This review is bar only. But it's a place you don't want to miss. The bartenders know their trade well. The corpse reviver is so well balanced. The Ten Classic is also very good, the bar's version of an old fashioned. It's a beautiful room too. read more

TEN - From the bar - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

We stopped by just for a glass of wine but plans changed so we stayed for salad & drinks. The decor is very nice and upscale. Our server was very polite but having to cover more tables. The salads were great and well priced. read more

Shout out to our server Whitney for making this a fantastic experience. Why are we not talking about the food and the atmosphere at Ten? Quite literally it's a 10 out of 10. This meal was top notch and the kind of dining experience where you feel like you have to unbutton your pants a little to be comfortable. I can't pick my favorite thing I ate tonight because it was all so good. Seriously, Don't skip this place. Let the hotel valet park your car and then go have a meal that is fit for royalty in a posh atmosphere. This is a great gem in downtown Billings. read more

Best steak I have eaten in years! Under new management/chef since last year and now the best place to eat in the city. Highly underrated. I would put it up against Ruth Chris. Also the beef is locally sourced. Beautiful decor and excellent staff and service. Super friendly. read more

I would not eat here again. Pictures of the food on here looked good & older reviews said it was as amazing so I was very hopeful. Let me start by saying the staff service was great. But the food was not worth the cost because of quality and taste. I started with a pound of shrimp cocktail, which I expected to be a version of a traditional shrimp cocktail however they chose to drown the shrimp in a spicy coating (I can take the heat) but this was in addition to some mayonnaise based sauce/aïoli under the shrimp on the plate of competing flavors, both of which clashed with the traditional horseradish cocktail sauce (three competing flavor profiles) This much masking tells me the shrimp must not be particularly fresh. Next, the 12 oz. New York steak. This had no flavor, no grill marks, & yet was overcooked. I think it must have walked here because it was one of the toughest steaks I've ever had. Paired it with bland, flavorless blown out pureed potatoes (consistency of applesauce). Seemed like there were made just with unsalted water- as in no salt, no butter no stock or cream. It was presented prettily on the plate with broccolini, but the taste was so disappointing. I always want to support independent local businesses, but honestly, I've had better steaks at lower end chain restaurants. At this price point, it's got to make it make sense. read more

It's 10pm in Billings Montana, and you want something good to eat, need a well made cocktail, and/or you're on a business account...TEN is where it's at. I've only visited the bar area, always staffed by friendly faces. The cocktails are great and affordable compared to my San Diego. Ambience is elegant, classy, romantic, and dare I say sexy? The crowd not so much... The $29 Steak Frites is perfection! The steak is tender and juicy, fries hot and crispy. I also had the $10 seasonal veggies, which was roasted veggies in a au gratin cheesy sauce, lovely! Not cheap, but worth the money! My pal ordered the $15 Brussel Sprouts, roasted divinely and seasoned to perfection, very shareable. My gal pal's $35 Chicken Mushroom pasta is amazing in a lovely bourbon cream sauce. read more

We had a very strange experience here. My husband ordered the risotto that came with pearl onions. He excitedly bit into one and the look on his face was priceless! They had used cocktail onions! It was horrible. We asked our server to check if that had been a mistake. He came back a few minutes later and told us that was how they served it. I find that hard to believe. I tasted one and about lost my appetite. Now I love a good cocktail onion in a martini but believe me they have no place in risotto! read more

So good the fry's are to die these are from 2 of the wine dinners. Excellent drinks. I love the bar side but the ambience is very romantic on the dinner side. Service is always great. read more

One of our favorite meals on our trip! Jasmine did a wonderful job taking care of us...very attentive and gave great recommendations. Hubby and I had Filets and they were prepared perfectly. MIL had scallops and said they were tasty. We ended our meal with some yummy Crème Brûlée. A nice meal with our family. read more

Food was amazing, and staff was even more amazing. They helped me make my proposal to my future wife, a special evening she'll never forget.

