Ten Tables

This evening I enjoyed a vegetarian and vegan tasting menu with some friends Ten Tables in Cambridge. It was my first experience dining at any of their three locations and was happy to discover how cute, cozy and friendly the atmosphere was. The food was fresh, creative and delicious. I will most definitely be returning to indulge myself again soon. (The pics are a bit dark, apologies.)
