No.9 Park Boston Reviews from The Last Year
French retsurant delivers execellent food and service
You can choose between a fixed price chef's choice or ala carte, We could not eat that many courses so we sent for ala carte. We were seated at the best table of the restaurant, overseeing the park after the waitstaff suggested we'd get a better view. The staff was attentive and helpful We enjoyed the yellowfin tuna crudo, vichyssoise appetizer, found the linguine arrabbiata entre fantastic, nice, and spicy, and the beef bourguignon over risotto, delicious comfort food. T recommendations and signature cocktails were just right. I thought the restaurant was going to be over-the-top expensive. Instead, it is for the price, service, and experience.
My boyfriend brought me here for a surprise date last night
My boyfriend brought me here for a surprise date last night and he earned some brownie points! We both did the chef tasting course, but the staff was flexible with me switching out the salmon dish. I snapped a photo of each dish including the dessert! The menu is intimidating, but if you're open to trying new things, each one was unbelievably delicious. The prune stuffed gnocchi was our favorite and the pork was a close second. All of our waiters were incredibly kind and friendly! They talked with us and recommended future meals, and are a huge reason the night was so special. Normal entrees are decently priced, but the chef tasting is rather expensive.. completely worth it if you can do it. Everything was great, we will be back next time I'm in Boston:)
The service and wait staff were Outstanding.
We ordered the tasting and it was delicious in quality , presentation and taste. A very elegant atmosphere. Would highly recommend when in the area.
Dinner at a place like No.
9 Park is more of a total experience than a meal. Your whole night will be thoughtfully considered- delivered through a very personal level of service. The wine list is extensive and the servers and sommelier have always offered bangers, even given constraints on preference and cost. My wife and I are plant based eaters, but we are treated as 1st class citizens by a restaurant that could easily give us the cold shoulder. When dining on the tasting menu, you will be presented with dish after dish of well prepared items that are as beautiful to look at as they are appetizing to eat. Seasonal options will be on offer, so be sure to keep an eye out- such as the fresh black truffle upgrade- and the ambience of a cozy-but-elegant side room with a view of the park will only enhance the meal. No. 9 Park is holding the candle in terms of fine French style dining experiences in Boston, so if you're looking for that kind of energy, this is your spot.
This is probably the most famous restaurant in Boston but I
This is probably the most famous restaurant in Boston but I can't say it fulfilled my expectations. I wanted to try it out, especially since the owner has been closing so many of her restaurants amidst some controversial treatment accusations of her staff. Better get it done before it is gone right? We got the 6 course tasting menu and it was just...ok. It is just like other types of European/French style of cooking. Light on the salt, butter heavy and lacking in taste. The best part of the meal was the interesting gazpacho with pomegranate which I had never experienced before. But the sirloin was dry, the porkchop was bland the dessert was mushy and lacking in flavor. it was just so disappointing and the price was outrageous. I will say, the service was excellent so I have no complaints there. but for a restaurant, the food was really subpar and NOT worth the price. I realize one pays for the experience also and it really wasn't that great overall. it felt like just a normal restaurant. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. I won't be returning and I have no reason to recommend it to others. If you want to eat a nice restaurant, go to NYC and try out one of the Michelin star types. The prices are the same and the flavor is so much better.
