D. H. LESCOMBES WINERY & BISTRO

Visiting from out of state and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Sam was truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had—attentive, personable, and wonderful with our 2-year-old son. They offer wine samples, which was a great touch, and the food was delicious. I had the pot roast and my husband had the meatloaf, both of which were amazing. Highly recommend! Will def go back when we visit White Sands.

Lovely winery in Alamogordo, a few steps from our hotel. The ambiance is great. We did not have a reservation so we just waited a few minutes and we were then looked after in the best way. I can only eat gluten, lactose, oats, mushrooms, shrimp, citrus free (yeah, a lost cause) and Leslie went above and beyond to ensure that I could have what I wished (French onion soup and country pot roast). My husband was also very pleased. A big thank you to the chefs as well for making my experience so nice.

This place is amazing! The wine, food, and desserts are all excellent. Try the Canyon 5 - it’s sweet and tastes like dark cherries. As someone who doesn’t love wine, I got a glass of this. Our server was Mila and she was the BEST!!!! So personable, kind, and friendly. We really appreciated her hospitality. We will be back!

Food and atmosphere were super nice. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! What was even better though, was our exceptional service from Jazmine. Knowledgeable, fast, professional and super sweet. Loved her!!

Food was exquisite! Wine, bakes brie, pesto pasta!! Super delicious. The staff was very polite and very welcoming. Loved the ambience too.

Everything is great! Food is delicious and wine is amazing. There were also wine samples that were great. Our server was attentive and nice. Thank you, Bee :)

Everything was perfect — food, service, and atmosphere. The wine tasting, friendly staff, and lunch specials made for a great experience. The wine selection was excellent, and all three of us — my husband, my son, and I — were impressed. We’ll definitely visit again when we’re in New Mexico.

This establishment is truly a gem in the desert. 💎 The furnishings are tasteful, and the staff is exceptionally well-trained. 💯👏 The food was delicious, even though my schnitzel was a bit thick and the broccoli was a touch too firm. 🥦Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and the wines were excellent. 🍷 Many thanks to Bailey for making it a perfect experience. 💖 As a suggestion, upgrade the salt and pepper to a mill. 🧂

Have always had a great meal and the service is genuine. Staff is always upbeat and very friendly. The meals and respect they gave Veteran's on Veterans Day was very heart warming! I enjoy the changes that they make periodontally to the menu. Keep up the good work!

Delicious! We don't drink wine but we still enjoy the food, it's excellent! Also enjoy the live music!

Highly recommend this spot! Food was on point, with no critiques. For our app, we got the Brussels sprouts- they had some type of sweet sauce and bacon, it was good. I got the Schnitzel- one of the best I've had, very crispy and flavorful! Wife got the steak salad- medium, said it was good with no complaints. Service was a little slow, but our server was the bartender and she was attentive. Her old fashioned- recommend! The restaurant is also a winery, so the vibe is very chill and quiet. Highly recommend this spot!

Very good meal after visiting the White Sands National Park. I had a glass of their wine and it was very good and reasonable. The steak was good as was the fish and chips.

First time in New Mexico. Had this place last night as we wanted a late night snack. Back again today everything was amazing! From the brie with toasted almonds and honey appetizer, calamari with those two delicious dipping sauces, salad was delicious pecan dressing was amazing. Everything is really good in this place and our server Monty provided First Class service for us at our table of eight. Crème brûlée and chocolate tart cake was delicious as well.

Tonight's trip was by myself. I sat at the bar and was promptly greeted as always. I ordered my favorite muscat canelli and a signature nosh. The bar staff are always so accommodating and such a pleasure to be around. It was a quiet evening but so nice and really mellow. This restaurant is really a local gem!

The best restaurant in town. 5 stars for food, service, and atmosphere. Exceptional wine list. Our server, Dino was outstanding. The pot roast and burrata cheese chicken were fabulous. The Creme Brule was prepared to perfection.

We wish we'd discovered this place on our first night in Alamogordo instead of our last! We travel with a pup and they set us up on the patio which was so pleasant and cool, so nicely decorated with plants and flowers. The wait staff brought a water bowl for the pup and the manager stopped by offering a dog treat during our visit. The wines were delicious and all the food prepared with excellence.

Service was wonderful. Our waitress was busy but was still very attentive. Food was delicious, my only note was the size of chicken added the pasta. It was very small. Menu is written in a confusing manner regarding the add ons. So for our small chicken it was $5 not $3. Please make note of that when coming here. Establishment is well designed and lovely otherwise.

