   It was our first time and it was fantastic! Service was great, ambiance was great and food was outstanding! The buratta was soooo good! We had the frutti de mare which my wife loved and I had the chicken mole. The chicken just melted in my mouth (skin and all). We loved it and cannot wait to go back.

   It’s kind of like knowing about a secret spot. Always a lovely drive over to Placitas… And they are always welcoming when you get there. Plenty of choices on the wine list & cocktails. The menu is small, but always interesting. Then there are specials…. Which adds to the possibilities. Everyone’s entree looked really good. I had Steak Frites which is not an exotic dish, But the steak was seasoned very well and tasted great. Ask about their ice cream flavors for the 3 scoop ice cream dessert… and maybe split that with someone- very good, but really rich. And I love walking out thru the patio courtyard with all of the tree lights. It is so pretty… One of these times, I going to time it right, and it won’t be windy, or cold, and the perfect spot to watch the sun set.

   It was crowded on a Saturday night but servers were pleasant and efficient. We had paella and it was truly wonderful.

   Sea bass was cooked perfectly. Everything else we had was delicious. Service was spot on. Friendly vibe/atmosphere. Hadn't been here in a year or so. Very glad to be reacquainted! We will definitely be back!!

   Blade's Bistro is a very nice restaurant, probably a best-kept secret. The menu has options for everyone, and the pricing is very reasonable. The most expensive entrée is just under $30. The staff is very friendly and relatable. The food is excellent and there are items on the menu that you can't just get anywhere. It's a really nice treat for a date night and worth the drive from Albuquerque to Placitas. We'll definately be going back on a regular basis.

   The sea bass was perfectly prepared and amazing. The Vouvray wine pairing was a great choice. It was a lovely evening and just what we needed. We love this Placitas gem and enjoy going there every chance we can.

    My family and I have been enjoying Blades for many years. This restaurant serves cook to order food that you can actually see being prepared by professional chefs. I find their menu to be versatile with options for many. The service is very good. One of the things I really appreciate about the servers is that they will give you an honest answer to questions. This is an owner-operated restaurant where detailed hospitality is given to make guests feel at home. Reservations are suggested.
