*I wish I could rate this place higher but the prices in comparison to the food is where I have to rate it for what it is. The service was good but not great for what we paid. I'm not sure why at finer dinning restaurants the staff are sometimes not as personable but that seems to be the norm. I would have loved more interaction and excitement when speaking to the menu, specials and restaurant.
We started with drinks which were great. I had a Prim and Proper and my Husband a smoke flavored cocktail which arrived on fire! So cool! We opted for the featured stone crab appetizer and calamari as well as the free ravioli that comes when you check in there on yelp. Stone crab was the biggest let down. $35 for a very small claw with no flavor. It tasted like water... The calamari was good with a nice tangy kick and lots of peppers for the heat.
For the entrees I went for lamb with a side of King crab legs and asparagus. My husband chose the 7 Oz rib eye and truffle fries. The lamb was breaded in a tasteless mixture which I scraped off but the lamb itself was decent but not for $68. Also there was no dipping sauce or mint jelly which I feel really helps to bring out that flavor. The asparagus was great with a lemon bite to it. The Alaskan king crab legs were cooked well and not too chewy with a side of hot butter. The truffle fries smelled fantastic and tasted equally as good, unfortunately they were overwhelming and far to rich to be enjoyable after 3 or 4.
I think n9ne has good food but I don't see us coming again in the future as locals. The bill totaled over $300 for 2 which was ok but recently we have visited another establishment that delivered better for food much less.
