"The food was seasoned perfectly and full of flavor."
"The crab cake was an appetizer and it was bursting with flavors of light turmeric and other spices."

"Ordered the special and it came cold."
"The food was mid!! Entree was cold. Steak and eggs under seasoned."

Service
Pros:
"The service was impeccable!!"
"We were greeted by the hostess and the waiters in the most distinguished way - genuine smiles are hard to come by these days."
"The staff made me feel extremely welcomed and gave me a glass of water while I waited for my To-Go order."
"Hats off to the chefs and the owners."
"The staff was attentive as well."
"Maritza was the best waitress."
"The service was very good. The lady was by herself I’m guessing because of the weather she was understaffed but handled ALL of the tables on her own without skipping a beat."
Cons:
"They were ignored by service staff, they said the food looked stale."
"The waiter we had unfortunately didn't offer great service..."
"The service was horrible. They don’t even check up on you if you’re missing anything."
"The service is terrible here."
"After an hour of waiting for food that never came, attitude was Ohh well here’s the bill."
"The services was horrible girl took long take order just talking other staff."
"However at times the services was very spotty even though it was not busy."
Ambiance
Pros:
"Ambiance was lovely. Front area and the back garden."
"They even made personalized menus which was a nice touch without me asking."
"iNINE Bistro's laid-back ambiance immediately put me at ease."
"The colors of the restaurant marry very well( rich deep colors). The back garden is enclosed and cute."
"Vibes so dope with music ranging from hip-hop to reggae and Afrobeats."
"The atmosphere feels like you have friends all around you."
"Such a cozy spot. Candlelight tables comfortable seating."
Cons:
"Seating up front is limited and was unavailable at the time due to an entire family being there; outside seating is uncomfortable; poor upholstery with a limited menu."
"The only problem in the back yard is that the outdoor furniture was kind of uncomfortable to sit on."
"The outside of location is a bit non descript."
"So loud your waiter can’t hear your order, and gets it wrong."
"Definitely Not the place if you’re looking for chill Sunday vibes."
"One minor downside was that the noise level could increase during peak hours, making conversation a bit challenging."
"It would have been nice if they turned the heat on prior to my party arriving."
Value
Pros:
"The drinks were strong as hell and just the way I like them."
"Jamaican Rum Punch, music and great company."
"The menu at iNINE Bistro offered a delightful array of options to satisfy a range of palates."
"The food delicious...coupled with good music."
"Whether indulging in their signature burgers or exploring their selection of delectable appetizers, I was consistently impressed with the taste and presentation."
"The vibes were positive, energetic and Afrobeats coming out of the speakers was a real treat."
"This place have the best food and drinks!"
Cons:
"Consistency is important this over priced menu because no one should ever sell 1 plantain for 11 dollars."
"All over their Instagram it says $30 prefix but of course since it’s a large party they all of a sudden don’t do prefix."
"Also I’m not sure if it’s because of covid but that bill was pretty high for the service."
"A $15 drink (normal price for NYC, but I got a tequila mixed with guava… and the same drink up the block was $12 ☹️) turned into a $21 bill because she added gratuity and a service fee because we were 4 people."
"The prices for those and the mid burgers presented on the menu weren’t worth $21."
"Please save your time and your money as the menu doesn’t really have many options other than wings."
