What People Are Saying About Nine Thirty

In Short – Relaunched in Fall 2007, this sceney spot plays host to a mix of on-the-town locals and out-of-town trendoids who like to eat as well as they dress. The main dining room--framed by panels of woven bamboo and carved coconut shells--is an imposing space of urban gloss and tropical splendor. At the center of it all is a 12-foot white sandstone bar where casual conversations and over-the-shoulder glances pick up the pace as the night goes on. The seasonal menu, created by Executive Chef Monique King, focuses on organic American fare with a touch of global flair. Signature starters…

Great place for a special occaision
by mercertj at Citysearch
Everything about this place was great. Service was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect for a nice dinner, and the food was great. I doubt anything on the menu would be bad here. I had the beef tenderloin, my gf had the veal, and we split a salad.
The valet parking was even fairly inexpensive because they validate.
I'm not much for dropping big $$$$ on meals, but for a nice evening out, I have no complaints except for the people who insist on bringing a baby into places like this. C'mon, leave your whining kids at home. Nobody who's dropping a few hundred on dinner wants to hear babies crying.
But, for the restaurant and hotel, 5 stars..... everyone was great. And for a high end dining experience (at least it is for someone like me) I really enjoyed this place.
- Pros: Ambience, Food, Service
- Cons: Patrons who bring crying babies in

I've eaten here a few times as well as in the Backyard, which is the W's outdoor patio restuarant, and I have never been disappointed. The salmon salad is tasty, with just the right amount of saltiness and the heirloom tomatoes (which they seem to have year-long) are so juicy and flavorful! Food is fresh and light, which is a nice contrast to the space itself, which is sort of moody and zexy. Good place for a date or just a night when you feel like eating some good food at a really nice hotel.
- Pros: Food, ambiance, service
- Cons: $$$ valet parking

Pleasant Surprise
by bruno79 at Citysearch
I was at the W for a birthday party with my boyfriend on a Saturday night and we stumbled into NineThirty. We were seated promptly and our drinks and water were delivered quickly. The food was amazing. Smaller portions, very fresh ingredients, seasonal items, and some guilty pleasures like pork bellies (which might have been a special that night). Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and food in general. The entire staff worked together to deliver a dining experience that made us feel like we were the only table there, even though it was packed.