Staying at the Northern Hotel, and it was thunderstorming out, so decided to have a drink at the TEN bar, then eat dinner there. FOOD: We had four specialty cocktails, and each was quite tasty. The wine list was remarkable, though pretty high end. The Caesar salads for two were okay, though not as flavorful as a good Caesar should be. Everyone very much enjoyed their entrees and desserts. SERVICE: Top notch service (tip of the hat to TJ), though with the dearth of customers that made it easy for him to give us plenty of attention. AMBIANCE: To all appearance, posh and upscale. Quite pleasant. The only off note was that the chairs in the bar (and, to a lesser degree, in the dining room) had very worn cushions, so that anyone in them ended up sitting low and on the wooden sides on their hips. VALUE: Quite upscale -- our cocktails ranged from $14-22. The wine list went from $50ish up to four digits. Our entries ranged from $40-67. Not sure what the market is like in Billings, but that seemed a bit on the high side by Denver standards, esp. for the food. We were there first thing on a Thursday evening, and the bar was well attended, though there were very few patrons in the dining room; the food and service deserve better, though the price points might be keeping people away. I will keep this on my list of possible dining places should my path bring me back to Billings. read more

The food is great. Drink options diverse and original. Staff welcoming and friendly. This is one of always solid, always positive places that we visit when in Billings. read more

So we went to celebrate our son and his wife they just moved to Billings and wanted a special night on the town. We were greeted warmly and got to even pick a nice table at the window. Our hostess was our server And she was the only server in the entire restaurant. We order the burrata appetizer and drinks the appetizer arrived before our drinks. We ordered the pasta special, buffalo short rib and the halibut along with a Caesar salad to share. The salad was boring for a steak house. No croutons very little parmigiana and a lack luster dressing most places this is the best salad ever. Our meals arrived and the pasta was the best dish. The short ribs were dry needed a sauce. The halibut was nicely done but the risotto was dry. We ordered dessert it was delicious but overall it just wasn't wow on any level for over $300 for 4 reasonably priced but lackluster. Menu online didn't match the in house. read more

This is the best bar in Billings for cocktails. On Friday nights, Allison and Whitney are very friendly and make excellent drinks. The Oaxacan Fireside is my favorite, followed by the Smoked Sage Old Fashioned. The food top notch as well. The Pork Trio was amazing! That was the best pork chop I have ever had. read more

Had a lovely dinner for two here two Saturdays ago. The steak was cooked medium rare to perfection. It is about time somebody in Montana knew how to prepare a steak with all the beef around here. The appetizer was the oysters and they were oysters! She likes them. The wine list was extensive and has many great choices. The server was Gene and he was great and very professional. The atmosphere was great for a date night with my better half. The place can be very spendy, but it was a great night just before the comedy show at the theatre. Nice to have a cool evening walk from place to place. read more

This place simply does not miss. I am in time for work and staying at the northern hotel and the restaurant is attached to it. I have had the best, Bolognese, a ribeye, and a burger and everything was incredible. Absolutely delicious the bartenders and the staff were super nice. I cannot recommend this place and melt really really good. I am definitely coming back. read more

I just checked in to the Northern Hotel and after leaving my bags in my room off I went to the TEN bar. It was almost closing time so I ordered an IPA beer on tap and sat down and relaxed after that long drive. The bar is dark and the seats at the table are comfortable. The price for the beer was very reasonable for a hotel bar. read more

TEN - IPA on tap - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

I rolled into Billings after driving 1500-ish miles from Indianapolis in 30 hours (yikes). I needed more than the gas station beef jerky, potato chips, and warm Redbull I'd been mindlessly snacking on. Luckily, TEN Is attached to the Northern Hotel where I decided to stay (amazing place). I called the kitchen because I didn't see what I wanted on the menu and they said they had a New York strip for me. It was absolutely delicious, although possibly only slightly off from the temperature I ordered. Maybe it was just carryover-cooking because I took too damn long to take a picture of it before I horked it down. Paired with the Koonunga Hill Australian Shiraz Cabernet, it really hit the spot. High fives to the kitchen, including my man Andrew who helped me get it ordered and delivered it for me. Awesome service to match the food. Keep rocking it, TEN! I would have given you 10 stars but, alas, I'm only allowed five. read more

We were looking for a place for dinner and stopped in here since everywhere else was extremely busy. After waiting at the check in desk for nearly 5 minutes, one of the many employees in the area came over and told us there was only seating available in the bar due to a party coming in later. We sat at a table in the bar area and waited another 15 minutes but no one came so we ended up leaving. I understand that there are busy nights with events but not 1 staff member came through the bar area during our time there, and it seems like someone should be assigned there. I'll note too that the bar area was not even remotely full and I'm guessing it was because of the lack of service, others chose to leave as we did. read more

