| - We went here for the Yelp's 10 Days to the Holidays party and really enjoyed the place. It's what you would expect in downtown- upscale and classy, decorated very nicely like an old warehouse, and extra decorations all around for the holidays. They were serving several 'small plates' appetizers but the smoked salmon pinwheels were my favorite. We also had jalapeƱo poppers and crab balls which were mediocre at best. Our bartender, Tony, told us that the food wasn't from their menu so they were probably 'feeling out' a new supplier. The poppers were full of some sort of stuffing with a very mild, very limp pepper inside. To me- poppers should have a little 'kick' at least at the end to let you know you're eating jalapeƱos. The crab balls were full of stuffing with a little crab flavor but on inspection, I could not see any actual crab inside. Again- these were not on the regular menu so I'm giving Ten Penny a 'Pass'. A table next to us, not involved with Yelp, was eating from the Ten Penny Hot Stone selections where a very hot stone like griddle is delivered to the table and raw selections of beef, chicken, shrimp & tofu can be ordered to cook it yourself, teppanyaki style, and eaten with seaweed salad and other accompaniments. My wife couldn't stop watching- giving me a 'play-by-play' as these 2 women enjoyed their 'Hot Rocks'. I think we'll have to come back just to try this dish.
Thank you Ten Penny for supplying the space for Yelp, we are now 'Fans'...
