BarFly's Review of ten 01
Attractive servers liven up an otherwise booooring bi-level lounge. Decor is McMansion master bath chic - beige on beige on beige, accented with cheesy panes of etched glass, hung like free-floating shower doors over the bar. You might expect Tony Soprano to shuffle by in his bathrobe anytime.

I almost went to 10Ten for a drink on New Years Eve but looked it off and went to Jake's. The cost was about the same but the servie was good at least.
If someone over chages me, I try to handle it respectfully as an error, and if they don't figure it out, then it's time for a shake down!
We checked out ten 01 on a whim, after we couldn't get into our intended destination because it was full. My man wanted a really good glass of wine, and we'd heard ten 01 had a great selection. Their list certainly was impressive. I had a decaf soy cappuccino ($3.50), which was pretty good but not Peet's-caliber. My man had two glasses of Cab ($11.00 each). He raved about neither. Just before midnight, the crew distributed noise makers, party hats and strings of gold beads. At midnight they poured cava (mediocre). When we tabbed out, the barkeep charged us for three glasses of wine when we only had two, so we had to wrangle over the bill. The barkeep who charged us incorrectly didn't come talk to us--he sent one of his comrades, who kept saying, "He's pretty sure he poured you three glasses." My man concluded the fella was under this wrong impression because we had to ask him about five times for the second glass. Ultimately, we got out of there for $30.00
