Ten Restaurant & Wine Bar

I had a great experience here. Service was great and the staff went above and beyond to give us that personal touch. Food was great and oysters were fresh. Great service, food and ambiance!

Still Underwhelming
I last visited Ten about 5 years ago (or longer) and at that time, you would have thought you were going to One in Yorkville, with a selective hostess, a fatal attempt at a tony club feel and food served by wait staff with an «edge». And at that time you wouldn’t dare ask for a table other than what you were shown to… unless you were a regular. Having heard that the restaurant/​bar underwent a renovation, I decided to try it out for drinks.
The bar area tries to take on a «Cheers» feel where everyone knows your name. The bartender reaches over uninvited with an out stretched hand to introduce himself. I think his name was «G», but who knows. His hand was large and rough skinned and I’m not sure, were it not implied to be impolite, my guest would have touched it. I think this was a lame attempt to instantly become your friend and get you to stay longer. The bartender at the King Edward Hotel or at the Four Seasons doesn’t reach out to shake my hand and neither should «G». Let your guests warm up to you, if they choose to.
The interior seems to be the same ‘dark’ design so I am not sure what the renovation involved so there may have been nicer areas. At 5pm, various important looking staff are circling the premises and preparing for old time local friends to come in and give them a hug when they arrive. I think this is great for the regular clientele but it makes new patrons feel like they’re outsiders, at least we did.

Terrible service, bad food, inexperienced wait staff/​management staff… and on top that, way overpriced! Servers were disinterested, apathetic, and slow. After sitting and waiting, had to go to the kitchen to request a server to come and take our drink and food order. Waited another hour before food finally arrived, despite there being only one other occupied table. Lots of wait staff but they seemed disorganized, lots of standing around, socializing. Quality of food really bad. Soggy salads, improperly cooked burgers and orders arrived incorrect. Rather than apologizing as the first response, she said that’s what we ordered. Did correct the order but took another 30 minutes to get food. Could see in to the kitchen from our table… very slow, not much happening. Was there over a year ago and had a bad experience then… figured we would try again, but shame on us for expecting change. Pretty pathetic… as downtown Port Credit is full of great new restaurants… try any one of them, except «Ten»!!

They just did a renovation that made their already great venue even better! There is a small stage area for their events and a second level for private events. I love their food and their service was spectacular. Our waitress was able to remember all the items we asked for including one when I stopped her to get something for us.
We will definitely come again. You would need to pay for parking on the street.

The food was horrible … waitress never asked about how the food was. seemed careless. restaurant looked pretty but both the steak and potatoe gnucci were horrible… very disappointed to have picked this place for our one year anniversary.. Def not going back… #upsetcustomer

I“ve went a couple times. Every time the service was horrible. I really wanted to like this place as it’s in a cozy location on Lakeshore.

Had a late night with the girls celebrating my bestie’s birthday.
I was excited to try out Ten since it had such a high Unilocal rating and it always looked inviting every time I drove passed it.
When we got inside I decided to «check in» w/​Yelp and a coupon for 15% off popped up. I asked the hostess what it was about and she said I should ask my server.
After we were seated, I asked him and he said he’d let me know.
The menu wasn’t very extensive but it did contain some staples. The drinks are on the pricier scale than many places I’ve been but we were there for a good time and it was a special occasion so i wasn’t too bothered by it.
After we ordered our drinks…
the shots were great. ($ 6ea)
The martini’s were VERY sweet. (At $ 13 ea.)
The Nachos were literally 75% jalapeños…and in a nacho bowl that got soggy very quickly. We regretted ordering them. Pricy and we left most of them.
The sweet potato fries were amazing, and the veggie spring rolls were very good too. Loved the peanut sauce!
The manager/​owner (no clue who he was) came by our table and explained the coupon issue. Said they had that deal from way before and he forgot to take it down. But that he would honor it.
The final bill came to $ 100+ and the discount was 7% not 15% but It might have been one of those deals that doesn’t include drinks… a small discount is still better than no discount.
I must say that the food presentation was amazing, and our server went above and beyond… he brought out a special birthday treat! Raspberry sorbet/​chocolate tartufo (italian ice cream). It even had a sparkler! What more could a birthday girl ask for?
I couldn’t pass up dessert and ordered myself a crème brûlée. (¹⁰⁄₁₀)
And my sis had the churro… Not bad.
Overall, I had a great night but mainly because my girls are a blast to be around. I might contemplate going back because the service was really great and the atmosphere is upscale.

I have driven and walked by this place multiple times and have always wanted to try it. Finally today, with all the Canada Day crowds out and about, we made an executive decision to sit down on the patio and watch the festivities and have a beverage.
Unfortunately I cannot comment on the food but we ordered a couple of the wine cocktails — Pinot & Peach and Riesling & Strawberry. Reading the descriptions they sounded perfectly refreshing for the hot day but I underestimated how incredible these drinks would taste. I’d return here for these exact same beverages over and over — and possibly try the food next time as well.

