Rough-hewn wood planks lead you into this nautically themed steak and seafood restaurant, which doesn’t start seating for dinner until 5pm. Luckily, happy hour begins at 4pm. Have a Lady Godiva hot cocktail and a baker's dozen of topless oysters in the bar while you wait. Then dive into creamy clam chowder, butter-sweet Australian lobster tail and Ranchero center-cut top sirloin. There's plenty of key lime pie in the icebox and Phil Collins on the speakers.

Toltec Brewing
There are some breweries in Albuquerque with excellent food, but only one can claim a James Beard Award. Chef David Ruiz of Toltec Brewing (formerly of Pueblo Harvest Cafe) entered a custom burger in the James Beard Foundation’s Blended Burger Project—a competition that urged chefs to create a burger that blended meat with mushrooms for a healthier alternative.
