👍👍 My son son and I came here an ordered one dish that they said was enough to share. We got the dish an it was enough for one person. Manager Dustin made sure we had enough to eat at this place, it was delish and I never give 5 stars...

    This is one of our new fav places. Kelly was already our favorite bartender, plus the food and vibe are great! The brunches on Easter and Mother’s day were awesome, the dinner menu is amazing, and it’s also perfect to hit for a cocktail and dessert. Service is perfect, food is divine, and the atmosphere is great.

    We walked in they immediately asked us if we have a reservation. We say no, the host says well there are no booths available. Mind you there are like 4 booths and a ton of unoccupied tables. We also didn’t ask for a booth. It was kind of strange. Our server was fine. We ordered a beer and the bone marrow. After experiencing the atmosphere we decided not to put in an order for dinner and go somewhere else. This place is over hyped, over priced and just not what others had described to me. Disappointed to say the least.

    Nestled in the heart of Albuquerque, the 3128 Social House is a hidden gem that will undoubtedly leave your taste buds dancing with delight. Having recently savored their renowned short rib entree, I can confidently say that this dining experience is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting ambiance. The interior exudes a modern yet cozy charm, with dimmed lights casting a soothing glow that set the stage for a memorable culinary journey. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the Short Rib Entree! Tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor, this dish is a true masterpiece. The short ribs were braised to perfection, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth sensation that left me yearning for more. Each bite was an explosion of rich, savory goodness, accompanied by a delightful hint of smokiness that elevated the entire experience. The chef's culinary prowess was evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. The short rib was flawlessly seasoned, achieving a perfect balance of herbs and spices that complemented the dish's natural flavors without overpowering them. Served atop a bed of velvety mashed potatoes, and surrounded by a medley of fresh, seasonal vegetables, each element of the plate complemented one another in harmony. The presentation was equally captivating, a true work of art on the plate. The vibrant colors and careful arrangement showcased the kitchen's commitment to excellence and attention to detail. Beyond the remarkable flavors and artistic presentation, what truly sets 3128 Social House apart is their dedication to using locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. This commitment to the community and the environment resonated deeply with me, adding an extra layer of appreciation to the dining experience. The service was impeccable, with the staff exuding warmth and knowledge about the menu. The server recommended the perfect wine pairing to accompany the short rib, enhancing the overall experience and leaving me with a satisfied palate. In conclusion, 3128 Social House is a must-visit culinary destination in Albuquerque. Their short rib entree is a culinary masterpiece that showcases the chef's skill and passion for gastronomy. With every aspect carefully considered, from the ambiance to the locally sourced ingredients, this restaurant is a testament to the true artistry of fine dining. Treat yourself to an unforgettable gastronomic journey and indulge in the divine flavors of their short rib entree - you won't be disappointed!

    Saw this on Instagram and was highly intrigued. Made a reservation for 8pm the morning of. We would have preferred a booth, but we decided on a table since it was all that was available and it was our first time and we weren’t sure what the set up was like. We arrive a few minutes late and got seated a few minutes later. Our table was more than disappointing. It was a corner table that seated 4. This corner table felt like we were in a time out. It was not pleasant for a couple on a date night. We were quite upset but decided to order just drinks. I do have to say the bijou bijou drink tasted wonderful besides it being $15 and smaller than a martini glass. I think we were just highly disappointed with our table. As a suggestion I think this corner should sit a cute couch and even a bookshelf and make it a cozy corner rather than a table. If it stays a table then maybe keep it for a party of 4. We didn’t try any food like we had planned but hopefully if we come back we are seated in a better area and can experience it differently.

    Fantastic dinner! We got the ceviche, corn chowder, pappardelle with ham, and the date cake. Natalie was great and made the best recommendations. Highly recommend.

