    Salmon with a hot honey glaze
    Laura B.

    Tonight we took the tram to the top of Sandia Peak. It was sunlight going up and dark going down. I had a very tasty double smash burger with hickory smoked bacon, Swiss cheese, and caramelized onions. It came with a heaping order is sweet potato French fries and lettuce, tomato, and red onion slice on the side to add. My friend has a piece of salmon with a tasty BBQ glaze. It was over a bed of mixed veggies and rice. I just had ice tea. We both enjoyed our dinner, coming back down the tram in pitch dark with the twinkling city light below. It was a fun adventure.

    The side salad was pretty good!

    Myself, Mom and my partner were in town for Mother's Day and thought a trip up the mountain would be nice. We rode the tram up with plans to eat at the restaurant. The wait was about 30 minutes so we grabbed some drinks from the bar and took in the sun outside. It's a spectacular view from the top. It's been so long since I came up here and don't even remember if there was a restaurant before. It was the 60th anniversary of the tram so the entire restaurant was set up for casual dining. Once seated, we were bummed we didn't get a window. BUT, there was a table by the window available. I was told it was for somebody before us. Huh? Where are they? I hate to be that person, but I don't think that was the case. I kept my eye on that table and was going to cause a scene, but my partner told me to let it go. Anyway, the food was delicious. My partner had a side salad and a ceviche dish. She loved it. I had a side of tempura veggies (I loved tempura veggies and the mushroom was chefs kiss), some Santa Fe spring rolls. Mom had a burger and fries. It was a good meal and a nice area to chill. The bar was packed with hikers who were most likely post-hike and filling up on snacks and beer. That would be me if I lived here. It was a nice day overall. The tram ride, the views, the meal, etc.

    We took the tram up, which was really fun! Did a little hike up top then decided to eat before heading back down. There was a bit wait for a table. Option to sit in the little entry hallway or outside, but risk being missed called in. Phone service isn't reliable so if you Wander too far you may miss your table call. Once we were in, we got a table in the corner of the room with glass windows so it was a great view. Food was good. Husband got red chile bbq glazed salmon and I got mediterranean sandwich with hummus. Both were good and filled our stomachs after a nice little hike. A little pricey, but to be expected as I'm sure all the food is hard to travel up there to the resturant. Overall great experience. We are out of owners and we're already up there for the tram ride so why not!

    A top the SANDIA MOUNTAIN, worth the trip Lunch was great, looking at the views, waitstaff did a wonderful job. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait. Worth the time

    Going to Ten 3 is an experience. It's like going to Disney. You don't go there for just the food - but that would be plenty. Let's start at the bottom because this IS an experience. We easily found a parking spot and walked over and stood in the line for the tram. But we wanted to make sure we wouldn't be standing in line too long for our reservation. We ended up checking in across the corridor and they checked us in over there and let us know we would be told when we could go up as the next group on the tram. Oh, it was pouring rain. By the time we got on the tram it had stopped raining. About halfway up to the top the tram stopped. Apparently the other car was experiencing some wind and when one car stops, they both stop. About 30 seconds later we were back under way. About 15 feet from the dock at the top, the wind really started to blow. The tram stopped, the fog surrounded us and it started to rain. Got some cool shots but people were starting to get concerned. We may have been there for 5 minutes which I'm sure felt much longer. The rain stopped and the fog cleared. It took a little longer for the wind to stop blowing before they would let us dock and exit the car. Still a little rain. By the time we got to the restaurant we were right on time. We parked over an hour before our reservation. By the time we sat down the skies partially cleared and the sun was setting. To say that it looked magical still doesn't adequately describe that scene. We got the menus and our waiter, Jennifer answered all of our questions about the menu items. Lots of very new takes on many different meals. It was difficult to decide. That's okay / get the bread and some wine and continue to look and checkout your neighbors. To say we got the NY Strip and the fish is just pedantic. These meals are so special. It is obvious that a lot of thought and care is put into creating the recipe and preparing the actual meal. Every bite was absolutely delicious. It wasn't cheap but it wasn't just food. I think it was worth it. I'll go again for a special occasion!

