Friendly service, tasty food, good size potions. Wine and beer selections were good, and they have seasonal wine flights at a very reasonable price. Specialty drinks look good, too. I enjoy the patio area, too
Several years ago, my wife and I had breakfast at Two Cranes Bistro and Brew on Rio Grande just West of Old Town. We had a good experience but hadn't returned due to COVID. This past week we gave it a try for dinner. Two Cranes has both indoor and patio seating, but no misters so we decided to eat indoors. There is a bar on one side of the room with around 10 tables on the other. Mixed drinks, wine, and a large selection of regional draft beers are offered. The food menu was not large, but had a good selection of sandwiches, pastas, bowls and other entrees. We both went for the sandwiches. I had the Cubano ($14) and my wife had the Santa Fe Chicken ($15). Both were excellent. The sandwiches came with a side of fries or a side salad. For drinks we each had a draft of a local beer. ($8) The service was very prompt and friendly. The sandwiches were tasty and more than adequate in size. My only complaint was the price of the beer. All beers on the menu were $8, which is out of line for a local beer in Albuquerque. Other than that, I would highly recommend giving Two Cranes a try.
I was hopeful for this place as it was full and had a good vibe. Ordered 2 chicken Caesar salads to go. One with regular dressing one with Italian and got honey mustard for both. Seemed basically clean but I didn't examine every inch of the place. Maybe if the dude packing the orders checked before handing them out it would cut down on the waste.The chicken was dry when I tasted it.Not overly impressed. Probably won't return. The waiter was nice enough. Now I have to go back from my hotel to get the correct order.
amazing food with excellent service. Conner is the greatest. Worth the trip from Iowa
Marcos was a great server! Drinks were pretty good! I got the Cubano and it left quite a bit to be desired. It had a weird sauce and was just on a general bread loaf. My wife got the veggie flatbread with goat cheese and it was pretty blah and too salty. The fries were extremely oily and I would not get them again. The mixed drinks were pretty good though!Edit: in response to the owners reply below, the reason for the 2 stars was typically if the food at a restaurant isn't good, there isn't much reason in my opinion to go back (so it heavily weights the rating), but food can always improve over time with feedback from customers! However the drinks, service and environment were very good!
We were visiting from Florida found this restaurant online and walked over. it was a great atmosphere. The food was unbelievably delicious but the most outstanding was our service especially Marcos, he was one of our favorite servers ever. Highly recommend
Stopped for a quick lunch on our way back to OK. Used the restroom, where there was no soap and the paper towel dispenser was inoperable (they did have a roll of towel). Don’t know if this was the only restroom, but there were employee reminders on the wall. We did notify them, and they did put soap in the dispenser, but not right away. Made me wonder about food safety but we ate anyway, hoping there was another washroom for staff. My husband and I split a burger and fries, and it was pretty good. Wait staff was friendly and helpful.
Amazing spot for local beer! Majority of taps are local and the bar tender was very friendly and helpful in selecting what beers we might like. If you like small but fun local spots and beer, this is the spot for you!
They were very busy and only two staff members up front which one stayed mostly behind the bar. The draft beer I got was great but the bottle of bud lite my wife received was very warm. The wait staff brought a chilled glass and he explained they have told the owners about the issue. She couldn't finish.The staff was short handed but very professional and damn good at there job.The food was excellent. Prime rib sandwich and truffle mac and cheese was shared and both were perfectly prepared.Fix the beer fridge and get more staff and you would have deserved more than 5 stars.
The food and dessert was good. I grade it as a B The waiter was AWESOME, Funny, and he made sure we were satisfied and our cups stayed full. I appreciated that. He was tipped well because of his service THANK YOU ?
