We reserved a table in the Back Bar section on Christmas Eve. We’d never been to Bar 10 but relied on the great reviews and we were glad we did! Everything was great-the table we reserved, the server’s friendliness and knowledge of the menu, and of course the food! Great relaxing place to have dinner, we will come again when we are in the area. Thanks for a great dining experience.
