Wonderful view, and the food was really awesome. Our server was excellent and it was nice to have the chef stop by and make sure we were happy and gave recommendations, great place.

This is a beautiful spot and the views are spectacular. The hosts were pleasant and our server Nick was nice. The food was alright, we waited over an hour for our main dishes and my husband ordered the bison ribeye and asked for it to be medium and it arrived over cooked and tough, when we brought it to our servers attention he acknowledged that it was not cooked properly and took it back to the kitchen. Then another man brought the plate back to our table, pulled out his cell phone flash light and proceeded to tell my husband that the center was medium and by “definition” it's cooked. On top of that, the potato's on my dish were raw but i was told I could pick another side to make up for it, which was fine but for the price point you'd think that the dishes would come out perfect... we did get a discount which was appreciated. But if you do decide to dine here, be aware that the atmosphere is beautiful but the food is a hit or miss.

Very attractive restaurant; fantastic views (that's the point of it, really). excellent service, and good food. Unfortunately, to get there you must take the tram up and there's no break for diners (so tack on an extra $34 per person + fees to an already pricey dinner). Certainly worth it once in a while or as a special occasion spot.
This was our 40th anniversary special dinner out. Had requested a view table duriing on line reservation one month prior. This request was abruptly disregarded by the hostess. She informed us that seating is : "first come, first served". Why the online option? Inordinately expensive.
Great service, beautiful view, and interesting interior decoration choices. Overall, the food was appetizing and with an unassuming aesthetic presentation. In general, Italian cuisine is challenging, the rest of our dishes were flavor bops. Our server was superb - and the ambiance, woodwork/structure, and mountain view make this humble establishment uniquely fitting for a special time for you and yours.

Ten3 is without a doubt the absolute best fine dining experience in New Mexico! It's what a true experience should be, not just a great meal. It begins with the drive up to the tram nestled at the base of the majestic Sandia mountains, your senses are immersed in the beauty of the trip up to the top of the mountain where you are greeted with a spectacular view of the entire city before you step through the door of the restaurant where the experience continues. Chef Dennis has brought his imagination to life both visually and physically with color and flavor pairings that are complex and uniquely thrilling. The view from the tables matched with an ambiance and service that I had yet to find in Albuquerque sent this evening to the top of my list of best dinners I have had. Every moment was perfect and my wife and I cannot wait to go back and have our senses ignited again and again. This is an absolute must dining experience!

Had a great experience. The only thing was leading up to the reservation, I called to change my party from 3 to 2, which you think would be easy to do (I wasn't increasing it) but was given kind of a hard time by the person on the phone. We were also delayed going up on the tram due to weather, and the restaurant called to see if we wanted to cancel our reservation rather than being accommodating (we did not cancel). I would expect more from a fine dining restaurant on both accounts!

The server Joe was amazing: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, helpful, invisible when appropriate. The foie gras was absolutely amazing and the whipped dessert was delicious. The view of the southwest sunset was spectacular. Only downside was how long it took to get back down the mountain on the tram because you can't reserve a certain window and just have to wait in line for your turn to get on the next available. I would definitely recommend this dining experience to those wanting something truly special and truly Albuquerque!

A lot to go through for the price for a severe lack of food variety, and mixed drinks, aside from the robust wine list. The amount of veggies was shocking with only just enough to get a quick taste. I'd asked for a steak a little above medium and got one that was well done. The food menu among other things appear to have changed since I was there last year and ate in the lounge area.

Cruz was our waiter and he did an outstanding job, quick service very knowledgeable about the food and great conversation if I could give him personally 6 star I would. Food was fantastic best duck I have ever had by far.
Our experience at Ten 3 exceeded our expectations. Every staff member was attentive, the environment was fantastic. Food was quite literally in top 5 fav meals of all time. We had the Filet Mignon and the Duck. Our cocktails were cold and prompt. The view is the best in Albuquerque. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. It is worth every penny!

Absolutely outstanding! The food, the service, the ambiance -- Everything was over the top! A little pricey when you factor in the gondola ride, but worth every penny! The views at the top were spectacular. Great experience that I'd highly receommend.
