    Wonderful vibe around the bar. Excellent cocktails! I got the one with peppered beet and the one with carrot. Both very well balanced, unique without being strange. The food is A+. The tuna app was a perfect way to start. The shrimp and chickpea stew was warm, flavorful and a touch of spice.. perfect for a cold night. We also loved the cod in the banana leaf and the beef patty. Food has a LOT of flavor and a bit of spice.. which I love.

    Absolutely love this place! It's really quite an experience to walk into a place that has been thoughtfully created around the acoustics. We got there early before it was too busy so we could really hear the clarity of the quality speakers, appreciate all the sound dampening, in the vibe was super cool. The food was clean and fresh. The clarified drinks were the perfect pairing with the clarity of sound in the space. And the curated playlist was "a thing". All songs I've never heard but kept wanting to know who is this because it's on it so good. Definitely recommend.

    We reserved a table in the Back Bar section on Christmas Eve. We’d never been to Bar 10 but relied on the great reviews and we were glad we did! Everything was great-the table we reserved, the server’s friendliness and knowledge of the menu, and of course the food! Great relaxing place to have dinner, we will come again when we are in the area. Thanks for a great dining experience.
