Ten Tables (Cambridge)
I finally tried Ten Tables in Cambridge, an outpost of the original in Jamaica Plain. It's a popular place - the cozy, dimly lit restaurant was completely packed and it wasn't even a weekend night. As with most other restaurants, they serve locally sourced ingredients, but instead of a hip, modern direction, they went with the comfortable, neighborhood feel.
We went with the tasting menu instead of ordering a la carte, which is $55 for 4 courses.
We started with a tile fish rillette
Followed by Oyster with kombu seaweed, apple, vanilla foam
I liked this surprising dish. I don't normally associate oyster with a creamy broth and vanilla aroma, but after my initial suprise I really enjoyed how the flavors worked together.
