June 5, 2023 - Ten 3 Restaurant, (Albuquerque, NM) We arrived at the Sandia Peak Tramway a little after 4 pm on a Monday to head up to Ten 3 Restaurant. Note: the restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We got checked in for the tram ride to the top and then went to the gift shop to buy some souvenirs. We headed up on the tramway at about 4:40 PM. It was about a 15 minute ride up to the top. The views as you're going up are pretty remarkable, with Albuquerque out to the west with beautiful desert mountains and plateaus in the distance, and remarkable rock formations and conifer forest below you and to the east. You climb about 4000 feet along the 2.7 mile tram, the longest in N. America. There were dark storm clouds looming in the distance and it was looking like there might be a good chance of rain. When we got to the top, we headed straight to the restaurant and bar to check in and grab a glass of wine. Our original plan was to go back outside while we waited for our 6 pm dinner reservation and take in the views while we sipped on our wine; however, the hostess at the restaurant said we could be seated immediately, so we took her up on her offer and headed inside to the restaurant. We checked our coats and then got a table right next to the window looking down and out to the west. The clouds were growing darker and coming closer to us as we sat down. Our server's name was Nick. He was a friendly and talkative guy and we struck up an immediate rapport. He gave us a quick rundown of the evening specials for appetizers, and we discussed options for choosing a wine. We decided to order the seared yellowfin tuna as an appetizer and a bottle of a Monterey County Santa Lucia Highlands 2021 Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay to go with our meal. Excellent choice from our home State and region. Nick showed up shortly there after with our wine and we continued to discuss our options for our meal. My wife ordered the ravioli and I ordered the sautéed jumbo Mexican shrimp. We also ordered a Caesar salad to split. As we enjoyed our appetizer and wine, we also received some delicious apricot pear bread and butter to go with the meal. Our Cesar salad came out shortly after we finished our appetizer. Everything was delicious! At about that time, the dark clouds decided to release their fury. Rain and snow began to pummel our window. There was lightning and thunder. It was very exciting! One of the most enjoyable and exciting meals we've ever experienced. The downpour lasted for about 15 minutes and then subsided. Our main course came out not long after. The ravioli was delicious. It was made with asparagus, sweet pea, and grana padano stuffing, blistered, baby tomatoes, and a buerre blanc sauce that was poured over the raviolis at the table. The sautéed jumbo Mexican shrimp was also very tasty. A substantial departure from my wife's more creamy buttery ravioli, It was prepared in a achiote pan sauce with a mixture of avocado and lime, dark forbidden rice, organic squash, grilled pineapple, and red onion pico. The presentation of these two wonderful entrees was amazing and added to this already exciting and delightful evening! After we finished our main course, Nick brought us the dessert menu. There were lots of good looking choices that included cognac and other aperitifs. We settled on the three sisters desert, a remarkable triumvirate of chocolate mousse, Jamison cream, and ice cream in a chocolate cup. It was insanely chocolatey and delicious! We finished the meal off with two house-made, caramel-filled, bite-size chocolates that Nick brought out with the bill. A perfect finish to a perfect evening! And, to top it off, the storm had subsided by the time we decided to head back over to the tram and go down the mountain. We learned that the tram had been stopped during the earlier lightning storm. Our timing was perfect! We caught the next tram down and were back down the mountain 15 minutes later. read more

People come to ten3 because it's the only option at the top of the mountain and if you don't, then you're riding the tram up and back or hiking. The view is obviously great and because there's only one option the restaurant gets busy. If you're wanting a meal I'd recommend a reservation! My friend and I stopped in to warm up and to get a drink at the bar. They had a pretty good cocktail list and beer/wine options and we thought about ordering a few appetizers but nothing on the menu really stood out, plus the prices were high. The food options were pretty lackluster and didn't give us a reason to stay past our 1 drink. I think a bar menu with more snack type options would be smart and encourage folks to stay! read more

