Loved the service especially, and the food was great. Their wine was delicious. I agree with other reviewers that the noise was a bit much. They have patio seating which we would have chosen, but it was reserved for a large bus group. This was during Balloon Fiesta week, and we thought they did a great job of getting our food and drinks to us considering how busy they were.

My husband and I celebrated our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary with a dinner at DH Lescombes. It was our first time dining there and we were not disappointed. The ambiance was exquisite despite the somewhat loud noise level. The decor and the service were both top notch. Our server Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty. He made our anniversary even more special with a free dessert, a coupon for a free wine flight on our next visit and a hand written list of recommended local attractions and eateries. And then there is the food. The potsticker appetizer was pleasing to both the eye and palate. I had the meatloaf entree which was delicious. And my husband loved the beef bourguignon. And the crème brûlée we had for dessert was delightfully creamy underneath a beautiful gold crust. We will definitely return and highly recommend DH Lescombes to anyone seeking fine but affordable dining in the Albuquerque area.

Stuart, thank you so much for celebrating your thirty-fifth wedding anniversary with us! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our offerings and that Sergio helped make your evening memorable with his thoughtful touches and local recommendations. Your kind words about our ambiance, service, and food mean the world to us. We can't wait to welcome you both back soon - congratulations again on 35 wonderful years together!

Very noisy. Difficult to hold a conversation. Warm and humid inside; poor air conditioning. Food was good, but not exceptional. Prices are very reasonable. Service was superficially ok, but the waiter got my entree order wrong, and I had to wait about 15 minutes until the proper entree was delivered, by which time the other three in my party were nearly finished. But even if everything was very good overall, I probably wouldn't return because the noise level was too high for my comfort.
