DINE TWO MILES HIGH

No other restaurant offers such a unique mode of transportation to arrive at your dining destination. The 2.7 mile tram ride takes you through several climate zones on your way to the restaurant. Dining at 10,378'  in elevation with views of over 11,000 square miles is worth the trip in itself
But wait! The food and atmosphere are also worth the trip. View the fine wood-work and the gorgeous bar, while you enjoy our award winning menu. The lunch fare consists of half-pound Angus burgers, Salmon Club and other tasty sandwiches, or try the daily Quiche. The extensive dinner menu will satisfy the most traveled diner. From Prosciutto wrapped Sea Bass to the center cut NY Strip, we guarantee an excellent meal.
The Sandia Peak Tramway and dinner at High Finance is a must for any visitor, but locals also love to take a staycation and enjoy getting out of town and relaxing with a great meal.
We are now accepting reservations online through Open Table, for both lunch and dinner. With a dinner reservation and purchase of an individual entree (after 4:30) you will receive a discount on the Tram. The Tram does not offer a lunch discount except for reservations of more than 20.

New lunch hours

Saturday, April 17, 2010
We re-opened Friday when the Sandia Peak Tramway, www.sandiapeak.com completed their annual spring maintenance. We invite you to come up and try our new lunch and dinner menus. Chefs Crews and Kanella have created a menu to die for. Please view the menus by clicking on the menu header.
During maintenance Russ worked hard on building new table tops. The new table tops are marble and do not require table cloths; since we will not set the tables with tablecloths for dinner we are shortening the time between lunch closing and opening for dinner. From now on lunch will be served until 4:00 pm and dinner will start at 4:30 pm. We will not be open Tuesday for lunch until after Memorial Day.
We still have the drawing for Baillio's gift certificates coming up, so please fill out an entry form when you dine at High Finance. See you soon!

Valentine's Weekend

We will also be open for lunch on Monday and there will be skiing.

We received wonderful service and three in my group really loved their meal. I was disappointed with my meal because the menu didn't state that the entree I selected had onions and peppers, which I don't like. The management went out of their way to correct the situation. We would definitely recommend the restaurant.
