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.

Cream0402's Review
cream0402 - 10/21/2002
The food was very average at best. The staff is very slow and they have many service issues. Many other restaurant's in downtown have better service and food.

bernicemuniz - 08/09/2002This was my first experience at Nine and I had a wonderful time with my husband and our freinds it is a little pricey but it was worth it. It's a great place and the employee were great. We will return!!
RichR3395's Review
richr3395 - 07/23/2002On July 11,2002 we had a party of 7 for dinner. The staff was very pleasant,however the food was average at best.We had asked if we could bring our own wine and were assured that we could. We do this everywhere, because it is a wine dinner club that we have organized.They said there would be a corking charge of $ 10.00 per bottle which we accepted,which seems to be the going rate at other places we have been. When we brought in 7 bottles of wine we were told that the corking fee would be $ 20.00 per bottle.It was finally negotiated to $15.00 per bottle.My double cut lamb chops were very tough and it seems that the other people in our party felt the same way.I think that it is overrated.
Otisday1313's Review
otisday1313 - 04/28/2002Extremely overrated!!!! The staff is very entitled and obnoxious. There are many restaurants in the city that are much better, and less expensive.
CEO Alex's Review
ceoalex - 04/03/2002Porterhouse steak was fantastic, but slightly undercooked from what was ordered. Atmosphere is great, very well designed interior. Everyone has style here, so be prepared because I hear many feel underdressed!
