An amazing elevated experience. The staff was amazing and the food was phenomenal. All the produce gets delivered on the tram, so the prices feel justified. I went for lunch during the Balloon Fiesta and I was served fairly quick. The drinks were delicious and beautiful! I can't wait to go for the dinner service. You also can't beat the view
A fantastic and unique dining experience! My wife and I visited and went for the fine dining option and it did not disappoint. The service was top notch, the food was incredible, and the views were great from our table. We both got the chicken chop and when coupled with the complimentary bread, left us both feeling very full. All of the good was very tasty, from the bread we started off with, to the "palette cleanser" (essentially a spoon full of salad) to the main meal. Prices are high, but you do get what you pay for. If you're looking for a unique fine dining experience, I recommend heading up the mountain to Ten 3!
Special note of thanks to the staff at Ten3 for making our wedding anniversary so memorable. We were warmly greeted by everyone at the host station and seated in one of the loveliest locations in the entire restaurant.
Our server, Nick, was exactly what we would have hoped for: Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He paced the meal so we never felt rushed, yet he was always available to us whenever we needed anything. Nick had such a relaxed, easy-going manner about him that put us at ease.
The jumbo crab cake appetizer we ordered was delicious. The halibut was cooked perfectly. And the shrimp entrée was both super flavorful and popping with color.
Of course, the sunset photos taken right from our table brought the evening to a perfect close. What a wonderful experience this was for us. We highly recommend Ten3 to others and will happily return whenever we make our way back to Albuquerque.

Next level dishes, one of the best bars in the state, and incomparable views make Ten Three a destination restaurant.
It's best to make a reservation to guarantee a seat in the formal restaurant, as it's often full up, but day hikers and casual arrivals can enjoy a drink at the bar, order a sandwich from the bistro half, or order to sit outside and eat while overlooking the city a mile below.
For formal dining, you must take the tram up the mountain (~$25/ticket), and there is a little bit of a dress code: no sports team paraphernalia, no basketball shorts or yoga pants. Jeans with a nice shirt are totally acceptable, though. It's New Mexico!
Anyone imbibing should be cautious of the 10,000ft altitude. One drink goes a lot further so high up.
Most of the ingredients are locally sourced. The quality is top notch. The service is some of the best in the industry--just be polite and they'll walk through fire for you.
Lastly, this is a see-and-be-seen venue. Money and fame are often seen dining here. Be considerate and leave them to dine in privacy.

I looked at the reviews before we took the Tram up to Sandia Crest and after we got there, i was very confused.
We went for lunch, and yes, there is a fine dining restaurant in which we were seated, but after discovering their was a full bar and casual dining… we moved to that area. The menu for lunch was the same in both areas.
The view from the bar/casual dining side is spectacular. The place is called 10-3 because it’s 10,300 feet in altitude. For us, the highest point we have been to on solid ground in our lives.
The food was fine, and yes of course, airport level pricing - my roommate had the brisket sandwich [see pic] and i just had the queso fries. We started with the fried pickles which were wonderful.
A great craft beer selection but i had the draft watermelon cider which was lovely.
The bartender was delightful and funny. Authentic and open. People really do make a big difference.
Speaking of which, a group of 3 ending up sitting next to us at the bar and after a single specialty cocktail, one of them said “Jim - text the rest of the group and tell them to go ahead and hike up to the stone cabin without us, i am not feeling well, maybe its altitude sickness”… then they all laughed loud.
We were there about an hour and many times heard peeps say, “OMG i had no idea this was here - everything said it was fine dining only”. The casual area and bar is the ski lodge vibe - simply fun.
For lunch, you don’t come for the food, you come for the experience. But like i said, the food was fine. The experience was wonderful!

This is an incredible destination restaurant. World renown views and a James Bond worthy trip to the top. This is an upscale restaurant, so be sure to dress up a bit and leave your ball caps at home. Use your best Gramma's house manners and keep it classy. This is a great gem of a place that deserves respect and your best behavior, so be cool, and enjoy yourself. The excellent professional staff will ensure you have a grand and unforgettable experience.
Just as beautiful as the view is, the restaurant is also amazing. Me and my coworker chose the casual dining option and sat on the north east side by the windows. Very beautiful views, drinks are amazing, food was amazing, bar tender was amazing, and waiter was amazing. Shoutout to the created of the tandoori ghost pepper sauce. That sauce was right up my ally. Everything was good and no complaints. If and when I’m in NM, I will be back again.
This restaurant is at the top of Sandia Peak mountains located north of Albuquerque, New Mexico. You must take the cable tram to the top if the mountain. There is a cost associated with the tram ride. When we arrived at the tram platform we went downstairs and saw the entrance to the restaurant. We noticed there were several people waiting outside. We went inside and put our name on the list about 15 minute wait . This was for a lunch and was first come first serve. Reservations are required for dinner. The area for the dinner is facing the Albuquerque view and city lights. We had lunch at about a third of the price and I enjoyed the food very much. The brisket sandwich and hamburger were very good. The service was excellent. The beer was excellent. The lunch area faces another view looking towards Santa Fe and Algodones. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Ordered the chicken wings with the tandoori ghost pepper sauce and the chocolate chip cookie casserole during casual dining hours.
The dry rub on the chicken wings was very savory, and the ghost pepper sauce was deceptively sweet with a stinging hot aftertaste.
The cookie casserole was a fun treat, but nothing crazy.
The trail crusher cocktail tasted like a margarita. Service was wonderful and the view was awesome. Pricey but a worthwhile experience :)
Joseph, our server, was most professional and knowledgeable about anything we asked. His suggestions weren't empty glorifications of the products. They were detailed and purposeful. He was very patient with us as well, waiting dutifully and even tossing tasteful jokes.
The restaurant is as to be expected. The food was filling, tasty, and left me feeling satisfied. I only wish I had room for more food. I had a limited off menu item. The ELK was beautifully cooked and presented. Other dishes in my party were superb as well. Everyone in my group was happy.
This is definitely a must if you're experiencing Albuquerque.