    It is interesting that from reading another review about not feeling welcomed is the same vibe we got. Came on Labor Day and sat at the bar. The servers at the bar seemed apprehensivqe to wait on until we made uncomfortable eye contact with them. Asked for the Bison burger and they brought us a double cheeseburger. I honestly don't think they knew the difference from beef & bison. Great views from that elevation and nice interior pf decor of the facility. But the service left me with mixed feelings.

    Went for lunch and added our name to the wait list...we were a group of 6 given a 30-45 min wait time frame....totally fine, we walked around but then decided we wanted to order a drink while we wait. They only allow a certain amount of people in at a time for to go orders...food orders and drink orders are done in the same spot; at the time it was by the 2 bartenders that were also running the full bar! It led to an incredibly slow experience with a very long line of people waiting in the hallways to get permission to step in and order. We finally got our table - we were a group of 6 - this really isn't a place for big groups, just small inside. Our waiter did excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was good, my favorite part were the sweet potato fries! They were perfect!! Overall it was a good experience, I don't think they expected it to be as busy as it was, but we did enjoy it!

    Shrimp eggrolls

    Service was wonderful. The view is unbeatable. The food is good. It wasn't anything that would blow your socks off. I ordered the ten 3 margarita, shrimp egg rolls, and the apple cider zeppoles for dessert. Ten 3 margarita: it's a solid spicy margarita. I wanted something unique that I'd never had before. But it tastes like a standard spicy margarita to me even though they use their house made green chili pineapple syrup. Can't say this was anything special. Shrimp eggrolls: I don't see this on the current menu any longer. The shrimp tasted fresh. The pickled purple lettuce below it had a good balance to it. Everything tasted balanced. But very par. Not upset about it but also didn't blow me away. The apple cider zeppoles were the best. They look dense but they're not! They're actually really light and perfectly fried. I would definitely get this one again if it's still on the menu!

    Food was fantastic we had Bone Marrow for an appetizer, prime rib and shrimp for dinner, butter leaf salad, white chocolate cake for desert. The service was top notch. The views were incredible it was fun taking the tram up the mountain

    Chilean sea bass

    Overall a 4 star. We had a really good waiter, service 5 stars, fantastic view- 5 stars. Food- 4 stars. I had the 25 oz prime rib- 4 stars, wife had the Chilean sea bass-3 stars, little fishy taste- not fresh and little too much butter. Drinks and dessert were good- 4 stars.

    We had a date night at Ten 3 the other night! Let me tell you how fantastic the entire experience was.... The tram ride up to the restaurant was breathtaking! The views, all around were gorgeous. In the fine dining restaurant, it was elegant with huge glass windows surrounding the establishment, so anywhere you sat the view was amazing. We ordered 2 dirty martinis and some bread to start with! Three different types of bread made in house with some olive oil and a whipped butter. It was a celebration of our 6 year anniversary so of course we had to get steaks! The filet minion melted in your mouth and was cooked to perfection. The strip was marbled beautifully and it's safe to say our plates were clean at the end of it. The service was top notch! Our waiter answered all our questions and was attentive. Very good experience here! If you are looking for a home run date night.... You have to experience this!!

    We stopped by for a snack at the peak and weren't disappointed with what we tried. The roasted garlic green chili hummus with pita bread was great, they were also able to refill the pita since there was so much dip. I enjoyed the quality of the cappuccino. The mountain time was a bit sour for my taste but my partner enjoyed it. we intended on coming back for more of their offerings but ended up eating at the Homestead cafe, which I would suggest for families.

