Review Highlights
Loading...
I and one companion ate here Oct. 16, a Saturday night. Dress code is business casual, so we each wore a shirt with button- down collar and slacks, and seemed to fit right in with most of the people dining there.
The Palms seems to be targeting a younger, hip crowd, so the decor at the N9ne Steakhouse was not the traditional library with dark wood motif.
Instead it was more like a club, with purple lighting, a bar in the center and somewhat loud music and conversations.
The food, however, was great. I had the onion soup, 12 oz. filet mignon and Julie's hot potatoes, and my friend had the clam chowder, 22 oz. porterhouse and we shared an order of sauteed mushrooms. We both thought they were the best steaks we had ever eaten.
Prices were not cheap. The steaks were about $55 each, sides are around $12.
Service was top- notch. Since we were older and considerably less beautiful than their target demographic, my companion, in his mid- 50's, was a little uncomfortable there, having expected a traditional steakhouse experience. I was ok with it because the food and service was so good. I half expected to see Paris and her two little dogs eating porterhouse steaks at the next table; but alas, it was not meant to be!
There are so many great steakhouses in Vegas, and while this one doesn't quite hit the mark Crafsteak or Vic's at the Nugget does, it has it's moments, and is a great place for a large group of six or more.
We tried a variety of the app's typical steak house stuff, served up with a lot of flair (big ice boats surrounding the huge shrimp, careful finishes on soups and perfect saucing on bite sized appetiezers).
One of the reasons this is a great place for groups is because the entrees are served up in a platter, making it easy, if your party should chose to share just about everything including the generous sides which are big enough for three.
Above average dry aged steaks served sauced with a wine reduction, shell fish is steamed and very fresh.
Pick hits: Lobster bisque, truffled mashed or baked potato, out of this world gnocci, market lobster,
Very loud and racous, party crowd on weekends for sure, great service none the less.
I'll be back.
Reservations a must.
If this restaurant only served gnocchi. I would definitely still be here. Even if they served it on a dirty ashtray I would still eat it. Yes...It is that good !!! I seem to always find myself at the counter ordering these sides for take out. These little pillows of dense potato goodness, yummy. I cannot resist.. I have an addiction. An addiction to truffle gnocchi. It is like crack for food lovers.
Did I mention the GNOCCHI?

One of my favorite steak houses. Order the bone in ribeye and you cannot go wrong. The gnocchi is… Read more »
I lovvvveeeeee this place!! I can't get enough!! When in town and time permits, we are there!! Steak is not my thing...that's how good this place is!!! Jumbo Shrimp and Lump crab...I need to stop by. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!
So far, best steakhouse I have been to. I give it a 5 star. But to forewarn, it is pricey. BUT the food is incredible. Service is also great! Its very loud, so I would not go here if you are expecting quiet intimate time. More of a 'hip' crowd.
I got the 'Surf N Turf', which I had never tried until I came to N9ne. Since then, I have not yet to find any surf n turf to compare. It was an 8 oz filet minon with lobster tail, also served with lobster mash potatoes. Words cannot express how great the meal was. My boyfriend had the porterhouse (which he says was great), and my two good friends (who are yelpers as well) has a meal for two I believe.
For dessert, we had their version of S'Mores. Very tasty, but can get messy.
Presentation for both the meals and dessert was a five star. Service is a five star. Taste and quality, five stars.
Ok, let me start off by saying, we didn't really eat here. We had reservations and we had every intention of eating here, but couldn't. Let me tell you why. It was LOUD. And I don't mean that kind of loud where you might have to speak a little louder to chat with your dinner mates. I mean the kind of loud where the music is at nightclub level and you have to yell to have a conversation.
Now this might be a generation thing as my party of four are all in their 40s, but seriously, I just couldn't stay there. We asked the hostess for another recommendation and she immediately got us into Nove Italiano which was outstanding. They poured our drinks into plastic cups (so we could take them with us) and apologized - although they didn't owe us an apology...apparently we're just old!
The girls at the hostess desk and at the bar were great. It wasn't them. It was us. I just hadn't read any other reviews that mentioned the noise level so I just wanted others to be aware.
