The setting at N9nE reminded me of being on the set of Miami Vice sometime during the 1980's. The crowd dressed modern even though the lighting was purple, Tubbs was deejaying, and our server (nice guy) looked like Pee Wee Herman. The food was really good. We started off with the shrooms as an appetizer -- I would definitetly recommend those with a Ghostini to wash them down. For the main course, I ate the Fire Chicken which was very juicy white meat with a nice char on the outer skin. Megan had the scallops which were perfectly cooked -- not rubbery, but very tender and tasty. We also split a side order of mashed potatoes with lobster meat. To wash it all down, the house martini cleverly named the Ghostini named after the upstairs dance "club" called the Ghost Bar.
After dinner we walked upstairs to the Ghost Bar. It is a basically an open room with a bar along the wall. Unfortunately, Ghost Bar was not that impressive (see Annex Lounge). The bartenders will do a shot with you and maybe even throw you a comp here and there, however, the bar was lackluster compared to the restaurant. I give N9nE 3 out of 5 stars. -- Tom
