Upscale Patio Bar and Restaurant Overlooking Old Town AlbuquerqueSeasons Grill in the heart of the Sawmill District in Old Town is a local favorite and a visitor's destination! The concept is driven by one core idea: take the best fresh and seasonal ingredients and prepare them in a casually elegant environment. The open kitchen's wood-burning rotisserie & grill creates an opportunity for signature dishes such as Kobe Ribeye Filet, Grilled Jumbo Sea Scallops and a daily fresh fish to be more than a meal, but an experience. We have a great Happy Hour Wednesday thru Friday on the Rooftop, including food and drink specials. Dine on the second story balcony or inside with open breezes! Seasons has an extensive award-winning wine list, a full bar and several private dining options for up to 100 people. For more information please visit us at seasonsabq.com or call 505-766-5100

We went tonight to the restaurant in honor of my dad‘s first birthday in heaven. This was his favorite restaurant and this is where we would go every year on his birthday so we decided to go anyway in honor of him. The weight staff and the management made our evening extremely special and even brought Our dessert with a candle in it so that we could blow out dad‘s candle. Thank you all for making it such a wonderful night!

This is the BEST place in New Mexico to relax with a perfectly balanced cocktail while munching on tasty scallops or other fare, while listening to beautiful jazz and songbook standards performed live by musicians that know and live the music. I haven’t found any other place in the state that feels so good to me, and I’ll keep looking, but always come home to Teddys.