Excellent and attentive service. Our waitress, Payton was amazing. She checked on us regularly through our meal. The restruant is well lite and very comfortable. The background music is loud enough to enjoy but does not necessitate raising your voice to talk. The tables are not crowded. Our food was good. We started with the bacon wrapped shrimp. The jalapeño bacon added a nice bite to the shrimp which were succulent. The meat loaf came out hot with fire. It was both sweet and spicy. The pot roast was tender. The mashed potatoes were buttery. The portions were generous. Overall it was a great dining experience.

Nice service, decent food. Flavor was good, steak was way over cooked, baked potatoes was so cold the cheese in it didn't even melt.

Dined here based on Yelp reviews, it did not disappoint. Classy yet casual bistro vibe, Mykala our waiter was superb as was rest of the staff/team! The presentation was stunning and the taste amazing. A dining experience I will remember and if I lived near I would visit often

I was really really surprised that Alamogordo has a place like D.H. Lescombes Winery and Bistro. I was very happy to come eat here. They have a great selection of food and dinner beverages. The service was truly on point and the staff is very accommodating and friendly. Alamogordo truly needed a classy place like Lescombes and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're not in ALAMOGORDO! If you want to get away from feeling stuck in a town that hasn't evolved in 50 years...come enjoy the food, service and atmosphere at Lescombes!

We loved our dinner here - delicious food during our trip to White Sands. Our server Dino The Vino was so attentive and offered us a complimentary wine sampler and warm (fresh-baked) bread & butter! Highly recommend the beet & pecan salad as well as the New Mexico pasta

We weren't sure what to expect when we discovered this restaurant a block from our hotel but boy are we glad we did! I mean, Alamogordo doesn't seem like the town that would have a winery with a tasting room and restaurant but we try not to judge a town by location. We walked down the street from our hotel and entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly hostess who took us to our table. My wife and I were traveling with a friend who is quite a wine connoisseur, so we asked him to look over the wine list and he was impressed. They can serve small tasting samples of wine for a small cost as well as flights of 3 wines from their main wine list. We all had samples and then it got serious. Our friend asked for a Syrah and after much searching, sadly they told us they had run out. So, our friend chose another, a Cabernet from their Reserve list. The server brought it and poured it into the decanter to breath a bit. I wanted an appetizer so ordered the humus and goat cheese plate that also included olives, marinated artichoke hearts and some cucumber slices and grapes as well as some small pita bread pieces to spread on; all very nice indeed! My wife and our friend had the beet salad which was a lively mix of field greens, gold and red beets as well as some roast parsnip shavings. Our entrees were worth the wait! I had the salmon and my wife had the pork schnitzel, both were very good indeed. The restaurant is super clean and nicely lit with small spot light track lights. Lots of interesting art on the walls and the wine tasting area looks like a nice place to sit and taste or order a glass of your choice of wines. There surely isn't any better place to have dinner than here in Alamogordo.

Had the shrimp and bacon app. A bowl of red chili and Gouda soup. Schnitzel and some wine. Wine was great. Everything was pretty good overall. Needed a tad bit of salt but best spot in area so far. Service was great. Nice big open restaurant. Free tasting after we ate dinner. Saw bar keep walking by with a tray. Changed them out and finally made it to us. Quite pleasant. Bought a bottle to take back home.

The service was A+. Having such an attentive server could have forgiven a bad meal - but the food was incredible! Seriously burrata berry salad with chicken was INSANE! We had the meatballs and the steak salad too. Loved it all. They also service fancy infused ice tea.

Excellent service from our peppy bartender doing double duty as a server. We started with a taste of a featured wine. It is the largest winery in the state. Then we had two recommended dishes that didn't disappoint! The meatloaf had great flavor and the New Mexico pasta had just the right amount of heat. The ambiance was great and the music was the perfect volume to chat. Highly recommend!

Always a great experience, whether you come with family, friends, or by yourself. The wine tastings are excellent yet well priced, the food is gourmet and the recommended wine pairings match very well. Got the meatloaf with the Riesling this time (not even a fan of sweet white wine) and was surprised by how great the pairing was. One of the best parts - if you've been they'll remember you and if you're new you'll still get the same friendly service.

