Flashy, fabulous Randolph Street steakhouse impresses with accomplished cuisine and glitzy atmosphere.

The Scene
More than four years after opening its doors, Nine still draws Chicago's beautiful people by the roomful to its glam dining area and hip upstairs Ghost Bar. All glass, mirrors, brown suede and shiny silver, the cavernous, super-sleek space is centered around a granite champagne and caviar bar supported by pillars that shimmer like disco balls. Service flows smoothly.

The Food
The contemporary American fare is consistently excellent. The two cones appetizer is fabulous, one overflowing with tuna tartare, another with chunks of lobster and avocado. Rock shrimp are delightfully crispy, with a mellow tobiko aioli and a Vietnamese pepper sauce that's devilishly hot. Ahi tuna is perfectly pink inside; New York sirloin is charbroiled to perfection. Desserts--including dreamy profiteroles and luscious Valhrona chocolate cake--are all worth saving room for.

The Extras
Check out ghostbar upstairs for an after-dinner drink with the VIPs and wanna-bes.


What to Drink
If you're a big spender, go for the Ultimate margarita, made with top of the line tequilas and Grand Marnier for the eyebrow-raising price of $69.


Who's Haunting the House?
Billy Corgan, Lisa Marie Presley and MJ have been spotted more than once.

  • N9NE is definitely a TEN!

    Review rating : 5out of 5   ChicagoGirlCt - 05/30/2008

    I came to N9ne for lunch the other day and was blown away by the beautiful restaurant. The iceberg wedge salad was a delicious starter and my chicken sandwich, I can honestly say, was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Overall, restaurant was beautiful, food was fantastic, and the staff was very friendly! I will definitely be going back!

  • Great Place!

    My Mom, my best friend and I visited Chicago for my birthday. When we were there, we visited Nine. I don't know what you guys were talking about when you said you didn't like it, because I did. They made me two special desserts and took us on a tour of the whole place where other people couldn't regularily go. The service was awesome, and did you notice that when you sat on the toilets and looked to your left, there was a personal flat screen TV? It was a really awesome experience and I highly recommend going there!

    If you like overpriced, small portions and a half a drink served by the worst servers in town, this is the place for you!

    Review rating : 3out of 5   billp4243 - 11/26/2003

    Pre show dinner 11/21/03. Very fine service attuned to when you must leave for a show curtain time. My wife's filet was outstanding, my porterhouse very ordinary. Salads okay, and lobster bisque, although tasty and smartly served, was watery. Over modern decor gets old fast, and stop he Euro fashon runway music.... please.
