D. H. LESCOMBES WINERY & BISTRO - Bistro in Alamogordo - 261 Panorama Blvd, USA

Grabbed dinner here on our way through Alamogordo. Absolutely phenomenal food - the pecan pesto pasta and southwest meatloaf were delicious and we'd definitely order them again. The prices were right and the portions were generous. Will definitely come back next time we're in the area!

Passing through, recommended by staff at the Hampton Inn. Numerous pasta dishes, steak, fish and some other offerings. It was hard to choose! Selected the New Mexico chicken pasta with a house salad. It was great to say the least. Server was more than attentive and the manager stopped by twice just to check on us. Good portions, great food, highly recommend!

We decided to have dinner here because it seems to be the nicest place at in town and my husband and I are celebrating my birthday and 2 year anniversary. We were sitting quite quickly even though we didn’t have a reservation. We did wait a little while before meeting our waiter, but they seemed busy so we were patient. I ordered wine, we gave the waiter our order, and a while later, we finally got some bread. Yes, there was a lot of waiting, BUT the manager, Tiffany, was amazing! She kept checking on us and kept apologizing for the long wait. We didn’t realize that we’d been there for almost two hours, but Tiffany was so sweet and attentive that it didn’t bother us. Before we left, we thanked her for her hospitality, especially because we’re celebrating our birthday and anniversary. After hearing this, she refused to let us leave without taking some dessert. Then, she gave us some tips of places we should visit in the area. Wow! It’s amazing how a customer oriented person can turn , what could have been a very bad experience, into a great evening. Thank you, Tiffany! By the way, I ordered the salmon with green beans and peppers, and potatoes and it was seasoned perfectly and delicious! My husband’s schnitzel wasn’t as good, but it’s okay. We’d still come back.

Discovered this very popular restaurant and were delightfully pleased with the atmosphere, food and ambience. Went on a Friday night without reservations but was able to get a nice booth within 15 minutes. Great selection of wines, recommended pairings with our grilled salmon dinners. Both were cooked perfectly whether medium rare or medium well. Fresh bread was devine as were the green beans and white rice. Prices were very reasonable. We had a bottle of their Semellon, delightful! They do offer a Beyond Burger substitution for their signature beef burger, but that's about the extent of vegan options. Lots of free parking as well as 5 handicap spots. Descombes is wheelchair accessible, too. Great find! You won't be disappointed.

Food was great, probably 8/10 in my opinion. They also suggest pairing your food with different kinds of wine. If you like tasting wine, this would be a good option.

The food and wine were very good, though protions were a bit small for the price. We ate out on the patio, and pretty sure we were forgotten about for the most part. Our table was dirty when we sat down. While the server was nice, our plates were never cleared and our drink never refilled. He never even checked if our food was okay until we had finished our dinner. This type of service seems to be a running trend in Alamogordo. Though I expected better service from this bistro than we got at Dennys, it was pretty much the same.

We called the restaurant to get a reservation for a Friday night, and even though the website said they had no availability, they were able to seat us! The food was pretty good, the waiter was very nice and informative. I had the Pasta New Mexico. It wasn't as spicy as I was expecting, and I was a little surprised that the red pepper flakes were just Sprinkled on top of the prepared dish, they weren't cooked into it. While we were there half the lights unexpectedly cut out, which was slightly alarming but overall it was a good experience, and I would recommend this place to anyone passing though.

Super relaxing atmosphere, we were too hungry so we didn’t take pictures of mija’s Spicy Shrimp Carbonara, my wife’s delicious burger and my Pasta New Mexico. But we will post desert pictures.
