It is almost impossible to find a good restaurant in sandiego. I visited Nine Ten on a Saturday Night, the dinning room was about half full and the bar was packed (i should have eaten there). The second i sat down I was allready offered water, drinks, & bread awesome!!! It took us a while to decide on the menu... more

When our original choice for dining on a recent night in La Jolla had a 45 min wait, we found a local guy on the street who recommended Nine Ten. In a nutshell, while it is pretty expensive, it was a fantastic meal! We had the flat iron steak ($26 I believe) and Roasted Chicken ($24 or so), more than... more

This is possibly the best restaurant we have been to in a long time, although Osteria Matza, Rivera, and a couple others in L.A., in Italy, and Cyrus in Wine Country are close runners-up. This one killer appetizer is drawing us back down there: lobster tortellini with black truffles and corn. The flavors were astounding. The other appetizer, Maine Lobster... more

We visit La Jolla once or twice a year from Santa Monica. In March, my husband had a very unpleasant experience at breakfast -- slow-to-no service, cold coffee, cold food, nobody coming. He finally left and went to the Cottage on Fay where he had a very good experience. We stay at the Grande Colonial, which houses Nine-Ten, but I... more

We had a delicious breakfast served out on the terrace with an ocean view. My husband and I both ordered the two egg breakfast which came with hashbrowns, toast, and 4 pieces of either bacon or sausage. The food was served just as ordered and the service was good. A great way to start the day! more

I've been to NINE-TEN a few times now and while lunch is very tasty and a more casual scene, you can't say you've had the NINE-TEN experience unless you've had dinner there! one word- FABULOUS! you have to have the hamachi and the chef's signature jamaican pork dish! more

Selected Nine Ten from online reivews. Listed as a top brunch/lunch spot. Located in beautiful La Jolla and just steps away from the water, Nine Ten was fabulous. EXCELLENT service. Ate in the bar area to watch NBA playoffs. Bartender knew her sports!! Very kind. The chips were so good that we nearly ate ourselves into a chip frenzy! The... more

Don't stop at the fact that this is an Hotel restaurant. This is a gem, the service was amazing. The chef at Nine-Ten is truly a top performer. Plating was impressive, taste was exquisite. A must go when in San Diego, truly worth it. more

We had a fantastic dinner last night at Nine-Ten. Food was amazing, they had a special of Tagliatelle with fresh truffles that was divine. Also enjoyed the raw tasting for appetizer. Service was great and the whole experience just delightful. We would definitely go there again when next in La Jolla. more