TEN 3 - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My friend and I rode the tram up for our birthday because we wanted to eat at the restaurant, Ten 3, at the top of the mountain for lunch. When we arrived, we weren't the only ones wanting to eat there, so there was a bit of a line. No problem, though, because we were inside the front area, and it was warm. When we got to the front of the line, we were told it would be a 45-60min wait. They told us we could get a drink at the bar and then drink it outside while we waited for the buzzer to go off. It was a cold and windy November day and still early enough that the sun wasn't warming things up, so this plan was not my first choice. We went inside and immediately noticed all the empty tables on the lunch or casual dining side of the restaurant. I was confused why there was such a wait with the empty tables, but I thought maybe they were short-staffed. My friend and I each got a to-go ten 3 margarita at the bar (tequila, grand marnier, lime, green chile & pineapple syrup). They were given to us in plastic cups, and the bartender had difficulty getting all the liquid in the cups. Some of it splashed out when it hit the ice while she was pouring. I wasn't upset about this until I realized they were $19 each. It was an ok margarita, nothing to write home about. We were seated after 30min at one of the tables I had noted was empty when we were in there earlier. It was an interior table without a view, but it was warm, and we were hungry. We decided to switch to wine because the margaritas were just ok and very pricy. My friend got a glass of the MER SOLEIL SLH for $14, and I had a glass of the RICHTER for $14. We got the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail (hatch green chile cocktail sauce, corn chips) for $19 as an appetizer. It was delicious! The shrimp were huge, and the cocktail sauce was flavorful with just a hint of spice. My friend got the Carne Asada Street Tacos (Chef Martin's street taco creation of the day, borracho beans, ask for today's style) for $19. She said they were very tasty. I got the Alfredo Pasta (alfredo cream sauce, grana padana, toast points, with citrus poached shrimp) for $45. While it was very pricy for a lunch offering, it was so delicious. The alfredo sauce was creamy, the shrimp were huge and tasty, and the bread was crisp and buttery. We decided to skip desert because nothing looked spectacular to us. I was delighted with the food, and for a special occasion, it is doable. However, the service left something to be desired and that is why it is a 3 star review. We hardly saw our server, and she was neither warm nor friendly. Plus we had to wait a long time for the check and then a while for her to take it to run it. The server at the table next to us brought out our appetizer and was laughing and joking with us. Also, the waiting outside for a table when there were plenty of empty tables did not impress me. read more

This was definitely a 5-star experience. The tram ride, the food, the service, and the views, all wonderful. We arrived at the Sandia Peak Tram an hour before our reservations, as was recommended. We got in line, and waited for the next tram to arrive. The tram ride is 2.7 miles long; it is the longest tram in North America. (Make sure to purchase your tram ticket online in advance.) The 15-minute tram ride was enjoyable; the tram driver kept us entertained. The views are superb. When we arrived at the top, there was a brief wait for our reservation time. (We had timed our reservation so that we would see the sunset over Albuquerque.) The bar was packed, so we waited in line and somehow maneuvered to get a seat at the bar to order a drink. Shortly thereafter, we were called to dinner. Immediately, we had wonderful service. The hostess made sure all were wearing masks while walking about the restaurant. The host took our plastic glasses that we had from the bar (plastic, because many people take their drinks outside), and transferred our drinks to glass (really, we received full new drinks). They had coat check for our coats. Already we are feeling pampered. The server was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Chilean sea bass, and my husband ordered the rack of lamb. Both were delicious. From start to finish, we enjoyed all the food and the special touches that were included. And the VIEW! Watching the sunset over Albuquerque, and then seeing the lights of the city, was a view I'll remember for a long time. read more

Went up today to enjoy views. Asked an older woman at the front desk if I could peek in at the restaurant, trying to decide if we'd book. Answer ' we don't just let people in here'. She was rude and unwelcoming. We won't be booking...wrong answer ma'am! read more

We've eaten at both sides of Ten 3, but our recent visit to the fine dining side was amazing. We were able to be seated along the windows and it was stunning during sunset. Our waiter was attentive and provided great suggestions for both wine and dessert. My husband raved about his steak- it was cooked perfectly. I ordered a chorizo/shrimp dish that was unique and filling. The bar offers a solid wine list and great cocktails. The prices are a bit inflated but that's clearly warranted due to logistics. The food on the casual side can be hit or miss but still decent. read more

