    Packed and loud. Service was slow but friendly. Food was just meh. It was OK. We had the steak frites and you can't really mess that up - oh wait, you can by having a less than quality piece of meat. The carrot tacos.... We laughed when they came out. You require another dish, don't just order it and think your hunger will be satisfied. Steak tacos OK. Fries were the best part. It's expense, the drinks really expense and on the small side. One bathroom stall for men and one for women. There was always a line. I don't understand why they are not unisex bathrooms to begin with but using the restroom was a problem. We were always on the lookout for when the line was empty or down to at least one person. The good part is that it's next door to a nightclub where we danced the night away.

    Took me a while, but finally made it to Nine last night with my wife and some friends. Ambiance is cool -- not quite "fancy" but a step up from your usual sports bar kinda place. The bar area is beautiful. Noise level is loud enough that you can have a private conversation, but no so loud that you have to shout at people at your table (a complaint I have about a lot of "open ceiling" kinda bars). I tried two cocktails: Stay Lit and Spill the Tea. Both were good, though not great. Food was yummy! We shared the spicy Greek feta dip, Korean wings, steak frites, and penne ragu, and I liked everything. My only two complaints are that the wine list is just meh, and the service is quite slow. There were a couple of times when we asked for another minute to look at a menu, and then our server disappeared for 10-15 minutes at a time. Food came out reasonably fast, but cocktails took a long time even after being ordered. I'll likely visit again because the food and drinks are good, but if the slow service remains, I'd probably not give it a third shot.

    We made a reservation on a Tuesday evening but it wasn't necessary. There were only 4 people sitting at the bar when we walked in at 5:15pm. I'm not sure why because the vibe is chill, music is on point, food is very good and they have happy hour from 4-6 Tuesday thru Friday.

    Nine Kitchen and Bar is easily one of my favorite spots. Chic, beautiful, and effortlessly stylish, it's the kind of place that nails both the vibe and the menu. The service is always on point, and now that they've added brunch? Game changer. The Fish and Grits is my absolute favorite--perfectly seasoned fish and creamy, flavorful grits that I could eat every day. The French Toast Sandwich is pure indulgence--more than enough to share, though trust me, you won't want to. Their omelettes are spot-on, the drinks are just as good, and it all comes together in a space you'll want to linger in.

    What a delightful surprise walking into this place. It has been in the works for a while and it has been opened about 6 months now. The vibe is casual Elegance. Very comfortable and eclectic group of people gathered together under One roof for wonderful cocktails in a terrific meal. This place is great whether you are on a date or with a group of friends. They are very accommodating and well-versed in their menu.

    I ordered a French 75 with Empress gin and the bang bang shrimp appetizer. This place is a cute vibe; it was my first time hearing of it and patronizing it. The staff were very nice and friendly! We were a large (8), last minute group and they got us seated about 10 minutes after arriving. Very expensive though! My bill was $47.00 for one drink and an appetizer. The bill included 20% gratuity for "large party ".

    We went for a quick drink and snack during happy hour! The cocktails were excellent - well balanced & delicious! I had the Stay Lit and hubby had the Historic OF. We would totally come back for these. We ordered the steak tacos, I would say the beef was a bit too chewy. I would recommend they cut the pieces down much smaller but they were alright and had flavor. If it wasn't happy hour, I think I would try something else. We didn't try any other food but I noticed others all ordered the fries and I would definitely like to try some other dishes next time. The bar is really nice, a highlight of the bar/restaurant but they have tables and booths. The service was excellent and all the staff were very attentive and friendly. Nine is located on Woodward (across from The Fly Trap if you're familiar with Ferndale). There is paid street parking or a lot in the back. Ferndale makes it easy to pay for parking because you can text or download the app (think it was $1.80/hour). Great place to check out in Ferndale!