    While visiting Albuquerque, we had Ten 3 bookmarked and couldn't wait to try it out. I wanted to come here as soon as we got off the tram ride. Upon walking in, I was impressed by the beautiful floor to ceiling windows with 360 view! They weren't very busy so I asked the hostess for a window seat. She took my number and I asked if we could wait at the bar and grab a drink. She said "Sure!" So we did. This is when our experience fell flat! We sat at the bar and waited, waited, waited. No acknowledgement at all from the bartender. We sat for a good ten minutes, awkwardly while she chatted with the couple next to us. It wasn't until another customer sat on my side that she finally gave us a menu. I asked my hubby if it was me or did he feel like she doesn't like us? He agreed and he noticed too how she was friendly and helpful to others. Well, mind you, ten minutes had already gone by and we ordered our drinks and ordered two entrees. I let her know when she gave us our drinks that we were waiting for a window seat and she told us that she would have to close our tab and we would have to order from the server at our table. She apologized and said she should've mentioned that to us in the beginning. I didn't want no trouble, I apologized and told her it's my fault and we'll just stay and eat at the bar. Hindsight, should've closed out our tab! Our food come, hubs got the Munoz Hero w/fries and I got the Chopped salad. The menu says it's a chopped iceberg wedge and it was a quarter piece of an iceberg. Anyways, we sat there and she never refilled our waters or asked if our food was ok? But made sure to ask people around us if they were good. If you don't take that as a clear sign that she DGAF, you'd have to be comatose! It was so awkward and uncomfortable. Our high of being at 10K feet above sea level was quickly deflated! I hate giving negative reviews but this was not acceptable. I called the manager before writing this and she told me she would mention it to her bar staff and apologized. Idk what the bartender's problem was but she did a great job of ruining our visit!

    Ask the Community - TEN 3

    Can you drive to ten 3?

    No. The only access is via the Tramway.

    Is the casual dining kid friendly? Is there a separate kids menu?

    We were there 8/1/2021, last serving of the evening. The building is two sections divided by a open bar. Formal dining to the left (a few seats overlook valley unless cloudy) & casual dining to the right (looks out to back ski slope). Casual dining… 

    I just made a reservation for 8:30pm. Then I noticed the tram stops running at 8pm. Is this place accessible by car? If not, how will I get there (and home)?

    I would recommend you arrive at the tram around 8pm to arrive at your reservation on time. The tram will not take more passengers up past 8pm but it will continue to run so it can bring customers and employees off the mountain. enjoy!

    Is it possible to stop in with my dog while hiking for a beer?

    Not really. They have dog crates at the bottom of the Tram before you go up, so that might work for you

This charming little bistro near the south end of Old Town is elegant, welcoming, and truly a hidden gem. Having convenient on-site parking was a nice bonus, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our server, Christopher, made the evening even more memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He also took the time to recommend several local restaurants and places to visit, which we really appreciated. We started with the mussels, and they were outstanding--fresh, tender, and served in a rich, spicy butter broth with perfectly toasted crusty bread for dipping. My cedar plank salmon was cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and paired with a delicious chorizo risotto. My husband ordered the filet mignon, and after trying a bite, I can understand why he said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. The mushroom risotto and seasonal vegetables were the perfect complement, and the fresh salad with homemade dressing was a great start to the meal. To top off the evening, the staff surprised me with a three-flavor sherbet dessert complete with a birthday candle and a thoughtful personalized birthday card. It was such a sweet touch that made me feel truly celebrated. We couldn't leave without trying the German chocolate cake, and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable dinner. Everything from the food to the service exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu the next time we're in town.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

    Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

After several locals recommended Antiquity, we quickly learned why reservations are so hard to come by. We couldn't secure a table on our actual anniversary, but managed to get one a couple of nights later, and it was well worth the wait. From the outside, Antiquity is understated. Step inside, however, and you're immediately welcomed into a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Old Town Albuquerque. Owner Steve, who has been running the restaurant for nearly three decades, greeted us personally. His passion for hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. While we waited briefly for our table, he took time to learn about us, ask what types of food we enjoy, and offer thoughtful menu recommendations. The restaurant itself is charming and authentic, with an old-world steakhouse feel that perfectly complements the historic New Mexico setting. Many of the tables and booths are arranged to create private, intimate dining spaces, making it an ideal choice for special occasions. We were touched when Steve seated us at what he called the "anniversary table," complete with a small scattering of heart confetti, despite our celebration having technically passed. Service throughout the evening was exceptional. Rather than relying on a single server, the entire staff worked seamlessly together. Water glasses were never less than half full, empty plates disappeared almost instantly, and every member of the team seemed genuinely invested in ensuring guests had a memorable experience. Even the kitchen staff engaged warmly with diners, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it exceeded every expectation. We started with oysters on the half shell, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I upgraded to the special salad, a beautiful combination of greens, apples, strawberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts, bacon, and a creamy mini brie, all brought together with a delicious pear vinaigrette. For our entrée, we chose the Châteaubriand for two. It was expertly prepared, carved tableside, and cooked perfectly. Every recommendation we received was spot-on, and the meal was so impressive that before leaving, I made another reservation for later that week just so I could return and try more of the menu before our trip ended. Antiquity offers beer and wine rather than a full bar, which was perfectly fine for us and fit the restaurant's classic, understated character. This is not an inexpensive dinner, nor should it be. What you're paying for is exceptional food, genuine hospitality, flawless service, and an atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find. Antiquity doesn't simply serve dinner, it creates an experience. If you're visiting Albuquerque and looking for a memorable meal, especially for a special occasion, this restaurant deserves a spot at the very top of your list.

