I've heard a lot of people talking about Bond No. 9 recently so I thought I'd check it out for myself.  I hate to say but I was disappointed.  \n\nI went on a Tuesday night and it was fairly busy with 5 tables eating food but that's the maximum they have in their restaurant section.  The food was OK - I had Thai fish stew for starter which was a meal within itself and the chunks of fish were swimming over the sides of the bowl so I'd definitely recommend this!  That's about the only recommendation I have for this place I'm afraid.\n\nI'd heard great things about the chicken and chorizo kebab but it was just chicken and choizo, nothing more special than that.  The steaks were delicious - huge, tender with very little fat.  I didn't think much of the chips though, not sure how you get chips wrong but the person that I was dining with enjoyed them so perhaps that's down to individual tastes.  I had chocolate mouse for desert which was a spoonful of moose so for \u00a34.50 I thought was a bit stingey.  \n\nEven though the bar was full of 20-30 something young professionals I just didn't think that there was any atmosphere at all.  I wasn't able to fully relax, partly because when I was shown to my seat the waiter explained that I shouldn't lean back on my chair as the back was broken and I'd fall backwards onto the floor?!?!?!  Next to me was another chair just sitting in the middle of the restaurant which was blatantly falling apart too so I reckon they need to invest in more furniture!  The whole place could do with a spruce up to be honest as the paint was cracking off the walls and in the toilets there were no toilet paper dispenser, just paper scattered all over the floor.  \n\nI wish I had something better to say but I'm afraid that's it.
