FAQs

Do we need reservations?

As our dining room is an intimate ten tables, we do very strongly recommend reservations. Of course, there will be times when tables become available outside of a reservation, so we recommend calling if you are looking for a last-minute table. You can book your table by calling (575.240.4251), emailing (hello@suchnessdiningroom.com) or via our Reservations page.

Do you have outdoor dining?

Our outdoor dining tables are available at the discretion of management (dependent on weather, staffing, etc). We only reserve our indoor tables.

Can we bring our own bottle of wine?

New Mexico liquor law does not allow for outside beverages to be consumed on the premises. We currently offer a curated menu of wine, beer, and spirit-free options.

Do you have parking?

We have a parking lot that is shared with neighboring tenants. There is also parking available in a lot across the street as well as a nearby public lot.

Why is your menu on a QR code?

Our menu lives on our website and is updated frequently. To access it while dining at with us you can either visit www.suchnessdiningroom.com/menu on your phone’s browser or use the QR code at your table to link you directly (guest wifi is available). Our restaurant is small — with virtually no office or storage space to allow us to produce printed menus on a high level, and paper menus can be very wasteful. The less time we devote to jammed printers and formatting headaches, the more we can focus on your overall dining experience beyond a piece of paper. With that said, we do have a back-up for those who are unable to access the online menu while at the restaurant.

Are dogs permitted at the restaurant?

While we love our dogs - we do follow the regulations outlined by ADA and the New Mexico Environmental Department. Service animals are defined as dogs that are trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Emotional Support Animals, including dogs and other animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support, do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. Restaurants are only allowed to accept true service animals. Emotional support animals do not have the same protections as service animals. Pets and emotional support animals are not permitted inside the restaurant or in our outdoor dining area.

We do not ask for certification or proof of your dog’s training status, however we can ask if your service animal is required due to a disability and what task or work is the animal trained to perform.
