My Tripadvisor review for Antiquity Restaurant in Albuquerque, NM.

I ate here again last night, and it's still good. I like their warm bread and the warm hospitality, and their soup.

I got a Chateaubriand to split with one of my friends, and it was very good. Nice and tender, with a good au jus. I also liked the potatoes that came with it.

I said it before, I'll say it again, this is not a restaurant to miss in Albuquerque.

My Tripadvisor review for Padilla's Mexican Kitchen in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This joint is absolutely delicious. There's not much in the decor, but there really doesn't need to be. If I had to advise a dish to go with, get one of the sopapilla dishes with the chiles. You can use honey to cut down on the spice, thankfully.

And on that note, the sopapillas here are the best. Just keep in mind, there can be a long line for lunch. When I came here on my last visit, the line was almost out the door. A few minutes in, and we get some mighty-fine New Mexican food. 

Tip: For chile dishes, order "Christmas" to get both red and green. Hard for me to figure out which one's my favorite.

This is one of those places you need to eat at when you make it to New Mexico.

La Jolla's Torrey Pines Resort

What can I say about the beautiful Lodge at Torrey Pines? For starters, the resort is absolutely beautiful. The wooden interior and fireplace in the lobby is a very warm welcome, and the staff at the hotel are very pleasant.

I like my room. The beds are comfortable and elegant, the bathroom is spacious, and the shower works well. I like those separate rooms for the toilet, by the way. I did feel like Wifi could be better, and the page for getting free Wifi needs work if the tab to confirm is hidden by the graphics! :0 I do like the Keurig in the room.

Now on to the restaurant and dining. I wasn't given the best first impression with the food here through room service. I found my chicken and pasta to be bland, like the chicken wasn't seasoned enough and the pasta was undercooked.
The main restaurant, Valentin, more than made up for it, though. My mother liked the waitress, Paige, quite a bit. The people in the restaurant and bar were very friendly. I loved their chicken dishes, especially the "brick" chicken. And the desserts were very good too.
The Golfer's grill was also very nice. Good burgers, and I liked the chicken there too. To top it off, they have great espresso (Ryan Bros.).

The pool area is very nice. I like the view from the hot tub.

There's a lot of great things about the lodge. I highly recommend it.
