I was really disappointed in the food here as we're my 3 companions. Everything was really rich and not very distinctive or just bland. I had the pasta Bolangaise, which tasted more of cream than milk. It was really too rich for my palette. The blue corn hominy was good but also too rich. For dessert, we shared a chocolate cake, which was good, and a rice pudding, bland. My friends did like their wines. I much preferred the food and atmosphere before they upgraded the restaurant and property. Simplicity was the key then. Los Poblanos used to be a very distinctive NM home, by renowned architect John Has Meem. The old home is still there but they enlarged the restaurant into something that looks like it could be a farmhouse anywhere in the country. And with that change, came tasteless food.Ive heard that brunch is pretty good, so maybe, I'll try that. The service, however, was excellent. My recommendation for fine dining is to pick another restaurant in Albuquerque. There are many other good ones that are not as pretentious or as expensive.

I know I'm probably in the minority when it comes to the restaurant and it's food but my Santa Fe friends were also unimpressed. We used to love this place and would visit often. Now it's meh.