    This place recently opened up but it looks like they already got their stuff together! Open, clean, brightly lit and nicely decorated - is the first impression. Attentive, friendly and helpful wait staff and a manager - is the second impression. Couple things - I wish they had some egg dishes on the menu for a weekend brunch. Menu is not very big. However, there are options to pick from. We came with a larger group and overall opinion was that food is good and so are the drinks. I ordered steak tacos and, unfortunately, meat was on a tougher, chewy side. But flavor was good. Bang bang shrimp and wings were good as well. I have to say that they do have good coffee! And, amazing fried orios dessert (I am not usually a fan of the cookies themselves but their dessert was worth the extra calories...I think ).

    New place with bright and light decor, nice plush seating and great service. Drinks were good, except they dont do bloody mary's if you like that for brunch. Food was hit and miss: Wings were good a bit spicy Bang bang shrimp tasted watery for some reason Lamb meatballs were good a bit dry My friend ordered a salad and it was done incorrectly and since it was last dish to come out she decided to keep it. I believe this place can be very good once they work out certain aspects in the kitchen and in the service.

    We stopped in for brunch one day. The space is open and air it's beautifully decorated. The food was good and large portions. The service was good too. The only thing in didn't like was that we were given 3 different cocktail menus. And when we ordered we were told sorry those cocktails are not available for brunch service... To me that seems absurd because are you telling me that you don't have the ingredients to make me a drink from the menu you would be using in just a few hours? It just seemed stupid to have 3 different menus for cocktails that you only use at certain times of the day.

    Tuna tartare... soooo delicious!

    Two separate dinners out, two separate groups, and both wanted to go to Nine for dinner. Reservations for both nights were easy to make. The manager, Ryan, was super receptive and helpful with our big group. In between the first visit and these last two, we tried everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. Whether you go for drinks and apps to share with your group, dinners, etc., this place excels in all of it. The highlight of both nights was our waiter, Drew. He is seriously one of the best waiters I have ever had in any restaurant. He took care of our group of 13 like it was nothing last night, and our group of 5 today, all with a smile on his face, and such a positive vibe. This is our new favorite place!

    Beautiful atmosphere, service was phenomenal! Food absolutely delicious! Flavorful; I was able to taste ingredients which was not overwhelming but perfect in my opinion. Those lamb meat balls were everything!! Even the drink was A1! I will definitely be back more than likely next weekend lol!

    Well let's see what the "Historic O.F." has to offer!! I'm going to push through despite the Luxardo
    Kyra S.

    1st time and I will definitely return during the evening. Super cute vibe . It's well lit and bright enough to remain intimate enough for a date or with friends. My drink was tasty, I love a good old fashioned. My friends loved their drinks as well. I got a flatbread pizza and wings both very tasty. I loved the play list. I love a good happy hour. Service was excellent provided by Ms.Symone.. I'm going to try brunch next.

Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.

What we didn't expect was to be completely blown away. From the second we walked in, the bartender greeted us like we were regulars, and that alone sold us on sitting at the bar. Best decision. We're bar sitters through and through, and between the bartender, a friendly regular who scooted over for us, and literally every person we interacted with, the vibe was unmatched. I worked in the service industry in a former life, so I know how rare it is to find a place where everyone is friendly. There's usually at least one Debbie Downer. Not here. No rushing, great recommendations, and zero feeling like you're "that couple" taking up bar space. Drinks and beer selection were solid, but let's talk food because ambiance and service are only half the equation. We started with the coney dog egg rolls and... wow. Epic. Unique. Immediately set the bar high. Then we ordered the fish and chips and the short rib sandwich. The fish was perfectly breaded, the remoulade was on point, and those skinny fries were dangerous. But the star of the show? The short rib sandwich. Holy shit. I don't normally eat onions or horseradish, but somehow this sandwich converted me. The caramelized onions weren't overpowering, the sauce wasn't spicy, and everything just worked. We literally woke up the next morning talking about how we need it again. The bartender filled us in on happy hour and all the food options, and we're already planning our return. Total hidden gem on Woodward. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great Saturday night!
