   We got married at the Prairie Star (17) years ago and every year on our anniversary we have a wonderful dinner there - just the two of us. Rebecca planned and orchestrated our wedding. And as hoped for - She's was there last night as usual making sure everyone was being treated to a 5 star experience. Our waitress Francesca is also an experienced server and her knowledge of the food and drink menu was right on the money -plus she is a delight to meet. We had the best anniversary evening yet. Superb food - atmosphere only surpassed by the graciousness of our hostesses. You'll enjoy your time there as well. THANKS TO ALL!

   We returned to Prairie Star after a long hiatus, and found it just as wonderful as it had been in the past. Superb food, cheerful and attentive service and a quiet, comfortable ambience made the experience all we had hoped for and more. Bravo, Prairie Star!

   Wonderful evening last night. The duck soup & grapefruit salad starters were on point! The entrees were equally delicious...swordfish was the best ever, lamb shank was so tender & mild-but add the red chile jus & flavor pops! We shared a Paso red & a Chard to go with. Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte-so good! Thank you for a wonderful date night!

   We were seated in a small room with a beautiful view of the mountains. The waitress behind us was talking a lot and her voice really carried... But otherwise it was a very intimate dining room. The steak was a little tough and overcooked. But it still tasted good. My partner's food was delicious and the rest of my meal was very good.

   Amazing as always and Francesca is about as good as they come. She is our favorite waitress, so personable and makes us feel special every time. Bravo to Chef Miles and all the staff. Our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque by far.

   We went to the bat before dinner for a drink and Avery was our bartender she is very sweet and made us some delicious drinks. We found out that she would also be our waitress we opted to change tables to stay in the bar area. The food and drinks were delicious. We will be back .

   Starters were excellent. The steak had an overwhelming smoky taste to it. The sides were good.

   Thank you so much for choosing Prairie Star for your Thanksgiving celebration. I am disappointed to hear you didn't enjoy the steak as much as the remainder of the meal. I have shared this with Chef Myles for his notes. We would appreciate you keeping us in mind for a future evening out, and thank you for responding.

    We arrived for the special Thanksgiving menu close to the last seating and that may account for the very dismal state of the food. The first side had been on the warming table much too long and was crisp beyond edible. When the waitress saw that I hadn't eaten it, instead of apologizing, she told me to not worry, that all sides were actually free and that I was only paying $80 for the entree. Somehow this did not appease me, it just made me think she took me to be an idiot. The other sides were nice, and the entree was fine, just not anywhere near worth $80! None of the diners at our table were as impressed with this four course meal as the menu led us to believe we would be getting. It was pretty pedestrian. We had to ask for bread. We had to ask to have the unused wine glasses taken away. We had to ask to have our water refilled. We won't be back to the Prairie Star. We had been hoping to find a new gem for dining but were very disappointed.

    First of all, thank you for choosing Prairie Star for your Thanksgiving celebration, and for responding with a review. We were disappointed to find your feedback, and please accept our apologies for the less-than suitable experience. The manager has taken note to discuss with the staff, and will contact you this week.