    This place was incredible! Legitimately one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We didn’t realize until the end but apparently they were a little short staffed and the owner was the one serving us, which was awesome because we got to learn a bit about their background. Guy was super nice and even got to meet the chef! Everything was great but the beef marrow (which I’ve never had anything like that) and the short ribs were incredible! Awesome place for a date or any kind of upscale meal with an awesome atmosphere and even better food. 10/10, thanks Dustin it was probably our favorite meal from the entire trip, look forward to visiting again!

    Trendy place in trendy Nob Hill. Portions aren't huge, but the food is really tasty and meticulously presented. I had the catch of the day and the fish was cooked to perfection. As far as service goes, we came during a busy Balloon Fiesta weekend and they accommodated us last minute. For the wait that we had to endure, they treated us to a round of champagne on the house. What a great surprise that was! The atmosphere was nice. They have indoor and heated outdoor options. This place is great for a date or for group dining.

    First and definitely not last visit! Very welcoming and beautiful place to enjoy food and drink. Our server Natahlie was very attentive and knowledgeable with food and drink offerings, explaining preparation and ingredients. The Catch of the Day - Alaskan Halibut was delicious! The Basil Air Cake was a treat! Everything from the Bread & Butter and ending with dessert was a wonderful! The entire experience was amazing starting with personal welcome from Dustin Darnell, owner and greetings from other staff. Highly recommend and we will be back!

    This has now become my favorite dining experience in ABQ! The whole staff was intuitive, and we never wanted for anything - great service! Christian, our server, navigated us through an excellent dining experience, and everything was so good! Best charcuterie board I’ve had. Best short rib too! And the rye old fashioned? So good I had 2! To end the meal, the panna cotta was unique and tasty- honeycomb?! What?! Loved it. I will definitely be back and bringing people to share this dining experience. Also loved the ambiance. Overall- what a great night out!

    We walked in not expecting much. But as I left, it reminded me of what good food and service was about. We lost that with the Pandemic, but this spot is making it happen. Best place to drink and eat on Knob Hill. Our server, Natahlie and the entire crew was the best! We told her how much we enjoyed the experience. You really can’t find that kind of service in NM. We will be back again and again. Ask for Tiger Lily.

    I've been wanting to try this place ever since I heard about them opening. I finally came here to celebrate a belated birthday and this restaurant exceeded our expectations and then some. Our server (wish i would have gotten his name) was just the sweetest and so attentive to our culinary needs. Every last one of our dishes were exceptional and beyond flavorful with so much thought and effort put into each item. The cherry on top was how the chef and owner Joe took time to apologize about the wait for the food (we hadn't even notice) and ask us about our experience. We were pleasantly surprised that a fellow Californian has brought their culinary experience and expertise to Nob Hill. My family and I will definitely be back to the support this restaurant in addition to their sister restaurant next door called Gather. *Chefs Kiss* to an overall great experience.

    Our new local favorite. 10/10! Casual yet elevated atmosphere. Great service (thanks to our waiter Aydon!) We had the Brown Derby and Tom Collins cocktails. Refreshing and delicious! Could not recommend the panisse fritter starter more. Very unique and my personal fav of the night! We also had the bison bone marrow. It was our first time trying bone marrow and it did not disappoint. We finished off with the apple bread pudding - the side of miso gelato was so tasty! Thanks for having us! We will be back many times to come!

    This was amazing. I can't say enough wonderful things about it! And we haven't even gone to the main dining area yet ... We basically plowed through half of the food menu and will be back very soon to try the other half. I would give extra stars for the "Hamachos" alone. You won't be disappointed.

    A few months late but I wanted a leave a 5 star review! My bridal shower was hosted here and it was just so amazing. The vibe the FOOD & DRINKS! I would definitely recommend for small get togethers, girls night out, or even to go hang and drink! Don’t have a lot of pic but this menu was so cute and delicious

    This place was such a vibe! I loved the set up which was elegant but not overly pretentious like other restaurants. My husband and I booked reservations online and we were immediately seated. I had the scallops and paloma and my husband had the burger and a beer which was amazing!! Then finished it off with the poached pear which was to die for. I can’t wait to come back with family and friends. Also our waiter was super cool and knowledgeable of all the food and drink choices.
