Service was wonderful and ambiance was beautiful because of the view. Steak was a bit tough and pretty expensive, although we were comped this meal, which we appreciated! The wine special glass of the day showed as $3.5 on the menu, however was shocked to find out it was actually $35.00 per glass as relayed by the waiter before I considered ordering it!! Nice experience overall but plan to pay more than a usual steakhouse.

Went to the restaurant for our 25th wedding anniversary. Our waitress was delightful, but the scallops (among other things) were massively over salted, and the meal overall was mediocre. Made me sad, as the food has always been quite tasty in the past. It’s just difficult to go out on a special occasion, only to be disappointed, especially for the amount of money one has to pay for a meal there.

Sea bass was returned for being tasteless. Replaced with pork loin that was over cooked. Not a good experience.

We had a lovely evening. I very much appreciated no loud music that I had to talk over. Our steaks were perfect and perfectly tender and delicious. I especially loved the asparagus. The Lemon cake was to die for.

We sat at a table near the exterior wall and near the glass door to a party room. The door near us was left open even though all traffic in/out of the room went through a door on another wall. The people in the room were not continually loud, but when they laughed, we couldn't hear one another. Why wasn't the door near us closed? (We couldn't locate our waiter, so we didn't ask him to close the door near us.) There were bread plates on our table, but there weren't butter knives for each plate. We spread the butter with serrated knives. I expected better knowledge of tableware. The pepper shaker wouldn't release pepper. I find this to be common. Apparently, those who fill pepper shakers are not schooled to fill pepper shakers no more than 2/3 full. If they are less than 2/3 full, then the pepper doesn't "fluff" to a volume that prevents the pepper from being released. Our waiter finally sent someone to fill our water glasses. Apparently, he had something more urgent than observing that we'd needed our glasses refilled.

We live in Albuquerque and always bring our our to town guests to Bien Shur —wonderful menu —great food—I think it could have been served a bit hotter —I like my food served directly from oven to table. The view of the mountains and golf course from that height is stunning. Love it and so do our guests.