Went here for a bachelor party dinner. Scene was just enough to get us ready for a night out but not over the top. Split the 40 oz bone in ribeye with the truffled twice baked potato. Also tried the lobster bisque. This food was easily a 5. The lobster bisque had an incredibly dense lobster flavor. The steak was cooked to perfection and served sliced in its own pan. The peppercorn sauce that came with it was just about the best thing I've ever tasted. I expected the potato to just have some truffle oil drizzled over the top. The thing came out with 4 big slices of real truffle shaved atop. Other people raved about the wedge salad with blue cheese and the 18 oz bone in filet.
Some people may not like this but I liked the fact that there were TVs all over the place to watch your football wagers win. There were only two downsides. The hostesses were wanna be models who clearly thought they were too good to work there. Service was otherwise great. The wine list was a bit pricey. We tried a bottle of the cheapest red for $60. It was not good, We had to get something else.
It was a friend's birthday and she decided to celebrate here. There were only 9 of us and we went on a Wednesday night, and it was my first time.
First off, great ambience, and the staff was quite friendly. Our service was good, and the food was excellent. I indulged in their sashimi appetizer, which was fresh and quite tasty; definitely a great start. Instead of the steak (I know, I know lol) I opted for a Kobe burger cooked medium rare, and I couldn't be happier (wish I could've finished it but at least I got to take the rest home ;P). I sampled a few other things also off of everyone else's plate, such as the potato leek soup, and potato gnocchi in truffle sauce... that alone to me was worth it!
I really liked that they offered "organic" items on their menu. Kudos for that!
As a bonus, I actually just found out a friend was working there since I saw him bussing tables and told him it was my friend's birthday. They came out with a beautiful dessert "stone palette" with the words "Happy Birthday" on it in chocolate. The smores were awesome, as were the two types of ice cream/gelato and cake. Well presented and super yummy.
Would definitely dine here again. :)
Nine is what it is a fun environment, good looking crowd, but you will pay the price in the end.
Food is decent with some fun dishes involved. Service was adequate and I would definitely return again as I have several times even though I don't love it. Crowd pleaser.
Incredible food/service/ambiance - 5 stars.
We went here with a party of about 40 and they pulled it off when we were over by about 10 people and an hour late! The bar was just beautiful, great drinks (which we had plenty of waiting for our very late guests to arrive from LA!) and celebreties galore filled this place. We had one of the best seafood platters I've ever had and after all the seafood and cocktails, I barely touched my bone-in rib-eye but the flavor was just amazing. Make sure you order the shrooms - ta die for.
We had a taste of every desert imaginable at the table and everything was heavenly, however, by that time, well,, at that point, they could have sliced up a twinkee and I would sit here at tell you it was the most incredible desert I've ever had. haha Trust me on the rest.
Palms Hotel is one of my Fav Hotels to go to as a local anyways - head up to the Playboy lounge afterwards. Enjoy!
My husband and I ate here while on a business trip and just loved everything about it. Before 9 I though AJ Maxwell in New York had the best steak and seafood. My salmon was the best prepared salmon I have EVER had in my life in a restaurant. My husband loved his steak.
My lobster mash potatoes was amazing. The complimentary sample dish sent out was fabulous (can't remember what is was called).
The crowd was a fun mix of the hip and young, older and chic, entertainment and sports crowd and after hours business type. Music was nice and loud.
The prices were a bit high, but I would spend all over again because the service was great and the food was yummy!
Great food, pretty pricey - the major draw is the crowd, ambiance, and proximity to rain and other palms nightclubs. Filled with bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, or other groups, there are probably better date spots, but you can't go wrong kicking off the night with a small group here. Ask your server to help you bypass the line at rain and tip him/her well.
This was one of our first "dining experiences" ever in Vegas, and this was about 2 years ago. Needless to say I don't exactly remember what we ate, so I'm not going to go into all that.
What I can tell you is that this place is very trendy and the bartenders are super friendly. I remember our meal being excellent, and we really enjoyed our time at n9ne!
5 stars for two reason,
- The steak melts in my mouth like ice cream.
- S'mores, yes I said s'mores.
This is a great steakhouse. The carpaccio was excellent and my fillet was perfect. The only downside is it is pricey, even for Vegas. The atmosphere is more trendy than your traditional stuffy steakhouse, so it is a louder less intimate scene.
