I really enjoyed 9. It is pretty, cosy and very comfortable. The service was very good and I never felt rushed . We went with our 8 year old twins and there was no kid attitude at all. The food is more dumbed down fusion but I am a sucker for variety and small plates and most of the food was fun and tasty. We had the garlic honey chips which were ordered more for the kids but were delicious, the steak tartar was tasty (a little sweet), the calamari was good, the black cod was ok but on the expensive side for the portion, my kids loved the fried chicken (never my thing so I can't judge). The dumplings were ok as was the kimchi poutine. I wish that they had a better wine list and made bottles available rather than selling by the glass. Great neighborhood find!
