    Celebrated a friends birthday. The waiter Kyle was excellent. He went out of his way to see if substitutions can be made. The drinks and food were exceptional. This was my 3rd time having dinner there. Would definitely recommend it for any specialty occasion.

    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!!
