Really enjoyed the food at 9 mile. Corn ribs were a nice starter, BBQ chicken leg - yum, salmon with the rice was fantastic. Rice was almost a risotto, then the lamb chop. Great food, a bit expensive, but location + great food = value

Our server was excellent - professional, friendly and attentive. Ceasar and caprese salads were tasty and good for sharing. The chicken scallopini parmesan was quite dry and not very flavorful, and we were charged extra for requesting more sauce to help improve it; Probably should have just sent it back. Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious. Complimentary tiramisu for the birthday girl was festive and delicious.
