Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Albuquerque Acres West

Fantastic oysters, which is why we came here. Prime rib was very good, although presented on top of mashed potatoes and covered in fried onions; it was not visually appealing and was hard to eat without moving everything around. The tasty fried onions got soggy quickly on top of the prime rib. My husband got the salmon, which he liked, but he said the sweet potatoes were a little undercooked. The salmon also had a bright green sauce that our server explained was for contrast and flavor, but it looked a bit artificial. The restaurant could use some remodeling -- there was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Our server was attentive. I would come back mainly for the oysters (and the pizza, which I've had previously and is amazing). I still give it 4 stars, as this place is reliable and has a good menu, wine list, cocktails, and service.

The food and service were wonderful. One of the Wine & Dine features ran out quickly. At first, I was very disappointed. Chef Myles saved the day because he created a new seafood dish that was similar and quite delicious. Francesca was our delightful server. She can deliver bad news and make it good. Prairie Star has a great team.

I have nothing bad to say about this place. Loved the coziness, menu, staff and most importantly the food. The portions were actually very generous. Me and my husband split the starter (shrimps and grits), I ordered the lamb rack and mu husband ordered surf and turf. The meat was done to perfection, asked for medium and that’s what we got. If you have experienced Aperol spritz in Europe you might know it is hard to get the same experience in the states but they got it exactly right in Indigo Crow! I’d like to praise our waiter (pretty young man, unfortunately don’t remember his name). Very polite, attentive, professional but still “fun”. Will happily come back again!

Fabulous meal. We enjoyed the French Bistro vibe and excellent food so much that we came back and brought friends. The duck confit egg rolls and smoked trout potato pancake were excellent, and we each enjoyed wonderful entrees, Salmon, Lobster Ravioli, Filet Mignon, and Lamb Loin. The service staff is attentive and anticipating. Even though we live on the west side we will be making the journey to come here often.

We celebrated a birthday and to say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. Everything was absolute perfection. Our view was amazing, all the courses were timed well and the staff was outstanding. Joseph was our waiter and he did everything to make our celebration wonderful. Definitely take your wait staffs advice on food options. 10/10 with no notes.
