Okay, I have to say I cannot believe that so many places rank higher than JJ101, particularly all the chain restaurants. This has easily been my best dining experience in this city. I called to make reservations on a Thursday and was able to book spots at the shared table. I spoke to a live person, btw. With one call.... More

My friend's birthday dinner was fabulous. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. Small space and you can see the spotless kitchen. Unusual dishes from starters to dessert. The buffalo steak was incredible.

Let me start by telling that if you are vegetarian this is not the place where you want to be. My husband and I treated ourselves to dinner on our anniversary to JJ101, hoping for a great experience. What a disappointment. I ordered her version of devil eggs, which tasted only like horseradish/ Dijon mustard with egg yolk texture. So... More

Went in expecting or hoping for a great experience. But... The choices for a vegetarian are slim to none the one main dish that was roasted vegetables with a Harissa coating on them that overpowered the dish. I enjoy a spice but when that is all you taste something is wrong. As an appetizer we tried the reviled egg and... More

What a treat for Albuquerque!! Last Friday night was my husband's and my first time dining at JJ101. It far exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was romantic and the food was eye-catching, unique and very tasty. WE had the monk eggs and bay scallop/brussel sprouts as our appetizers. And then for our entree we both had the same thing...duck. How... More

My husband and I treated ourselves to dinner at Jennifer James 101 last night and were delighted with the food, atmosphere, and service! Our dinner was delicious, fresh, well-prepared and presented and topped-out at $50. What a great bargain! We'll be back!

I have been twice to Jennifer James 101, most recently on Valentines Day. This place is about the food. Everything that we have eaten here has been first rate. The prix fixe Valentines Day dinner was a delicious mexican dinner including mole (in the dark color of Oaxaca) that was subtle and delicious. The chicken was the 2nd joint (thigh)... More

Jennifer James is a terrific creative chef. Four of us ate there the other night and parts of our meals were outstanding and a couple of items missed rather badly. First the good: I ordered the scallop with pork cheeks as appetizer and it was to die for. My dessert, banana ice cream with caramel sauce was also outstanding. My... More

Arriving for our 8:30 Saturday reservation, my wife and I were surprised to find several people waiting to be seated, contrary to our previous experiences. Apparently they were "slammed" that night and, as the entrance area is quite limited, we were forced to stand for nearly a half hour before our table was ready. We were looking forward to the...

I have been waiting for some time to try JJ101 and had the opportunity to go with some business friends this past week. Don't be worried about the "strip mall" locale as the decor is well appointed. As a fellow foodie, I cannot say enough for the freshness, uniqueness, and overall friendly atmosphere...a real joy in ABQ----not to be missed... More
