Great food, service, atmosphere, and view.
What a fantastic experience! We ate in multiple restaurants in LA Jolla during our 5-day stay and our dinner at Nine Ten is the one that stood out. For a similar price, other places offered a nice dining experience but Nine Ten is just another level: fine dining at an affordable price. Our favorites: the pork belly and fig salad appetizers; the lamb entree; and both the half cooked chocolate cake and the upside down prune cake. All delicious!!!
