Message from the Business
Flash back to the long gone days of the Prohibition Era. Often cloaked behind the guise of a restaurant, the ever so popular "speakeasy" was a place where one could imbibe in their favorite alcoholic beverage while enjoying the posh atmosphere, live entertainment, and elegant food. Vernon's Hidden Valley Steakhouse, "thus far one of Albuquerque's best kept secrets," according to Gil Garduno local restaurant critic, brings back the appeal and ambiance of the long gone speakeasy in new world splendor. Unassuming and hidden behind a door through Los Ranchos Liquors, Vernon's boasts a cozy and intimate dining area with slick black diamond plaster walls, rich red planked ceilings, and elegant music. The environment is worth the adventure itself. However, the food is most notable. According to Gil, "Vernon's has established itself as a popular dining destination among those in the know."

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2009The knock 3 times and ask for Joe gimmick to enter the restaurant is silly and dumb. Our waiter was patronizing and felt he had to instruct us on the experience of fine dining. My $55 dry aged T-Bone had OK flavor but was... (more)
