Antiquity - Isleta Pueblo

Absolutely fantastic fine dining restaurant. The waiter was very helpful and guided you to make perfect selections. If we are ever back in Albuquerque, we will enjoy another night here.

What was ordered; Escargot, Special: Oysters on a half shell, Henry IV, Ribeye Tip: There is free 2 hr parking in front of the restaurant so do a loop to check before paying in the lot. Dress code: didn't seem to be one, there was a broad range of outfits. Atmosphere: When we entered there were SO MANY FLIES and some bees, just buzzing around the front door inside and out with nothing to deter them. Escargot: Amazing, the shallot butter was delicious and the fresh baked, crusty, sour dough rolls were made fresh before being brought to the table and sopped up the sauce perfectly. We did get it without mushrooms due to an allergy. Oysters: This was a special so won't always be available but they were high quality and delicious. My partner had the Ribeye, and thought it was good and cooked to a perfect medium rare but it also wasn't anything special, he felt like he could've gotten the same at Black Angus or Longhorn. I had the Henry IV (bacon wrapped filet mignon, artichoke) without the béarnaise sauce, ordered medium rare but it was more like medium, there was also a toothpick fully embedded in my meat so when I was eating it the next day I got a bite of wood. I wish there were more sauce options but the meat was well seasoned. Service: Great, they were attentive without hovering and our water glasses were always full. Not exactly the most accessible for mobility aides or larger bodies as it is in old town.

I’m certain this is the best meal I’ve ever had. This is the kind of place where you should do all the courses. My husband and I took my mother here for her birthday and everything we ate was nothing short of delectable. We had the crab cakes and french onion soup to start followed by the salad (the upgrade was totally worth it). I highly recommend the surf and turf with the scallops (they were cooked perfectly) as was my husbands ribeye and my mothers Henry IV. We finished the evening with the chocolate mousse and the the poli chenta… I’ve never had a finer meal and it was an excellent choice for a celebration. The service was top notch and the man that took my reservation was jovial. On the way out the owner asks “how did we do?” Exquisite was all I could think of in my post dinner bliss. Thank you Antiquity; every single thing was perfection.

The maitre d is unacceptably rude both on the phone and in person. We used to go here for our anniversary and my husband’s birthday. We won’t be back until that man is no longer employed there.

I spent days reading reviews of many restaurants in town to pick one for my birthday and I’m so happy I decided to go with Antiquity. Our server, Shaun, was incredible. Best service we’ve had in years. The escargot was perfectly cooked, the steak was like butter- speaking of butter the green chili rolls were out of this world. To top it off the dessert sampler was just the right way to end the meal. Very happy with my experience.
