Forty Nine Forty

I enjoyedy my overall experience with service and food and atmosphere, but there was definitely opportunity for improvement with limited menu. Service was the best part as our server was on top of helping us with time and choices. It was a moderately hot day in early evening in late June and that could have added to the final environment of the bugs, heat, and dry weather. Maybe dining in would be better option for intimate date? Seemed like a lot of people close together.

We enjoyed great service and food. The menu is limited for brunch but the wonderful combination of flavors is outstanding.

Everything about 4940 is extremely well thought out and executed. The market before the restaurant has unique and specialty ingredients and cookware. The ambiance of the dining area itself is classy and intimate without feeling pretentious. The plating of each dish is elegant. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food itself was really something special. We saw the chef checking every plate before it was sent out to be served and the attention to detail was evident! Every dish we tried was delicious and we are excited to come back to try new ones. After our meal, we had the pleasure of speaking with the owners who informed us of their Sunday brunch and fresh pastries. It was overall a really great dining experience and we will definitely be back.

We have eaten at Forty Nine Forty four times now! Why? Because it's the best food we have going in Corrales! My husband has the burger every time - it's made from prime rib that they grind into pure bliss. It's got to be the best burger in NM. I usually have a glass of wine and one of their salads or an appetizer. The burrata is excellent as is the shrimp and grits. They have a new Social Hour menu that I am excited to try out. We sat on the shady patio last night and it was such a lovely end to our Art Studio Tour day. The prices are perfectly fair for the quality of food. It's nice to have another dining option in Corrales that is beautiful, high quality and special.

Alert Alert: Six-star restaurant in Corrales - seriously, we have been waiting so long for a restaurant this great. This is our second time and it's fantastic. Nothing like it in Corrales and honestly nothing like it in Albuquerque. The food is amazing but of course it is because they have Javier as their chef. And Jason is the bar chef and has some fantastic wine selections by the glass. You all know I take these reviews very seriously and you will not go wrong here - go for it and let me know.
