Review 20ten City Eatery - Regina

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!

Great crab cake! Good service. I ordered beef for main dish, the meat with no exaggeration was more than 90% fat. I had to dig and keep searching for a piece of meat to eat. Definitely overpriced.

I had the most horrible experience here for my birthday. This was my third time being here and it was horrible ALL 3 times. The staff was rude, and we were placed at a very horrible seat. When we asked to be moved or accommodated, they refused. The food sucked terribly and the drinks are horrible. The manager was less than helpful. It’s definitely a place to go for the views but NOTHING else. The food and customer service is insanely terrible. I can’t believe they have any good reviews…

I really wish I could leave zero stars! Worst restaurant experience ever. Service was horrible, drinks were watered down, food portions were small and the chicken I ordered was dry and flavourless. The manager did not seem to care about his customers and dismissed all our complaints. Our server initially told us we could eat our birthday cake then all of a sudden we weren’t allowed to eat our cake cause it was “outside food”. As a result of this, our cake got destroyed. This place isn’t worth the hype!

Food was disappointing for the price. Risoto flavourless and salty, using button mushrooms that may well have been from a can. The side vegetables to steak and pork were underseasoned and potatoes dry. We heard the peopercorn sauce was to die for however it was a simple gravy. I've made better on my barbecue. The views are nice at the patio however the prices aren't justifiable. The cocktails were skimpy, one of the worst palomas I've had and pretty sure it was with Sunripe grapefruit juice. I'd expect a better and more dedicated experience from a rooftop patio and although they've given their best try it falls short of the mark like most Regina steakhouses.

Absolutely top marks for 20Ten City Eatery. The ambience and atmosphere was outstanding, the service was fantastic, and the food was first class. The quality, presentation, creativity, and flavour of each of the dishes were exceptional. There was a lot of thoughts put into each of the plates. 20Ten City offers second to none, the finest dining experience. Highly recommended.

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!

I went to this restaurant with high expectations for a great evening. What my girlfriend and I ended with was such an unsatisfying experience. Well, from the start, they had our reservation messed up and had us waiting for a table even though we called in. The staff then moved us in an annoyed and hurried rush from our initial table with a wonderful view to one tucked far away in the corner with arguably the worst view from the rooftop. We were served warm glasses of water on a particularly hot evening. We were not served right away either and had to wait almost a half hour before having our orders taken, all the while watching our server tend to other tables who showed up well after we did. Our food took a concerning amount of time, and it had gotten dark by the time our food came. Our appetizer did not even arrive before our entrees did as they didn’t even put it in together with our order to begin with, apparently. On top of all of that, try cutting a steak on a very uneven, wiggly table. It’s almost comical! Our server was still quite professional with serving us, but I didn’t feel a personal connection with him; it didn’t seem like he was SERVING us, rather just there to take our plates away (that is, whenever he shows up to our table, once in a blue moon). There was no compensation for the sub-optimal experience we had that night. Only an expensive bill that was not really seeming worth the price. I really wanted to like 20ten, I really did. Unfortunately this night has just left a bad impression on myself and my girlfriend. Please, 20ten team, consider our complaints and adjust your service accordingly for your future service. I’m happy for those who loved their dining experiences here—I just wish we had could have shared the same outlook. I stand firm with my one star review.

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!

My husband and I usually avoid the Valentines' hubbub but when I was told about this restaurant's special Valentines' menu we thought we would give it a try. We have enjoyed dining here a few times before and have never been disappointed. It was well worth it! Our coats were checked upon arrival and were offered the valet parking. Nice touch for downtown dining! Our service was attentive without being invasive and the meandering guitarist added to the ambiance. The entire meal was amazing! It is such a refreshing change from a chain restaurant. Each dish was plated beautifully and the food was cooked to perfection. My appetizer was Brome Lake smoked duck breast salad. Delicious. My entree was pan seared Sable fish with beet creme fraiche. I loved everything about this dish! For dessert I chose the taster platter of 4 mini desserts. A perfect finish to my meal! Before leaving I was given a rose and chocolates. This was a perfect romantic Valentines' dinner and I would definitely do this again next year! A big thanks to the entire staff for a lovely evening! If you are looking to try a unique small restaurant with a constant changing menu, give this place a try!

Went there for New Years Eve dinner. It was our first time and I have to say between the excellent food, wonderful guitarist, and incredible atmosphere, the staff was amazing. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived. We will definitely recommend dining here to everyone! Oh, almost forgot, they actually have a red Moscato in their wine list! Amazing!

This is a fantastic restaurant! The service, food quality and unique decor will have me coming back over & over! I come to Regina for work 12+ times annually, this is by far the best in the city! Fine dining at its finest... and that wine selection though. It's spectacular!

I was in Regina for a business event and was absolutely pleased with my experience here! From the manager Steve to the wait staff and the kitchen staff and Chef Jure! If you are looking for innovative, refreshing, unique, fresh and delicious experience then 20 Ten is a MUST! The patio is also INCREDIBLE! Enjoy top quality with THE BEST view of Regina! 10 stars from me!

Decent eatery in downtown Regina. Server was incredibly friendly and on top of things (we were a group of 16). Had the morrocan lamb wrap which was a good portion and was fine. Touch more braising, seasoning and sauce would have been better.

The patio makes this place one of the most unique places to eat in Regina. Delicious flavors with prompt & courteous service, thank you for the excellent meal!

Highly recommend. Amazing food and drink. Excellent service and cool vibe!!! Had a drink with the owner which was fun!
