Upscale Patio Bar and Restaurant Overlooking Old Town AlbuquerqueSeasons Grill in the heart of the Sawmill District in Old Town is a local favorite and a visitor's destination! The concept is driven by one core idea: take the best fresh and seasonal ingredients and prepare them in a casually elegant environment. The open kitchen's wood-burning rotisserie & grill creates an opportunity for signature dishes such as Kobe Ribeye Filet, Grilled Jumbo Sea Scallops and a daily fresh fish to be more than a meal, but an experience. We have a great Happy Hour Wednesday thru Friday on the Rooftop, including food and drink specials. Dine on the second story balcony or inside with open breezes! Seasons has an extensive award-winning wine list, a full bar and several private dining options for up to 100 people. For more information please visit us at seasonsabq.com or call 505-766-5100

Awesome. Called all over the city trying to get someone to re create a sushi roll from a place that has closed in another state and they not only did it but they nailed it. I will absolutely go back. The guys were awesome and accommodating and I really can’t say enough about the experience. Thank you!

Service was very good & food was delicious. My husband is not usually brave with his food choices, but loved the shrimp enchiladas which he had never had before. I had the sirloin & enchiladas. Very good. Finished with the chocolate torte. Yummy!

The buffet was quite limited for the price. One choice of soup, salad bar, , meatloaf, and potatoes. Honestly, I expected more.
