Incredible experience!\n\nMy boyfriend and I went to Nine On Nine for dinner as we had received a gift certificate to this restaurant, which was a great excuse for us to venture downtown. It was confusing at first as when we had entered the restaurant we were in the bar room, thriving with activity and no one had greeted us, though soon realized we needed to walk through into the next room (such newbs!). The atmosphere was cozy with dim lighting and modern decor. You just wanted to snuggle up with somebody in a corner.\n\nWe looked at the menu and were having issues deciding between dishes until seeing that they were both on the tasting menu. At that moment we had decided to go big and try the eight 'small' course tasting which from there our culinary adventure began. Looking back on what and how much we ate I wish I had not done the rookie mistake of eating the bread. Every bite was delicious and each course was better than the last until we got to desert. I am not a big chocolate eater but will try it anyway if it is in front of me. I just didn't get it but was so full by then I was okay on not finishing. That aside we were both really impressed by caliber of the tasting and while it isn't an everyday thing for us we would hands down go back and do it again. The waiter was awesome - paced the courses well, checked on us periodically and answered our questions on the food. If you can splurge the dollars on a meal I would do it on the tasting menu at Nine On Nine.