As the saying goes, 'All's well that ends well.!!' We had initially canceled our dinner reservations which eh had booked few weeks ahead, as time slipped away at White Sands NP. Despite this, we decided to visit the winery and enjoyed a complimentary wine tasting. The port wine was exceptional, leading us to purchase three combo boxes. While there, we inquired about the possibility of dining despite our earlier cancellation. To our delight, the hostess graciously accommodated us. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and wine, making it a memorable evening for our whole party... The pictures speak for themselves!!! The appetizers and deserts were also great!.. I liked the way they presented the actual prepared desserts to choose from so that you could see what you were getting :-)

We found this place doing a quick google search on our way up to Ruidoso. The reviews were accurate. This place was a great find and good affordable food. The inside was nicely decorated in holiday decor. They have an array of wine options based on their winery. The service was great and we were satisfied with our 3 entrees. The food was hot and portion sizes were reasonable. They also offered military discount. Our family of 3 ate for less than $60. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the area.

A great find in the sleepy city of Alamogordo! We came here in the afternoon as a lunch break from white sands and found this gem. Lescombes is the largest winery in the state and has a kicking restaurant. The ambiance was great, the indoor decor had several great touch including barrel wood seats, wine glass shaped door handles, etc. Their lunch specials were great, including two pastas for 13 or other main entrees for that price at our visit. Wlim addition to letting us taste their seasonal wiwhite wine, we started off with a wine cocktail which was well priced and very tasty. We ordered the pasta marinara and pistachio pesto, both were delicious and flavorful. Would recommend adding protein to both as portions were expected a bit small (lunch deal) but it filled both of us up! For dessert, they brought around a dessert plate with each offering visible, smart way to get us to commit to a dessert! We got the cheesecake bites which I have to say were a bit dry but still edible. Other than the dessert stumble, we still really loved our lunch dining here for a great price. Highly recommended, we'll be back for the Mongolian beef which looked bomb on our neighbor's table

My favorite restaurant in Alamogordo. My family and myself had a wonderful time. From the amazing service to the delicious food, everything was on point! The mussels were absolutely delicious, the Magnolias beef had great flavor and the Pasta New Mexico was a crowd pleaser. The Baked Brie is ohhh so delicious and sweet, it's one of my favorites. The French onion soup was hearty, filling, and cheesy, so yummy. We all had a taste of each other's entrees and all of them were equally delightful. We also had their wine flights and enjoyed all of their wines, from dry to sweet I enjoyed all the ones I sampled, I will definitely be buying some bottles to enjoy at home. This restaurant is absolutely amazing, I enjoy the atmosphere and cleanliness, the attention to detail from the food to the booth seatings which are made of wine barrels. This place is a WIN. Give this place a try, it will be perfect for anything from date night to just having dinner with your family. It is kid friendly. I will frequent this restaurant time and time again. Farewell Chili's, Applebees, and Carinos. For our family of 4, the bill was comparable to eating at any of those restaurants, minus the wine flight.

Lesliee was the sweetest server, all of the wine was wonderful and the food was SO GOOD, especially the potstickers. We were super impressed with this restaurant and we will definitely be back next time we are in Alamogordo!

Our local motel manager recommended this place--wow. Wait listed so we just sat at the bar with B****** serving us. Loved the Gewürztraminer so much that we ordered three bottles for latter. The Brut didn't really deliver on the bubbles but nevermind. Started with the French onion soup which has a good beef stock base and chopped onions. The chicken salad was delicious. Love this place!

Fantastic food, service, everything. Went with a large party and everyone was very happy with the food and drinks. Our server did a great job recommending wine to each persons taste. The wine was so fantastic I ordered three bottles to go. Our server helped pick out a bottle as a gift for a friend with very specific tastes and he ended up loving it. Highly recommend if you are in the area or visiting white sands as we were.

Ambiance - 5/5 Upscale and clean. Feels like a top class establishment that would be at home in any major city. Service - 5/5 Service with a genuine smile and desire for guests to have a good visit. Extra fresh bread at no charge without even asking. Pecan Chicken - 5/5 Perfectly breaded, the savory pecan crust compliments the chicken cutlet very well. This is now my go-to stop in Alamogordo.

The DH Lescombes Winery in Alamogordo was fantastic! We came at a busy time for Sunday lunch and were able to sit at the bar immediately. Our bartender was very personable and helped us find the best wine for our tastes: the limited release Syrah. The food is also fantastic, and we both enjoyed our meals of the pecan crusted chicken and the burger. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were on point! We had the creme brulee for dessert and a taste of the kivah, which was delicious. Great meal and atmosphere overall and we'll definitely try locations in ABQ.