Having decided to spend Thanksgiving in Billings, I decided to take my two grandsons for dinner at the famous "10 restaurant".....I would have been better served had we made a donation at the homeless shelter down the road! $75.00 for an adult, $25.00 for children, this is high dollar for a buffet and calling it a buffet is a stretch....very simple and basic appetizers and everything else was very low end. The "mashed potatoes", almost dislocated my shoulder trying to get this mess out of the warmer, had to be the thickest and heaviest mashed potatoes ever made by man! The turkey? It was as dry as a carcass of a dead lizard you find in the Sahara Desert. The prime rib was so rare and tasteless as it could be, and at $75.00 dollars you only get the meat at a very very rare....NO MEDIUM NO WELL DONE...just this horrible presentation on your plate! Disgusting! The pastries were similar of what you might find in the dumpster at the closing of the day at the local High School.....All of it was terrible. The best part of the entire miserable experience was when I told Allison that the food was frankly not up to any standard, her response was "try us when we are open with our regular menu, it is a lot different " " a lot difference than this". Another great comment was that the 'hotel had the entire staff working and the tip would be split amongst all of them'. Paying your staff at your hotel is not my problem and please dont get me wrong. I am a great tipper for great food and great service....a BUFFET? I served myself, sure the water pours, the Pepsi refills and my one cup of coffee was just fine, JUST NOT $35.00 DOLLAR FINE! I HAVE ASKED FOR A REFUND FOR ONE MEAL AND BEING CHARGED $35.00 FOR GETTING WATER AT MY TABLE AND A CUP OF COFFEE PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE read more

The ambiance is very relaxed, great place to eat and have a drink. Food was terrific had a rib steak, with amazing cheesy potatoes. Steak was cooked perfect. The bartender Andrew provided great service. I recommend all to come and eat, or at least have a drinks. read more

We were in town for Mother's Day and brought mom here for brunch. She was a switchboard operator here at the Northern Hotel in the 1950's. This is the best brunch we have ever experienced. Everything is house made and delicious! Ambience is gorgeous and so relaxing. We wished we were locals to come more often. Thank you for such an enjoyable Mother's Day! read more

What on earth happened to this place? The beautiful million dollar lobby is now run down & very dirty. The Ten restaurant resembles your typical inexpensive truck stop restaurant. Unvacuumed carpets with large particles of food all over the place. Dirty & dusty tables & chairs. The employees are the same as what you expect @ your local fast food Arby's & McDonalds. The food is low quality similar to Pizza Hut buffet or the Golden Corral restaurant. Hot dishes were very cold & their meat & seafood dishes were the exact quality as the Golden Corral when they were in business. If the owners do not clean Ten up real soon & go back to serving gourmet food, their Ten restaurant will be history & closing down for good. read more

Very good food and atmosphere. Incredible wine list. Nice quiet place for an intimate date.

My husband and I found this spot while taking a walk downtown. It was one of the few restaurants open. This was definitely a great find! The atmosphere and food was excellent! We ordered the crab cakes and grilled caesar salad with salmon. It was all delicious. The grilled salad was absolutely amazing! The salmon was cooked perfectly and we loved how there was a slight char on the romaine lettuce. We definitely recommend this place. It's great for a date night or dinner with friends. read more

This food was amazing. Staff was super awesome for our anniversary and birthdays. The card was an thoughtful touch. Beautiful place

My husband and I always stay at the northern hotel when we're in Billings and eat at TEN because it's so convenient and tasty! TEN is very nice and the menu has recently changed and added some really good options. This is a great date night spot for a great glass of wine and yummy desserts. Our favorite waitress Natasha is always nice and service is awesome. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 only because the price is very high so be prepared to spend some money and also because it took some time for the menu to be updated with new items. Soups here are a hit and miss but everything else is very good read more

We have eaten here once before and it was alright. Decided to give it another try. Big mistake. Never again. Ordered a ribeye rare, and a ribeye medium rare. They came out 45 min later medium, and medium well. We sent them back, only to receive two more identical steaks. $10 add on shrimp were tiny and bland. The restaurant was NOT busy. There were 4 other tables and 2 servers. It took 15+ minutes for our server to check on us each time. No idea where she would go. Beers would take 15+ minutes as well and there were never more than 3 guests sitting at the bar. I don't know how this restaurant can stay open with prices like that and subpar food and service. The only positive was comping one steak. At that, our bill was still $77. read more

