    My wife and I have lived in Manhattan, Austin, LA, Miami, Brooklyn, and finally settled in San Diego after having kids... We love SD, but the one thing that is consistently disappointing is the restaurants. I get that SD might rank lower than NYC and LA... but it's just annoying how much (MUCH) better the dining scene is in Austin, Miami, and Brooklyn. Not only is SD food disappointing, but the prices are HIGHER. Ug. So once in a while, when we have a great meal, it's something to remark on. I'd say that Nine-Ten represents the best meal we've had so far in SD. Looking forward to returning.

    Service was amazing. Food was very good. Got the tasting menu and wine pairimg. Pricing was reasonable. 20% Gratuity was required. Would prefer for them to raise the pricing instead of forcing a gratuity on me.

    Great service, good food, good value for a fine dining establishment. It is rare to find such a trifecta in any restaurant that claims to be a rated restaurant in a high priced neighborhood.

    A working dinner with 2 attorneys. One from Brussels with very discriminating tastes. The freshness of the hamachi and spice of the pork belly started the meal on a great note. The wine list was well received and the match of the ribeye to the St Emilion worked perfectly. My guest related that this was his best meal on US soil on his 1 week trip.

    Great meal at Nine-Ten. Wonderful service. Made a perfect gin gimlet. Had a wonderful glass of viognier and Grgich Hills estate Cabernet. Can’t wait to go back. Particularly on a Wednesday, when every bottle in the very nice wine list is available at half off.
