The Artichoke Cafe - Albuquerque

I never come here for lunch or dinner. I mean, not normal. But REGULARLY come to the bar for a light dinner, wine and cocktails. Tonight...

Came for a work dinner, was here before. Did the pappardelle try? which is prepared differently at night, this time so delicious with duck....

Server was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The support team was also great. My waterglass was never empty for a long time. The ambience?

Overall, it was a great experience! The house-made bread was delicious, but I would have preferred it served warm. The beet salad was good, but it could use a little extra flavor, like balsamic vinegar or blue cheese; it was a bit too bland for my taste. However, the shrimp and grits, as well as the pasta, were excellent, and the beautifully prepared and baked mushrooms were probably the best I’ve ever had—seasoned to perfection! I would definitely come back for more!

The atmosphere and service were exceptional. They offer a delightful selection of wines, and the wild mushroom ragout was outstanding. I returned to ANNEX I, and the entire experience was fantastic once more. The service was flawless, and the food was amazing. I absolutely love this place!
