    Great food, awesome service, superb desert. Table of 4 next to us were very noisy, but made us laugh a few times. We've been coming here since 1998...still our favorite NM restaurant.

    The experience at TEN 3 was amazing. The service was excellent from beginning to end. Our waiter was knowledgeable, cordial, and very attentive. The ambiance was one of the best I’ve ever experienced with the wonderful fireplace to the lighting and space between tables, not to ignore the most beautiful natural ambiance of all…the sunset and the lights of Albuquerque and surrounding areas!!! That made the entire evening an unforgettable experience. Our group had 4 different amazing entrees, wonderful drinks, and very tasty desserts. I will do it again!!

    Indigo Crow is always good. Been going there for well over 15 years. Had the Ahi Tuna salad and green chile cheeseburger for lunch - split with my wife. Highly recommend. Sit outside if weather permits. One of the Crown Jewels of the New Mexico dining scene.
