Had a great meal here! Des was great, he took our orders quickly and checked on us often. We had the chorizo relleno, buffalo wings and a great caesar salad. A mashup of dive bar, sports bar, and patio restaurant. Everything was pleasant, tasty and fun.
Daniele was our server was super amazing had a personality of gold Wings were superior I recommend coming here
Delicious food and drinks. Calm atmosphere to enjoy dinner alone and drinks at the bar.
Came in tonight for dinner and everything was great. Dez was super helpful and polite. Loved the atmosphere and especially the customer service and hospitality Dez provided here. Kimberley and Danielle were also fantastic. Great communication between the servers. Highly recommend.
Was staying in Albuquerque for the night and Two Cranes was within walking distance. Staff was quick and friendly. Had the Green Chile Cheese Burger with sweet potato fries. Kind of a disappointing amount of fries for the price, but they were super good as well as the burger.
There was 9 of us and Devin did a great job. The chili stew was excellent. The hamburger my wife had was great. The Philly steak my mother-in-law had was excellent. The drinks specials for happy hour were very good. I recommend having at least three more. They had TV's to watch. Outside dining was pleasant. Very nice experience for all.
My kind of place. A true bistro with a great range of microbrew beers and cocktails as well as menu items such as appetizers and pastas, green chili stew, etc.. One of my most absolute favorites is the salmon with the Basil cream sauce and jasmine rice and vegetable. It’s just fun and relaxed and there is good music and sports on TV. And also guess what? I haven’t even mentioned the tequila bar attached...!!! And Dez and Nicandra lead the awesome server team!
The food was great, although it was cold from sitting in the window too long. The wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Tables were left dirty, and the table we sat at was cleared of dishes but felt dirty when we sat down. My husband's glass had lipstick still on it. However, the staff were friendly and they were trying their best so I don't want to deduct a star.
