Isn't Rosa's in the Fashion Square shopping center at San Mateo and Lomas--where Rattlesteaks and Chez Andre used to be?

I agree with all the above suggestions and would add-- Yanni's (Greek) on Central, Scarpa's (brick-oven pizza) on San Mateo and Academy, and Season's in the San Felipe Plaza in Old Town next to the Sheraton. They are new--the food is excellent--the service so-so.

Cafe Broadway, Punjab, and India Kitchen were my faves for everyday kind of dining.  When I wanted something decadent, I went to a French restaurant on Academy next to Trombino's or went to Trombino's.  It's been a while since I've lived in ABQ, so a bit tought to remember.

Ahh- sushi- Minato. Definitely.
