Blades' Bistro offers an exceptional dining experience with interesting French-inspired selections on the menu. The restaurant has a good wine list and cocktails with New Mexico based distillers choices. The staff is welcoming and attentive, providing great care without hovering. Customers praise the consistency of the excellent food, which is reasonably priced for the quality. Dishes like Coconut fried Shrimp with veggies & Asian Slaw receive high praise, and the homemade Lemoncello is appreciated for its smoothness. The owner is known for making guests feel at home, and the service team is gracious and friendly. The menu features seasonal specials such as beets with goat cheese and balsamic glaze, schnitzel with brown and mushroom sauces, and delicious roasted tomatoes in a Caprese salad. The grilled Halibut in lobster sauce and the shrimp & salmon stir-fry are highly recommended. Desserts like crème brûlée, with flecks of vanilla and served in a wide shallow ramekin, are highly favored. Guests often enjoy dining on the patio while watching the sunset light up the Sandias, creating a perfect atmosphere for special occasions or casual visits. Overall, the restaurant is loved for its great food, inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and its status as a hidden gem for locals and visitors alike.
