WW Serves Harsh Criticism to Ten 01
Today's Willamette Week includes a pretty harsh review of new Pearl District restaurant Ten 01. In an article titled "Looks: 10, Food: 01," Critic Heidi Yorkshire writes:
"...Ten 01—with its good looks, hot location and deep pockets—could have been a slam-dunk success. Instead, it's a sad combination of confused ambitions and fumbled execution."
Ouch! That's gotta hurt.
On top of that, Food Dude wrote a scathing rant at Portland Food and Drink today, slamming the inconsistencies at numerous local restaurants - Ten 01 included. Food Dude had given Ten 01 a favorable "first impressions" posting and promised to eventually do a full review. From today's posting:
"I raved about the sliders at Ten 01. Now they are crap."
Looks like that full review is off.

Whoa. That's not good for Ten 01. They've put a ton of money into that place. I hope for their sake that they turn things around.

I'm glad the W Week dropped the bomb on Ten 01 before I did. I ate there a couple of weeks back and had the most abysmal time - as if the mediocre food wasn't bad enough the service was downright amateur....the only good thing about our meal was the wine and our waiter managed to pour my serving into my water glass which, yes, contained water. Did he apologize and take back the bottle and start again? No, he laughed and said something stupid like, "well that's a first"...well it was a first for me too and definitely a last as I'm never going to Ten 01 again...
Pitiful really.
