    From the moment I walked into Mission Winery Wine & Dine, I knew I was in for something special. This is not your typical Albuquerque restaurant—the ambiance is absolutely stunning! The attention to detail in the decor creates a warm, inviting, and elevated atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment. The menu is a delightful mix of comfort food classics, all with a creative New Mexican twist. To start, I ordered the lobster deviled eggs, which were rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For my main course, I chose the green chile smash burger with hand-cut fries. Let me just say, this burger was a showstopper! It was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the patty is made from house-ground brisket. The difference in quality was unmistakable. I paired my meal with a red wine flight, which was an excellent choice. The wine selection was impressive, but I also noticed they had a variety of craft cocktails and beers for those looking for something different. The service was just as impressive as the food—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The staff made me feel welcome and taken care of from start to finish. This was, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Albuquerque. Whether you’re a wine lover, a foodie, or just looking for a standout meal in a beautiful setting, Mission Winery Wine & Dine should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait to return!

    From the moment we walked in we had a good feeling about this spot, we were treated respectfully, and the night was elevated by their kindness, as we selected them for our anniversary dinner. We look forward to dining with them again in the future, as the food and drinks were memorable, but really, the service was exceptional.
