- KKathyNew Mexico •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe 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!!More infoTen 3Price: Very Expensive• American• Albuquerque•4.7
- SSherylNew Mexico •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLoved celebrating a birthday at Savoy! Seated in the fireplace dining area, so we were able to carry on conversations. Our request to connect to the sound system to enjoy the music that was playing in another section, was carried out. Our appetizer was the warmed brie which was delightful. We chose the filet mingon and the salmon which were both so tender and flavorful! The piece de resistance was the chocolate torte! So many layers and decadent flavors combined to make it a dessert not to be missed! We highly recommend Savoy for those romantic dinners and very special occasions.More infoSavoy Bar and Grill AlbuquerquePrice: Moderate• Californian• Albuquerque•4.7

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.More infoIndigo CrowPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Albuquerque•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinerNew Mexico •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe finished off our alphabet date with the an amazing dinner. Zinc wine bar and Bistro was amazing. We had a very attentive waiter Jessie. The food came out hot and on point. I could not find a flaw in any of the food except that it was so much, I had to take half mine home to enjoy tomorrow. We ordered the bread plate and seared rare ahi tuna to start. My husband ordered the cast iron seared wagyu flank steak and I ordered the grilled Atlantic Salmon. The chef in the restaurant knows how to season his food and his staff are very talented. We will be back to try some other dishes.More infoZinc Wine Bar & BistroPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Albuquerque•4.7
