NINE-TEN Restaurant & Bar

Nima Sarrafi

The food quality is great. They serve brunch lunch and dinner on weekdays and only brunch and dinner on weekends. Staff are friendly. If the weather is good, choose to seat outside. Make sure to make a reservation if it is a busy time. The burger and the sashimi are awesome, don't forget about them.

Very great brunch choice by my cuz who hosted our visit in La Jolla. We ordered sourdough bread with sea salt butter, lettuce wrapped burger, ranchos huevos, truffle fries, shrimp sandwich. They were all delish 😍😍😍 The restroom is marbled like the Ritz. Nice ambience here at Nine Ten. Fun and reliable service as well

We enjoyed the cocktails and the appetizers. The pork belly and cacio e pepe (mushroom style) were delicious. The lamb shank special of the day was the superstar of the mains. The seared ahi was also really delicious. I think our family of diners just really appreciate porcini, maitake and oyster mushrooms when smoked/braised/toasted and adorning or accompanying sides. The service was also very kind and accommodating.

I will have to give this fine establishment five stars as in my opinion thus far it has been my best experience in San Diego restaurants... San Diego is not well known for it Michelin star restaurants or service for that matter and especially food. 9:10 comes pretty darn close to fulfilling that. Let's start with the appetizers: how much is sashimi was a terrific start with presentation and tastes all being very fine. Cacio e Pepe was one of my most favorite dishes I had at 9:10. Absolutely fantastic I can eat it all day for all of you who love mushrooms you will not be disappointed with this dish presentation texture flavor and overall depth of the dish. The sourdough house bread is very good I would suggest to get some additional salt to put on top of the butter to make it even more tasty of a treat. Beef tartare was adequate nothing special I would suggest the chef revisit this dish can either remove it from the menu or do something else that would elevate it to the other dishes level that I tried. My other favorite dish was the burrata salad it was just incredible all around flavors the pear the nuts everything worked so well another fine dish that you could eat all day everyday and be totally satisfied. The presentation was also terrific the layering the hidden surprise of that pair was just all terrific. Braised Colorado lamb with goat cheese agnoletti was also good but the best part of that dish was the goat cheese agnoletti if served differently as an a Michelin style those agnoletti's by themselves as a tasting menu would have been terrific. I would put them on the appetizer menu...If you love goat cheese and agnoletti it's just wonderful together. Overall the lamb is nothing special it doesn't get a little lost in the other ingredients and flavors I would have preferred a lamb chop mixed with those ingredients but that's just my preference overall the dish is pretty well balanced presentation is not too bad either. Roasted liberty farm duck breast absolutely amazing highly recommend the texture the flavors the presentation all of it works together very well very unique very satisfying. vanilla cream donuts for dessert are just fantastic I'm happy to say that the oil they used is not old as some establishments used fresh oil that it was deep fried in the French brioche is just terrific the cream it works fantastic and as a birthday treat I personally think the restaurant for that. Highly recommend I will be back and I hope to have the same experience thank you all so much