The Not so Great: They were out of the wines we tried to order - all 3 that we tried to order off the menu, none of which were crossed off (dozens were already blacked out). We finally stopped trying to pick what we wanted and just asked for a suggestion out of what they actually had in-stock, that was similar to what we asked for off the menu that they didn't have. We wound up spending more than what we had originally selected, but the wine was good. It's unclear why they're out of 60% or more of the wines on their menu. They said something about "switching over", whatever that means (from what to what?). They should just print a new menu with what they actually have, not play this game where you try to guess what they might not be out of, that's dumb. Even if it's just a couple of pages of wines that they really have, that's better than 6 pages of stuff that isn't avaialable. Service was mixed, our waiter Shawn was great, but there were other issues, below. The building has some deferred maintenance issues, the bench seat at our booth fell apart when we got up, stuff like that. The entry wasn't very welcoming, but the food was so good, it would make up for everything, except for this.... Now for the Really Bad: We told them about allergies at the table, but when I ordered the dessert crepe with cherries jubilee, I was instead served a crepe chock full of walnuts. Wrong dish, and I'm allergic to walnuts. It was rolled up and filled, so I thought maybe the cherries were inside. I took a bite and has an immediate effect. I spit out the bite (which is embarrassing to have to do at a restaurant with guests), but it was too late. It's not life threatening or anything, but I spent a very miserable night, as a result. I barely got an apology 'sorry they delivered the wrong dish', but no serious concern, and not a single penny off the bill. They didn't even take the charge off for the dessert that I didn't get the first time, and was unable to eat once they gave it to me, because my mouth was on fire. Our table of 4 spent about $400, so it seems like they could have done a little something for us. At least sincere concern, but it it existed, it was never expressed to me. On the way out, I spoke to the owner, who was standing out front (yelling at wait staff about when tables were clearing), and told him the situation. He literally said "what do you want me to do about it?" Well, Dude, something. But no, nothing. He said he will train the staff to be more careful. That seems like something that should have been done already, so this didn't happen to begin with. He said "I owe you one", but didn't take my name or any information for this future unnamed favor, didn't offer a gift certificate, or even a dessert to take home. It seems serving food the customer is allergic to should warrant some kind of acknowledgement. At least a free dessert, or a gift certificate to enjoy a future meal - one without an allergic reaction. Not sure if I'm going back. The food was so excellent, I may go back, but the other experience was very unhappy.

    When your in town, stop at this place.. It's worth it…read more. We were passing through on the 40 headed to Kansas and we followed the reviews here for lunch.. I will tell you, the burgers here will make you think twice about having another one anywhere else afterwards.. They barbecue them on a santa maria grill with lump charcoal.. Smells so good inside.. The staff kick ass and treat you with respect.. We ordered the rodeo burgers with fries.. While we were waiting we had salsa from the chip and salsa cart.. Was yummy salsa too.. The burgers came out and OMG! They were SO DAMN GOOD!!!! Get a few napkins as your gonna need them.. Burgers buns were soft and sweet and stood up to the well seasoned burger with onion rings and barbecue sauce.. The fries were crisp and good too.. The owner walked around and was engaged with all of his patrons. He came to our table and asked us how our day was and asked how the food was.. I like that, when you have an owner that takes the time to ask someone how they are doing.. That carries a lot of weight with me as it shows they care about their brand and what they stand for.. He even gave us a tour.. That was cool.. Thank You For Everything.. We will be back next time we drive out the 40..

    This is a half-pound burger with added green chile (I think it was $.79) and American Cheese (I think it was a buck). Fries were not great.
