I knew after dinner we may wanna grab 1 more drink so I had checked to see if there were any new spots sine the last time we were in town. I hadn't heard of this Teddy Roe's so we grabbed a reservation for the late evening. After getting dropped off by a car we tried to find the entrance. I'm not going to give away the trick to it but it was fun. Once inside we got our spot that we held. I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

I didn't know what to expect from this place since I looked at the bad reviews first so I can set…read moremy expectations right. When I came this day, they had live jazz music. I don't care for jazz. But it was great music and the place was packed. Everyone was enjoying it all and the vibe was a good one to be around. Arcy was behind the bar and suggested a few drinks. They were both good. Deviled eggs were good and the pickled purple onions were a good touch - though I still haven't come across deviled eggs that are better than my own The special of the day was pork chops. I'm not a pork person but I chanced it anyhow. I'll have to say, it was probably the best pork chop I've ever had. They sousvided it and it came with apple butterand it all worked beautifully. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this spot. Well done!

They were training a really young guy as host and he was really nervous, dropping silverware and repeating himself (understandable). But, the front door was open and there was none of the speakeasy entrance vibe that adds to the fun. Our waiter was attentive but slow to return with drinks ordered, missing a cup of coffee and about 10 minutes for a draft beer. A few of us ordered the prime rib, which was cooked perfectly but served without any au jus or horseradish. Don't know if it was even an option as it wasn't on the menu and our waiter didn't return until we were done eating. After about 10 minutes from getting our meals served, I had to hunt down our waiter and ask for a couple of steak knives as the table knives were not cutting it (literally). The gentleman at the next table had ordered the rib-eye and was using a hefty steak knife so we knew this was an omission. For the price and the hype, I expected more. Especially for a place that calls itself a "speakeasy" and not just a restaurant. I'm not sure if the speakeasy vibe is solely for in the evening or not but it was a disappointment that brunch service had no special vibe.

The menu was listed as cast of characters/script, which was lots of fun. Our group was about 20 people, which I'm sure was a challenge, but our server was great and kept us all with full glasses and no waiting. There is a small parking lot with free parking. It was full by the time I got there, but it was easy and free to park on the street nearby. They had a great selection of local beer, wine and creative cocktails. Didn't really try the food but the drinks were great. Would definitely go back!

When you go in the entrance the bar is to the left and is now kinda of a speakeasy. It's dark, nicely done, music playing and fancy cocktails being made. They don't have a huge menu but you can get some appetizers, sandwiches, etc. We had some non traditional nachos which were very good. The service was also very good. When we left the bar, I checked out the restaurant that was to the right when you walked into the front door of the Copper Lounge. It's has a very nice ambiance and it's not dark like the bar was next door. Don't have any other info on it but looked very nice. I would recommend checking these places out if you are looking for something very different from the usual places.

She later came back and said her manager said she could not give him any ice cream. The server apologized and said it was her fault for offering it in the first place.

It's in a historic area but the inside is chic, modern, and lively. Bold paint colors, unique bar and table sets, and they even have chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The only caveat is that it is LOUD. Between the noise of eating, talking, and the music, it is difficult to hear each other. The service was excellent. I wish I could remember his name to give him a shout-out. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions for drinks, appetizers and main dishes. He also, was friendly and funny, and took care of us without hovering but was somehow always there when we needed something. The food was excellent, with large portions, great flavors, clean ingredients and fresh new takes on a lot of dishes. I had the Sourdough Gnocchi with onions, brocolini, and added salmon. It was truly amazing! They had a blackberry shrub, which is non-alcoholic, that I was able to add alcohol to and it was delicious! We also had the calamari for an appetizer and it was beautifully done, perfectly cooked, with light breading, and excellent sauces to dip it in. If you haven't been, I would highly recomend you check it out!

The wait was about 30 minutes so we grabbed some drinks from the bar and took in the sun outside. It's a spectacular view from the top. It's been so long since I came up here and don't even remember if there was a restaurant before. It was the 60th anniversary of the tram so the entire restaurant was set up for casual dining. Once seated, we were bummed we didn't get a window. BUT, there was a table by the window available. I was told it was for somebody before us. Huh? Where are they? I hate to be that person, but I don't think that was the case. I kept my eye on that table and was going to cause a scene, but my partner told me to let it go. Anyway, the food was delicious. My partner had a side salad and a ceviche dish. She loved it. I had a side of tempura veggies (I loved tempura veggies and the mushroom was chefs kiss), some Santa Fe spring rolls. Mom had a burger and fries. It was a good meal and a nice area to chill. The bar was packed with hikers who were most likely post-hike and filling up on snacks and beer. That would be me if I lived here. It was a nice day overall. The tram ride, the views, the meal, etc.

Unfortunately, the most memorable part of our visit to TEN 3 was an unnecessary and unpleasant…read moreinteraction with the young dining-room captain. We had requested a window table because the view is the restaurant's main attraction. Although the hostess explained that it could not be guaranteed, we were pleased to receive one. However, the seating arrangement did not allow us to sit next to each other. We politely asked whether we could move our chairs slightly, especially since there was plenty of space, but the request was denied. We then asked to move to one of four other available tables. The hostess appeared willing to accommodate us, but the dining-room captain again refused. His tone was condescending and dismissive, and there did not seem to be any reasonable explanation for denying both options. What should have been a simple seating request turned into an uncomfortable and completely out of place power struggle. His attitude made us feel unwelcome and affected the mood of the entire meal. It also affected the gratuity, which I assume is shared among the many servers involved. We still left a little more than 15%, but the tip would have been considerably more generous without that interaction. It was unfortunate that the rest of the service team may have been affected by one person's poor handling of such a simple request. The location itself is truly unique and impressive, nearly 10,000 feet above sea level, with beautiful panoramic views. When we arrived, we ordered drinks at the bar, and they were well pretending . We then went outside to enjoy the viewing areas while waiting for our table. Service during the meal was very slow and disconnected. There appeared to be a different server for the water, salad and main course. Rather than making the experience feel polished and attentive, the system made everything feel slow. Because of the location and pricing, we expected a true fine-dining experience. The pork belly was an excellent start, and both the lettuce salad and filet mignon were very good. My duck breast, however, arrived much rarer than the medium preparation I had requested. It was still bloody and had to be sent back to the kitchen. The mushroom risotto was also extremely bland, with almost no noticeable mushroom flavor or seasoning and let us wondering if they had ran out of mushrooms? None of the food or service issues alone would have ruined the evening. However, the dining-room captain's condescending attitude overshadowed much of the experience. TEN 3 has an unforgettable setting and several very good dishes, but hospitality is an essential part of fine dining. The service should be as impressive as the view.
