Nine Mile

We had a good experience at 9 Mile in Asheville. We arrived before 6pm on a weeknight and there was already a wait to be seated inside so this place is popular spot with the locals. (and apparently with us non-locals too.) They can make just about anything on the menu with tofu so that's a plus for vegetarians. I had the "Nine Mile" nade with tofu mild and thought it was a tasty dish, not too spicy (They ask you to specify the heat.) The Natty Bread it came with...so the term "Natty bread" sounds like it was going to be something cool or more unique than it was. It's basically garlic bread with some different spices than you would typically have if getting it at an Italian restaurant. It was fine, but not particularly the exotic unique Caribbean bread fantasy I was hoping for. The salad my dish was served with was really fresh and enjoyable. The greens were fresh and the vegetables were crispy. I really liked the "His Majesty’s" (Sesame Garlic Tahini) dressing it came with. My wife liked it too though she had asked for the salad to be lightly dressed and it came pretty saturated. She finished the whole thing nonetheless. She also enjoyed her "Kingston 12", a tasty dish with shrimp. It's nice to have a place with so many vegetarian possibilities. We'd definitely come back.

Came into town for a mommy get away and stumbled upon this gem. At first our experience w/ the host wasn’t as pleasant as it could be, but our server Justin made us forget about it in every way. Let’s relish in the beauty of having our server Justin. What a cool cool man. Like he should be the host, the server, the boss and whole 9. Such a great and welcoming vibe and energy coming from him. Couldn’t thank him enough for his due diligence in making us comfortable and allowing a space for us to be welcomed. Couldn’t rant and rave more if I wanted to, I’m sure I’d run out of characters. The food we were surprisingly impressed with. It was hot and flavorful. Granted there were some minor tweaks to make it perfect, but damn delicious none the less!

This was a culinary experience from start to end! Our server Thomas H. was incredibly attentive and kind. We had the Live to Give appetizer and the Backyard Bowl & Soul Rebel for our entrees. Absolutely delicious! The layers of flavor and thought behind the dishes was perfect. We also enjoyed the Ginger Beer and Abita Root Beer. Highly recommend.

Ok, who knew one could find decent Caribbean style cuisine in the Carolina Mountains? Well, not only does Nine Mile provide but they simply 'Bring IT!' They add their own flare and touch to the traditional. Everything is fresh and appears to be sourced locally. Atmosphere is wonderful and service is spot on...
