Best Fun Restaurants in Placitas

As I wrote last time we ate there, 4940 has matured and mastered the art of combining excellent food with impeccable service. From being greeted by Julie to Kyle's recommendations and service, the feeling is one of returning to one's favorite neighborhood restaurant to be greeted and served by old and good friends and neighbors and a kitchen that comes through every time. The grilled romaine salad is as good as it gets; the sea bass was once again the jewel of the restaurant; the Moroccan spiced lamb shank was very good; and the desserts were terrific. I find the chocolate dessert a bit dry for my taste but the chocoholics in our party of five were very pleased with it and my apple creme brulee was great. The piece d'resistance was Julie's decaf cappuccino - smooth and just right to go with the dessert. A lovely evening. Along with the Indigo Crow ("the Crow") 4940 gives Corrales Village two great choices for relaxed and very satisfying fine dining.

Great service. Great food. Very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back and try other items on menu.

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!

The city lights flight is amazing to see. The food is amazing to eat. The wait staff is amazingly polite, knowledgeable and made our first time to this location a memorable experience.

We used the BOGO Free email for our dinner. I had the salmon with baked potato and calabacitas while my partner had enchiladas with a relleno and fried egg. We shared the guac. He enjoyed his margarita while I sipped my delicious Sauvignon Blanc. The room was lovely and warm by the fire. Our waiter was very attentive which made our dinner and time at El Pinto all the nicer! Thank you for hiring such great staff. It's one reason we continue to go to El Pinto coupon or not. We highly recommend.
