   The staff was very accommodating to our request regarding a quieter table. They were also accommodating to adjusting the arrival time a half hour later than what was allowed on open table. Excellent service and delicious food.

   1st time breakfast/brunch there, dead by 1pm on a Saturday, gourmet food, quality & prep, EXCEPT for my wife’s eggs undercooked per order request & her toast burnt on one side…oh well, my wife was hungry & didn’t want to wait for re-do, plus my food was now on the table. Also, note the UNWORDED 5% bill charge for the house, server said “it doesn’t go to me.” He made me feel that deducting that $ paid from my TIP left would be wrongful & bad for HIM, he seemed angry. I left feeling manipulated. Oh well…

   We went there for break days and i was looking forward to trying their croissants, but by 9am they were sold out of croissants which was really disappointing. They also were out of smoked salmon bagel, so we had to order our second choice. But what came out was really good.

    This is one of our most favorite restaurants in San Diego... if not the most favorite. We have been there many times and yet to experience anything but excellence. All dishes usually have complex and unusual flavors but all absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

    Our visit to Nine-Ten was good. We had three different dishes and all were pretty good. One of our guests has a food allergy and special diet and was able to be accommodated with no problem. We went on a wednesday for half price bottles of wine and enjoyed ourselves. The staff and service were friendly, familiar with the menu and wine and we received exceptional service. We will definitely be going back and hopefully the menu will change so that we can try some new dishes.

    Nine-Ten is an example of a restaurant that has earned Michelin Star! The quality of the food, from Appetizers to Dessert were all exceptional. We started off with Jamaican Jerk Pork Belly and Hamachi Sashimi in which the portion size, presentation, and taste were perfect. Our entrees consisted of Roasted Jerk Chicken and Smoked Liberty Farms Duck Breast which again, were perfect. The presentation along was worth the experience and I have to say that more restaurants would work on achieving the same level of excellence. Normally we only have one dessert if we enjoyed the dining experience but we were so impressed that we went for three items: Stuffed Brioche Doughnuts, Stone Fruit "Napoleon", and Seasonal Sorbet....and this was the perfect choice. The portions were just right for sharing and every thing about it matched our expectations. We would gladly come back again for the food...but not the service. The host that night (7/30/22) was not at his station for over 10 minutes and no one at the bar looked to assist us. When he finally arrived, he didn't greet us nor make eye contact. Compared to the food, this was a huge disappointment and bad way to start the dining experience. When we got seated, the waiter appeared once then not again for over 15 minutes, easily passing us by without a single glance. I finally had to raise my hand and speak loudly to get his attention, and unfortunately he pat us by multiple times that night without checking in on us...he never apologized once for his lack of attention, very sad.

    Basically long time waiting for service, my guess there was a wedding party dinner that was taking resources away from the restaurant clients. Baja Sea bass was not really good, boney and jelly texture and cold interior with luke warm exterior. Sauce was really not helping the dish. I ddi not want to return it to the kitchen because is something I find rude to do, I respect the hard work of chefs and kitchen staff even in a bad day. Given that I believe the restaurant was having a bad day given other open table outstanding reviews , please do not take this as an overall assesment of this restaurant that has a beautiful impressive and creative menu and a beautiful view and ambiance. Just a bad day. Will return in my next trip to enjoy.

    The chef experience was phenomenal! Our wait staff was excellent. The food, my gosh, compliments to the chef, we literally had the best salmon we have ever eaten, it melted like butter in your mouth, every course was delicious and the wine pairing for each course was equally just as delicious and amazing as the food. We highly recommend Nine-Ten, this place has become our new favorite place.

    Chef’s Tasting menu Food & drinks were great & gourmet, service attentive, location & room splendid (despite no nearby ocean view). Only gross thing was our 1st helper/bus boy who brought & poured our sparkling water with sliced limes, he was kinda messy looking & tatted with REALLY DIRTY fingernails…yuck! Food server Hygiene & Health 101. Funny & bizarre negative was that the young man parking Valet came back to me after a few minutes saying that he was all alone (only at 8pm) and couldn’t bring me my car as he didn’t know how to drive a stick-shift car yet, and asked me to go get it myself in his nearby parking lot…his $5 tip disappeared. Oh well.

    I’ve never had a bad meal here. Food is beautifully prepared, service is elegant, and an outside table along the sidewalk transports me back to the south of France - the perfect trifecta.

    My wife and I will continue to make time for Nine-Ten. This is an establishment that continues to impress from start to finish. They are pricey, but the mercy of the chef and wine pairing is worth every penny! It is the only restaurant in Southern California that is pushing the culinary envelope and I, for one, cannot wait for my next excuse to return!

    We were last here in 2016 and apparently much had changed in the interim. The menu seemed so pedantic and ordinary. We only ordered the Pacific bass because the other entrees were so uninviting. The appetizers (grilled blue prawn and heirloom tomato and beet salad) were better that the entrees. I would check the menu before returning for another dinner here.

    We would highly recommend your restaurant. While we thought the menu was somewhat brief, the food we selected was very good. We thought the outdoor seating was delightful. we were bothered somewhat due to an untrained puppy that wanted to bark at all patrons walking by his table. The service was the best! T.V.Jenkins

    Nine Ten is always a treat. I love the terrace with the ocean view and breezes. The service and food are always tops! I can''t think of a better place to go in the La Jolla Village area. The Colonial Hotel, that it is located in, is so beautiful to see. You can admire the lobby as you wait for your guests. Truly a treat!

    Nine-ten was an amazing foodie experience! Compliments to the chef. Ambiance: La Jolla — quality hotel lily pad with a bar, main dining room and small outdoor space. Classy but not “upscale.” Service: Perfectly pleasant. Food: Caesar salad was splendid! True to flavor with the anchovy-white dressing and rich croutons. There was enough parm with a base of fresh spring lettuce rather than romaine. Duck was phenomenal! Perfectly cooked. Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly crusted. Wonderful flavor. Very very nice. Strawberry and coconut semifredo was exceptional. Desert menu included cheese options - very true to the French contemporary vibe. Vegetarian options: moderate (2-5 options) Price: pricey but worth it. Yay? Nay? Eh? Yay!

    I expected a higher level of service from the waiter for the type of restaurant that it’s suppose to be. The rest of the wait staff was fine. It was just the waiter. He had no personality to make you feel it’s a special place with a special price. He catered exclusively to one particular local couple. He forgot my bread and he even yelled over to me from the doorway rather than coming to the table to ask a question. The food was surprisingly underwhelming with little to no flavor. I had the oysters, scallops and chocolate cake with a Port. The Port was the best thing I had. The caramel sauce on the cake was so hot I burned my mouth on it. One of the scallops looked like someone took half of it. Never again would I spent that much and get so little lacking in service and mediocre food.
