Ten Tables gets two more hours for tastings

The Boston Licensing Board yesterday gave Ten Tables, 597 Centre St. in Jamaica Plain, permission to extend its closing time from 10 p.m. to midnight.

At a hearing on Wednesday, owner Krista Kranyak said diners kept asking for later hours because otherwise, they couldn't start the restaurant's "tasting" menu any later than 8:30 p.m. to comply with the 10 p.m. closing time. The restaurant was recently shut for a day as punishment for an incident in which it was found open past 10 p.m.