I'm not one to give out 5 stars unless a place really wows me. This experience was amazing! From taking the tram way up in the dark, to seeing the city lights, the ambiance of the restaurant I felt like a rich person. Definitely pricey but worth every dollar. The food was AMAZING. The staff were very welcoming. I'm definitely gonna recommend this place and plan for another trip. Please be aware that the fine dining reservations are a different place than the lounge walk in. If you make a reservation please make sure to tell them in the front. The menus are very different. read more

What an experience!!!! Food was amazing and that view!!!! You take a tram ride up the mountain to arrive at Ten 3. You're actually 10,300 feet above sea level, clever name. The tram was breathtaking and the restaurant is very nice inside. Has an amazing vibe and massive windows to take in the view. We sat at the bar for 2 drinks while waiting for the table. My wife is a margarita connoisseur aka margarita snob and she loved the drink they made. Large selection of premium liquor and beer to be had. Ordered the brisket sammi, the pork French fries and an app that I can't remember the name. It was all called New Mexican Cuisine and we are both fans!!! Go here for the food and the experience. You won't be sorry. Scope the pics. read more

Sadly, if I had to give a one word rating it would be "underwhelming" I was so excited about having a nice meal on top of a mountain watching a beautiful sunset. The trip up the mountain and the meal were part of a birthday present for my wife. The underwhelming part was the meal and overall restaurant experience. (The trip up the tram and the view did not disappoint) The restaurant has a lower end section that I believed serves sandwiches and a higher end area that has full meals (and faces the sunset). When I made my reservation I was asked if we were celebrating anything. I said yes, my wife's birthday. The host said she would make a note of that on our reservation. (More on that later). When we got there, we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, not at one of the "prime" viewing tables... bad luck I guess? (Our table overlooked the viewing area deck and to see the mountain and sun we had to look over or through other people's tables). Our waiter was nice, but must have been very new. Couldn't remember the specials and was not very much help with the wine list. I did like him however, and he was attentive... and trying. Meal wise, everything was one again underwhelming. I will admit, I am being extremely tough on this review, but when the place is priced and marketed as a high end restaurant, you just expect more. Everything was plated and presented well (see my pictures) I will breakdown the flavors individually. The crab cake appetizer was good, but too bready. My wife's bacon wrapped chicken had decent flavor (from the bacon) but the chicken was a little dry. My lamb chops were good and I enjoyed them. The most tasty part of the meal was the " palate cleanser" that was served between the appetizer and the main course. It was a small spoon with pear, blue cheese and balsamic vinegar. Yum! For dessert we ordered the crème brûlée. I also told our waiter that we were celebrating my wife's birthday and I asked if they do anything special for birthdays. He said he "could see if they could put a candle on the dessert"... so I asked him "why do they ask if we were celebrating anything when I made the reservation"? He said he didn't know! To me, this was another let down.... Would have been happy with at least a "happy birthday" written on her plate.... or something.... anything! (We didn't even get the candle)! And the crème brûlée. Terrible! Didn't even finish it! I can say I've had a lot of different crème brûlée's, some better than others, but I have never had one that was soupy, like runny pudding. Maybe, this is the way they are made in the Southwest, but it sure wasn't a consistency I was expecting. Here my overall advice. Take the Tram ride and save yourself a couple hundred on the meal. Maybe have a drink at the bar and watch the sunset on the deck. read more

After a 3 hour hike we stopped here for lunch. The place has a one hour wait but we got lucky with a spot for two at the bar. We ordered mocktails and Cesar salad w/chicken and the bbq salmon. It was all excellent. I couldn't believe how good the food and service both were. read more

If you are taking the Sandia Peak Tramway, I would drink some coffee beforehand. We walked inside the Ten 3 restaurant to order coffee up at the bar, and it was $6 for a cappuccino with the cup only ~1/2 way full. I attempted to take a sip to see if it needed cream/sugar, but we were told to go outside to drink any since we weren't dining in the restaurant. The people working here weren't rude but also weren't super friendly. On the bright side, the views up here are beautiful! We would love to ride the tram again but will probably steer clear of this restaurant. read more

