Great food and service. Only downside was the food service was in my opinion too quick. We had a three course meal in an hour. It would have been nice to spread the meal out.

From the second we arrived until the moment we left everything at the Ninth was perfect The service from all the staff was exceptional and the food was delicious. A really nice touch of celebrating our anniversary with us and a table visit from chef Tanaka was the cherry on the cake. Can’t recommend The Ninth highly enough.
