Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Placitas

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!!

Great food and great service. Always a wonderful experience - and I am glad the Corn Maiden is back!

Always a delight to be a customer at Blades!! They are so accommodating and so incredibly friendly and great at customer service. Food is always good. Love their staff-- that's what keeps us coming back again and again.

Three of us had lunch in the Santa Ana Café. The location and the ambience are excellent. Food was very good. One friend had two chili Rellenos and a cup of the green chili stew both of which she thoroughly enjoyed. Myself and our other friend both had the Santa Fe omelette. She added mushrooms. I added mushrooms and spinach. We were busy talking and not paying attention and the server did not ask for clarification … she ended up getting mine with the spinach and I ended getting hers without the spinach. We were both into them before we realized the error. Our waiter, Will, was excellent! The young man who served the plates pleasant and helpful, but that’s an error that should not have happened. For this reason I give four stars. We also had the green chili apple pie for dessert. Very tasty but disappointing as I said to Will, if I didn’t know there was green chili in there I wouldn’t know. Barely barely just a hint any less and there would be nothing so definitely did not qualify in my mind as a green chili apple pie. It was just apple pie. but, as I said, it was delicious, if a very small for the price ($10).