Yummmm. For 6 of us we ordered:
- 2 orders of the 40 oz ribeye for two (way too much for two)
- Shrooms
- Rock Shrimp
- Skinny fries
- tons of drinks
We could not finish the meat. We had leftovers that were consumed later that night at 2am by three hungry drunk girls. It was just as good then.
I went here with some of the guys last year and we were looking for some 'serious' toned and slender meat. I encouraged the guys to try this place in the Palms Hotel after hearing about it from some other friends.
The decor is modern as the restaurant is cast in a slighter darker environment with blue hues coming from the ceiling to give it a nice effect.
Our main dish between five guys was 2 Ribeyes that were 40 oz each..... OMG.... the meat was prepared 'perfectly' in my opinion and each bite was so tender and flavorful with its' pepper-seared taste.
I had a lobster bisque before dinner that was perfect in its own manner, but, thinking back, I probably didn't need to order it as I was severely stuffed from eating all that steak.
Nice time I'm in Vegas, I'm coming back for another visit and bringing a nice bottle of Red to enjoy with dinner....
I recommend fully... and then some.
Our dinner here last summer is one of the most delicious filet I have ever had. It was cooked to perfection and the sides were fabulous- the potato was enormous and their spinach and mushrooms were plentiful. The scene was trendy and we sat next to a NBA basketball player (we didn't know which one because neither one of us could see him and we didn't want to be rude and stare).
The service was decent, a bit slow, but it was also a very busy evening. The delicious food makes up for the slow service- it was also enjoyable to have a leisurely dinner. The scotch my fiance ordered was forgotten (either by the bartender or the waiter) but when the waiter realized he hadn't received it, received a double on the house (it was more than a double, the entire glass was filled).
Great food and a fabulous experience.
3.5 stars
This place feels more like a club/lounge than a traditional steakhouse, but don't let that fool you. The food is actually not that bad. Not bad at all.
Let's get straight to the point - the food. I ordered the 24 oz bone-in rib eye, and it tasted great. The only problem was that I didn't feel like the meat was top quality. There was definitely too much fat that needed to be cut off. The meat texture wasn't all that great either. But again, the taste of the meat was great.
As far as the appetizers - PASS. We ordered some type of fried shrimp starter which came, seriously, in a paper box. One of my friends hit the nail right on the head when it he remarked that "it looks like something from popeyes." It literally came out 5 minutes after we ordered. There's no question that it was microwaved or that it was just sitting underneath a heater waiting for people willing to shell out $12 for an order. You might as well pay $1.99 for the popcorn shrimp at Popeyes.
The sides were not bad. We had the lobster mashed potatoes and also the garlic bean sprouts. The bean sprouts were great. The lobster mashed potatoes were also good. They weren't quite as good as the lobster mashed at Mastro's, but still pretty good. However, the portions were miniscule. At least the steaks were hearty enough to fill our stomaches.
Ambiance - the place had purple club/lounge vibe with heavy hip hop music blaring and just a large bustle. There were a couple of plasma TVs behind the bar and also in the "private" rooms (with see-through glass doors).
Apparantly, the place is popular among celebrities, or at least athletes. Halfway through our meal, Juwan Howard, Michael Finley, and Howard Eisley sat down at the table right behind us, about 1 feet away. Two of those guys are worth at least $100 million and Eisley is worth at least $55 million. I wanted to ask them to pay for my steak. My friends wanted to ask them why they sucked so bad.
Lastly, price. The steaks are a bit steaper in price than the average steak place. I think it was approximately $55 or $60 per steak.
Overall, I was satisfied with the meal. It wasn't the best, but it exceeded the expecations I had (low). I would definitely go back if a friend wanted to, but I would prefer to try another one of the many well-reputed steak joints in town.
Before I knew there was wagyu beef... there was THE 24 OZ BONE IN RIB EYE. *_____*
I was DYING to come here after I saw the special they had on Food Network. The first night I was in Vegas me and my boy made reservations and off we went!
For starters...
Kobe Carpaccio: First time I had carpaccio. WOW. This was FANTASTIC. No carpaccio has ever tasted the same ever since I had it here. The Kobe beef made the carpaccio taste THAT much better. The meat was super tender and flavorful.
