Very well appointed experience. We got to sit right next to the fireplace and it was quiet when we were there. The service was excellent and we appreciated not being rushed out. Also it was very convenient to have the valet parking. The hot chocolate was excellent!

As usual, No 9 delivered a delicious, elegant experience. Inventive cocktails delighted. Prune gnocchi = divinity. Chicken, not something I usually order, reached perfection. Celery root and maitaki paired beautifully. My birthday chicolate soufflé topped it all off with panache.

Lovely evening at the restaurant. It was a bit of a quiet night so we decided to sit at the bar. Luis, the bartender, was very attentive and pleasant. The food was excellent. The prices are on the higher side, but as expected. All good.
