We had another great visit to the DH Lescombes Cottonwood location and this one really stood out thanks to our bartender and server, Justin. We have been here multiple times and Justin has been by far the best server we have had. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. We shared the meatball appetizer and the New Mexico cheesesteak for lunch and everything was phenomenal. The food came out hot and flavorful and paired perfectly with the wine flights we ordered. Justin took the time to walk us through the wines, made great recommendations, and never made us feel rushed. Great food and wine are expected here, but exceptional service makes the experience. Justin absolutely elevated our visit and is a big reason we will keep coming back. If you stop by this location, do yourself a favor and sit with Justin.

After a few past visits that left me uncertain about the Cottonwood Les Combes location, my latest experience on Albuquerque’s Westside completely changed the narrative — thanks to the extraordinary hospitality of Aurora Jones and her charming high-tech sidekick, Robot Rosie. Aurora wasn’t even my assigned server that evening, yet within ten minutes of being seated, she noticed I’d been overlooked and — in an act of genuine kindness and professionalism that defines true hospitality — “adopted” our table. She immediately brought warmth, wit, and grace to the experience, balancing charm and attentiveness in a way few in the service industry manage anymore. The food was as impressive as Aurora’s service. I opted for two Wagyu specialties: the **Wagyu beef burger**, seared to perfection with a crisp edge and molten center of juicy richness, and the **Wagyu Chimayo red chile grilled pork chop**, a masterpiece of flavor. The Chimayo red chile added that quintessential New Mexico heat — not overpowering, but vibrant and earthy, amplifying the marbled tenderness of the pork. Both dishes arrived *piping hot*, delivered by none other than **Rosie, the autonomous robot server**, who rolled up with impressive precision and just the right amount of Silicon Desert flair. Located just down the road from Intel’s Rio Rancho factory, Les Combes seems to have borrowed a few programming secrets — the level of culinary coding here was flawless. Rosie’s delivery subroutine executed perfectly, but it was Aurora’s human touch that infused the experience with genuine hospitality, personality, and connection. After this visit, I can wholeheartedly say Les Combes has elevated its game. Between premium Wagyu meats cooked to exacting standards, and Aurora Jones’ standout service ethic, my faith in fine dining here has been fully restored. Next time I visit, I’ll be sure to check if Aurora is on shift — and maybe bring Rosie a software update as a tip.

This location is amazing with two patios, city views, a huge bar area and very well appointed dining room. We had reservations so we were seated right away. We have the wine club membership here which is so great! This evening we had the salmon, the chicken Parmesan, potstickers, and calamari. All were very delicious! We got bottles of wine to take home and two different wine flights to pick the wines we wanted. Definitely will be back soon:))

Stellar service, amazing views, and with Ashley as our server, it was an amazing first time here. We kept things light for lunch but the plates were heavy on flavor and portions, even for a lunch special that we didn't expect such an upscale looking place to have. The meatloaf was so nostalgic but has its own New Mexican kick with the red chile glaze on it and the broccolini gave this $11 dish such an elevation. The brussels sprouts were cooked just right, with a snap at the beginning and finished with the fully roasted softness inside. The shrimp was light enough on the tummy and the bacon that surrounded these guys added a punch of crispiness to the saturated seafood. Charcuterie boards are so yesterday, we need to go back to dip spreads, specifically this amazingly blended hummus and fresh fromage. We cannot wait to go back and see Ashley for another lunch service with the Sandias.

The food and service are outstanding, far better than I expected them to be. We dined with another couple, and everyone loved their meals. I ordered the Chimayo Red Chile Pork Chop which was one of the best pork chops I’ve had in any restaurant. It was cooked perfectly (Med, as suggested by the staff), tender and juicy. The flavor profile was excellent with the Chimayo red chile seasoning. Great mashed yukon gold potatoes and the seanonal vegetable was broccolini. The broccolini was expertly cooked Al dente. My wife had the blackened Rainbow Trout, which also came with the broccolini. The trout was not fishy, it was moist, and the garlic butter and mango pico were excellent. Service was just outstanding, thanks to our server, Ashley. For the quality and portion sizes, I feel the prices were actually quite affordable considering the costs of high-end Restaurants in this town. I’m happy to see there is an opportunity to order this excellent pork chop up in Santa Fe, where we live at the wine bar. I highly recommend Lescombes Winery & Bistro and will certainly return.
