    We made a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday. His train broke down so he was 45 minutes late, but the staff were patient about it and it was no problem. We had a leisurely meal over a couple hours, sharing the delicious tuna crudo, chorizo, olives, boquarones, and elote, and a couple of lovely cocktails. The atmosphere was relaxed (we were sitting at the long high top table and it was a festive way to share space), and our server was kind and attentive.

    Nine Tastes is amazing. We were three rowdy college guys - we had a fantastic female server, I can’t recall their name, but she was so kind. Always checking in on us, making sure we were satisfied with our meal (and always refilling our water glasses). Truly enjoyed it and always look forward to having this dining experience.
