| - My experience with Ten Penny was really disappointing. Besides the relaxing decor, this place needs a lot of work.
We started with the Mega Meatball, which had decent marinara and ricotta. I got the porcini ravioli with mascarpone, which wasn't ravioli at all. Instead, it was giant sheets of pasta dough folded over. Each of the four "raviolis" was about six inches wide. The mascarpone itself was way too tangy and rich (it didn't seem to have anything added to it). The sundried tomatoes were really hard and they didn't add to the dish. It was lazy.
My husband got the flounder, which might have been the worse presentation I have ever seen. It looked like something that you would get from a diner for $8. The side of mashed potatoes was under-seasoned and unimpressive.
The "creme brulee" had no hard shell on top and it tasted like frozen cheesecake. Drinks were okay--too expensive (9.50 for a gin and tonic, and no questions from the server about what gin was preferred).
Costs here are astronomical for the quality of food that you are getting. In the end, we spent about $150 for an appetizer, drinks, entrees with one side, and dessert. That wouldn't be bad if they put care into their food, but they don't. Go somewhere else!
