It's pretty hard to find non-fast food at about 3:30 in the afternoon, that horrible time in between lunch and dinner. Snowman and I actually wanted to eat here because we are considering staying in the adjoining Grande Colonial for our wedding and might have our after-wedding dinner at Nine-Ten. Unfortunately, they were only serving a bar menu, so our sampling of their cuisine was limited. But quite delightful nonetheless.
Food: My mushroom panini was decent, but the real story here were the truffled French fries with grated Parmesan. How to make a fry more decadent...this is the answer! They were so rich and delicious. Snowman liked his flank steak, and we both liked our hibiscus-scented iced teas.
Service: Friendly and attentive, though the bartender would disappear for ten minutes at a time. A fellow patron, itching for vodka, said to him upon his return, "I thought you went on vacation!"
Decor: Sleek and modern without feeling cold or antiseptic.
Grade: A

The Grande Colonial looks lovely!
ooo! we definately give nive ten an A also! we went here for dinner one night when my family was in town last summer and did the chef's choice dinner thingy and it was definately the best meal we've had in san diego. more expensive than we can afford on a day to day basis (naturally due ot our meager wages!), but totally rocking. perhaps we'll have to meet up for lunch there one day :-) .... uh, after i get myself a damn job!
Ummm....do you think you'll be having a 2007 wedding? I need to plan my vacations!
LL, I think we are leaning heavily towards that hotel. The rooms are so warm and sunny...very sweet.
A, If YOU say that's the best meal you've had in SD, that is high praise indeed!
GR, Don't worry. The reception is in New York, so you don't even need to take a vacation!
DAMN!