I was the most excited to spend my birthday dinner at Ten3. The ambiance was nice, and the view spectacular. Unfortunately the food really needs some more work. I ordered the bison bone marrow, and the inside of the bone marrow was cold. I couldn't swallow the lard-like substance and sent it back to the kitchen. We then had the bone-in prime rib, and it was overly salty. I would go back again because of the view, but I would definitely order something else. Don't have too high expectations of their food and then you wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Well you most definitely do not come here for the food. My glass still had lipstick on it from the night before. I ordered the street tacos (daily special was sirloin). I asked to substitute the beans and was immediately denied.. no substitutions. I also found it strange that the waitress didn't ask how I wanted the sirloin and of course it came out medium well. The beans were awful (I don't really like beans though) tacos were okay, meat was under seasoned. My recommendation, take the tramway up because the experience is great but pack yourself a picnic. read more

We were on the peak via the famous tram and so decided to grab something. However, was disappointed as they didn't have anything other than the beer for a to-go option.

It tasted too good, however, for just a small glass, they are highly overpriced with the average price of each beer being $10+ read more

Great service, and the food was very good. A bit pricy, but that is expected at 10,300 feet, at the top of the Sandia Peak Tramway. And try for a window seat. Great views. Lunch is casual dress, but dinner's are business casual. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. read more

Amazing views, food and service! Loved the ambiance and the whole experience. The cocktails were amazing too.

We made reservations at Ten to celebrate our anniversary while visiting Albuquerque. The restaurant did an exceptional job making it memorable. We were immediately seared upon arrival via the Sandia Tram. Ian provided service and did an outstanding job--he offered excellent recommendations and paced the meal perfectly. We started with the pork belly and Brazilian cheese bread--both dishes were excellent. My wife went with the special which was a lobster tail accompanied by homemade mushroom ravioli. I had the pork chop which was excellent--it was juicy and cooked perfectly. We concluded our meal with the tres leches and chocolate cake--both deserts were excellent. Our dining experience at Ten 3 was exceptional and if you are in the Albuquerque area, it is well worth visiting for dinner. read more

Ten 3 is at the top of Sandia and it's the only option at the top of the mountain. When I saw the sign at the bottom that the restaurant was up scale I got a little nervous because I was dressed very casual. But when we got up there it was casual vibe. so it was fine. We went on a Saturday around lunch time. The view is obviously great and because there's only one option the restaurant was pretty busy. They told us it would be around a 30 minute wait which was fine. We did ask if we could order a drink at the bar but the hostess told us we could not. But when we went back outside we saw a few people with cocktails...so unsure what happened there. Overall the food was good. I'd say what you'd expect from a tourist type restaurant. But lets be real you're really there for the views anyways. read more

The tram ride up to the top of the restaurant was beautiful. Worth the money for the unbelievable views. It's a 15 minute ride, a little scary at first if you don't like heights. The restaurant surpassed expectations and our server was so polite and respectful. Made the dining experience a 10 for us. Our table had many entrees but I had the scallops and risotto. Just perfect!!! We met the chef and complimented him and his team on how excellent the food was. Overall a wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back here. read more

It is so unfortunate to know the host table and manager on duty the day of our experience were not only disinterested in letting us dine at the restaurant, but they were consistent in making sure our only option was to-go beverages (in plastic cups) to have outside. As a group of five adults, we paid about $180 to experience the tramway and explore the top of the mountains, so it would be quite easy to allude the pricing of TEN 3 which wasn't an issue for us. The hostess on August 11th before we even fully walked into the waiting lobby, was quick to glance at us and say they only had to-go options for us. We stated we had no issues waiting for a table or for seats to open at the bar, but it wasn't an option for our group. We were told they needed the staff to catchup and turnover for dinner, but we saw two groups of 5+ people get seated and welcomed after our inquiry. To add more salt to the wound, it was the tables we had inquired about being sat at ourselves not even ten minutes before they were seated. The restaurant area with the chandeliers was closed as it was around 3/4pm, so this is solely about the tables around the bar and closest to the host table. It's hard not to be under the impression that race was an issue when we saw a similar situation happen to another group of POCs and to be honest I felt like they assumed all the "Hispanics" were together and they didn't want to deal with "us" as that group had little kids. The manager on duty was very rude and short quipped. He just had a very "get to the point" attitude. Even to the point where I was directed to bathrooms at the bottom of the stairs only to overhear another group walking out about the bathrooms being inside the restaurant. The only reason why there was any ounce of saving grace was the bartending team making our two rounds of drinks. Drinks and zero proof cocktails were not only delicious but the bar staff was pleasant to interact with. We weren't going to let the front of house ruin our opportunity to have drinks on top of the mountain and since it was a "to-go experience only", I can only go off of what the manager and host that day imply the management team and owners stand for. I still remember the second time my brother and I went outside the manager was quick to ask what our intentions were which I quickly replied don't worry we're just here to get a second round of drinks... to go as you've already implied. No matter what though, I was not going to let them ruin our opportunity to have drinks with the stunning view. Did I mention that even after the second round of drinks we couldn't help but laugh in disbelief of other tables being invited to sit at the bar and adjacent tables who were walk-ins as well... read more