Came to eat the famous Prune Stuffed Gnocchi before another
Came to eat the famous Prune Stuffed Gnocchi before another Barbara Lynch restaurant closes and I was pleasantly surprised! I'd say it's super worth the value to come with 2-3 people and between the whole table, you get one of each option from each section of the $140 prix fixe menu and share it all! The portions are decently sized despite the superfluously large Michelin-style plates. I think if you ate only your four courses on the prix fixe, you'd quickly get palette fatigue. The restaurant definitely has an old money vibe to it, clean and woody, not overly flashy or decked out. Quiet enough to hear the people at your table but also a bit too quiet such that you can very loudly hear the staff announcing dishes for other tables. Our waiter was well versed about the menu! Although I found it peculiar that when I said we wanted to share everything family style / basically order one of each option from each course, he still insisted that each person at my table speak the 4 individual dishes out loud. But then when we were actually served the food, they didn't put the correct plates in front of us? (I got my boyfriend's order, he got mine, etc.) Parmesan Parker house rolls with butter and salt - warm, crispy on top, and we were able to get a second order of bread! 4/5 Little Gem Salad - was dressed with dijon aioli which made the leaves very heavy / fatty. Topped with pistachio, very few parm crisps, and dried orange that overpowered. So confused by this salad, worse than Costco caesar salad. 1/5 Steak tartare, kojiut squash, cranberry, juniper - typical, didn't taste much nuance in the toppings but nice with the brioche. 3/5 Ricotta fritters with marcona almonds, honey, black peppercorns - this was definitely pure dessert but honestly probably my ideal donut texture! So fluffy! But I can't imagine 1 person eating all 5 of them as an appetizer?! 4/5 Caramelle di Patate, beech mushroom, chestnut, potato - loved the light and delicate flavors of this dish, perfectly cooked pasta / no thick gummy doughy parts where the pasta is folded, wish I could spoon the broth. 4/5 Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras, pistachio, grapefruit, blood orange - came with a crumbly mix that tasted like graham cracker crust so the dish was dessert-y as well (what is with foie gras having so many sweet pairings! same experience at Deauxave). 3.5/5 Prune stuffed gnocchi, foie gras, marcona almond, vin santo - I think this dish lived up to the hype! The gnocchi was more of a prune dumpling, a soft mushy dough with mashed and chunked prune inside. I usually hate prunes but paired with the brown buttery sauce it was like a bakery giving you a hug, straddling sweet/savory... like upgraded maple bacon. I don't think the foie gras did anything flavor wise, mostly just added fattiness. The sauce was so good to dip bread into (and then dip into the pasta mushroom broth!) but it did severely separate towards the end :\ my curiosity is satisfied and would eat again but not craving it! 5/5 Seabass, rainbow chard, saffron veloute, guanciale - this is usually served with salmon but I'm glad they had a seabass special today! Fish was meaty and tender, super crispy skin. The chard and saffron tasted oddly soapy. 4/5 Beef bourguignon, polenta, blue cheese, mixed mushrooms - definitely not traditional and a let down, was 2 very large chunks of plain braised beef, with a meager drizzling of red wine sauce and crispy onions. So maybe 10% of each chunk was very yummy and well rounded, the rest was very fibrously well cooked beef. Polenta was plain, I thought the mushrooms were fried sage at first?! They turned out to be limp, not seared to their full flavor potential. 3/5 Vermont quail, parsnip, brussels sprouts, rosemary - wonderfully cooked! Super acidic brussels paired with the buttery parsnip. Upgraded classic roast chicken dish and fun presentation. 4.5/5 Barley creme caramel, yuzu, curacao - much needed yuzu sorbet that was so refreshing, could taste the nuttiness of the barley but also came off a bit bitter with the flan so I thought it was just ok. 3/5 Boston Cream Pie, coldsteep coffee, chocolate sabayon - unexpected presentation and my favorite dessert! Inside the sweet cylinder of chocolate is layers of not too sweet cake, chocolate ganache (?), and white frosting (?), all harmonized together! The coffee ice cream was a bit beefy but that's my own bias lol. 5/5 Dark chocolate souffle, white chocolate glace - their signature dessert that we paid $15 more for. It was good but not mindblowing, I loved how crunchy the top was but sad that the ice cream melted into the middle within 5 seconds / you couldn't enjoy the contrast of flavors/texture/temperatures, it just turned into brownie mush. Very sweet, couldn't have told it was dark choc. 3/5 If someone wanted to go to an upscale slightly pretentious restaurant, I'd take them here (a rich parent, professor). It is expensive but at least I didn't feel ripped off and didn't leave hungry!
Incredibly disappointed by our recent NYE experience at No
Incredibly disappointed by our recent NYE experience at No 9. My husband and I typically come here 2-3 times a year. I made reservations weeks ago and was never told there was a pre-fixed menu. Had I known, we would have come a different day. The prices were extreme given the small portions and poor quality (do not eat the gamey goose). We were forced to spend $170 per person and were given no option to make substitutes (e.g. I'm allergic to scallops, and therefore could not eat that course). The food was mediocre at best. While I server was nice, he was not qualified to be serving on his own. He could not answer questions, continuously brought out the wrong drinks, etc. We were seated in front of the windows by the bar. After the fireworks on NYE, many people came in either waiting for their reservation or looking for a table. Instead of waiting, several women sat in the seats next to me and my husband (shoulder to shoulder, we couldn't even move), completely disregarding the fact that we were eating and the seats were actually for our table (not for waiting). Hostess and server did nothing. Given the wonderful restaurants in Boston, I will no longer waste my time with No. 9, but will consider supporting other local eateries.
