9 Ryder Reviews
Finally made it to 9 Ryder and had a very nice night having dinner with a friend. We had the insalata mista, which was a very basic mixed greens salad. The description called it a lavender maple vinaigrette; however, I tasted neither in the dressing which read more like a balsamic. We also tried the special of figs stuffed with Gorgonzola and wrapped in prosciutto, which were delicious. For our entrees I had the lasagna, which was very good, and my friend had the stuffed flounder,...read full review
One of the best places to eat in Provincetown.
This is, by far, one of the most enjoyable experiences. There were 7 of us. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The hostess, Miley, told us stories and welcomed us. The food was exquisite. We had adults and 20 somethings. The stories were so engaging that I felt, from time to time, that I was perhaps on the coast of Italy than Provincetown, MA. Family owned truly made a family feel welcomed. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant for all!
9 Ryder is a unique and eccentric gem in Provincetown. The atmosphere is charming, with a great bar and the best seats in the house. The menu features fabulous dishes like lasagna, which has received praise, and fish dishes such as the stuffed flounder and stuffed squid. Strong drinks are served quickly, and the service is attentive, with friendly waitstaff. The restaurant has a kitschy setting that feels far from touristy, creating a welcoming family-owned vibe. However, there are some functional oddities to be aware of. Despite opening at 6, reservations can only be made after 5, leading to some disorganization in seating and order taking. The restaurant may forget courses ordered, like salads, and occasionally run out of menu items like tiramisu. Billing errors were also noted but were promptly corrected. Overall, the food and drinks are good, and the location on a pier in Ptown is lovely. While there are areas for improvement, such as the reservation system and organizational procedures, the restaurant shows promise and potential for a return visit. Highlights also include the Polpette meatballs appetizer, limoncello cake, and chocolate mousse, along with a solid wine selection.
