“Husband and I had been wanting to try this place for a year, so we headed over this morning to arrive just after opening. Upon arrival, there were only 3 tables of 2-tops in the entire restaurant. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. It took a good 7-8 minutes before a server came by to greet us and pour our waters, but she was friendly and smiling. I took the time in between sitting down and receiving service to use the restroom, which was mostly clean and orderly. I ordered decaf, which she needed to brew, understandably. A few minutes later we ordered our food, and 5-6 minutes later, my coffee came out - lukewarm at best. Our veggie omelet, berry french toast and side of medium-well bacon took over 25 minutes to arrive and, though the plates were thoughtfully split for us to share, both orders were really disappointing. The omelet was missing avocado slices on top, it was mostly onions - long stringy ones with the "filmy" skin still attached - but, worse, the temperature was barely warm. No one wants to eat cold eggs. The french toast, though pretty to look at, was simply cold - cold bread, very tough to chew. The strawberries and blueberries were fresh, but the large raspberries not so much. The bacon, however, was hot and cooked perfectly - still sizzling just a bit. So, it was shocking to bite into cold french toast and a room-temperature, onion-filled omelet while holding a perfect specimen of bacon in my hand. To us, it appeared our main meals had been sitting "ready" quite some time while the bacon was being cooked. Unfortunately, as it was a late breakfast for us (especially waiting nearly 40 minutes between walking inside and actually receiving our food), we opted to eat it "as is". The immediate desire to send it back was overrun by grumbling tummies. It wasn't until after the server dropped our food off that I realized there was no jam for the toast. So, 3-4 minutes later, I stopped her in passing to ask for jam, which she retrieved from the kitchen for another piece of cold, chewy bread. A few minutes later, I stopped her again as she passed by, to ask for a coffee refill. At that time, I informed her the food was disappointing, specifically the cold french toast and coffee, but I forgot to mention the missing avocado on our omelet. She apologized and offered to replace the french toast, but I responded that we were too hungry to wait longer on hot food and also had somewhere else to be. We finished our plates quickly and, again, I drank lukewarm coffee. Even the table next to us complained to their server that the "fresh" coffee was "cold". Another server came by and picked up the majority of our plates attempting to clear the table. By now, it's approx. 11:45 and business was picking up. Since we hadn't received the bill yet, my husband headed to the restroom. While he was gone, our server came back, presenting me with a full order of french toast - as she took the last small stack of plates and our forks away. I explained that, while I appreciated the gesture, we were ready for the check. She suggested I take it "to go", stating she'd get a box. She did just that and presented the bill, which I thanked her for. Granted, it wasn't the worst experience ever. The server was sweet, just less attentive than what we'd consider average. As former industry professionals, including a Food and Bev/Banquet Manager and bar/restaurant owner - we trained our servers to check all plates against tickets before serving to ensure "correctness". Servers should know menu items top to bottom, especially the relatively small brunch menu they offer. Complaints re: cold coffee from guests warrant checking the machine and offering to heat it up in the microwave as a quick resolve. Most importantly, when food is "up", it goes out hot - don't hold it for a forgotten side dish. If we hadn't been so hungry, we would have sent it all back and left...which we have never done. It's frustrating to read the revi“
“This is one of my go to's for an intimate and warm experience. The food is seasonal and exquisite. Once i tried it I and my family became regulars. The warm service and ambiance were something my husband and I had been looking for. Great French inspired food, soothing live music and a maitre d' made us happy and continuous customers“
“Seems like the review by John Lie must have been confused, because this is a restaurant on a golf course, not a hotel. My fiance and I are planning our wedding here (Wedgewood Weddings partners with the Nines Restaurant) and every time we come by for a planning meeting we come eat at the Nines Restaurant. In particular we as always hope to see the bartender Jeff; whenever we stop in he gives us superb service, going above and beyond. (Good enough that we specifically requested he bar tend our wedding)“
“Had a wonderful lunch here. I had the gluten free vegetarian pizza with white sauce and my friend had the Santa Fe salad. Everything tasted great and our server Char was so kind and helpful. Char knows the menu like the back of her hand which made the experience smooth and quick.“
“No bartender showed up so we could only order beer/wine/soda. The crew on duty didn’t know how to turn the heat on inside, we were sitting outside anyway so that didn’t affect us. The outside heaters were turned off by staff at the request of ONE table, leaving the remaining 5 tables without heat until they left. Usually have rave reviews but this visit was all off.Kid-friendliness: Love the play structure for the little ones.“
“Pretty good food and drinks but very expensive for what you get. Good for a special occasion once in a while.2024 update - tried their Sheppard pie to go. Was too salty and the ground beef didn’t seem of high quality. Won’t be returning.“
