   Messed up on my order but did give us a discount. Drinks were good but 0 presentation. Need to work on presentation and service. Lady was very nice but very slow. Good food for Ruidoso but not comparable to major cities at all.

   Food was overcooked to the point of not being able to eat half of it

   Not a busy night but food took much longer than it should have. Braised Bison short rib was dry and tough to chew. The mushrooms on the dish were the best part.

   We visited for a birthday dinner! The food was delicious and the restaurant ambience was perfect for a date night. There was an amazing acoustic guitar player as well. The service was amazing too!

   I made this reservation at Wendell's for our wedding anniversary and made sure to note this was the reason for the reservation. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and was checked in by the hostess. She told us to have a seat then checked in a couple after us. After a few minutes, she let me know that the only table available was a table right in front of the musician but that it's can be loud. I asked if there were other options as we were celebrating our anniversary and would like to be able to hear our conversation. She said there wasn't so we obliged. As we walked to our table, I noticed a booth, 2 tables that could seat for and a large table in the back that were open. I asked if we could take either of those tables and the hostess said there were for a 10 group. Shortly, after sitting us, she sat the couple who checked in after us at one of the tables I asked about. I was upset especially since when our waiter came by, he couldn't even hear our order because of the noise. We asked to be moved and they eventually moved us to one of the table I had inquired about. I could tell the waitress in our new section was annoyed we were moved to her area and it seemed she intentionally ignored us for several minutes before acknowledging us. When she came, she didn't seem friendly or ask if we were celebrating anything. Just straight to business and if we were ready to order. We didn't even get our drinks until 30 minutes after our original seating and food 1 hour later. The couple that was seated after us received everything promptly. It wasn't until we got our check that the waitress made sure to point out that she realized it was our anniversary on the reservation and comped our dessert as if she wanted to make sure we knew she went our of her way for us. While the food was good, this experience with the staff made this a not so special dinner. Oh and that party of 10 never arrived in the 1.5 hours it took for our dinner.

   Love the guitar player! We were disappointed for the first time with the salad. It was chopped up head of lettuce with watered down ranch. I had to pull out some brown pieces which should not happen for a small $3 salad. We enjoyed the shrimp appetizer and shared a Wagyu filet. It was delicious! You must come in weekends to enjoy the guitar player. Great experience!

   The decor and ambience were lovely. The manager and server who attended our large table were professional and very helpful. The crab soup was delicous and generous. The glass of white wine was aso a generous pour. My only concern was that the cold shrimp tasted metallic.

    The food and service were great! I was here for a business dinner, and the noise level was low, which is great because I don't hear well. Be careful; the sides are too big for one, but the old-fashioned cocktails were on point.
