| - After attending the Yelp holidays party at Ten Penny, I was intrigued to try out a full meal. When left with my choice for lady's brunch, I quickly chose Ten Penny. We made reservations but, upon arrival, noticed that about half of the tables were empty. We ordered our drinks and settled into the soft booth. After checking out the menu, I noticed that there were tons of hearty brunch options (eggs, salads, meats) but very limited options for the sweet bruncher. My suggestion is to add a specialty french toast or waffle. I went with the carrot cake pancakes and added a side of bacon (which was only $2!). Our entrees arrived in an appropriate amount of time. My overall impression was that the food seemed a bit undercooked. The bacon was a little chewy. The pancakes were very heavy with the consistency of cake batter in the middle. I couldn't determine if this was intentional or not. Either way, it did not make for a light and fluffy pancake as expected. One of my dining companions ordered soup and a steak salad. She was very happy with her meal.
When we were finished, the waitress asked if we wanted dessert. I inquired about the oh so yummy chocolate truffles we were able to try at the Yelp event. I was hopeful to take them home with me and add them to the dessert platter for our family dinner with the in laws a few days later. The good news- they were available. The bad news- my favorite flavor, mint, had been replaced by a chocolate with goat cheese. What a disappointment. Apparently the flavors change weekly. I decided to pass. Overall, there were a few things I loved about my experience at Ten Penny and a few I did not.
