This is an update to an earlier 5 star review, after my friends and I visited again.
JP has many restaurants where you not only can get good food, but have a good time. For me, at the top of the list for a good time and absolutely fantastic food is Ten Tables. The place is joyful, familiar and friendly.
We had mussels that were the best I ever had. The halibut was succulent and the brisket pasta was such a comfort food. Thank you Krista, Randy, Cristina and the staff for allowing us to have a wonderful evening.
Had a wonderful experience at Ten Tables.
Their cheese board was laid out beautifully. A mild, soft cow cheese with a sharp, hard goat cheese. A few jams, bits of fruit, olives, and honey complimented each of the cheeses.
I opted for the hanger steak as my main course. It was, without a doubt, one of the best pieces of meat I've ever eaten. This steak was so tender, it didn't know which state of matter it wanted to be: a liquid or a solid. Wonderfully salty and juicy, it's triggering some subconscious memory in my mind and making my mouth water.
The wait staff was professional and attentive.
The dining area itself is rather small. It seemed like they did have more than "ten tables", but it probably wasn't much more than that. If you want to eat here, I would *highly* recommend getting a reservation. There were people already lined up at the door as they opened for dinner.
While this is marked as a triple-dollar-sign restaurant, I'd consider it on the cheaper side of that category. An entree will only run you about $25, and you can get a tasting menu for only $50.
Calling all foodies. This neighborhood gem is not to be missed! Nice, cozy atmosphere with a well thought out menu selection and a good staff to make you feel at home.
Went to Ten Tables for a celebratory early evening dinner and had the BEST time! The food was delicious. The salmon was one of the best meals I've had in Jamaica Plain. Everyone in our party said the same about their meals. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Loved the homey, quaint, quiet atmosphere and being able to watch the kitchen. Will definitely be back, again and again. Thank you!
THE GREATEST STAFF, delicious food, creative cocktails, perfect soothing environment. A “10”. Oops, max amount of stars is five so it gets 5 stars. Loved hanging with Jessica, JoJo, and everyone in the kitchen last night. Best meal I’ve had in a year.🤩‼️
Charming, cozy, and classy, this place was the perfect place for me to get dinner with a long time friend. She ordered the chicken while I ordered the steak, both of us were MIND BLOWN by the food! Desert was decent. The real highlight was the service (thanks Krista!) they seriously know hospitality and do not play when it comes to fast delivery and well timed check ins. I will be coming back for a date in the future!
Amazing dining experience!!
We went to see the foliage in Harvard arboretum and decided to get dinner in JP.
First experience and definitely not the last! We enjoyed every bite .
The spaghetti was delicious but I would loved to have the sauce thicker to cover it but taste good
The lion risotto was super.. full of flavor
The stake was cooked perfectly
Deserts were great
Soufflé with basil ice cream
Taste freshness from the basil but not overpowering

🙌🏽5 star service
Good food and comfortable ambiance. Best for small parties. Below we're their Sunday dinner brunch. You can do a winner pairing for $20/person.
This place is crowded so plan for a wait. Food is wonderful, but know that the specialty pasta option is not avaliable at the tables, only the bar area. People seem to complain about that, but I can see a lot of reasons for it so just know that ahead of time and don't be upset. Also, the portion isn't big, but it IS delicious.
Drinks are great, staff is fantastic. This is one of my favorite places.
Excellent Cosmopolitan from the handsome bartender. The Fall Salad with poached pears, homemade grilled focaccia, and the gnocchi with braised short ribs were all wonderful. Key Lime Pie delectable. Very agreeable white Bordeaux. You really can't go wrong with this place. It is diminutive and charming, worth the trip, and the prices are reasonable. Well- deserved Google 5 stars.
