    Jazz
    Melany C.

    From the very beginning the host was great to adjust our seating arrangements and made us comfortable. The jazz live band was INCREDIBLE!! Made my whole trip to NY worth it. The burger was juicy and the tuna tartare was refreshing had a vinaigrette at the bottom that was wonderful. They also give complementary plate while you watch the band. Very dark and sexy ambiance. 5/5 all the way!!

    This is such a cute bar! They had jazz night going on and charge a cover for that so my friend and I opted not to pay that and just listen to the jazz while sitting in the area where you can't see the musicians. It was just as fun and we had a good time listening to the music and chatting. The drinks themselves were okay - not many mocktail options but plenty of alcoholic drinks to choose from.

    I truly thought this place was a 10/10! The staff was super nice, attentive to drink and food orders and generally added a positive vibe to the experience. I had the poached salmon which I thought was some of the best salmon I ever had. The steak was also really good along with the wedge salad. It was a bit pricey for the portion sizes but definitely worth a visit to try the cocktails and food on a nice night out. They also played live music from their piano which added to the ambience!

    This was the one reservation I had during my trip, and it happened to be in a part of town I wasn't familiar with. Getting here wasn't too bad though, and I arrived right on time for my 5p reservation. Entrance is under the ACME sign which is next to the red door that has a '9' above, which may be confusing to some on their first try. When you enter, you are right in the Parlor area where the host stand is off to the side. I was walked into the next room where the piano was, given a nice seat facing the bar. Going a completely different direction than what I had intended, I went from the club sandwich to the wedge salad, and I actually ordered a drink (a low-proof French 75). A trio of snacks was brought out, and I attempted to delicately demolish the popcorn and some of the chips, leaving the olives. This wedge salad was really good! I figured I was eating junk so far throughout my stay that this would somehow balance it out. Having pears in it certainly didn't hurt, and this was a refreshing choice. It was a little on the salty side which may have been the dijon vinaigrette but was enjoyable overall. As for the drink, I paced this with my water and finished it right at the end of my salad. Someone started playing the piano before I received my food, and among the 'traditional' choices, I swear I heard an obscure favorite of mine (Where Is My Mind? from the Sucker Punch soundtrack) which was pretty cool and unexpected. The restroom was located right before the kitchen where the door is right off the dining room; a little awkward so just watch where you're going so you don't run into the staff. My experience with the staff, the food, the decor, all of the above was great. I certainly chose the right place for my one 'going-out' night, and I look forward to returning on a future visit. *Big thanks to Chris (Kris? Cris?) who assisted me over the phone more than once with making the reservation, and with a minor discrepancy which was corrected immediately once addressed.

    The service at The Nines was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. The food was very good and their are so many different options of snacks to pair with your cocktails. Even though it was busy, everything came out on time and we never felt rushed. I'd definitely go back.

    Best jazz club I've been to--outstanding food, incredible vibe, and top-tier entertainment all night. The music sets the perfect mood, the crowd is lively but not overwhelming, and everything from the service to the atmosphere feels polished. Definitely a must-visit if you want great live jazz paired with a full experience.

    Gorgeous speakeasy with delicious cocktails! One of my fav in ny. Jazz music started at 6pm on a Sunday night.

    This place is amazing! We booked the dinner service for my boyfriend's birthday. There is a $45 charge per person to attend the jazz showing. It does not go towards the bill so this is a pricey experience but so worth it! Music is wonderful. Food was excellent specifically the branzino was one of the best I've ever had! Drinks were strong. Very boujee manhattan vibes if that is what you're looking for. Would love to go back!

    I was looking for a place to spend my 32nd birthday with great food and better atmosphere. The Nines did not disappoint. From the second we walked in the vibe was exactly what I was looking for. It was like being transported back to the 1920's with everything red, velvety, dark and sexy. The food was amazing. We started with the oysters and tartar that were really flavorful. My steak was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. My fiancé had the burger and he is still talking about it. We are already planning our next trip back!

    Came here on a Sunday night and had a great evening. The host/hostesses aren't the best, but once inside the main bar area things were great. We had a lovely bartender, all of our food was delicious and the performers were wonderful. I highly recommend for a night out.

    I came for a late Friday dinner with a couple friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. Although we made a reservation, it still took a decent amount of time for us to get seated (~15 min). We were seated near the pianist, so it's definitely a bit on the louder side - wouldn't recommend this as a spot to catch up with friends but maybe more to enjoy the music (and you can request songs at least the day I was there which I regret not doing). We ordered some drinks - the Nines and Hotel Nacional. I quite liked the Nines - it was fruity and not too sweet, although my friend didn't love the aftertaste. I tried the Hotel Nacional which I had debated getting but glad I didn't since the taste more closely resembled cough syrup in my opinion. The drinks are also very much on the pricier end (think the Nines was ~$26), so not sure if I really think it's worth it. As for food, we just ordered a bunch of plates to share including the tuna tartare, Gnudi, duck pommes frites, and the fries. I didn't have super high expectations for the food but it was actually pretty good albeit small portions. The tuna tartare tastes fresh and has a slight fishy flavor (but in a good way in the sense that the natural flavor feels preserved/not overpowered by the other ingredients). The tuna was served with these small crackers that resemble mini bread slices that were a perfect thickness/crunch to pair with the tuna. I also loved the flavor and crisp of the duck pommes frites but sadly they only come with 3 thick slices of fries, so definitely felt a bit overpriced. The Gnudi was also not bad and were kind of gnocchi-like, so it was more on the heavier side. I personally don't love gnocchi but even I thought it was objectively pretty good and my friends loved it. Lastly, the fries were quite good - skinny and perfectly crisp. Overall, our experience was pretty good - I don't think this would be a regular spot just because of how expensive drinks/food are but would be good for special occasions. My main qualm was the service - it took forever for us to flag our waiter down to order more food and ask for the check even though we'd literally be making direct eye contact with them. Additionally, the restaurant doesn't allow for people to take pictures with flash and if you bring in a cake, they charge extra for if you eat it there - so just a heads up if you plan on having a birthday dinner, etc. here.

I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.