The food is excellent. The steak was probably the best steak I've ever had at a restaurant, we also tried the soup of the moment which was excellent. Tried the scallops, Cobb Brussel sprouts and the cheesecake for dessert. Would definitely recommend! read more

I decided to eat here while staying at the Northern Hotel when I saw they served (what I assume is American raised) wagyu beef. There were quite a few other tempting dining options within walking distance but that was the deciding factor. Our waiter was Nikko and he was excellent. Everything was prompt, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had keto friendly alternative side dishes. We ordered two martinis and charcuterie to start. The martinis did not have olives, which seemed odd, but they were made as ordered. The charcuterie was delicious! My only criticism is that I really enjoy knowing what type of cheese or meats I'm being served, and even if the selection changes more often that can me noted on the menu, a note could be included or the waiter could explain the tray. We did ask and this was fine. For entrees we ordered the Wagyu PB Moss Strip and the Wagyu Filet Mignon, both were served with delicious grilled vegetables to replace the potatoes. Both were served after their signature salad. Everything was heavenly! The salads were a nice combination of textures and flavors. Both steaks were ordered and cooked medium rare, seasoned perfectly, and were worth every penny. The strip was incredibly flavorful, and the filet cut like butter. When the check came I was absolutely shocked! Not because it was too much, but because it was without a doubt the best meal I've had in that price range in the last few years. For the service and the ingredients it was completely worth it... and then some. So we passed the rest of what we thought it was worth along as a tip for a great waiter. If I pass through town again I will most certainly stop here again. read more

Beautiful restaurant and bar. Had a lively crowd and even live music (a classical guitarist one night and live band another) when we were there. Service was prompt and friendly. They have happy hour daily 4-6, with $1 off drinks, and appetizers on the lounge menu discounted to $10. My cousin had the flat iron steak, and it was really good. I already had dinner, but tried the MT Old Fashioned w/ their signature cinnamon cherries, and it was strong, but well made. read more

we came here for my friends birthday on February 27th, and our service took forever. for a fancy restaurant they really need to step up their game. our server was nice enough i guess but she made her other tables priority because of a show they were going to. we were ignored and our food took over an hour to come to us, on top of that it was about 10 minutes for us to be greeted. I work in the restaurant industry and i understand being busy, but that's really no excuse for our food to take this long. we had to get our food togo instead of staying because we no longer wanted to stay. read more

You don't go here for dinner, you go here for an experience! We just tried out the new menu, it was all delicious, there is not another restaurant in Billings like it. My husband had the beet salad to start, wow, if you love beets its a must try. I had the bean soup, it was actually a much larger portion than I expected and it too was yummy. For dinner we both had the lamb, I'm not sure what kind of magic sauce was on it, but wow, I could bathe in it. For dessert we had the bread pudding, it was not what I was expecting but still quite yummy. Chef Tim and his team really has something special going on here, and I think only more amazing things will come from TEN. Oh and our service was lovely. read more

For the bar. I went last night and there were a few people there. The bar tender was nice and apologetic when he told me they were out of Oban. (!). I thought how can you be out?!? Must carry enough back up. So I went with Glenfiddich, okay decent sub. Nice venue, decor. I guess only problem with ambience was it was a bit sedate which may be perfect for those looking for a quiet place to have a drink with a friend. I'll go back, maybe next time for dinner! read more

Went on a Sunday night and the place was pretty empty and service was SLOW. Had to get up after being seated for 10 minutes to ask the bartender for waters. Tomahawk steak was poor quality and lacked flavor. Trout was the same. Way over priced for the quality of the food. Sorry guys, not worth the money. :/ read more

WAY overpriced. I wasn't up for an octopus appetizer and why get a burger when burger dive is across the street. I wanted something small so I tried the $22 Cauliflower steak. Save your money. Go somewhere further from the "chic" Northern hotel. Stick with local small places and your gastro experience will be more enjoyable and tasty. read more

Bad on me for not asking the price of the Port offerings. Bartender said she preferred the "little more expensive one" so I took her recommendation. Having just dined at Chico's five star restaurant and having their recommended $20 dollar glass, I was greatly surprised to get a bill for $80 for two glasses of very boring Port. I believe a good bar tender educates their guests and includes prices that are extreme, which I considered a $40 glass of wine to be. My fault for not asking prices, I know, but felt scammed at a bar I have been drinking at regularly for over 40 years. read more