Great food and definitely friendly service... Best place in town .... First class all the way

Several people in Alamogordo recommended this spot for dinner. Our last night in town we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. It was delicious. We had a bit of a wait, but it wasn't bad. We were seated at a table and our server Emma was really friendly, sweet and efficient, and she offered some great recommendations. We ordered our wine, and then I started with a cup of the Gouda soup. It was interesting and I had to give it a try. It was absolutely delicious. The soup was tomato based with melted gouda cheese, which gave it a little bit of a nutty and smoky flavor. Mr. B went with the fish and chips with a glass of Merlot from Lescombes winery. The fish was tender, flaky and not greasy as you sometimes get with fish and chips. I chose the Pistachio Pesto Pasta and a glass of Lescombes Heritage Pinot Gris. The pasta was nutty, creamy and cooked perfectly. The wine was the recommended pairing and it was excellent. The restaurant has its own parking lot, making parking simple. I understand why so many locals recommended it to us, it truly was a fabulous meal and experience.

The appetizer- hummus and lavender honey feta was delicious, even though the pita was dry. I broke off the ends of the pita and it was fine. My husband ordered the schnitzel. Sadly it was too breaded and very dry. The mushroom sauce was good though. I feel for the servers as it is clear they are being asked to push wine sales and desserts.

Delicious food overall 4.5 stars. Ordered the steak and frites... it was delicious! My medium rare was a little more done than I like but still very tasty. The meatloaf looked amazing and the menu has something for everyone! Such a cute place also tried Cabernet which I enjoyed and the Pinot Grigio was also very smooth... I'll be back again and this is my go to Restaurant when I in town for work!... Service was quick and accommodating; hosts were okay and seated guests

Our party of 7 enjoyed our lunch there. We had a bottle of Brut Champagne and 2 appetizers before and service was prompt and the food good. Everyone ordered something different for lunch from fish & chips to hamburger and salads and all was enjoyed. We had one handicap person and they were very accommodating. I will for sure go back

Love eating lunch there when we are in Alamogordo. They have lunch specials from 11:00 to 3:00. Great food and wine and service!!! Beautiful restaurant and very friendly service!! Our favorite!!!

This place was located very close to our Boyle which was a welcomed site since we had driven 10.5 hours. There was something for everyone and they had it to go! I would have loved to eat in the actual restaurant as it had a very cute lobby and bar, and the entire restaurant had a warm and welcoming vibe. The food was exactly what we needed. Delicious with hearty portions! Highly recommend the Julian salad, big nosh, and chicken tenders for the kids. We got it all to go too, but I wish we had time to sit in such a cute place to enjoy with a glass of wine.

Pleasantly surprised on my visit! I sat at the bar and the bar tender was very attentive and knowledgeable regarding their menu. I had a glass of wine, (from their winery) a side salad, French onion soup and an order of meatballs! Everything was delicious! I would go back if I'm traveling through Alamogordo!

I am still sitting in the parking lot after having an amazing dinner writing this review. Someone recommended this restaurant to me. I was almost about to go to a nearby chain restaurant.... But after reading the reviews and looking over the menu, I decided to give this restaurant a try. I'm so glad I did first I'm not a wine drinker, but I went ahead and tried the two sample wines the waitress brought to me. They were good and I ended up ordering the black Muscat. This menu amazed me.... I'm somewhat of a picky eater. However, when I read all of the entree's there were only two things on the menu that I would never have ordered,(which happens to be the fish dishes). Everything else looked and sounded delicious. I started with the bacon wrapped shrimp... soooo good. Then the French onion soup.... Again sooo good. I ended up choosing the schnitzel.... Just as wonderful.... But by then I was already getting very full.... But saved enough room for dessert.... The crème brûlée.... The best ending to a fabulous dinner. I'll make it a point to come back over the mountains just so I can come eat here again. The service was extremely good. I'm one of those who don't tip a lot based on bill total.... (That is a discussion for another day)...... but I was so impressed that I left the waitress more than a 20% tip.... And for me that is saying a lot.

The service is always top notch . They have a wonderfully diverse menu. They even let me order from the children's menu when I've just finished one of my procedures at the hospital. The steak frites were amazing! And creating my own pasta bowl is also welcome.

