9th Door Downtown

FOOD WAS AWESOME!!! But our waitress was terrible. We were very forward with her about our plans for the night, and we had PLENTY of time for a tapas dinner but she'd do things like come to our table to clear dishes twice after we asked for our check with 30 minutes before our show started at the Performing Arts Complex. And it was not busy. It was early. Bummer that she left such a bad impression because the ambiance and food were great!

THEIR TAPAS ARE SO GOOD OMG. We saw so many things on the menu we wanted to try, we already had our next visit planned out. Really nice atmosphere, would be a great date spot. Service was great, food was incredible. They have a decent wine and cocktails list. 10/10 would recommend.

My husband and I went here and loved the dim lighting and romantic ambiance. We shared 5 plates and had the creme brulee for dessert which was fantastic. I appreciate that our waitress was always there when we needed another drink or more food without hovering over us every second. I did think it was a little pricey for how small most of the portions are, but everything else was great so I'll let it slide. If you plan to go on a weekend definitely make a reservation.

The dining experience was pretty good up until the calamari, which should not have served, let alone come out of the kitchen. Super small fragment pieces that were way overcooked - unacceptable. Ambience is decent and it's a nice restaurant with a full scale spirits bar. If you are a solo diner than this is also an acceptable spot as the bar top is adequately sized. The service was friendly, courteous and professional. Check out was quick and effortless. I would have rated them higher but the "small" plate of fried squid was that bad.

Had a bottle of wine and four of the tapas and the food was amazing and so was the service. Our waitress, Tori, literally watched how far we were into each tapa before bringing out the next. It was amazing. Highly recommend especially if you're a fan of scallops and wine!

Very high quality food. Unlike other places the food here is NOT oversalted! Mel gave us an excellent service! The Spanish guitar music was not loud and very appropriate. You can enjoy the Paint It Black in Spanish arrangement! Also, this place was not overcrowded even on Friday evening.

Amazing food, poor service. The food was fantastic, overall our meal and drinks where great. The server however, was the major disappointment almost so I would skip this place on service issues alone. We tried 14 dishes, smoked salmon with asparagus, olives and almonds, ribs, beef skewers, artichoke and more. I would have liked more sear and browning on the scallops but the fact we sat with empty water glasses for nearly half our meal was not acceptable. Did I mention that the service was just bad and the restaurant was less than 50% full, should have been fantastic service, good food takes time but an empty water glass is not acceptable.

The food is great! Really liked the rib tappa and the artichoke. We had to get a double order of both because everyone needed another bite. This place is great to go with a crowd so you can sample everything. The drinks were good too but the food is really why you should go.