Lobster Bisque: There were plenty of chunks of lobster in this! The lobster... I couldn't get enough of the lobster! It was the BEST lobster I've ever had. It was melt in your mouth good, not rubbery AT ALL. The soup itself tasted great, also. The lobster pieces just made it even BETTER!
Ceasar Salad: As the menu says "as it should be". I can always appreciate a good ceasar salad. =)
We probably shouldn't have ordered so many appetizers because it was filling. But we didn't know what full REALLY meant until our entree and sides came out...
Bone In Rib Eye: This was a MASSIVE steak. We couldn't finish it all! And with no microwave or fridge in our room, it was soooooo sad. But we totally indulged. Melt in your mouth goodness. I couldn't expect it to be any better! =)
Roasted Mushroom & Onions (Side): Delicious as they should be! And all the sides were BIG servings. It better be since you have to order the sides seperately!
Potato Gnocchi With Truffle Cream (Side): *droooool* Anything with truffle... *droooool* Flavorful but a little heavy. I think this could have been an entree on its own!
Lobster Cheese Mashed Potatoes (Side): Buttery lobster + cheese + potatoes = FABULOUSNESS. Best side dish EVER. Words can't explain. You just have to come here and eat it. =)
I totally want to come back here next time I come to Vegas. I loved the meal from beginning to end... including the limping I had to do to get out of the restaurant because I was soooooo full!
fun,hip scene... to see & be seen. great way to start our vegas night. we made reservations & were seated within 5 minutes, great service.
we loved our dinner!
hub LOVED his 24oz bone-in rib eye steak. charred to perfection, tender, juicy, & simply put......DAMN GOOD!!!! it was huge though, had to take half back to our room, fortunately we had a fridge. since this review is about a year late, hub doesn't remember if its THE BEST steak he's ever had. guess will have to go back & find out.... that is if we ever go back to vegas.....
i LOVED my sea scallop dish. large tender flavorful scallops that melted in my mouth w/ fava beans, artichokes, heirloom cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms & lemon-tarragon vinaigerette.
i'm pretty sure i got dessert but at this point don't remember.
I believe in some cases that the harder they try, the more harshly you should judge them. Thus is my approach to reviewing N9NE, which (much like the clientele at the Palms) goes all out to show you how hip it can be and hopes you will overlook some details. The ambiance was nice, the food was decent but not great and the overall experience was just ok. 2.5 stars and I will break my rounding-up trend for aforementioned reasons.
Our appetizers were the popcorn shrimp and the crab-stuffed mushrooms. I'd say they were enjoyable, but for the price they should have been much better.
For my main course, I had the bone-in ribeye (the cut I always order) and a side of lobster mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked as requested, and it's pretty good meat, comparable to Ruth's Chris. I've certainly had better steaks for the money, but there was nothing wrong with it. My other friends' steaks were similar in that they were satisfying but not amazing. The lobster mashed potatoes were a bit of a disappointment, I wish I had gone with a baked potato.
We skipped dessert because of the quality of the meal and the fact that we started our meal really late. Props to the (rather gorgeous) hostess who was very friendly and accommodating. She seated us a good 30 minutes after our reservation time (which was the last time slot at which they would take one), and I think they might have even kept the kitchen open for us. That's great service.
Apparently, you can't bring in outside wine, which sucked for us because one of the guys in our group works at a winery and had some amazing wine with him. N9NE claims that it's a state law (I have a feeling that's not true, but what do I know).
One of the things that brought this review down to two stars was at the very end of the meal. Our server already wasn't that attentive, maybe she was annoyed with the late seating or the fact that we didn't buy a bottle of wine. But at the end of the meal, after she had run our cards and brought the credit card slips to the table, she told us: "now sign one copy and leave it for the restaurant."
Are you serious? Anyone dropping this kind of money on a meal has clearly eaten at a sit-down restaurant before and knows how to pay the fucking bill. It's possible this is a standard instruction, but based on her tone I am quite sure it's not. Also, of all the times you could possibly offend your customers, why would you do it as close as possible to when they decide how much to tip?
