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.

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.

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.

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.
Be the first to ReplyExtremely disappointing compared to expectations
This highly overrated and extremely pricey restaurant is well avoided. For two reasons. First, the food. With very few exceptions everything was just average given the steep price. Basically, the cooking is withholding and not very imaginative; dull. We did a la carte. The steak tartare was bland compared to what it should be (or what you can make at home). The bavette lacked juiciness and flavor; the duck was fine but nothing special. Only the lamb stood out, but the preparation was unimaginative. And, we were there for a tripartite celebration: a major birthday, a 44-year wedding anniversary and a celebration of someone being awarded her PhD. They knew this. How did they acknowledge this? My husband and I each got a tablespoon sized scoop of ice cream. I mean, really? A place on the North End would have been all over this. As would many places. Don't waste your hard earned money here; this is all about saying you went here, not about a fabulous dining experience, of which there are so many more in Boston, Cambridge and environs.

Very average at best for anyone who has been to nice restaurants. We did the tasting menu and appreciated not having to choose what we wanted, but the combinations were very basic. The service was spectacular, but the food itself was just eh. I’m glad we tried it, but won’t be back!
Be the first to ReplyA very disappointing dinner with average food and subpar service
I chose No 9 Park for dinner with friends on St Patrick’s Day after seeing so many positive rankings for the restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant just didn’t deliver for us. While some of the food was fine, most was not. My husband’s striped bass was quite overcooked, underseasoned, and dry, my duck was overcooked and not the best cuts of meat, and our friend’s pasta with foie gras was unremarkable beyond the foie gras. Service was the real problem. First, we had wine over poured even as we kindly asked otherwise (as we’d bought the bottle). Second, they brought wrong courses for some. Third, they brought the next course even as the previous ones hadn’t been cleared; in one case, before everyone had even finished the previous course! Finally, the last straw was when they informed our friend 2/3 of the way through dinner that they didn’t even have the steak tartare that she’d ordered. To say we were all flabbergasted would be an understatement. Our server was out of his depth from the moment dinner began. He was nice but just didn’t seem to be up to the task for fine dining. The manager didn’t seem to know what to say after we first complained about the serving timing issues. She did better but still seem bewildered when we had the missed course issue. Ultimately, she took care of the entire dinner — even the wine that we offered to pay for — in recognition of the poor experience we had. We never even bothered to tell them about the many food issues since they already comp’d the meal and it seemed just piling on. Their service recovery was appropriate. But the overall feeling was of a restaurant resting on laurels from another era. We wouldn’t return and we don’t recommend the restaurant.

Food and wine wonderful. Pastry chef makes outstanding homemade gluten free rolls. It was a great experience.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a beautiful experience, expensive but WOW!
Staff and food was sublime and our experience at this restaurant on NYE was one we will never forget me and my boo! We were also able to see the fireworks at 7pm in the central park right out of the restaurant's entrance door. And the taste of the food and the drinks was just so good and such a delightful staff. We simply loved it and can't wait to go again in the future even if it is up there in the pricing!
Be the first to ReplyGreat food; one of the best restaurants in Boston.
We made a reservation for 8:30, but were seated at 9:30. Initially, we were very disappointed, but it was worth the wait. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. We will be back soon!

My husband and I seek out chefs' tasting menus and wine parings (we are *not* oenophiles) when we travel. We have been traveling to Boston for over 25 years for our anniversary and a quick trip from New York for any other quick getaway. This is our first time dining at No. 9 Park. We will be back on every trip to Boston, for certain. We opted for the chefs' tasting menu with the wine pairing. This is probably one of the very few times that I can honestly say that the wine pairings were perfectly paired and brought out different flavors in each course (as it should be) but I never really had a connection with wine and food until now. Food was expertly prepared, and every course had exactly the right amount of food, so you were not full enough to enjoy each additional course. Staff was extremely attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable. When ordering the agnolotti, you absolutely need to add the truffles to the dish. It brings out such beauty in the dish, that you're missing out if you don't. It's not hard to see why the famous prune-stuffed gnocchi has been on the menu for many years. The flavors dance in your mouth. Scoop up a reservation. You will not be disappointed.
