TEN TABLES . NET


			Krista Kranyak, Owner and Dining Room I created Ten Tables when I was 29 years old, after years of imagining owning my own restaurant and seventeen years of working in the industry. I have been open since 2002 and am very pleased with our success. I feel that Ten Tables is exactly what i envisioned-- a really good neighborhood restaurant serving high quality food in a fun, quaint, relaxed atmosphere . Whoever you are, wherever you are coming from, my goal is to make your evening thoroughly enjoyable from the moment you sit down at one of our ten tables. It is my pleasure to bring you the best food and service i can give. Welcome, and thank you for visiting.

			David Punch - Chef Food is my obsession. How lucky then to be a chef!!! Be it the earthiness of beautiful, hand-picked chanterelles or the fresh ocean smell of a locally caught striped bass, I pride myself on using the best ingredients available in my cooking. It is this passion that drove me to culinary school after working in a kitchen while a college student in Vermont. Since then, I have never looked back. Instead, I have spent my days happily working around the Boston area at restaurants such as The Nightingale, Upstairs on the Square and Rendezvous in Central Square. These experiences have given me the opportunity to hone my skills at crafting what I feel makes an approachable and delicious menu… flavorful ingredients professionally executed with a French flair… food that, put simply, just makes you smile. Ten Tables, I feel, offers the best of all worlds… everything a wonderful meal out can offer at an unbelievably affordable price. I am excited to join Krista’s team here at Ten Tables and invite you to join us for what we feel is a very memorable dining experience in our very special little corner of Boston.

			Joshua Caswell - Food My passions for cooking are rooted in my parents and grandmother, they were excellent cooks and I have fond memories of the food that was cooked for me as a child. Food is and has always been very important to me and my wish is that everyone could incorporate amazing, delicious food with every meal they eat. I truly believe that eating very tasty food is directly correlated with making people happy. I started my cooking career at Marché in the Prudential, where a series of people taught me more and more until I was teaching and directing others to make the best food we could there. I moved on to Ambrosia restaurant on Huntington, where I had the pleasure of working with Tony Ambrose who taught me what it means to be a professional cook and where the ethic of pride in my food was solidified and forever changed. I then moved on to City Feed and Supply in Jamaica Plain because I became more interested and drawn to the idea of a small business that focused on catering to the neighborhood wants and needs. While cooking at City Feed and Supply, I continued to educate myself about food through reading and experiencing the restaurants out and about in Boston. I discovered Ten Tables, and since, it has been one of my favorite places to eat. I was a repeat customer at Ten Tables for some time, it reinforced my love for a small business that concentrated on food quality and service. Now, it is a pleasure for me to be cooking here and to be a part of a restaurant that provides excellent food for the neighborhood.

			Shane Myrbeck - Dining Room Manager Iā€™ve arrived at Ten Tables after six years or so in the restaurant world, and Iā€™ve never felt so in tune with the conceptual philosophy of a place. Iā€™ve always maintained that mealtime should be a celebration - a joyous and delicious occasion. We all pull together here to make sure itā€™s just that. Itā€™s no small thing to be part of the energy and enthusiasm that makes a little scene like ours so inviting. Iā€™m happy to be here. See you soon.

			Jose Caldeiros - Dish Service (written by Krista Kranyak, Owner) Jose arrived in the United Stated from Brazil in May of 2005 and began working at Ten Tables in July of 2005. He has been one of my finest employees since opening my restaurant. I hired him as a full time dishwasher and never expected to inherit such a gem. He provides the most clean and efficient dish service I have ever witnessed in my restaurant career. Everybody that works in a particular restaurant plays a major role in the team but I believe that dishwashers are one of the most important jobs. If you don’t have a great dishwasher service falls short. Jose understands this and works just as hard, if not harder, than anybody that is a part of the Ten Tables team. He does it daily with an infectious smile and a strong, fun, passionate spirit. I am thrilled and honored to have him as part of the team here. He loves to be busy which means he loves when you, the customer, are here. In Jose’s words “cliente, mucho obrigado para todo negocio y ven otro vez”. English translation “customer, thank you for all the business and come again”.