Staff here super kind and friendly! The ambience is very
Staff here super kind and friendly! The ambience is very upscale fine dining vibe. Food is very mediocre.. we came here for my birthday and the food here was very disappointing and underwhelming. I wouldn't say anything tasted bad but mainly everything was just alright and not impressive. I was most excited for the chocolate souflee but this was actually the most disappointing dish as it was extremely salty. Also if you look up articles on the owner Barbara Lynch, I would not be supporting her business. Unfortunately I only found out how she treats her workers after I dined here and we will not be coming back.
Expected way better.
We got the tasting menu and wine pairing. We didn't enjoy many aspects of the meal, and the wine. A few dishes we tasted, didn't enjoy and didn't finish. Gnocchi was good, 2 fish courses were boring and pretentious and the beef cheeks were hard and chewy. We called it quits at the "foam" pallet cleanser....just not our style. The bartender was really nice though, and so knowledgeable on the wine.
This spot is always a classic.
This is a Michelin star worthy restaurant. Everything here is always amazing! You can't come here and not try their classic prune stuffed gnocchi.
Vegetarian Unfriendly
This restaurant advertises itself as vegetarian friendly - I have no idea why. We had told them in advance but it still seemed to take them by surprise - nearly as surprised as I was when asked if it was ok to have one dish as "it is only a little bit of gelatin from a pig's trotter". The food was mediocre for the cost of it and because vegetarians cannot eat the fixed menu dessert (gelatin) I had to pay extra as the other dessert has a supplementary cost of $30 - frankly that's rude. I think the idea was to make my food look similar but the result was mostly bland with a lot of beans. Moreover we had the matched wines. I had asked if they would be the same, bearing in mind I would be eating different food and the waiter said well of course they will. To add insult to the waiter would come and describe my friend's food and then say - "not sure what you're having" - really makes you feel valued. By way of contrast the previous week we ate at an amazing restaurant in Sydney called Oncore My food was spectacular and the wine pairings designed for me. Moreover, they did't spend their whole time making us drink incredibly expensive water. We had planned this trip for 2019 and unfortunately didn't make it so thought we would try in 2023. I rather wish we hadn't. The whole place was freezing, smelt a bit odd and is way past its prime in terms of decor. But it seems to still be very pleased with itself. The clue for me is that when you are at a restaurant that (a) is so hyped and (b) costs that much you should be discussing it and talking about the experience. We were not.
Location and a slew of positive reviews led to booking for
Location and a slew of positive reviews led to booking for 4 on a Thursday in August. I have no doubt the restaurant was charming once upon a time, but it now is simply worn. There is nothing crisp or clean feeling here. The service is nice but extraordinarily slow. Strangely so. The food is fine. Good but no where near great. The first two wines I ordered were no longer available which speaks to overall management laziness. This restaurant is fine for a local "special occasion" spot but certainly doesn't hold a candle to other other rated restaurants.
Came here for an anniversary and birthday and, honestly,
Came here for an anniversary and birthday and, honestly, expected better. We knew we didn't want a tasting menu because we didn't want a long dinner. Service was extremely slow and we actually saw another table leave because it was so slow. The manager actually came to that table to apologize and offer comps and the couple still left. It didn't take long to get our food. What was slow was waiting for the servers to bring us drink menus, then a long time to get our drinks and dinner menus, a long time to get the dessert menu, a long time to bring back the check. By then our 2 hour meter parking had expired and we had to ask again for them to bring the check back after taking our credit card. Nothing was comped and no apology for the slow service. We got two small complimentary truffles for the occasion. Given the slow service, they could have comped drinks or at least a full dessert. Everyone was nice enough, but no one seemed truly warm. It is odd that various different servers bring the food so perhaps the server who took our original order forgot about us? But service was slow for others as well. The sommelier seemed good with the other tables, but since we didn't get wine, he didn't talk to us. The cocktails were ok, but nothing extraordinary. Not worth the $20 price tag. Foie gras and gnocchi were good, but not worth coming back for given the slow service. We also had the lamb and duck. Duck was better than the lamb but again not worth the slow service. I would definitely try elsewhere for fine dining but glad we tried the gnocchi and now can say it does not live up to the publicity. Don't think we will be trying another Lynch restaurant anytime soon either.
Great birthday dinner here.
