   Booked this reservation last minute. I am so glad I did. I can’t saw enough about the service from Matthew. He was amazing. The bar was extremely crowded and there was band. So I assume that is one reason bar was Croats we couldn’t get a drink prior to be seated at our reservation time We were seated on time and quickly waited on. The suggestion for Negroni cocktail was “perfect “. Our food and wine was beyond exceptional. My husband and I are very critical of all aspects of a restaurant. This was as close to perfection you can get for price. We DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!!

   The service was outstanding and the recommendations for food and wine hit the spot. The duck was and pork cheek pasta both were amazing. Half price wine night too! Great experience at Scalo.

   Had a reservation here booked two hours before a play at UNM. Kitchen is very slow. Took over an hour to get appetizer and we ended up leaving after an an hour and forty minutes of waiting on our dinner. When we left, the kitchen hadn’t even got to our order yet. Menu looks good, but you will need a solid three hours to eat dinner on a weekend night.

   We aren’t strangers to Scalos. We love it. We chose it this last Saturday evening particularly because one of our favorite bands was playing. Unfortunately, where we were seated we couldn’t hear them- but that’s irrelevant. Our reservation was for 5:15pm. We were there by 5:10pm and were seated right away. At that point there were only about 2 other tables filled, and maybe 1-2 others who had visibly already eaten. However, service was ridiculously slow and we didn’t get food, not even bread, until almost 8pm. We were so hungry, we asked for bread to tide us over, and the response was that it would cause major disruption in the kitchen, and the bread would take longer than our food to come out. What? Our server, clearly irritated and never apologetic, finally brought out bread, just before our plates. One of us had a garlic allergy, which was made known right away. After she placed the bread down and walked away, and later came by to say, “oh, the bread has garlic”. Too late for my friend, unfortunately. When the manager asked how everything was, we told him we had placed our order an hour before it came out. His said, “an HOUR???!!” in a very disbelieving way, asked my date to love his chair for someone passing by, then walked away. Never an apology or explanation. When our bill was brought out, we were actually charged for the bread. When we questioned it, the server, irritated, said she would see what she could do. I am still in disbelief that we were there from 5:15-8:30pm, and the manager could not believe we had waited an hour for our food after ordering. And how he, a manager, had not a better response to our complaint of waiting as long as we had. We will not be returning to this once staple for us. This was one place we could always count on for great food and service. It’s sad that there isn’t better service recovery and I can guarantee this place will continue to lose business if this is how they treat their loyal patrons- or anyone.

    Scalo is a wonderful special occasion dining experience in Albuquerque. Great ambiance, attentive wait people, great little fine dining touches (eg providing clean silverware between courses). My food was a delicious but borderline too rich for me -next time I'll take half of the delicious risotto home for next day's meal! Too pricy for anything but a special occasion, but terrific!

    We've been a few times in the past couple of years, and this was a pre-fixe menu for New Year's Eve and a party of four. Every single course was terrific and portioned just right. We also ordered cocktails and went with the recommendation of our server - who could give us a heads up about whether we may like the cocktail (one cocktail had anise in it - so one in our party changed her choice to the recommended one). And, for an NYE event, the service was still excellent.

    Expensive but okay for special occasion. Appetizers and main dishes very good. Dessert (especially the pear tart) was a big disappointment. Too bad, because dessert finalizes the experience and becomes prominent in the memory of the evening.

    Perfect Northern Italian dining experience. Great though abbreviated menu. Succulent salmon and a beautifully done pasta dish were rounded out by a rich Italian brownie ( more like a flourless torte) and attentive service.

    Great prix fixe Christmas Eve dinner. First had tomato basil bisque, gulped it down and almost licked the bowl but caught myself. Second, had cioppino and it reminded me of my times on the Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Lastly, had some tasty Olive Oil Cake, a wonderful way to end the evening. Need to compliment my waiter, Gibson, who made it all happen. Great interpersonal skills, and super attentiveness. Thank you.

    It's Holiday time so it was pretty noisy in the restaurant. My husband, who has hearing aids, had trouble conversing with me because of the noise level. Our server seemed overwhelmed. He was nice when he came to the table but he kept making excuses for the level of service we were receiving. My pasta was undercooked and oversalted. This was my first time to Scalo in many years, and the quality for the price was not good. Our dinner, pre-tip, came to almost 100.00, it was not worth it. We won't be rushing to come back.

    The cocktail selection was wonderful, and the honeybadger did not disappoint. Entre wise, we were both left unsatisfied; the half chicken dish was served with the chicken mostly raw (manager offered a complimentary dessert to make up for it) and the mushroom cream pasta was bland. While we had a lovely evening, we aren't sure if it was our meal choices that left us wanting more, or the entire menu itself. Interested it trying again in the future to give it a second chance.

    The food was delicious, our wait person (Hannah) was wonderful, & 1/2 off a bottle-of-wine-on-Wednesdays was icing on the cake. My friend & I shared the most crab generous crab cake I've ever had and a crispy fresh salad (miste) as openers to a delicious pork entree for him and the melt-in-your mouth veal piccata for me. It was my friend's first visit to Scalo's and one of many visits for me. We both agree it will not be the last!

    Brunch at Scalo is very expensive, and the food and service did not justify the price the one time we have tried it (contrary to our experience at dinner, which rates five stars for wonderful, imaginative food and attentive service). We both ordered the egg Bennie with a jumbo lump crab cake, a splurge at $30. The crab was pasteurized, and had a hard texture, not pleasant. The single egg was tasty, although not cooked to our requested “medium”, and the potatoes and Hollandaise sauce were perfect. No fruit or other accompaniment. The service was adequate, but not the polished competence we see at night. Could have been an off day. Other menu items looked good and may be more to my taste, but at these prices, I won’t explore them. So YES I recommend Scalo for dinner, but sadly, NO for brunch.

    Wanted to spend a nice evening celebrating. Service was great but the menu and wine selection was lacking in all areas. Two of the bottles we would have liked were not available and the charcuterie board was dismal…would have preferred a more rounded selection of meats and cheeses, with olives thrown into the mix. Also, NM chile should never be “seasonal.” PS: the menu was beyond lacking and overpriced.
