Horrible service, makes the experience horrendous, no degree of good food could compensate.
Eric and Veronica at the front desk are rude and make the entire experience unbearable. With a baby and getting to the restaurant on time they stated they had to seat 5-6 tables before us and it would take 30 minutes to seat them. Not sure how it takes 30 minutes to seat 5 parties, should take 1 minute. I would have been happy to seat myself, but instead Eric and Veronica wanted to ruin the night for everyone. Opposite of what you want when you dine out to relax. Total opposite. They should be let go, host staff being nice is important for a restaurant and the fact that they are still working means management is horrendous. Shame on them.
Be the first to ReplyReceptionist for the restaurant did the owners of the restaurant a disservice
On a very wet and windy night in La Jolla, we arrived for our 5.30pm reservation at 5.18pm. The restaurant was empty other than two other couples. We were told by the receptionst that they were expecting a party of ten, who had not arrived as yet. We would have to wait until all of this party arrived, were seated and made comfortable. We pointed out that we were only a few minutes early for our reservation ; that the restaurant was almost empty ; that good restaurants always had seating flexibility within a few minutes ; that there was a huge storm about to hit La Jolla and we wanted to be home before the storm ; and that if we waited for the party of ten to be comfortable, we would be late for our reservation. Our argument fell on deaf ears. We said that we had no option but to dine at the nearby restaurant at La Valenica. The Nine-Ten receptionist shrugged her shoulders. So the restaurant lost our business on a slow night and for years to come. She is not the type of employee I would want to employ.

We had reservations and arrived on time and we were promptly seated. We ordered drinks and a bottle of wine and several dishes to share. The service was excellent and the food was just fantastic. One thing that stood out was the mushroom pasta with mushroom sauce and it was very good

We were staying at the Grande Colonial Hotel, so it was a non-brainer to try Nine-Ten restaurant. The food was great and the bar was a fun place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine.

We had drinks at the bar sitting outside and they were super! Great whisky. Very very friendly! Definitely will be back.

Attracted by Michelin rating we stopped for a quick appetizer and a drink. We ordered porcini pasta( called differently in the menu). It tasted good but was oversalted for my taste. Not much different from an average Italian restaurant. On other tables we saw people served burgers and fries. The ambiance was especially disappointing. We looked at the dining area with a view of the hotel swimming pool. Sorry to say that, but we have expected something different.

Fish tacos were delicious and ambience absolutely lovely. I really enjoyed the people watching too! Centrally located in La Jolla. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyUnderwhelming food served in the BLAZING sun - Michelin should reconsider
I had high hopes for Nine-Ten, but they fell way short - short on food, short on service, short on experience. Strangely, everyone seated around us agreed, yet we all stuck it out to the end. How did this happen? Here’s my recap: My interest was piqued originally by the “Michelin plate” rating, the good TripAdvisor reviews, the Top chef accolades of the executive chef, Jason Knibb, and also the good reviews of the pastry chef. Going in, it checked every box. Then, we arrived for dinner at 5:15 and were seated on their back patio in the blazing hot sun (cramped back patio of a small boutique hotel). The only attempt to reseat us was at one of the other blazing hot tables on their patio (so wait to go, if you must, after sundown). I had a prickley pear cocktail that was beautiful to look at but was average overall. I also had a nice glass of red wine with dinner, and I perused the wine list, which seemed pretty extensive. The sourdough bread, that you buy as an appetizer, was good - crunchy crust, pillowy goodness inside. We had the braised short rib appetizer which netted to a couple small morsels of roast wrapped in a a couple small pasta shells, artfully adorned with a few mini carrots and a dozen peas. It reads on the menu as if robust, but it is not. For our entrees, we had the scallops and the ribeye. My husband ate his Maine scallops in silence. When asked, he called them small and “ok.” (I was very surprised, given the La Jolla address, that they had no fresh local fish options). My steak was cooked appropriately (medium rare) but was smothered in a lukewarm mushroom gravy. The “sides” of mushrooms, crispy onions were served separately (and delayed about 5 min after steak arrived) and were pretty delish actually. Maybe if it had been plated and served together, it would have been more appealing, but overall, it’s difficult not to call the overall steak experience awful. We ordered the Half Baked Chocolate Cake (catchy name) for dessert, which was good. Here’s what it was, tho, y’all: a very nice small chocolate soufflé, nothing really very special. By the time we left, we wished our weary and hot back patio comrades the best of luck. I have never felt so relieved to leave a restaurant.

I was a solo diner on a lovely March evening. My table on the patio featured a nice view (though the sun had set by the time I had my reservation), including one of the tallest palm trees I have ever seen. My server told me it had been a 7-foot tall palm in 1913 when the hotel associated with Nine-Ten was built! The menu here is not expansive. There are perhaps ten or so appetizers and salads and about the same number of entrees. I ordered a duck confit salad and it was a delight. Bitter frisee and greens paired off wonderfully with the unctuous and crisp pieces of duck. My entree was a rack of lamb that had obviously not been cooked before I ordered it because it arrived piping hot and a perfect medium rare (2 generous double-chops). It was meltingly good and the accompanying vegetables and especially the wood-fired oyster mushrooms that were luscious and wonderfully smokey. Skipping dessert would not have been a bad idea but I got the stuffed brioche donuts anyway. The four small round donuts were stuffed with a delightful Meyer lemon cheesecake. A sweet flavor bomb in the mouth! I highly recommend this La Jolla gem!

It is a beautiful restaurant. We had reservations and were escorted to a lovely table on the patio. It had a lovely view and with the heater on we were very cozy. I think our waiter’s name was Quinn The food was excellent. We shared the Jamaican pork belly for an appetizer. It was delicious. For entrees I had the King Salmon and my husband had the special of the day Sea bass. Both of our seafood dishes were excellent. The fish was nice and moist, the skin was beautifully crisped and the sauces complimented the fish very well. We shared the stuffed brioche doughnuts filled with lemon cream for dessert. They were the perfect way to end the meal. While we were there another couple was sitting at a table near us and they were celebrating the lady’s birthday. Our waiter asked if she would like a celebratory glass of champagne. She asked if it was for her birthday and he replied that no it was not. This is a sneaky way to try and pad the bill. They were given a voucher for a free dessert on their next visit. The couple asked if they could use it this evening and they were told that it was not valid for this visit but for the next visit. Most restaurants that we have gone to if they are aware that it is a special occasion they will offer a complimentary glass of wine or dessert. Nine Ten’s lack of acknowledgment of her birthday and instead their attempt to try an upsell to an elderly couple is chintzy. The restaurant also charges a 5% additional charge for their increasing costs and increasing minimum wage. I’m certain that Nine Ten probably raises their prices to allow for increasing costs. Certainly their prices are already fairly high especially the wine prices which are astronomical. Although the restaurant is beautiful and the food was excellent it is unlikely that we would return. There seems to be a lack of respect for their customers.
