There should be a distinction on here that says if you are rating based on the food, or the drinks and atmosphere. I am rating based on the food since we came here for dinner and not the live music and nightlife. I did not think 9 Fine was all it is cracked up to be if you want to grab a bite somewhere. There are lots of other places on the strip to go to. I had the lamb stew which was good but not worth the price. My husband had the bangers and mash which was good but very salty, and he really did not like the cabbage. Our companion had the shepherd's pie which was pretty standard. The soda bread at the beginning of the meal was lacking in flavor. I am glad we tried 9 Fine but don't quite get the hype.
