Best Date Night Restaurants in University of New Mexico

fun place, great place to bring a date or special someone(s). the theatrical aspect, being a recreation of a roaring 20's speakeasy, is amusing. fairly high prices but not out of line, and the drink & glass of wine we had were both very nice. i only gave 3 stars for food, that's not TR's fault, it's because we only got one small appetizer so can't really give a meaningful evaluation of the food. we'll be back.

We had just gone to this restaurant one week ago but wanted to go back for dessert. We had appetizers and dessert. Everything was delicious! Also, they have a great wine selection and excellent service. This restaurant has become one of my favorites in Albuquerque!

Our dinner was fantastic! We split the Ceasar salad, garlic mashed potatoes, and the Porterhouse steak for two. We thoroughly enjoyed our dessert of creme brulee. Our server, Adrian, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. When I mentioned that we were there to celebrate my husband's birthday (which I had written down on my Open Table Reservation, but the restaurant had not noticed), Adrian quickly went to get the table "decorations " and the typical restaurant's birthday card. It was not a "big deal " to us that our table had not been decorated, but it was certainly a sign of how considerate/conscientious/etc. Adrian is. Kudos to him!!

We selected this restaurant for the quality of the food. It was our anniversary and we couldn’t have been more pleased. When seated, there was an anniversary card signed by multiple staff and then followed by a glass of champagne. We ordered delicious cocktails and tried some wonderful appetizers. The roasted artichokes with lemon hummus were especially tasty. The manager stopped by to see how we were enjoying everything so far. We ordered the filet mignon and a steak dinner entree which were both fantastic. Dessert was on the house. Our waiter, Wen, was very attentive and you should definitely ask for him if he’s available. This is one of the best in town and certainly my favorite. Thank you Seasons 52!

Excellent food coupled with outstanding service. I recommend Scalo to anyone who loves Italian .
