9th street bistro is the best restaurant around. Their food is out of this world good and they take such great care of their patrons. They always make you feel special and if I could eat there everyday I would. The pistachio cheesecake they gave us on the house was the best cheesecake I've ever had. Love this place and the wonderful owners.

Amazing food, cocktails and service. The food was all local, fresh and eclectic. Most of the tables are semi-private. Highly recommend and will be back when in Indiana.

One of the most charming spots in Hamilton County for a quality meal—from cocktails to entrées, everything was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. We had such a great dinner. The vibe in the place is amazing—cozy, relaxed, and welcoming. The cocktails were next level. I started with the “Do You Carrot All?” and it was perfectly balanced with juice, spice, and just the right kick. If you love a spicy cocktail, don’t skip it. Our server went above and beyond with wine pairings that truly complemented each course. We started with the burrata appetizer—so good with the arugula and spicy chili topping. The gorgonzola salad (not pictured) was another highlight easily shareable with four people. We shared a few entrées, and the lamb and chicken dish stood out. The linguine didn’t quite hit the same mark, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The linguine was not favored and hate to say this, but probably one of the worst meals if you have never experienced a tahini sauce before. It was very pasty, shrimp was very flavorless We were celebrating a birthday and were surprised with a little treat at the end. Never felt rushed, even on a busy Friday night—just great food, drinks, and company for a solid hour and a half. Can’t wait to go back.

We had a lovely dinner last night at 9th St. Bistro. We started with the fried thing of the day (corned beef and cabbage egg rolls with housemade thousand island), pickle plate and burratta with bread. All were good, with the sweet heat pickles and egg rolls being particular standouts. Two of my party had the chicken with lemon and both enjoyed it, my husband had the cheese grits and added blackened shrimp, which had excellent flavor, and I had the duck bourgonone, which was delicious. The surprise of my dish was the whipped sweet potatoes, which had an amazing light, sweet texture. We had an assortment of desserts - carrot cake, peanut butter dipped pie, the macadamia bread pudding, and chocolate cherry gelato. All were good, with the carrot cake and gelato being particular hits. One of the reasons I chose this place was because all the reviews talked about the service, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Everyone was welcoming, and it was clear there is real camaraderie and teamwork happening at 9th St. The environment was warm, relaxed and interesting, with lots of touches that make it clear this restaurant is a personal labor of love and not a corporate investment. I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday at 9th St Bistro and look forward to returning.