Gluten free deliciousness happiness. Generous portions. Nosh charcuterie was tasty and the presentation was spectacular, Pot roast was beefy delicious generously plated on homestyle smashed potatoes, Roasted Beet salad is delicious and unforgettable. Wine flight and bottle aeration table service was the best! Ema our service/ waitress gave us the best first impression of the winery and food.

Great Food Great Service and Great Atmosphere! A gem in the desert Just remind the manager to turn on some nice background music

I love this restaurant the service, food, & atmosphere is great whoops did I forget to mention the wine is good too. I have tried the following: Pasta New Mexico (had a kick to it which i liked, heat may vary depending on the chili) Fish and chips (really good aioli) Country pot roast (great flavor would like to see more of that sauce on the meat too) Bistro burger (good) Steakhouse salad (good dressing) Rainbow trout ( good) Honestly all have been very good. The service is great and really good friendly staff. I like the fact they have new mexico beer. Good wine selection i had their Merlot and chenin blanc . I will definitely be coming back.

I have dined at a lot of great restaurants. However, I have never had better service than what I received last night. Sam was our server. He was very attentive and friendly. He gave excellent recommendations on both wine and menu selections. Hands down, this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.

In for a late Sunday dinner, great food and service. Wines were exceptional. Our waitress Mckayla took care of us and did a fantastic job! If you are in the area, stop in for great food and service!

We visited this restaurant very early (before 5pm) on a Thursday afternoon during spring break. Even that early, there were tons of patrons. We were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant was modern and very clean. The server brought us bread and herb/garlic butter and offered us a sample of their special wine. Food was ordered and came out pretty fast. I ordered the fish and chip. One of the filets was a tiny bit overcooked, but it did not disappoint. I do prefer malt vinegar with my fish and chips (I did not ask if it was available) but the homemade tartar sauce was really good. Wife ordered the Pasta New Mexico. It had quite the kick and was delicious. The kids shared the steak and fries. They both loved it. We were offered dessert and chose not to participate :) The three dishes and two glasses of wine plus a generous tip was $75 Highly recommended, must visit.

This place is the best part of Alamogordo. Period. Absolutely delicious food (I had the Isabelle Chicken Salad for lunch and it was probably the best I've ever had), and the wine is divine. The atmosphere is beautiful - clean, modern, gorgeous. I just can't say enough good stuff about this place.

The service was excellent. The food was phenomenal and the ambience tied it all together. An unexpected surprise in Alamogordo New Mexico.

Stopped by here while visiting Alamogordo with my family. They accommodated our party of 8 without a reservation on a Thursday evening. Immediately after sitting down, our waitress approached us and asked if we wanted to try the Rose. It was so good we ended up getting an entire bottle of it! To start off we ordered the jalapeno bacon wrapped shrimp the the calamari. Both dishes were amazing! They lasted only a couple of minutes on the table. For my entrée I ordered the pasta new mexico. This pasta was amazing! The hatch green chilis + sundried tomato combo was perfection. This dish was also huge so half of it ended up serving as a midnight snack later throughout the day LOL. Everyone in my party ended up loving their entrees as well. They had a lot of dessert options so we of course had to try them. I had the Ghirardelli Port Brownie. WOW! So warm, chocolaty, and delicious and topped with the most delicious vanilla ice cream on top. Definitely ended the meal perfectly. I recommend this place to anyone in Alamogordo!

My notoriously difficult to please husband gives this a resounding 5 stars. We sampled their wine in Las Cruces at the bar and enjoyed their selection of reds so much we made a point to stop here for lunch in Alamogordo. Let me play you the hits: - "I haven't tried one I wouldn't buy a bottle of" (speaking to the 7 wines sampled) - The waffle sweet potato fries must be seasoned with just salt and pepper but it sticks so well and is the best sweet potato fry I've ever had. - The Tuscan chicken bread was perfectly toasted with blistered tomatoes and perfectly melted mozzarella. All the while, the pistachio came through in the pesto. - The fried goat cheese salad was out of this world. The goat cheese tasted great - sweet with a little funk - and the friedness balanced out some tartness. - Pro Tip: get the pecan vinegerette on your salad! - Not only was the service speedy and personable, the chef put a smiley face in our creme brulee. The green chile mac and cheese had an amazing smoked flavor. After the rest of this amazing experience I'll forgive them that the cheese was overshadowed and didn't add much. Do yourself a favor and stop by now.

Everything was a treat. We visited on vacation. We had a flight of wine, chicken parm, pecan chicken, chicken salad and the hummus appetizer.
