    Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!

    It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite

The menu is a delightful blend of creative dishes, each bursting with fresh flavors and beautifully presented.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a great experience. Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner spot, a place to celebrate a special occasion, or just incredible food, 9 Mile Restaurant is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their amazing menu! 5/5 stars!
