The Ninth - (Near Westminster, london)

3 /5 Celine Caddy: We had the Valentine’s Day set menu. Start by saying the wine pairing and service were exceptional. The starter of venison tartlet lacked taste and texture was unbalanced, a mouthful of moosh. The veg was bland across all courses. Yellowtail was overpowered by lemon, seasoning was minimal. That said, lamb and choux dessert was superb. Chargrilled sea bream was delicious. Overall, very disappointing for the price, go elsewhere. Edit: Food poisoning to follow

3 /5 tim ng: Good service, food in general is nice but we were disappointed overall. The crab and seaweed tartlet was a let down. Very small and over cooked at 3.80 each. Expected to have fresh crab meat at least. Second let down was the Dover sole and rainbow chard. Looked nice but the dish was so overcooked the fish was dry and like eating cardboard. Could not finish it - we did feedback to let the chef know. It was probably the worst piece of cooked fish we have had in a while. Definitely not worthy of a Michelin star, sorry to say. The Roe deer was cooked perfectly and was very nice. Yellowtail was nice and fresh. Also enjoyed the beef cheek and tongue. Dessert was decent and have to say the service was good. They also did not charge us for the dessert due to the issue with the fish dish

4 /5 Jia Lim: Had the set lunch which was excellent value for money. Ingredients were fresh and the food was perfectly presented. I enjoyed the crab pasta starter. But there was nothing about the food that stood out. Even the recommended potato side dish was very unremarkable, not something Id dream about. It was overall a very pleasant and above average experience but forgettable.

5 /5 Maria: Absolutely loved The Ninth! The food was incredible, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was stylish but still cosy, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Our server was really nice, she was from Japan, if Im not mistaken. Definitely one of my favourite spots in London—can’t wait to come back! Tried the crab tartlets, sardines on brioche, fried artichoke, yellowtail crudo (super good!), conciglie truffle and venison loin. 10/10 ❤️
