My wife and I have not had much luck with dining out lately so when it came to picking a restaurant for our anniversary dinner I was nervous that I would find the right place.
I came across Nine Elm and read the reviews. They were amazing. So we made a reservation but I was still cautiously optimistic. Things could not have gone better!
We arrived and where we were seated was noising, not what we wanted for an anniversary dinner. When I asked the waitress if there was a quieter spot she went to speak to the manager in we were moved immediately.
The general atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the staff is very friendly but professional.
The wine was lovely and the food delicious. We ordered the duck and the swordfish special and they were both cooked to perfection. For dessert we split a Creme Brule. The custard was light and creamy a pleasant surprise. We had an amazing time. We will be back!

I have never had nothing but a great meal here! I have tried everything on their menu The Fillet Mignon you can almost cut with a fork!

What a great night we had! Jackie was our bartender and server. She was attentive, observant and very personable—our kind of bartender. The food was spectacular and presented beautifully from the bread service to the shrimp crostini app, filet mignon (and sides) and crème brûlée. Wines were very nice, too, with generous pours. It was my husband’s birthday and we both loved it. We will definitely be back soon.

Everything was great. One of the better restaurants on the north shore. Everything we had was delicious! Service was great and fast too! Will be coming back

I give up. This restaurant used to be our go to night out. The meal we had today will be our last. Overcooked duck, and scallops that smell so bad we couldn’t eat them. Quality has been slipping for years, but we held and tired to give them the benefit of the doubt. Tonight was too much. Goodbye 9 Elm.

Went to 9 Elm on Wednesday for a birthday dinner with a friend. She ordered the filet mignon and me the pork chop. Both were mouthwatering and cooked to perfection! The pork chop was served on a bed of delicious chipotle mashed sweet potatoes along with a side of asparagus and carrots. We did order the stuffed dates also for an appetizer…Yum! For dessert we had the crème brûlée and chocolate cake. Both were excellent! They have an awesome cocktail menu as well. Our server Jillian, (Wednesday nights), was super friendly, accommodating and attentive! Don’t miss out on this gem of a restaurant!

First time here and we had a table for 8. Everyone was very satisfied and was so efficient it felt like we were a table for four. We can't wait to return soon and are planing our next visit.👍👍

Great cozy atmosphere. Pretty small and intimate. The person taking care of me Saturday night with an above the shoulder length hair was excellent. Knowledgeable about allergies as I have a dairy allergy and it was easy to order with them. I highly recommend the filet mignon! I switched the sides to accurate my allergy. The asparagus was really delicious though! Along with the potatoes. I’m glad I got the sauce on the side however because it was a bit sweet. Lemon sorbet is the only dairy free option available.

The food was good and above expectations for Danvers, the service and restaurant experience was below average; not high end, but townie and unrefined.

Food and service is always top notch. I always get the same seat same bartender every time I'm in here. I intentionally coming here when the calendar 📅 date has a 9 in it to make it that much more special in my mind anyways... I highly recommend this place to anyone. Good for couples. This place is always packed every time I'm in here but I always sit at the bar....