Chefs tasting was in my top 5. Fig stuffed gnocchi with the demi sec pairing was hauntingly good (supposedly something Barbara Lynch and Julia Child argued about once.) DO NOT SKIP! Lamb was also amazing, didn't miss the A5 upgrade at all. Service was kind and prompt but a little unusual as it was almost always a different person bringing the next plate or wine. My preference at this price point is a bit more relational, especially with the wine. Nonetheless it was a great meal that I will not soon forget! Bonus was a charming stroll around Beacon Hill at night after.
Don't bother
Sadly disappointed. When I made my reservation about 2 weeks in advance of our evening, there was no indication on the website the menu would be prix fixe. When we arrived, we were told in celebration of their anniversary the meal was prix fixe. That was an enormous disappointment because a number of dishes I had seen and planned to order were not on the list. Getting over that disappointment, it was disconcerting that many of the dishes that we would have ordered off the menu ended up having a supplemental price. For example the Gnocci with prunes and fois gras had an additional charge of 35$. The meal, if I recall correctly, was already set at 165$ if not more. So if you were okay with the pedestrian items, you wouldn't get upcharged. I was not. Being from California with a ban on fois gras being served in restaurants I wanted to eat fois gras. My two menu choices ended up adding an additional 70$ because they were considered a supplement. Shameful. The fois itself was magnificent. The prune gnocchi was not. A couple of gnocchi with two diminutive pieces of fois placed on top was quite frankly a rip off. The chocolate souffle was an additional supplement. Really? It's desert! But what really got my husband and I, we were ready to order a nice bottle of wine and were talked out of it in favor of their luxury wine pairing which I believe added 125$ or more per person to the bill. What a joke. Most of the wines were at best mediocre. There were two we liked and two we said were not drinkable. We asked for something to be in their place. When we got the bill we realized they charged additional money for the replacement wine. That in my opinion is unheard of. We were tired and not in the mood to argue the point but it left a very bad taste in our mouth. Let me add, we have an extensive wine collection with many sought after cult wines. We appreciate wines of all price ranges (from Ridge to Harlan) and none of the wines poured for us, in my opinion, would fit in my range of acceptable wines for a "luxury" wine pairing. As an aside, their pours were chintzy. They were barely two ounce pours and in my experience, should have been four ounce. The silver lining is they tried to work with my food allergies although there must have been a huge disconnect between I can't eat shellfish and putting oysters in front of me. But my husband said they were good. Would I go back here? Absolutely not. Was I disappointed? Yes. Is there a reason why Boston has no Michelin star restaurants? After this experience, I know why.
No, no no no.
Oh no, Barbara Lynch, no no no. Tragedy struck fine dining at Barbara Lynch’s, 9 Park Street this July. We were welcomed by a very sweet and sincere woman at the host’s stand. The bar was packed, the dining room was being seated, and we were ready for six courses of highly recommended fine dining. We were seated at a central table for four. Now begins the end: The vents above us dripped cold AC water consistently. They offered to move us, but the dining room was filling up and it felt like a hassle. -Then we got our crudo—It was warm—like sushi-left-in-a-hot-car-warm. We longed for cocktails while the flow of food remained inconsistent and lacking, but 38 minutes after our first drinks were drained, only then did we get offered refills. However, bottled water was pushed on us relentlessly by the food runners without hesitation. Our minds were absolutely blown by the risotto. By blown I mean the gruel we were served with a bright touch of citrus was an absolute dealbreaker. We decided to pay and leave before the remaining courses were even presented. We are all in the service industry, all of us have managed restaurants and eateries, what we four experienced at No. 9 went from bad to worse. The manager was absent from the restaurant. This being a Sunday night, I get it, they likely expected a dozen or so tables and zero issues. Our front host who greeted us was approachable and sweet when I explained that we did not want to make a scene, but that we wanted to simply leave. I told her I was glad to settle up and get out. She said she would see what she could do. -Then she came to the table ten minutes later with an $810 bill for a round of cocktails and four horrifying servings of fish and risotto. A former bar and restaurant manager with whom we were dining was handed the bill. This was a catastrophic mistake on the host’s part. After some discussion about our entire meal having already been prepared, some pending complimentary-Wagyu that was supposed to make up for the dripping air conditioning, and excuses about no manager present, we thanked them for their time and left. Something is in flux, call it the weather, the recent controversies with Lynch’s kitchens, the need for leadership, or resting on laurels, but 9 Park Street is currently a must-pass if you’re traveling near Boston.
