Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Placitas

Wonderful restaurant and stunning views! I wish there was clearer communication about how to get to the restaurant on the tram, I had been told from the restaurant instructions to arrive at least 30-45 minutes before my reservation but the tram runs frequently and it only takes 15 minutes to get up the mountain, I was 30-40 minutes early and they were booked and unable to take us earlier so I had to wait a bit, which is expected and not a problem but I thought that it would’ve been nice to not arrive that early as recommended. Food and service was amazing but please bring a warm jacket or winter coat as it’s -5 degrees sometimes outside the tram!!

We did the preselected menus first two and it was amazing. I don’t care for squash but the winter squash soup could change that. Smooth, perfect temp and the garnish took it to the next level. Duck was perfectly prepared. Our serve was attentive with out being intrusive. Great evening

We went for a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day & the food was AHmazing! The ambiance was nice & we also had excellent service. The chef made an amazing menu for dinner. Just excellent & a lovely meal.

We had an amazing time celebrating Christmas Eve at Santa Ana Cafe. The food was amazing and the ambiance throughout was beautiful and so festive. It was a wonderful time as a family!! Merry Christmas to all…

We chose to dine at Blade's Bistro with our daughters who were visiting from out of state, even though it had been a while since my wife and I had patronized the establishment. We were met by a very friendly young lady who promptly seated us at a table set for three instead of four as reserved via Open Table. She quickly remedied the issue. Our waiter, Nick, introduced himself and set us off on a dining experience we will not soon forget. He displayed great humor, had good banter with the table and was so knowledgeable of the menu items and specials for the evening. He even talked us through the NM liquor options available for drinks. From the appetizers to the main courses ordered through the deserts, everything was excellent! I highly recommend Blade's for a wonderful night out.
