20ten City Eatery

I've been a huge fan of 20Ten since they opened their doors and eat there an embarrassing number of times per week. Service is incredible - the staff know the menu well, the wines, and get to know their customers. Speaking of wine...best wine list in downtown Regina by far. The menu is amazing as well! Try the steak sandwich, the bison burger, the Mosaic salad, the quiche and the crab cakes (did I mention I don't like seafood? Love these!). The Chefs are incredible - extremely accommodating and talented. I've used 20Ten for numerous corporate catering functions, from 5 to 3,000 people, and they've never let me down. Appetizer menu changes regularly. Watch for the coconut crusted jumbo prawns which taste like candy (did I mention I don't like seafood?). Prices are great for the quality, quantity, service and fine dining experience that you get. I have compared to many other downtown restaurants and this is by far the very best in my opinion. See you very soon 20Ten!

We had a wonderful evening here tonight! We reserved on the penthouse patio, gorgeous view of the city and a nice al fresco dining area. Seated initially in one of the banquette style seating tables - pro tip, if you have people in your party who are shorter, request (at time of reservation) to be seated at the traditional table and chairs seating. We asked if we could be moved, and our server checked with the hostess to make sure that there was a table available (that hadn't been reserved in advance) to seat us at. There was, but the restaurant was not as busy as one would expect on a beautiful Saturday summer evening, so we lucked out. We ordered drinks, Aperol spritz was well made, cold and refreshing. The Cucumber Basil Gimlet was stellar. Cucumber/basil were a perfect match for the gin, and citrus ingredients gave lively sweet/sour notes. Served on rocks, it was a welcome aperitif for a warm humid evening. Appetizers were shared; the Korean Kimchee Dumplings were delicious! Beautifully thin wrappers with pork and kimchee filling, steamed and served with a soy/sesame dipping sauce. The Giant Calamari Crown was a whole calamari tube, sliced into rings, delicately breaded and fried. Tender, tasty, served with one of the best aioli's I've ever had - smoky, savoury, slightly spicy with an herbaceous note I couldn't identify but really enjoyed. Crab cakes were homemade with a nice crust, pan fried and served with chipotle remoulade, good texture and taste. Bruschetta was good, the tomato topping was fresh and tangy. My only issue is that I prefer the baguette slices toasted or grilled and these were served 'au naturel', not my personal taste... Mains were the Double Cut Pork Chop stuffed with brie, pecans and dried cranberries (big appetite at the table), the Chicken Supreme with maple mustard glaze (for the smallest appetite). The pork chop was nicely seared, tender, juicy, served with a port reduction. The chicken was cooked perfectly on the bone; the glaze skewed more to being a sauce but it was quite delicious, more savoury than sweet, well balanced. Both were served with roasted baby potatoes that were creamy inside, and seasonal fresh vegetables cooked tender crisp, also tasty. Myself and the other member of our party ordered the fish special; pan fried Salmon filet with pineapple and apple salsa, seved with pecan fried rice and the fresh summer veg. The salmon filet was cooked perfectly, seared outside, moist and tender inside. The salsa was a fresh, tangy note that complimented the rich salmon. Pecan fried rice was astounding! A seemingly odd combination that was extremely yummy. We ate every bit of it😋 For dessert the large appetite had a Creme Brulee. The rest of us ordered one each of the three available desserts to share. Creme Brulee was nice, the custard was smooth, silky with perfect texture, the sugar crust torched to a golden brown that cracked satisfyingly when struck with the spoon. It was a hit with the creme brulee lovers at the table. The lemon tart had a light fresh filling topped with 3 individual meringues, lending a nice textural element. The crust was on the thick side and very difficult to cut into with the spoon, but the flavours were there. The absolute stand out was the Chocolate Torte! Dark, rich, decadent, sweet and bitter notes of the chocolate PERFECTLY balanced,SO GOOD Our server Tegan was excellent😊 Friendly and personable. We had 2 cocktails, a beer, 9 glasses of wine (couldn't agree on bottles!), 4 appies, 4 mains and 4 desserts. The bill, after tax and before tip, was 434$ We left stuffed and extremely happy. 5 stars, highly recommend...will eat here again next time I'm in town. 20Ten, you need to relocate to Vancouver where you would be truly valued and packed out every night...recent reviewers seem to lack a true appreciation for and/or familiarity with this style of food and dining!

Excellent food; orders of mussels and calamari for appetizers were done to the correct tenderness and were packing flavour. Main courses and desserts did not disappoint, with perfect portions, correctly cooked and satisfying. Appreciated the variety of drinks available, with amazing aromas and complex profiles. Service was good; knowledgeable, polite and attentive. Great restaurant for a night out!
