The Ten Bells Reviews
Great night of friends, family and wine!
Amazing wine list, really good food. A nice alternative to try various wines while having dinner
The happy hour oysters were better than in the Grand Central Oyster Bar (although you don't have a choice, they have only one kind from somewhere in Massachusetts). The accompanying Grenache was very good. Ditto for the patatas bra as and the cremini mushrooms.
Service was prompt and engaged.

The Ten Bells is a cozy and dimly-lit restaurant with friendly service and a great music selection. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with low lighting and comfortable tables that create a cozy vibe. The happy hour menu offers reasonably priced wine by the carafe, fresh oysters served simply with one mignonette sauce, and a fantastic croquettes plate. The oysters are fresh and enjoyed with a white or red wine, making for a great pairing. Guests often start their visit with a dozen oysters, a carafe of wine, and the croquettes. During warm weather, the front windows open to the street, allowing the lively street vibe inside. The lively outdoor patio is also highly appreciated. The bar's setting on a busy street adds to its energetic atmosphere, and customers enjoy sampling different wines before making their choice. The wine selection is vast, with many interesting varietals, and the staff serve efficiently, although not always with a warm touch. Overall, The Ten Bells is highly recommended for those looking for a nice oyster/wine and tapas bar, especially during happy hour with friends. Visitors often praise the oysters, wines, and small plates like tortilla and mushroom croquettes, making it a popular spot for a fun, relaxed time.
