    Hello? We've been seated for 15 minutes! Tonight came in at 4:07 (just after they opened). Initially we were told without a reservation, we couldn't be seated. This was mind boggling as there were only two tables sat inside. The hostess changed her mind and suggested, "select any table you want." The hostess asked if we wanted still or sparkling. My wife suggested sparkling. Presto. The hostess brought us some water. Then we sat around for 15 minutes. We could see two wait staff gabbing by the bar. We saw other tables being attended to. We didn't even get a, "I'll be right there in a moment" from anyone. We stood up, tossed a couple $1's on the table. We walked out, even passing some manager type in a nice suit who couldn't care less. Pre-Covid-19, this was one of our favorite Boulder hot spots. It's a shell of what it once was. Terrible service. Terribly disappointing.

    Brasserie Ten Ten was always one of our favorite restaurants in Boulder. Great French cuisine at reasonable prices and with an excellent atmosphere. We were so disappointed when it had to close years ago and absolutely thrilled when we heard it was reopening. When looking at the new menu we were totally bummed to see the high prices! Eg $7 for an oyster? Salad Nicoise $29? And Steak Frite $30? $20 for a glass of red wine. No happy hr either. Plus a 4% kitchen fee will be added to the bill. Dinner for 2 people easily would hit $200. Ouch. Brasserie was an absolute gem. Unfortunately these prices push it into a new category. Yet another overpriced restaurant in Boulder catering to the new tech elite moving in to Boulder. What a shame.

    Just not the same. My favorite restaurant and was devastated when it shut down and beyond ecstatic when we heard it was reopening. I will say the owner/manager was lovely and accommodated us and our baby so well! But unfortunately the food just isn’t the same. The half chicken wasn’t like the old and I feel like there are very few options now. Just not great food for the price. So bummed to see it change so much and wish they had kept the old menu. Additionally, not psyched on being charged $4 for a side of aioli for French fries on a very pricey meal. Wish it was better food, but had a great martini and really enjoyed the conversation with the manager!

    SO disappointed! Went to Brasserie 10-10 for the first time last night since they closed due to Covid. There were 6 in our party so we pretty much sampled the entire menu: fish, steak, duck, salads, mussels, fries, etc. Not only has the atmosphere changed so it feels pretentious, but the prices are ridiculous. It was $400+ dollars not including tip - we each had one drink or glass of wine, no dessert. And what kind of french restaurant doesn't have baguettes and charges $6 per small plate of bread? We had to order two plates just so everyone could have 1 slice. Everything was edible but that's about all I can say about it. I've included one photo of the fish with under-cooked inedible green beans. No pasta, no rice, no potatoes = $45. I wouldn't mind paying if it was spectacular but this was all just mediocre. We won't be back - and we were once/week regulars before Covid. So sad.

    I’m sure re-opening is difficult. We waited patiently for 20 minutes for two seats at the bar only to have them swooped in on and taken by two people who had just walked in (while we were being led to the seats by a hostess!) ... staff response: “sorry, bar seating is first come, first served.” thanks. very disappointed and not terribly interested in trying this place again.

    The service was wonderful. The mushrooms tasted waterlogged with no flavor. The duck breast was tough but only the duck leg was edible, with taste. The salad niçoise and steak tartare was good, not great or outstanding. The shrimp cocktail was mediocre at best. For the $200+ price, we expected outstanding for Boulder, Colorado. BTW, do not eat here if you have celiac or need true gluten free!

    My experience at Brasserie Ten Ten is a perfect 5/10. Nothing is terrible about it but nothing is great either; this includes the service as well. We went for a special small celebration just 5 of us and while drinks were got very quickly that service did not hold true for the rest of our meal. We only had our waters refilled twice after the initial pour, both times we had to specially request a refill only to then wait about 15 minutes for them to be refilled, this was the same for alcohol and soda. When it comes to the food it was just ok. All 5 of us found most of the food we ordered underseasoned and somewhat bland but not bad. We ordered Gelato and Beignetts, the Gelato was really lovely but the Beignetts well; they just weren't Beignetts, they were more like churrow doughnut holes. Over all I can't particularly recommend Brasserie but I also can't say don't give it a try if you want. Temper your expectations and don't expect the best french food ever.

    I was visiting Boulder from out of state and ate here on my last night, to cap off my trip. It was a great decision. My cousin, who goes to CU Boulder, said I had to come here and she was absolutely right. The restaurant is elegant, with very knowledgeable and friendly staff, and delicious food. We started off the meal with a tomato bisque and a French onion soup which were both incredibly flavorful. Our chicken entrees were covered in just the right amount of sauce and my fries were seasoned perfectly. It's not a huge restaurant, it's very cozy, so I recommend making reservations. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back!

    I literally broke down and cried when B1010 closed during covid, thinking it was gone forever. I was bummed when I heard they were open again but didn’t have happy hour. Today I discovered that happy hour has returned. And I just ate the most delicious pate and mussels that were ever to be eaten. It was worth all the wait and tears. I’d like to buy 5 more stars so I can give them ten. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Charming atmosphere in Brasserie Ten Ten. My post is making note that if you anticipate a savory French onion soup, you'll be disappointed. I found the soup to have a serious kick to it, but I couldn't decide if it was because of cayenne pepper (the soup was reddish) or white pepper. I was grateful for the melted cheese on the bread on the top to help with my burning mouth. I guess I know now to ask other restaurants if their French onion soup is spicy. Never have experienced that before.

    The food and the service here is out of this world. Probably the best French food you can get in Boulder and this place is perfect for a little date night or if you just feel like treating yourself!

    Amazing brunch menu. Poached eggs with duck confit divine. A perfect flaky French croissant. Very busy, suggest making a reservation!

