The food was excellent and well presented on the plates. The salads were beautiful and delicious, we had the beet salad, grilled Romain and wedge. All three could be split between 2 people. We ordered the lamb, lobster ravioli and the halibut. All delicious and creativity prepared. There was no room for dessert! Our waiter was accommodating and professional. Overall a wonderful experience.

Our party of four had a wonderful experience today for lunch. Our server was timely, knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. We each had something different, yet delicious. The new winter soup -the chicken one - was fantastic!

GREAT food with a nice wine pairing and awesome service! I highly recommend the lobster bisque. Definitely a great neighborhood restaurant for either a nice meal out, including date nights and special occasions, or just to get out of the house and avoid cooking.

We used the BOGO Free email for our dinner. I had the salmon with baked potato and calabacitas while my partner had enchiladas with a relleno and fried egg. We shared the guac. He enjoyed his margarita while I sipped my delicious Sauvignon Blanc. The room was lovely and warm by the fire. Our waiter was very attentive which made our dinner and time at El Pinto all the nicer! Thank you for hiring such great staff. It's one reason we continue to go to El Pinto coupon or not. We highly recommend.

The usual New Mexico plates are way beyond what’s available in town at the usual suspects and the prices are surprising reasonable. One of our favorite places!

A lovely evening. We were seated near a VERY loud table, and Trinity - our waitperson - moved us and provided excellent service all evening long. I highly recommend Scalo and will be returning.
