    Great food - different combinations and use of local foods. My mom got sick and couldn’t come with us, so they specially made her a salad and some bread for us to take home to her. Our waiter was super friendly and efficient. It’s a little pricey and kind of far to get to, but worth it. I recommend, especially for people who like to try different foods.

    We enjoyed an exquisite thanksgiving meal. The view is spectacular, the restaurant cozy, and the food was delicious and creative. I especially enjoyed the fried sage and the red chile caramel which accompanied the pecan pie.

    The food was fantastic! We had the wedge salad, Brie crostini, rack of lamb, shrimp and grits, and filet. Everything was wonderful. Nothing disappointed. Too full for dessert but the options sounded fabulous. Will definitely return!

    If you want a great meal - with plenty of good options on the menu - and a nice experience, drive up to Placitas and visit Blades. We live here and enjoy the convenience. Always consistent service and food with a good wine and cocktail selection. We were celebrating the start of a new business and this was the perfect place for it. The people are friendly and will remember your name. The place has a very comfortable feel. Not too big. Busy enough - because it is that good. My wife had the brie special appetizer which made her night. Never a bad choice to dine here.
