Our waiter, Joe, was wonderful as his service was impeccable. The food was terrific and the Tram ride was quite the experience. We will have dinner at Ten 3 again in the near future.

The steak filets were great, but my "spaetzel" was indistinguishable as a shape of pasta. It was more like a porridge and was very salty.

Great atmosphere and view outside looking down into Albuquerque. It was cloudy and snowy but there were a few openings where the clouds lifted and the view was great. The issue was with the food. We had oysters for an appetizer and there only 3 which for $26 is not a lot. They were good but not great. For entrees I ordered the lamb shank and my wife the ribeye. My lamb was extremely dry. It had some flavor but was way over cooked and what little sauce was there was soaked up by the dry lamb. The feta mashed potatoes were tasty but also very dry and the Brussels sprouts, while having a good flavor were way undercooked. I could only eat a few. I never send anything back and struggled eating it while my wife shared some of her steak with me, and the steak was pretty good. Finally I just stopped, there was no point in trying to eat anything else. The waitress came over when it looked like we were done and my wife told her how bad my meal was. The waitress said yes, it looked like I wasn’t enjoying my meal and apologized and said she would comp it, which she did. Why she didn’t come over sooner, who knows. A shame because it could have been such a tremendous dining experience but was instead disappointing because of the food.

This happened to be the last day we were entertaining my sister-in-law who visited us from Baltimore for 10 days during the Thanksgiving holiday and beyond, so we wanted to send her off with a special dinner and fond memories. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The restaurant was extremely cold. Not chilly, but cold. Furthermore, my wife does not eat red meat, so she was having a difficult time finding something on the menu to order. When I asked the server about the crab cake, he stated, "Why would you come to the desert and inquire about a crab cake." Consequently, my wife was hesitant to order the sea bass because of that comment. After long deliberation, my wife settled for just the Caesar salad and added chicken. The $19 dollar Caesar salad had 3 small pieces of Romaine with a sprinkling of chicken which was terribly hard to cut. In addition, there was absolutely no Caesar dressing on the salad and we had to ask the server for some dressing!! Needless to say, my wife hated her meal experience. My sister-in-law ordered the Fettuccine. Unfortunately, the pasta was buried under too much asparagus, baby tomatoes, pea mornay and more. If you're ordering fettuccine, you shouldn't have to go digging under a bunch of vegetables to find it. So, in addition to being freezing, my sister-in-law left most of her meal on the plate. I ordered the Chicken Chop, which was two, very small pieces of chicken with a whole lot of risotto topped with parsnip and carrot crunch. It wasn't bad, but I'd rather have a larger portion of the chicken and not a heaping portion of risotto for $39?? The best part of this fiasco was the dessert. It was "The Three Sisters" which consisted of Bailey's chocolate mousse, ganache, a chocolate bowl of vanilla ice cream and a shot of Jameson sweet cream. Our compliments to the pastry chef for that. All in all, the best part of the evening was the Tram ride and dessert. Hardly enough to want to return to Ten 3. The servers wear jeans?

Under seasoned mediocre EXPENSIVE food. We had asparagus canelloni, ribeye steak, wedge salad, Caesar salad, snow peas, carrots and polenta. The only item that was extremely tasty was the goat cheese polenta. Views were stunning! With 1 beer and 1 glass of wine with tip, check was $264 and that didn't include the $66 tram ride for 2. Great de or and ambiance, but food was extremely mediocre. Outback cooks a better more consistent steak. Wedge salad was slices of lettuce and not a wedge. Caesar salad was barely dressed. Fancy, pretty food without taste. Glad we tried it, but we wouldn't go back.

a mediocre restaurant for dining, not suitable for tourist unless you always carry a formal suit with you -- I appreciate their dress code requirement. However, as a fine dining restaurant, it is really unnecessary to force customers to take off the luxury sweatshirt to wear the low-quality shirts provided by the restaurant. Ten 3 can focus more on the food quality instead of the dress code. However, the view is magnificent and the view is worth its price -- most likely you pay for the view, not for the food.