We ended up here after reading glowing reviews from the Yelpers. However, it turned out to be as fun and cool to look at as it is to eat. Although our pretty waitress/bartender in the circular bar in the middle of the resto did comment that the lighting makes things look funny- so your steak is kinda blue. Watch out for the drinks here 3 glasses of wine ended up costing $84! We enjoyed 3 courses, seafood, steak, fries and 2 desserts. The scallops and steak were perfectly cooked- like actual perfection. The place was packed- recession what?
BEST STEAKHOUSE IN VEGAS.
Service - Impeccable
Atmosphere - Hip, chic, full of A-list celebs and sports stars
Food: Superb
I'm always impressed with something new on the menu. They actually have decent fish in the sashimi starter. The GARBAGE SALAD is a standard go-to. All the sides are good
The desserts are amazing. You can make your own smores at the table. This is the only carrot cake I will eat - it's basically 4 sticks of butter with a little carrot cake mixed in.
And of course the steak - it's the best I've had in Vegas. The "bone-in ribeye" here is lights out.
This is one of my favorite restaurants/steakhouse in Vegas. I can't say that I have been to every steakhouse in Vegas though. Everytime we go to Vegas we try to eat here. I always leave stuffed. Definitely try the smores dessert and their lobster mashed potatoes. I think I normally get the filet mignon and it's always awesome. The place is consistently good.
Seems like a place celebrities go bc I have seen a few there before. It's def a cool, party atmosphere.
N9ne's got that dang digga-dang da-dang da-dang dang.
Let's boogie.
SERVICE is "absolutely" attentive, friendly, and professional.
FOOD is Fresh.
1. Seafood: Oyster & caviar = Refreshing, Prawn & Crab leg = some healthy meat on these guys.
2. Kobe burger: I have to admit that I do not like fresh cut fries until I came to N9ne. They always soak up too much oil and tend to come out tan brown. So generally, I like the pre-made fries that are fried (i.e. Fatburger fat fries and the like). However, the brick-like gangster fries that accompany the Kobe burger are stupendous. They come out piping hot, so let them sit for a minute. The portion is deceptively generous. (Even to the trained eye with an appetite, it looked as if it could have been conquered. Not even close.) This burger is so rich that it gets gender specific because it's hard to go through it alone - if you are a girl. I must note that this delicious burger was so rich, it was hard for me to digest. But that's purely a personal hiccup because I don't eat meat often so it's always hard for me to digest beef.
3. Killing Me Sweetly. You got it - time for Desserts.
Tried the whole dessert menu. So, out comes a marble slab as long as a coffee table with every dessert that is offered at the restaurant. The pix do not give it justice of how massive the dessert sampler is. Because of this, my party closed down the place far past the closing hour.
After the intial shock & intial purring, immediately, universal mind control took hold. I knew I liked it and all of them were calling my name. I loved all the desserts and so to break down each and every dessert would probably make this review my longest one ever. Since all the desserts were sinfully seducing, it's safe to order any dessert here and walk away happy.
However, something worth mentioning is the colossal carrot cake. I love carrot cake. But through the years, I've come across many a carrot cakes suffocating in cinnamon & nutmeg. To the point where I stopped selecting carrot cake as a dessert option. Then, I come here and eat my favorite carrot cake to date. Now, to the masses who have become used to the heavy cinnamoned & overpowered nutmegged out carrot cakes, this carrot cake might taste too mild for you. Honestly, this is how a perfect carrot cake should taste.
4. Drinks are on par.
AMBIANCE: Love the blue lighting and the restaurant layout. Very spacious with high ceilings and even though the place was filled to capacity, I didn't get that crowded feeling. Mix of LA vibe, Sex & the City night out, & a touch of Vegas. Plus, Kid Rock & entourage and one of Russell Simmons guy was there. Whoooooooo's house? Run's house. (Run DMC wasn't there though. Whaddaya gonna do!)
Peep the pix.
Parking = self (free) & valet parking. Own lot.
Location = in the corner. To the right of the line that forms for the bottom entrance of Ghost Bar.
(4.5 stars, rounded up for good measure.)
