This is our favorite restaurant. We’ve been coming here for several years now and it just gets better and better. It never disappoints. There was a wedding party in the bar that accounted for the high noise level, but it was bearable and it made for a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.

Quite possibly the best experience I’ve ever had. We partook in the Mercy of the Chef tasting to celebrate a friends birthday, and our server Chris was outstanding! If you ever have the opportunity to eat here, don’t think twice!!

This was our second meal and it did not disappoint. The beet and pear salad and pork belly were wonderful. We enjoyed the cauliflower steak, cod, chicken and gnocchi. Superb.

I was in LaJolla for several days and our meal at Nine-Ten was the best meal of the stay. Excellent food / excellent service. I wish I lived closer because I would dine here often. We dined on the outdoor veranda: great ambiance & lighting. It was lovely.
