    Nine-Ten is a great date night spot. Service is always phenomenal and the dishes well executed. Not too large of a restaurant with a moderate noise level which lends itself to a nice evening out with your significant other.

    We got the Valentines Day dinner. Food was great but I think it was a little over priced. All in all good experience, want to come back and try the regular menu.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Nine-Ten on a busy Wednesday evening, which also turned out to be 1/2 price night on bottles of wine. A tasty full-bodied Amarone accompanied our Jamaican Jerk pork belly appetizer and loin of lamb and scallops entrees. Service from multiple people was friendly and very attentive. A lovely experience.

    It's been at least a few years since we've dined at Nine-Ten, but we decided to celebrate a birthday there last night and we were so glad we did. From Host, to service, to cocktails and cuisine, we were treated in a stellar fashion that was above and beyond all other restaurants we were considering in our choice. Have the specials, enjoy the amazing palette of flavors and relax with an after dinner dessert. It's all so elegant, 1st-rate and top of their class and we enjoyed it all. Nine-Ten at The Colonial Hotel is a destination not to be missed and we're giving last night's celebration an A+ for the evening!

    It was my birthday and I chose to celebrate it there. My wife was the designated driver. I asked for the wine pairing dinner and was denied because they wanted to force my wife to do the same. Even though she doesn’t have an appetite like mine and couldn’t drink. Very poor service and very disappointed.

    This restaurant is really a GEM of a find! If you have a curiosity about unique flavours balanced in new and interesting combinations, this is THE place to go! We had a party of four and we were all blown away by our meals and the whole dining experience. The staff are very knowledgeable and very attentive but not overbearing. The ambiance was very comfortable, and we were able to enjoy our conversation without needing to shout to be heard. This was an EXCEPTIONAL dining experience, and I would highly recommend that you go and treat yourself and your friends to a wonderful evening!
