Ate there quite a while back. I think the Chef has changed. However, at the time, the steak we had was delicious. We are not huge meat eaters, but know a good steak--and it was. More

Good restaurant in a very old 1920's building. Menu was fairly extensive and service was very efficient. The food was of a good standard and price, in my view a perfect balance of quality and price. The portion sizes were also perfect because in many places in US they substitute quality for quantity, this was perfect with a good quality... More

Have eaten at many of the restaurants in Lawrence over the years and I think they are generally accurately ranked. But this place deserves an even lower rating than it already has. Shame too, it has nice decor, great location and lots of potential. I interacted with perhaps 5 different people including the manager and would say that there was... More

Ordinary. Expensive. We decided on one more try, but I'm finished now. The fish entrees were ok. Shrimp scampi was a pool of liquid in the bowl. Crab cakes were fishy and greasy. Pomegranate salad dressing was oily and tasteless. Such a shame. More

Just what I had hoped for; a great medium rare steak, fresh vegetable sides. Very pleasant venue, attentive service, the high point of my trip. Great martinis at the bar next door. More

I certainly wish we had given you more to write about. We always strive to exceed guest expectations and do in fact pride ourselves in being a prime (and one of the only) places to indulge in a steak on Massachusetts St. Thank you for taking the time to review TEN Restaurant. More

Somewhat pricey for dinner but food is excellent. Sunday brunch is superb with a variety of fresh salads, meats from all categories, and save room for dessert! More

Went to the Eldridge Hotel restaurant "TEN" for a mid-week birthday celebration dinner with my spouse. It was 5-stars from the minute we stepped in. Delightful, pleasant, knowledgable, attentive staff & hostess desk. Creative seasonal menu recipes appeal to every taste. Extensive wine list. Steak that melts in your mouth. Beautiful, relaxing, clean, romantic atmosphere with cozy booths makes you... More

I hadn’t eaten at TEN for several months since the last time I was there it wasn’t up to par compared to other options in downtown Lawrence. Due to its convenient location, my family and I tried their buffet on Saturday, and it was a disaster. Where to begin … (1) When we arrived, nearly half the items were out... More
