Forty Nine Forty - Corrales, New Mexico

We’ve dined here for dinner and had a great experience but we got curious about their brunch menu this Sunday. I was so pleasantly surprised to see a shrimp roll with poached egg featured! It’s rare to find a perfectly poached egg around here so I hardly order it (even though they’re my favorite) but Forty Nine Forty does it right!! Close up in photos for reference;) The fries and aioli were delicious and they managed to make my son’s scrambled egg and potatoes exceptionally delicious. Can’t wait to come back.

Had a marvelous brunch on a cool overcast Sunday morning. First time eating here, and I was impressed with the whole ambiance. Warmly greeted at the front. There's 3 different dining areas: the front dining area is part of a smaller morning cafe & "country store", the main dining room which has an elegant bar, & the patio outside seating.

Main course: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Ahi Tuna Poke Avocado Toast

Dessert was exquisite! Key Lime Pie & Panna Cotta

Will return in the near future for sure!

Excellent find! We had reservations and when we arrived the hostess was very friendly and sat us at the table and said your server will be right over. We waited and no one ever came over and other tables we were getting service and no one came over to us. I was starting to wonder if we should get up and leave than a very nice gentleman came to the table and asked if we have been waiting on and we said no, he said I'm sorry and I will be right over. He was excellent! His name is Dash and was very pleasant and friendly and very attentive. The food was excellent, delicious and very flavorful. We started with the Roast Pork Belly and was very good and I ordered the flight 4940 for my dinner and my husband ordered smoked beef picanha and both meals were so yummy! The dishes were beautifully plated. Overall it was an excellent experience even with the little hiccup when we were seated. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set a perfect tone with its elegant decor and warm lighting. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. Each dish was a masterpiece—flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impeccable. The chef’s attention to detail was evident in every bite, and the dessert was the cherry on top of an already stellar meal. This restaurant truly offers an exceptional experience, combining outstanding food with top-notch service. Highly recommend!

We went for brunch, granted, not dinner. Overall. We thought this was okay. The service was hit and miss and our waitress was very busy. Granted. Overall, though, I wouldn't have expected the food to be better based on the reviews and the intention of the restaurant. My partner had the ahi tuna avocado toast and it seemed like it had an extraordinary amount of mayonnaise like dressing on top of it which made it almost inedible for her. I had the shrimp roll which overall was tasty but not not. Super flavorful. I definitely want to try this place for dinner but was overall disappointed with our first experience there. We were also a little disappointed that most of the dishes had beef as the protein and no other real options other than that. I would have liked a little better options for vegetarians or non-beef eaters . Our Mimosa was outstanding and definitely want to try their cocktails another time.

First time here and we had an amazing experience! The food, the ambience all amazing. Our waiter Dash was the best! We really enjoyed him.

Came here to check out and found that the owner and staff are very welcoming. This was a week before my wedding and trying to find the perfect place to have brunch on the day after the wedding. This is it!!! I made a reservation for today. The team made everything happen that I asked for to celebrate my wife and I special day. I highly recommend this establishment. It is our new Sunday brunch spot. Thank you for making our day so great and special @Kyle

Quite Overrated.

The Good...

My meal was terrific! The bass, with asparagus side. Amazing piece of fish! extremely well prepared!

Bartenders are dialed. My Empress martini was exquisite (most elegant twist I've ever seen). Precision preparation.

Well conceived wine menu, and at comparatively reasonable prices even.

The Meh...

Cauliflower appetizer overcooked. Tasty crispy fried shell (certainly delish), but inside was pure mush.

The Poor...

My mother was underwhelmed with her Ribeye Au Poivre. An oversized (and still overpriced) behemoth topped with dry, mostly flavorless, mushrooms. Nothing refined about the dish presentation at all. Looked mostly like a giant dry cow patty on the plate.

Atmosphere is OK, but mostly like a wanna' be big city corporate executive destination restaurant (at least the main seating area around kitchen & bar). Pretty generic. Reminded me of my lesser favorite high-end restaurants in Seattle.

Very loud: Between full house, ultra-close proximity seating, and the overloud generic house music, was very hard to carry a conversation.

The Bad...

Service was simply terrible! Save for the hostess and one bartender I approached to get my wine that I had been waiting for for over 10 minutes. Those two might have been the only service conscious individuals, and certainly the only two people who smiled.

We waited 15 minutes after being seated before server arrived. I watched my martini warm up at the bar for over five minutes after being prepared (that sorta' drink needs to be delivered immediately); and, again, wine I ordered specifically to go with my main course was never delivered (until I approached the bar to ask for it).

The general attitude of most staff, particularly leadership, was seemingly self-important, over serious, and arrogant. Lighten up yo'!

Noteworthy: Poor form that no vegetarian main course options were offered on the menu.

All in all, made for a pretty lackluster Mother's Day dinner.