    A completely unexpected find in Boulder. In my experience French food in the US is a hit or miss proposition - either really good or just meh (come to think of it, it's like that in Paris too). BTT is better than not bad and actually pretty good. I went for the onion soup and found the broth to be deep and flavorful. The hollendaise on the eggs benedict was terrificly rich. The salad greens were fresh & crispy and the sour & salty vinaigrette dressing provided a delightful contrast. I would definitely visit again.

    Brunch at 10-10 gave me a sense of being in Paris on a smooth, sweet, summer day. Waffles with chicken, thick bacon and peach syrup was so staggeringly excellent. There are not too many restaurants that even bother with breakfast so this one is made very special by its culinary effort and lovely, breezy, mountain air. We wanted to sit on the little patio that was lined with geraniums but was told it was reserved. The waiter was a little inattentive and not the least bit friendly but he delivered the plates of hot food and I have no complaints about that. Picture Paris only in Colorado and you're at 10-10.

    The food here is expensive but not worth the price. The service is very so so. Tried the scallop and the lamb. The scallop is boring. The lamb is ok but it’s very expensive. I also dislike the 4% kitchen appreciation fee… Can I choose not to appreciate them please?

    Incredible cuisine and service. We are so glad this favorite Boulder restaurant has reopened - it's better than ever! While you can't go wrong with the French onion soup, steak frites, duck...consider the specials. Recently, scallops. They were succulent, fresh and beautifully paired with orange, avocado and a buttery rice. The dish was spring on a plate. Can't wait to see what Chef dreams up for summer!

    It's been many years since I dined in France but lunch at Brasserie TenTen certainly brought back many delightful memories. The food is delectable and beautifully presented, the atmosphere calm and inviting, and the service just the right amount of attentive. And a glass of bubbly rosé added to the open air summer ambience and relaxed dining experience.

    Great food and service in a very loud atmosphere + a terrific show of how to run a good restaurant akin to “The Bear” TV series

    Brasserie Ten Ten makes you feel right at home and classy at the same time. Its seemingly effortless service combined with fresh flavors make it one of our new favorites in Boulder and beyond. We sat across from the kitchen and were mesmerized by the efficiency of their team. Owning a restaurant of our own, we are very impressed with the Romano Family for creating this gem — very charming. It was one of the nicest nights out we’ve had in a while.

    Went here for dinner with my mom who was visiting and we loved it. The staff is so kind, especially one of the waitresses, I cant remember her name (my mom loved her). The chicken was fantastic and there oysters were good as well(and that coming from a native Californian). Would definitely return again.

    Excellent food and atmosphere and we could hear each other talk. We enjoyed dinner so much last night, we came back Sunday morning for brunch.

    We were so excited to see that Brassiere Ten Ten reopened and after only being there once before years ago we were eager to go back and get some extraordinary food! We went early, 4 pm, so we could partake in the happy hour menu - we were a party of 4 and ordered one of each of the hors d'oeuvres and a French onion soup. And crème brûlée and pistachio gelato for dessert. It was the perfect amount for all of us to enjoy and in a word it was… spectacular!! The entire staff there are great and our server Luke was excellent, attentive and friendly! So thankful they’re back and we’ll be there again soon - Highly recommend!!

    We stopped in on a busy Friday night without a reservation. We were warmly welcomed and promptly seated at a hightop in the cozy bar area. The service was outstanding. We shared the Classique salad, onion soup, onglet, and (do I hear angels singing?) Opera cake. Everything was superb. We loved it and can't wait to return!

    So nice to be back at Brasserie 1010. We held our company Holiday Dinner there and everything was perfect. The vibe was festive and vibrant, service was great and the food was on point. Welcome Back Brasserie!

    Absolutely thrilled that they reopened! Fantastic and delicious food and the best customer service! The staff US so friendly, so welcoming and always going to suggest drinks and food for you to try.

    This was one of my favorites before CoViD, as it was with many. I was so excited that it came back. It is a lot more expensive now. The duck two ways was delcioso. The steak frites was 3.5-4/5 stars. Dessert and drinks were delicious. Service was excellent. Saw some negative service reviews. Idk if they responded to these with more staff? I actually felt like the staff were so abundant and attentive that they were looking for ways to swoop in, and yet were never intrusive.

    Brasserie is a Boulder fav. It's been in town for a long time and the quality has varied over the years, but for the last year or so, they have been on point. Great for brunch and awesome for happy hour. Awesome ambiance and outdoor seating. Food is legit French fair, from oysters on the half shell to tartar. Great bone marrow and awesome salads, especially the simple salad. Also great tea and coffee. Tea served in a pot with all the accoutrements. Staff is friendly and very pro. Make a res. if you can, especially for weekend brunch. They can also take your name and text you. Highly recommend!

    Amazing French food at very fair prices. Best chocolate mousse I've ever put in my mouth and the cocktails were amazing! Lovely atmosphere as well. Very worth the visit!

  • 5/5 C V. 6 years ago on Google
    MUST VISIT!!!! The best ambiance of Boulder downtown. Service is outstanding as well the taste in all the dishes and drinks. Price is way fair. This totally was a breath taking breakfast I ever had. You want to make sure to have a reservation before showing up. even if you have to wait its a worthy experience.

    Great place for happy hour and dinner. Coming here from nyc, restaurant don’t sit you at the dining area when you order from happy hour menu. This place gives you to options. The service was good. Food was good. We ordered three apps and one entree, which they split for us for sharing. We got the escargot, which was ok. The pesto was too heavy. The bone marrow was good and the beef tartar was good. One last thing, the bread was amazing. Highly recommended place to eat.
