| - N9ne Steakhouse certainly isn't bad, but I wasn't overly impressed with it either. We showed up twenty minutes before our scheduled reservation, and still had to wait an additional half hour after our reservation time! They do have many dishes to choose from, however. I had the 22oz prime porterhouse, and it was okay even though they cooked it slightly beyond my liking. I prefer it rare, and they brought it out well past rare. My friend tried the North Atlantic Salmon and seemed to like it really well.
I had a couple glasses of a 2013 Syrah from Central Coast, California, and was rather impressed with the acidity; it's smoky, pepper-like taste on the palate was a great compliment to the steak. My friend tried a similar vintage Chardonnay from California to pair the salmon, and also seemed to enjoy it as well.
Overall, I enjoyed the dinner, but waiting for 30 minutes past our reservation time, and having the steak a little over-cooked was enough to reduce it by two stars, and for $260? Hmmm. Yeah, might have to give it some time before I return.