I went here for my bachelorette party last year & was here last weekend with my husband and family. I would say it doesn't feel like a steakhouse, but more like a lounge that serves steak. I did enjoy the ambiance, very Vegas-like with the colorful lighting and the upbeat music. Reservations is a must.
We started with the caviar on creme fraiche & potato pancakes. Yummy. For our entree we ordered the bone-in ribeye for 2 for $89. It was delicious! The service was excellent & our sommelier did a superb job. Along with the bottle of wine, we spent $200 for the 2 of us. Not bad. Can't wait to try their other dishes.
Look, let's make this quick. The steaks are pretty good, the rest, while sounding absolutely amazing on the menu wasn't really anything to write home about. Not 'bad', just nothing special.
If I was one of those people who really enjoys a crazy busy, hip, chic scene, or if I'd had a few more drinks in me, then perhaps I would have enjoyed the meal more. It was too much like sitting in a nightclub having dinner, vs. having a great dinner at a place which also has a nice barscene. The two are simply too intermingled for my taste.
As for all the comments on the prices, whatever. It's Vegas, it's a steakhouse, and they spent a fortune on the place. So yeah, it's expensive. But not like that should be a surprise to anyone. If you're wanting to see and be seen then I can think of worse ways to spend your money, if you're simply looking for a fantastic meal where you can hold a conversation then there are better places to be.
If I were God and I was faced with the task of writing Heaven's menu, I would draw a significant amount of my inspiration from the folks over at N9NE. Most restaurants, like most people, have an area of weakness. In my two visits to N9NE, I have yet to find theirs.
Everything is good. The scallops are fantastic, the lobster mac and cheese is... well, lobster mac and cheese, the cocktail list is inventive, and, while you'll be hard pressed to find less than stellar service anywhere in Vegas, that at N9NE is a step above the rest. Food, service, cocktails, ambiance... N9NE is the complete 5 star package.
The best of the best? The surf in turf is stacked (cited from the bottom up): mashed potatoes, a mouth watering filet, and de-shelled lobster, which is then topped with a truffle cream sauce. Yea.
If I were to dare speak a bad word about N9NE, it would only be that as rich and heavy as the food here is it doesn't always make for the best "party till the sun comes up in my barely there Vegas-only attire" precursor. After dinner in both of my experiences I felt a lot more like going and trying out the plush hotel beds you pay an arm and a leg for and never use than I did raging. In an effort to keep the party going, I suggest a round of espresso cocktail shots for the table.
Prices are steep. Luckily money and calories aren't an object in my heaven.
One of my favorite steak houses in town... This place has the ambiance and the crowd of late night club hoppers. Tucked away in the corner of the glorious Palm's casino this is a spot to top all spots. Champagne glass tower in the middle, a fantastic menu of filet cuts, and the side dishes to put the bar that much higher. 5 outta 5 baby!!!
I have been here so many times..used to live in Vegas and this is one of the best restaurant bar scenes there is. Loud music, hot people, great food, tasty drinks. be prepared to drop a wad of cash-but it's worth it!!
I love this steakhouse. The filet was great- marble cut and cooked to perfection. Melts in your mouth. Creamed corn was good- not as perfect as lawrys but pretty good- like palms. Breads were great- caesar salad perfect. Baked potato was big - so share that.
House wine selection was great- very smooth cabs. I would advise on opting for the lobster tail to share- maybe get a large cut filet and add a lobster tail- definitely enough food for 2.
Service was great- waiters are attentive but not overly. Atmosphere is the cool modern lighting and bar in the middle.
Best steak that I ever had in vegas!
VEGAS BABY!!! I am sure we have heard that enough so I will be sure not to use it again in any Vegas related reviews ... but I had to get one in there for the heck of it.
I have been to N9NE a few times (located inside the Palms Hotel & Casino near the front desk). The entrance is actually leading to an elevator right past the entrance to Ghost Bar (which is also pretty cool). The staff is very friendly and welcoming from the initial greeter to the waiter and his helper. In a town with a lot of great dining, service is the next thing to look for and N9NE delivers on both from beginning to end. It is very pricey but what "A" or 5 Star quality restaurant isn't? You definitely pay for what you get and it is worth it.
