TEN 3

Perched at a breathtaking 10,300 feet atop the Sandia Mountains, Ten3 is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience. We arrived via the Sandia Peak Tramway on a snowy day, and the ride alone was worth the trip, offering panoramic views of the mountain's rugged beauty, blanketed in pristine white.Ten3 provided the perfect sanctuary from the crisp alpine air, welcoming us with a warm and refined ambiance that felt both elevated and inviting. After shedding our layers, we indulged in some comfort food with a New Mexico twist. The green chili stew was a standout--hearty, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat to warm the soul. The chicken tenders were surprisingly delightful (yes, sometimes you need a little nostalgia on a snowy day!), and the hot toddies were the ideal antidote to the chill outside.With plenty of time to soak in the experience, our group split up for some snowy adventures. The boys hiked down and back up the mountain (braver souls than me!), while the rest of us reveled in making snow angels and a valiant attempt at a snowman. As kids from Hawaii, the novelty of playing in the snow at 10,000 feet made it a truly magical day.Ten3 isn't just about the food--it's about the entire journey. From the tram ride to the snow-laden landscapes to the cozy mountain dining, it's an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the beauty of Albuquerque's peaks. A must-visit!

Amazing views and warm greetings from the chilly outdoors. Rode the tram up to the top and had an Amazing operator narrator Jake. There is a formal section of the restaurant which needs reservations and a casual area around the bar which is first come first serve.We managed to get up to the top just in time for sunset in January which is around 5:15 pm.Be careful with the drinks, one is more than enough when you're at 10,000 ft. Get some food if you imbibe. We ordered the nacho trio, which was pretty good although the chips seemed like they were just Tostitos and not made from a local chip maker. The salsa, cheese sauce, and guacamole were good but could have used larger portions (or fewer chips).We also tried the tempura veggies. Our experience with these were a bit too salty. There was an oyster mushroom in the plate that was rather chewy, not sure if it's supposed to be that chewy.

I was expecting this to be a primary experience for tourists, and while it was... I was very happily surprised! The tram itself takes maybe 15 mins to the top, (remember to buy tickets beforehand). You get such good views of the city! The restaurant itself is suites for a nice occasion. The menu isn't extensive but the food was perfectly cooked. Service was also great! make sure to pack some warm clothing, it's cold up there!

I was lucky enough to be taken here for Valentine's Day and it was such a special dinner! This restaurant is on top of the sandias, so you are required to take the tram up which is a delight. We went to the fancy side of Ten 3, they have a casual dinning side with bar seating. The fancy side is reservation only and does have a dress code. That's the only hard part is being super cold in a dress on top of the mountain but it's worth it!The food was sooooo excellent and the service was top tier. They have a coat check upon check-in and the staff is extremely attentive! We will definitely be back :)

Not an inexpensive snack but the views can't be beat!We enjoyed seasonal drinks and honestly all 3 shareables were excellent!But of course the view just adds to the entire experience

Really great food, service and ambiance. Took the tram up and back. Prepare to have to wait a little but both the view and meal were well worth it. We had reservations and were seated right away. They do take walk ins but don't count on that being available. When we were waiting on for the tram we heard an announcement that the restaurant was not taking any walk ins. The wine (we had reds) were good as well. All and all a lovely experience. Ps - get team tickets ahead of time.

We went to Ten 3 for our anniversary. Sadly (and outside of their control), our anniversary falls on Labor Day weekend AND there was an electrical storm on the top of the mountain. Soooooo..... we waited 90 minutes to go up on the Tram and an equivalent wait to go back down. Oof, right?The three hour buffers aside, the meal was pretty special. My issues were the table placement (right in front of the entry into the kitchen, so we got all of the noise and traffic for the entire restaurant), the so-so fried mushrooms side (lukewarm with so much breading it negated any taste from the mushrooms themselves) and the brisk pacing (we sat later than all of our surrounding tables and got our entrees a brisk 15 minutes later so we were in and out in under an hour). We also got a happy birthday card instead of a happy anniversary card, but it seemed to be on par with the wackiness of the evening. Our waiter was wonderful and he apologized for the incorrect card and the super-fast arrival of the entrees. We appreciated his guidance in ordering our entrees (Cornish Game Hen and a Pork Tenderloin) and the dessert. He also executed the fire on our baked Alaska with aplomb. The dining room was gorgeous and rumor has it that the view was exceptional. A pity we couldn't see it from our way-back-in-the-corner table.

I decided I had to give this a try since it was no longer high finance (it's clearly been a while) and I had heard the food was much better. The views of course are always spectacular, that's the selling point. We took the tram up and went for lunch - hiking over and stopping for lunch is also a good option since the lounge area doesn't require specific fancy dress or a reservation. Our server was great, answered any questions we had and made sure we didn't need anything. We ordered the chile garlic hummus which to our surprise came with pita bread that was covered in turmeric which didn't really add much to the dish but made it rather messy. That said, it was tasty and had a good kick to it. I ordered the burrata sandwich with the sweet potato fries and they were both quite good. All in all the food is good, still quite pricey, but you're paying for the view. At least now you might actually enjoy your meal!! I do recommend checking it out if you haven't been since the old establishment and certainly a nice place to visit periodically.

The food is good but lacks mountain character.The service is a hit or miss depending on the server, and it doesn't match the restaurant ambiance.I do not recommend if you are looking for quality all around atmosphere that match the wonderful view.

The view is amazing. Very upscale menu. Friendly service. Summer and Devon were fabulous and so sweet with my 3 girls today. The wait was longer than originally quoted, but I cannot fault them because people just want to take their time, savor their meal and marvel at the view, so the turnover time is not as quick.I had the the Buratta salad with fresh greens and tomato slices. The tomato slices could be a bit thicker. The bruschetta bread slices were slightly over done and like bricks to bite into.Two of the girls had corn dogs with fries and they certainly enjoyed them. The other had the 3 piece chicken tenders with fries. It was sodas all around and Devon refilled them as needed. Like I said, the view is second to none and the food was good, but not fabulous. Next time we hike on Sandia Peak, we will be back.
