Nines American Bistro - Mequon

Pricey, but food was very tasty. I gambled and tried the butternut squash risotto and loved it! Brussels appetizer was tasty for me, but way too crispy for DH. Cranberry Walnut bread was also great. Went in February and it was pretty empty, but I would guess it would be busier in summer.

We had an exceptional dinner here at the ?nines? everyone there was so friendly and professional; we had great service and the atmosphere in the restaurant and surrounding views of the River Club were wonderful!

Unreasonably slow service but the food is good. We went to Nines on a Friday night and we new we were in trouble from the moment we walked in. The host station is at the front of the bar area which was very empty and at the back of the bar we could see the doorway to the dining room. We stood at the host station for nearly 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged (we almost walked out). 15 minutes after arriving, we were finally seated for our reservation. Out of 20 tables, 13 (including ours) were seated, so not a very busy night. A server came by, introduced himself and then it was 10 minutes before we got water. Took another 10 to get our drinks, and then almost 30 to get the two fish fries we ordered. Ultimately the food itself was very good. It's too bad everything was so slow because we were hoping to try dessert but after being there for 90 minutes already, we just could stand the thought of waiting again. The odd thing is, despite how empty they were, we over heard the manager telling another table that had complained about the slow service that it was a surprisingly busy night. This wreaks of poor management. This was our first experience, not sure we'll ever return.

Food was delicious. The prom next door was a little loud, but not too objectionable. Our waiter, Will, was highly enjoyable. Very professional, and also quite friendly. We will definitely be back!

What a great meal! One thing I also appreciate is the great selection of wines. My wife had the salmon and I had the pork. Both were delicious and the wine suggested by our server was a perfect match.