Ten 3 is now one of the five best restaurants in Albuquerque. I was pleased that they were open for Thanksgiving and that they had more selections than merely a turkey prix fixe. My date, who is a vegetarian, was particularly pleased by the options available. We are already planning more excursions to bring our friends up there.

The atmosphere and service was amazing. The food though tasty was not worth the price. My Chilean sea bass after it was warm was very chewy. I was supposed to have roared potatoes on my dish there were three and they were extremely salty. I had a lot of bock choy. The filet was tasty but we have been other high end restaurant where the quality was better. It was a nice experience but we probably won’t do fine dinning again. The price we paid was over valued for the quality we received in our meal.

Wonderful food and amazing ambiance. I would have to say this is arguably the best fine dining experience in NM - sorry Santa Fe! It is also very expensive, but everything including water and the help has to be brought up on the tram or driven up the backside of the mountain. Ten3 is definitely a worthy experience!

I wasn’t going to write, because I know that there’s a labor shortage and you’re probably not doing anything about this. Our waiter (Cruise/Cruz) was unprofessional and quite simply, a jerk. When I asked him about the entrées, he was rude and asked me how many times have I eaten at the restaurant before. I was asking questions since it seems like the wedge salad was a play on a wedge salad and the macaroni and cheese isn’t traditional which is totally fine, but I wanted to know if the filet would be traditional or a play on the dish. He was so unbelievably confrontational that we lost our appetites, asked for the check and left before our entrees. I waited tables for many, many years and never made a customer feel belittled. I was in fear of my safety with combativeness tone. Beyond his attitude, his pace in ordering was too fast compared to the patrons around us and he never described a dish to us like I could hear the waiter to the left of us doing. He needs an attitude adjustment. We tipped him 20% and left without another confrontation but I’m sure if you look at his percentages of tips he’d be on the low end. You may be saving money by having boots on the ground with him but you’re losing more with folks like me sharing my bad experience with others.

Great evening with good friends and our waiter was excellent and attentive. Just don’t go early to have a drink at the bar as they have no place for you to sit inside if you want a drink before dinner and the patio was way to cold. We had no idea we could not do that. Food was excellent. Could have a few more vegan options. I requested vegan options when I made reservations and to our pleasant surprise our waiter knew this. He was really good.

The whole experience was top notch. We elected to ride the tram up (was not included) and we’re we’re seated right on time. All staff was helpful and polite. The food was awesome. We enjoyed grilled watermelon salad, a fillet, the largest pork chop I’ve ever seen. And the peanut butter chocolate desert. Great to celebrate my husbands birthday! They gave him a card! Loved it!!

What a special place - a true gem in Albuquerque!!! We rode up the tram just before sunset. The views were incredible. The wait staff was attentive, carried on pleasant conversations, and made certain our expectations were exceeded. We ordered the ribeye and the bone in pork chop. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare and seasoned beautifully. The pork chop was a bit dry but the flavors on the plate with the chutney and polenta were still very good. You should definitely order the potatoes cooked in duck fat - AMAZING. It was an expensive evening - however we had a wonderful night and would definitely recommend Ten 3 for a special celebration.

I will not be returning. This was my second time dining at Ten 3 and it was very different than last year. I took my 60+ year old mom when she was visiting town and she was yelled at for standing up to take a picture of the sunset because it’s now against their policy even though it’s not listed anywhere. When I pay 250 dollars for dinner plus a 50 dollar tip a less than 30 second photo with my mom in front of a sunset shouldn’t be a big deal, especially when I asked the diners at that table first and they said they didn’t mind one bit. It really tainted the entire meal and experience. The way they went about rudely telling us and then literally making us go outside in the cold during our sunset meal if we wanted to take a photo was not hospitality for the cost. So management please publicize this policy for future diners.

Make a point to travel from Dallas to dine at Ten 3 at least once a year. Love dining at the top of the mountain. The staff is great and the bar manager (didn't get her name) is fantastic. Usually go early to have cocktails in the bar until it's time to go to the dining room. The food is fantastic and staff is very attentive and accommodating. Can't waiting until our next visit.
