    Salads were excellent with the exception of the added protein. The chicken on my husband’s salad and pork tenderloin on my salad were dry.

    We sat outside. Flies were so annoying. Frissee salad with duck was ok. The eggs on top were perfect, but the salad itself needed a little more. I didn't expect tiny shreds of duck. My husband loved his soup and sandwich. Possibly would go back but not running there.

    We didn’t choose this restaurant because of the vegetarian options, we just wanted something other than Mexican food. Everything was delicious. I didn’t love the interior part of the restaurant but we sat in a lovely courtyard. Waitstaff was casual but enthusiastic and represented the establishment well. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and make sure to order the bread and save room for dessert.

    Quality and quantity of the food is NOT what it used to be on our Asian Salads. The chicken had NO Flavor and was much smaller than it used to be. The salad was ok, but was missing something

    I love Vinaigrette and eat there whenever I'm in Albuqerque. I was going to give the Ambience portion the highest rating but it was marred by the music factor. I really believe that people go to a restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal and the company of others. This includes being able to converse at the table. There is nothing wonderful about having to raise your voice and strain to hear. So, can you please just dial down the music? There's a reason why it's called "background". Maybe should be also be an option to the question below this box. On this trip that would be my choice.

    Great place for a lighter meal after many heavy New Mexican meals. Salads were delicious--very fresh. Our only complaint was that there seemed to be a staff shortage and it took quite a while for us to be waited on.

    The quality of the food we had was excellent, but you were out of the items we really wanted. The Salad Nicoise special. The kale fritter. CARROT CAKE. Seriously? I can tell you are understaffed (I get it) but what's with all the missing menu items? It was seriously disappointing. Over server (I think her name is Sky) was super friendly, and tried to play it off. But then would disappear for long periods of time. We were halfway through our meal when she asked if us if we'd like bread, and we said sure. She brought plates and olive oil immediately but we were basically finished with our food by the time the bread actually arrived. Again what we did actually eat was great (Nutty Pearfessor, duck tacos, asparagus/prosciutto special) but the overall experience was something to be desired.

    We sat outside on the patio, which was lovely, except for the occasional loud car or motorcycle going by. The sandwiches have shrunk a bit since I was there previously so that was disappointing, especially for the price they charge. We were offered soup or salad with our sandwich and we both chose soup but when the bill came, we were charged extra for the soup. When questioned, the new wait person said that the info is listed on the menu but we did not see it or understand that we were going to be charged extra when we ordered it. We were also charged a KAF fee, which they said was a kitchen appreciation fee. Seriously? I have always loved this restaurant because of the ambience and the delicious fresh food but I’m not sure that I will return. I think $50 is a bit much for two small sandwiches and a 2 cups of soup.

    The atmosphere was casual and inviting. Service was friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The gumbo was great. Menu choices are limited and the Greek salad consisted almost entirely of cucumber, and the added chicken was very small for the price, I'm guessing no more than 3oz for the $7 plus price. I didn't check the ingredients list, but it was way more cucumber than I have ever seen in a Greek salad. There was some Feta cheese, but not much. So an OK evening, but nothing to write home about.

    Not impressed. Haven’t been in years but remember it being a great place to eat. This time, however, every aspect was below par. The service was extremely slow. My wife’s salad was missing both avocado and chicken. The place was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Not sure we will be returning again.

    The salads are always good here, although I was disappointed in my salad that was supposed to have burrata and had mozzarella instead. I don’t know if they had run out of burrata, in which case the waiter should’ve told us and given us a discount, or if they think people don’t know the difference. Our waiter was also slow and required multiple prompts for everything, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Overall, a less good experience than usual.