A quick update since there have been some big changes at TEN recently, namely to the décor and the menu.
The décor has been upgraded with a refreshed looking bar — there even removed the talk whiskey display cabinet in exchange for a more open looking aesthetic. There is new flooring, and even some of the tables have been replaced by extremely comfortable and elegant 4 – 6 person booths.
Décor is great but the menu changes were what really knocked my socks off. Many of the popular menu items are still there, but I was advised to try three of their new appetizers as shareable options.
1. Lettuce wraps with Seoul. Four to a serving, 2 – 3 bite but packed with flavor and of course… Beef! Loved it
2. Deep fried shrimp dumplings. Pretty good in terms of flavor and i loved the dip they were served in, and very crisp on the outside. I was looking for a little more shrimp inside but I couldn’t argue with the overall flavor and presentation.
3. Chicken and Waffles. An appetizer? I would have had 2 servings of this as a meal. This is the new best thing in their menu (maybe better than the lobster rolls? Maybe).
Great innovations. They’ve maintained their spot as one of my top spots in Mississauga.
Eatcrest out
Ps — great new beers in draft here as well including Brewdog!

We had actually planned to go somewhere else but ended up here. The food was very good and the service was prompt and friendly. If I lived closer I could see eating here more often

Only went here for a couple of drinks, so this is only a commentary on the overall ambience of the place and service. Quite a nice bar for Mississauga with decent music. Patrons range from middle-​aged couples to bachelorette party-​goers. The bartenders were good, especially Ryan, who immediately asked for our names and introduced himself despite it being busy. I liked the vibe until around 11pm when it turned into a club with extremely loud music and a dance floor. But hey, diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks, right?

Nice environment. Cold food. We lost our waitress and no one cleaned our table after the means. Would come back if drinking only. Maybe.

Nice atmosphere and location, prices are on the higher side with small portions, promo code on Unilocal expired 10 months back and not removed or replaced.

Absolutely flawless and seamless organization!!! Booked a surprise party in the loft area in November and was so impressed! From booking the reservation to paying the bill in the end — the experience all in all was just fantastic. We were easily accommodated and reassured about our booking, and once we arrived the staff was absolutely fantastic and the service was thorough. This was my first time here and I cannot wait to go back and try it it again!
Good job to all the staff, our entire group was blown away and will definitely be back for future party bookings as well!

LOVE, LOVE this Place… A favourite on my List!!! Very Classy, you won’t find all 20 year Olds there. Great DJ, A bit on the Pricey side though!!!

Good food, horrible service. If your waitress is Tonya RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!
Very over priced. We had been here years ago but it looks like thing have gone down hill.
The manager however was very nice and she did rectify the issue with my meal. Too bad she couldn’t replace my waitress.

Certainly for my meal Ten was a One.
What are the chances that 3 years after my first visit we’d be seated in the same exact table (not a terribly good one by the kitchen door) and have it turn out to be, as the meal progressed, a sunset nightmare. The two seated opposite me could not even open their eyes wide enough to see me by the time our mains was finished.
The starter was an outwardly homemade soup that was completely devoid of taste?
A ravioli style dish with a slapped together Bolognese sauce that tasted «different»? I’m not sure if they forgot to cook the pasta itself or if this was the chef’s choice (a very bad one).
The people who joined me enjoyed their meals marginally more and thus two starts but that does make me a little uncomfortable to bestow.
This is a physically tired spot that I understand the owners wanted to sell only a year or two after opening. Perhaps they should have.

I’ve been here many a times for their night life, which is fun but nothing too exciting. Today we decided to come for a late afternoon/​early evening glass of wine and some appies… And I must say I far prefer them in their wine bar identity. Their house red was the Santa Carolina Cab-​Merlot blend and a totally steal at $ 1/​1oz. We also got the lobster poutine and two pulled pork sliders. The lobster poutine was yummy and well priced at $ 15 but the flavour of lobster meat was a bit drowned out by the gravy (maybe could have used some more cheese curds too). The sliders were delicious, and we actually got a second helping of them! I love that you can order them individually at $ 4 each.
Service was friendly and pretty fast (though I think we may have been the only ones there); overall a good experience. I was a tad weary that a «club» wouldn’t have the best food but I was pleasantly surprised and will be back again (maybe for jazz night!!)

Sexpensive! And I don’t understand why people line up to hang at Ten on Saturday nights. I’d just go to Downtown. Regardless, I’ve had some of the best martinis at Ten. It used to be half-​price on Fridays. Not sure if they still do that.
The food’s good too. Don’t expect generous portions though. I don’t know if I would call this a fine dining but it’s close. The ambience is dark, sexy and the seating is nice. And I’m not smoking anything, but I swear I feel this «groove» every time I am there.
Tip: Dress in black… Don’t know why, it just fits!

This review is long overdue. I went to Ten a few months ago after I bid on a tasting menu dinner that they donated for charity on a blog that I follow. I had heard nothing but good things from some of their regulars (who are also awesome food bloggers who’s reviews I trust) so I was excited to check the place out.
The meal my girlfriend and I experienced was by far one of the best dining experiences I have ever had living in Toronto. Course after course, each dish was not only cooked perfectly, it also tasted amazing too!
The meal included an incredible charcuterie board, house made zucchini loaf which tasted like banana bread, gigantic arincini, arttic char, crab bisque, duck & noodles, pork tenderloin and an artisan chese board!
We left more than stuffed and the last item on the tasting menu was some house made chocolate truffles to take home.
I can’t speak too much about their regular menu, but I believe you can order this menu if you plan it in advance with the chef.
The staff were all extremely kind as well and checked in with us constantly throughout the night.
We also tried a couple of their cocktails to start and both were gigantic and great value compared to what you get downtown Toronto.
I look forward to returning to Ten soon to try some other items from their regular menu to see if it is as good as the stuff on this special menu.
