    Went on a special father-and-daughters dinner date at TEN Sushi & Cocktail, and once again, everything was absolutely top-notch. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like VIPs. Our server, Adonis, immediately recognized me and provided the same incredible service as always — attentive, kind, and truly a pro. The food and drinks were phenomenal, as expected. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — TEN never misses. And a huge thank you to manager Alexzandrya, who checked in throughout the night to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a spot that consistently delivers on food, service, and hospitality every single time — but TEN does. I absolutely love this place and can’t recommend it enough.

    We had Ezra as our server and he was fantastic, he was checking in in us even though we moved to another section of the establishment. He had recommendations and was very quick with our orders, all you ask for when it comes to coming for a quick round with a couple of friends.

    The food was awful, absolutely terrible. Crème brulee toast was so oily and not fresh, eggs Benedict the same, even not fresh, made with yesterday’s bread with greasy potato on the side, cold and with bad smell. Bad, very bad food. The place is so nice inside and outside seating, but the food was so disappointing that I was shocked.
