In fact, I do take offense at the suggestion that either I don't know what I'm talking about or that I'm somehow a shill for Ten Tables. I offered my honest opinion, having been to both restaurants, and you accuse me of being either ignorant or biased due to a financial interest. You may disagree with my assessment of the two restaurants, as is of course your right, but don't question my honesty or motives for offering my opinion. It's totally uncalled for and I resent it.

I'm sorry that you and everyone you know dislike Ten Tables, but, as I said, in my opinion it's one of the best restaurants in Boston, at any price, and the price is quite reasonable. I for one would be very excited to see its owners open something in the square.
