Very attentive and knowledgeable wait staff. Restaurant is quite busy with lots going on, so our little table didn't feel as private as I would have liked; next time I will request a booth or sit at the sushi bar. We will continue to return to Ten when we are in Charlottesville.

Nice wine by the glass selection. We sat in Back section with tables very close together and it was extremely noisy. Hard to hear each other talk across the table. Our server was great. Overall it would be five star if it wasn’t for the noise and the crowding of the back room.
