Service was outstanding. Food was delicious. Had an array of appetizers, along with Caesar salads and pizzas. Drinks were delicious as well. Did their birthday package and that was a nice touch for the birthday we celebrated. Sat outside prior to sunset and was a bit cool as the sun went done and we did not sit at a fireside table, so bring a layer just in case.

We have eaten here several times and it never disappoints. From the friendliness of the greeting, the attentiveness and professionalism of the serving staff, to the consistent high quality of the food, Ten Steak and Sushi nails it every time. We have already made our next reservation.

Bottomless brunch for $18 was well worth it. Food tasted great and came in small enough portions so that we could try the whole menu.

Simple but tasty menu that had good portions. Service was great. The flatbread pizza is really just a small round thin crust pizza (which was good)

The food was amazing the atmosphere was great, the staff was super nice and the prices were very on point for the restaurant and the quality of the food you get.