We stopped by Ten3 for cocktails after taking the tram up for an evening ride. When we arrived at the door of Ten3, the doors were locked as the bar was closing. Fortunately, we were able to sneak in as other customers were leaving. And even more fortunately we were able to convince the bartenders to serve as a cocktail. We met 2 of the bartenders that were originally from Arizona, both were very friendly, and we bonded over our home state. read more

What a disappointment. The $30.00 per person tram ride up is magical. It's shame we had to wait until after sunset for the tram to arrive to take us up. We were seated promptly in the main "fine" dining room. It's unfortunate the lighting reflexes in the glass window ruining the view if you aren't lucky enough to score a front row table. Lighting is also very bright for "fine dining" No table clothes, candles or flowers on the tables. The dining room is cold. I mean very cold. We ordered cocktails and noticed the martini's are filled to about 3/4 inch from the rim of the glass. Was this because the server can't make it from the bar to the table without spilling? Or just a poor choice in glassware, which makes the drinks seem under poured. When the first course came out, the salads were "auctioned" off at the table. "Who has the ???" Of course this isn't fine dining. Or quality service. The wedge salad was missing dressing. The "Fall Salad" had huge chucks of cheese. I made the mistake of thinking it was the pear and got quite a mouth full of dry cheese. Main courses were again auctioned off at our table of four. It's really inexcusable at this price point for this to happen. The pappardeppe was a starchy mess of globs of pasta. The farmed salmon was over cooked (I was never ask how I wanted it cooked). The pork chop was large enough to feed a family of 5. There was nothing on the plates that would make a return trip worthy. I needed to use the restroom, which takes you thru a dark bar area, ruined by a very large TV blaring away. Once you enter the bathroom, your eyes go into shock at the brightness of the restroom. At 7:30, the trashcan was overflowing. Remember the rule: The filth they show you isn't half as bad as the filth they hide. At this point the dining room was pretty much cleared out on a Friday night. Spending more time in this cold, over lit room just didn't seem like desert was going to be worth it, so we left. I'm glad I went here. It's a take people from out of town kind of place, but after reading the reviews for the casual dinning, I'll pass. read more

