No. 9 Park

Raymond our server was fabulous for our anniversary holiday lunch. Some of the finest service I’ve ever had, and we had a truly spectacular meal with No. 9. Will be back for next year and hopefully many more to come due to the service and food. Restaurant itself could use a refresh but the food and waitstaff are outstanding.

Probably the best salmon I've ever had anywhere. The wine pairing (a Chardonnay I believe) went excellently with the dish and enhanced the flavor. The experience started off great with an excellent cocktail and service. I tried a few things I don't normally like or would choose otherwise that were presented through the tasting menu. For example the chef's signature gnocchi was superb and I normally would not order gnocchi so was very impressed with the dish! The only sour notes were some of the later dishes didn't seem to pair as well with the dishes for me. The service also ended up coming up short later in the meal. Normally I don't mind minor issues like that occurring, but it did detract from the overall experience.

Great place for a nice date. The food presentation and service were top notch. We ordered the tasting menu. I was impressed with the artistic presentation. I was a bit disappointed in the flavors/composition of some dishes. The focus on aesthetic design became a little chaotic at times, and distracted from creating cohesive, well-balanced flavor combinations. I was hoping for knockouts given the pricing. But nevertheless, it was a lovely experience and I’d recommend it for a fancy evening out.

I experienced the chef’s tasting menu with a friend on Friday night and it was by far the best restaurant experience I have ever had. Everything was absolutely delicious. If Boston had Michelin stars, No.9 Park would absolutely be Michelin star worthy. We had oysters, salmon, prawn with black pasta (my favorite), wagyu, and more, plus wonderful wine pairings. All the staff & servers were awesome as well - Rebecca the manager checked in with us frequently. Excuse my poor photography but I remembered to capture a couple dishes. HIGHLY recommend!!!

We did the 6 course tasting menu. The plates were a work of art. It was so pretty that I had enjoyed admiring it before digging in. The waitress and waiters were very nice. I’m giving this review a 4 star because there was a lady (long black waivy hair) going around asking how we were but was frowning all the time. Her attitude and attire doesn’t suit the place. The place was also cramped. It was hard to go around the tables

I love the ambiance, service, and drinks from this place! I never feel rushed here and the bartenders go above and beyond to make me feel welcomed! They’re super knowledgeable and really crafty too! Food-wise, I love their tagliatelle and oysters, but otherwise I feel like the other menu options were not as remarkable in my opinion. I still think they fully deserve 5 stars though!

Incredible food! Was super excited to try this Barbara Lynch restaurant, and happy to say I was not disappointed in the least! Seafood was incredibly fresh, the various apps and side dishes were all tasty, and the entree’s were substantial and beautiful. On the expensive side, but so worth it for special occasions! Looking forward to going back!

I'm trying to think of the adjectives that come to mind when I think of No. 9 Park.... Intimate, exclusive, refined, high-end, educated, and well crafted. We had long wanted to go, but found getting a reservation to be a bit of a challenge. We would often jealously look in through the old windows on the front of the building and see diners enjoying this exclusive, warmly-lit culinary experience. This year on our anniversary we planned well in advance and got a reservation later in the evening (8:45 pm). We were greeted at the door and were seated by an extremely attentive and gracious staff. Jordan was our server throughout the evening, and he was not only engaging but deeply educated in food and pairings to a degree we had not seen elsewhere in many restaurants around the globe. That being said, No. 9 Park is certainly not an inexpensive place to dine (notice I did not say "eat"... that's from mere restaurants). The Chef's Tasting menu is a six or seven course adventure beginning at $160 a person. With cocktails (the House Old Fashion is amazing) or wine you can easily spend over $4-500 for two people. A la carte menu items are typically between $40 and $75 each as well. What's the old saying? You get what you pay for. At number 9 Park that is definitely true. The food is incredibly well crafted, the service excellent, and the atmosphere warm, inviting and intimate. It's tough to get a reservation, and it's expensive..but the value is there. Overall I would rate the atmosphere an A and the food an A as well.

We did the Chef’s Tasting menu. This was my first experience like this (multi course, fancy fancy, etc). When I walked in, it was so dimly lit it hurt my eyes. We asked for light, and they brought us our own personal lamp. I didn’t like raw fish, so they changed out one of the courses for the freshest, juices fried tomatoes I’ve ever experienced. They were eager to find ways to make the experience as great as it could be. They even set aside my leftovers so I could take them home (strangest, most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had). They even gave us another desert after our desert! It was insanely filling (with at least a meal leftover for me), and such fresh, quality ingredients. I would totally recommend doing this at least once!

We had the tasting menu and it was absolutely delicious! The service was outstanding - Brad was a delight and recommended multiple favorite/custom drinks when we wanted shots (“Where do you work?” was our favorite!). We had such a fun time and the ambiance, food, overall service and vibes were 10/10. The servers were so attentive and even explained each dish to us. The peach dessert plus some coffee was a great way to wrap up the evening. Definitely a high-end dining experience from start to finish. Big thank you again to Brad!
