    Arrived on time for 6:30 reservations. Waited maybe 10 minutes before table opened (incredibly busy so very happy had reservations!). Good service. Short wait for bread but it was hot out of the oven. Marinara sauce the best I have had. Liked my eggplant, my nephew apparently loved his chicken parmesan Finished his entree and mine. Would return!.

    High Noon was a perfect choice for our family dinner. It is a fixture of Old Town that provides excellent food, service and atmosphere. I have fond memories of going to High Noon with my parents in the 1970’s and 1980’s. It is wonderful I can now have that same experience with my adult children. When we visit Albuquerque again, High Noon will be on our list of special dining experiences. From the appetizer and cocktails, through excellent entrees and a spectacular flan for dessert, the evening was a hit! Thank you to our wonderful wait staff as well!

    From the moment we walked in we had a good feeling about this spot, we were treated respectfully, and the night was elevated by their kindness, as we selected them for our anniversary dinner. We look forward to dining with them again in the future, as the food and drinks were memorable, but really, the service was exceptional.