Do you remember the Core Memory concept from Inside Out? My experience here was definitely a "core memory" for me. From the wait staff, to the views, to the food, everything about my dinner here was magical. We had dinner here on a Thursday night on the fine dining side. Originally we were planning on eating in the bar, but there weren't enough vegetarian options to satisfy my traveling partners so we tried our luck next door. The restaurant says that you need reservations but because the fine dining side was relatively empty, they were more than willing to seat us. The host quickly sat us in an absolutely amazing corner table with stunning sunset views to the west and south, and our waiter (I wish that I remembered his name) got us started on drinks right away. I got the Delirium Tremens- a favorite- and my coworkers got a local beer and a cocktail. The wine list here is also pretty decent. We ended up getting the filet of beef (me), the salmon special, and the jumbo asparagus for my vegetarian coworker. We didn't opt for appetizers, but the waiter brought us out the nicest little amuse bouche of an apple slaw with blue cheese and micro greens. The food was excellent- my filet was cooked perfectly, and the Yukon mash was really good especially since it was filled with shaved truffles. My coworkers loved their meals, and my director kept talking about how much he loved the mushrooms all that night and into the next day! We finished the dinner with some complimentary bourbon caramel truffles from their pastry chef. All in all this is one of the more special meals that I've had the opportunity to experience. Was it expensive? Yes. But was it worth it? Absolutely. I'm actually really surprised about the low-ish overall rating for this restaurant, but after reading some reviews it seems like those are coming from the casual side. I think that it may be helpful for the business to look into splitting the reviews in the future if at all possible because the two restaurants are WILDLY different (not that the casual side is bad). read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Extremely expensive. When we arrived, the tram employees hurried us over to the tram ahead of regular tourists so that we could make it in time for our dinner reservation. The tram employees had the names of restaurant guests so they could usher them to the tram to make their reservations. We were not late, but the wait at that point for the tram was about an hour. $600 later, we paid our check. It was about 7:15. The waiter had said nothing to us about the tram wait being about three hours. The restaurant web site says nothing about the tram wait. This is a regular thing, the evening tram wait is long because so many tourists go up to the mountain late in the day. The restaurant makes no accommodations for guests AFTER dinner. They only help cutomers BEFORE dinner so it is not inconvenienced by late arrivals. After guests have paid their checks, the customer no longer matters. The restaurant could arrange reservations for the tram, but that's not something they do. We waited about 3 hours 15 minutes for the tram. We didn't get on a tram to go home until about 10:30 pm, getting to the parking lot about 11:00 pm. Never again. This is an example of gross mistreatment of customers. Yeah: arrange to help them get to your restaurant on time so that you can charge them $600 for dinner, but then throw them to the wolves for their return tram ride back. read more

5 stars for this unique experience, but a 4 star for the reason below. My husband made a reservation for the fine dining room at 6 pm and Tram tickets at 5 pm. We arrived and even though there was a long hour long line for the Tram, we were front loaded on the next tram. This was a nice de-stresser to the experience. The ride up the mountain was nice and we caught the end of the sun set. When we arrived at TEN3, we checked in and sat at the bar to await our table which was ready 5 minutes after our arrival. We were 30 min early for our reservation, so this was also great. We checked our coats and were seated. The staff were great and service was amazing. The food was delicious and all of the ingredients high quality and thoughtfully selected. I had the Beef Filet and my husband had the Ribeye. We had the Creme Brûlée and Blood Orange desserts, which were sweet and perfect. 4 star review ... for the fine dining room experience as we were expressly told there was a dress code (online and over the phone), but most of the people in the same dining room were dressed in jeans (some ripped), flannels, and generally comfort cold weather clothing. So the dress code wasn't really a thing. The dining room was LOUD. It has such a potential to be a quiet, intimate atmosphere with phenomenal views, but between the yelling from the kitchen and the other dining patrons, it was so very loud. Will likely return since fine dining options are limited in Albuquerque. read more

Fabulous dinner! Truly fine dining. Had dined there previously, when it was High Finance. That name was accurate. It was pricey. The food? Well, it's above 10,000 feet, so it cant be so good. Wrong. This experience was extraordinary. We had the Pacific Barramundi (Sea Bass) and the Duck. Two starters and a marvelous desert. All amazing. Criticisms? Well, we let our waiter know that the onions should have had a few more minutes on the stove. Highly recommend this experience. An incredible sunset Tram ride capped with an amazing dining experience. read more

It got its name coz it's at 10.300 ft. It took 2.5 years and $8.3 million to build. I was so excited to try it, but again... Let's just start with my delis Ten 3 margarita, my gosh! I've never had a better one! Was perfect. Loved the shaved,dry chili in it. The 3 dip appetizer was also very nice, the guacamole was heavenly. Green chili mac and cheese... not a fan, we didn't even finish half of it. Had a weird aftertaste and it was just not enjoyable. Was a real bummer coz everything is pricey here. We also had the French fries which was good. For dessert the bread pudding. Was phenomenal, also a good portion. It's a fun bar crowd, customers are very friendly. The crew was nice but somehow I didn't see them smile or having a good time. I mean I know it's work, but sad faces does not make the restaurant appealing. read more