Food is fantastic here and if you do not like something, they will not hesitate to correct that. Portions are smaller but funny thing, I walked out of there completely full. N9NE is primarily a steak house but the seafood is outstanding here as well. I didn't make it to desserts this time around but did see them at other tables and they looked amazing.
I would definitely recommend N9NE for a special date night or a business dinner to impress. The atmosphere is dim lighted but not terrible and you never know who might be dining there either ... after all, it is Vegas.
Favorite dish: Rock Shrimp Appetizer, these bite size gems are amazing. Be warned though because the container they come in is misleading as it is only half filled.
Go out and EAT!
my boyfriend and i ate at n9ne for our anniversary dinner. we're young (poor) so we didn't go all out but we still had a nice, filling meal. we ordered the 8 oz filet mignon with bearnaise sauce (they gave us each 4 oz), lobster mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. we ordered the steak medium rare and it literally melted in my mouth -- very good steak! not so keen on the sauce though. the lobster mashed potatoes were good but nothing special. the mac n cheese was sooo incredible and made me glad we chose to eat at n9ne. i recommend dipping the steak into the mac n cheese. i only wish i had the money to blow on more steak.
service was alright. we had two servers and they were good at refilling out water glasses but they seemed kinda annoyed that we didn't order much and i had to ask them to bring bread (three kinds which weren't very good). nice ambiance and good food -- just not sure if the food was worth the price given my student budget.
let me tell you why i'm a fan:
sangria (one of the best i had) and free pass to moon/playboy casino.
therefore, it was worth paying $100 for a couple of good drinks and decent steak dinner, then bypass long line and cover to da club afterwards.
p.s. joe jackson (mj's father) sighting at the restaurant was not a part of why it's worth $100.
This place is always a sure bet after years of going! There is something about sitting at the bar that makes it even better. Love Love the steak and the gnocci and lobster mac and cheese is unbelieveable. Favorite spot to have a dirty martini. They play the latest music and the crowd is fun to watch. The bartenders are really great and take care of you.
I still love how the lights change color for some reason its almost entrancing...The middle circle bar is a nice architectural draw and the ambience rocks
have a drink with john the bartender before dinner.
if you can't score a table then enjoy a fun dinner at the circular bar.
the bartender is some sparkly and beautiful girl who dangerously plys you with their signature espresso shots. you'll often see jesse the stylish gm making the rounds.
the garbage salad is popular with the ladies but who said i was one?
heh heh. so we opted for the sashimi n9ne. big eye tuna, salmon and hamachi.
followed with the surf and turf - a filet mignon and lobster special with white truffle aioli and a red wine sauce. we played "healthy" and added in the grilled asparagus. gotta have your veggies.
and of course, save room for dessert since you'll be dancing it off at the club afterwards anyways. i know we did!
Everything about the meal was excellent. I ordered the surf and turf which was amazing and my date ordered 2 pounds (yes, TWO pounds!) of crablegs and oyster shooters. Everything tasted absolutely amazing. Service was amazing. Atmosphere great. Definitely 5 stars, nothing to complain about.
Tip: Be prepared to drop some $$$ though! Well worth it though!

The Steak and Fries
Ok, so that's 4 words, but it's really only about that Ribeye and the fries. I never knew a Bone-in Ribeye existed till I ate at N9NE. It was like something out of the flintstones, HUGE and DEEELICIOUS. I couldn't finish it. I was definitely full from the appetizers. We had a cold shellfish platter, fresh and amazing. They have wonderful seafood at a steakhouse. But my favorite thing was the truffle fries. I'm not a huge fan of fries but these fries could be an accompaniment to my death row meal.
Everyone knows this place is modern, sleek and sexy. It adds to the dining experience. If you don't want to go for a long drawn out dinner, opt for the bar and have one of their specialty cocktails and an order of truffle fries. If you opt for dinner, the Bone-in Ribeye is the way to go.
*Special shout out to Andy & Tiff for taking us out to an incredible dinner.
This place is amazing. Great ambiance. Had dinner here after our wedding and it was amazing! Six people, our tab was 800 or so after tip but it was worth it! I had the 50 filet mignon, everyone drank great drinks and the service was impeccable. The desert we had was amazing as well. Best dinner ive had ever. Staying at the palms was awesome as well
