| - After several dining attempts with Ten Penny, my family and I will not be returning. My mother and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch without a reservation and were seated at the bar. It took 15-20 minutes to get the bartenders attention to order cocktails and over an hour to receive our food after we had ordered. Upon receiving our food, the meal I had ordered was delivered without a side option as noted on the menu. I had ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese ($5 up-charge for pulled pork) and found 3-4 SMALL chunks of pulled pork at the bottom of my meal. We had also noticed that several other patrons at the bar had sent food back to the kitchen and had meals comped.
Just recently, had made a reservation for 11 people for a Sunday holiday brunch. Again, the service was slow and inattentive. Again, we waited over an hour for our food to arrive. Again, there were clearly many unhappy customers - no one sitting around us had any food! After finally receiving our food it was clear that it had been sitting under warmers for an extended period of time, as poached eggs were now hard boiled and eggs in omelets were hard with cold centers.
On a side note, my mother in law had contacted the managers several times to book a private room for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding - phone calls and emails were never returned!
Overall, poor experience, poor service, poor food. Would not recommend. Such a shame for a restaurant with such a great downtown location and creative space.
