What People Are Saying About No. 9 Park

The Scene – For the foodies, powerbrokers and well-informed tourists who make reservations weeks in advance, one bite of Barbara Lynch's ethereally light, prune-stuffed gnocchi is worth the wait alone. The restaurant's interior is likewise understated in a classy way, the better not to distract from the food. Service in the two minimalist dining rooms and casual bar is attentive and well-informed. Inventive house drinks (passion fruit margarita) and a truly eclectic wine list leave no patron parched. – – The Food – Lynch has won national acclaim from the likes of the…

Delicious, but not worth the hype.

I have been a consistent Barbara Lynch fan, and have been to the bar at No. 9 Park before. Tonight, my husband and I made reservations at the restaurant and were looking forward to a delicious meal. The food and service were decent, but I was very dissapointed that the 7 course tasting menu (for $90) can neither be shared nor ordered by just one person at the table. I was interested in trying the tasting menu, but my husband was less intrigued. It seems strange to offer the option if only available for the entire table. I think the restaurant needs to reconsider the elitist perspective that everyone who wants to enjoy delicious food can afford a $90 meal. We each ordered an appetizer and entree instead, and although the food was very good, there are plenty of places I would rather go and feel more comfortable spending the $250 for dinner.

Better than the Boston Common (restaurant)

Went to No. 9 Park for our wedding anniversary. It was amazing. My husband had arranged for a fresh flower arrangement at the table which was presented when we sat down. It was beautiful. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which was a perfect complement to fantastic food. I definitely recommend the prune-stuffed gnocchi for an appetizer. The restaurant even decorated our dessert dish with a "Happy Anniversary" and provided a complimentary serving of dessert Italian wine. I also have to say, while taking a quick look around the room, all of the other patrons were smiling and looked very happy to be there. It is a great restaurant... very beautiful, very professional. For the other reviews below, I suggest giving it another chance... you may want to "waite" before posting and "pare" your posting against spell check. Or next time, simply speak up if you're not happy. The restaurant seems to be accomodating to dissatisfactions.

  • Pros: Ambiance, Food, Professionalism, Catering to Special Occasions
  • Cons: Too many pros...

Toss Your Money Out a Window.

by katw234 at Citysearch

I spent my 27th anniversary at 9 Park,looking forward to a wonderful time with my husband and son, who flew in from San Diego for the event. 9 Park had always been a favorite of his. Our evening was ruined by a clumsy waiter, who kept bumping our table,thus spinning it around,without any apologies. When the manager came over, he spoke only to my husband. He totally ignored anything I said and never made eye contact with me. Totally demeaning. His only condolence was to move our table in the middle of our meal.

The food was fine. No better than any other restaurant of that caliber in the city.

After our $500.00 check arrived we went home having a very disappointing anniversary.

  • Pros: Small,romantic room
  • Cons: Lack of respect for customers

The Details on No. 9 Park

Look Good:

While there's no dress code, if you leave your finest power suit in the closet, you'll feel under-dressed.

Parking:

The restaurant's valet service is a little pricey ($16). But use it: Between the State House's reserved spaces and Beacon Hill's resident parking, available spaces are scarcer than hen's teeth.

Save Money:

On a budget? Head to the cafe, where a $45 three-course prix-fixe menu is offered.
