Ranchers Club of New Mexico

I agree with the most recent review regarding price AND I have another complaint. The meal we had was close to $175 which for Albuquerque IS outrageous. Yes, the service was excellent and the atmosphere excellent but the food was just "good" and not terrific. HERE is the big complaint. For THOSE prices would you expect to have the hotel rent out a huge room next to the restaurant (right next to it) for an AA meeting with 100 people dressed in sandals and shorts or even LESS formally...like "holey" tee shirts? I'm all in favor of AA meetings and people who need it getting support but I do not think it is appropriate to host the meeting immediately adjacent to a restaurant charging nearly $200 a dinner. They should have moved the meeting to a room not so near the restaurant. It just made the evening feel like a much cheaper evening. Again, this could just as well have been "bicycle riders" of Albuquerque who might have dressed similarly. It just isn't what you expect next to one of the priciest restaurants in the city. AND the food isn't that great.

The Rancher's Club of Albuquerque used to be a high end restaurant - that is no more!! I confirmed my reservation with Debbie 3 times because I had a party of 14. I should have known my experience was not going to be good when the private room for my reservation was not set up. After shuffling tables and chairs around, we sat and received a complementary appetizer. It was delicious! We ordered drinks, then dinner. We realized that we were a large party and were expecting a little more than normal wait for our food, BUT 1 Hour is RIDICULOUS, especially because the restaurant was not full. When our food arrived, most of our parties food was cold. My food was delicious, but I ordered a soup and appetizer. Most of the people in my party were not complaining because it was a celebration dinner. However, afterward I was told that all the steaks were cold and so were the sides. Two dinner's were already comped because they were cold. After we finished our meals, we asked for our checks several times. After another hour, our checks were brought to our table. I would have left - not to skip out on the bill, but to hurry it along, but my mother and father-in-law frowned upon that. My sister went to talk to the manager on duty in private to let her know how much we were unhappy about the food and service. She offered to comp my sisters plate, but my sister said that was not right when everyone in our party was unhappy. The manager ended up giving up 50% off, but I don't think this was worth there for 3 1/2 hours. It was obvious there was not enough staff in that restaurant to accommodate our party. I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN AND WILL LET OTHER'S KNOW WHAT I EXPERIENCED!!!!

Food was below average and the prices are outrageous. The steak was salty (said my husband) I had the stuffed salmon and the contents it was stuffed with was cold and dry. The only good thing about this place was the bread and calamari. Much better places to go for half of the price.

This used to be THE PLACE! Now it’s just plain mediocre and expensive. We used to eat here once a month. Now we’re down to once a year...always hopeful it’s improved...but alas, not over the last 3 years...too bad
