So glad we found this restaurant for our trip to Atlanta over the Thanksgiving holiday. Truly everything we tried was spectacular. The drinks and the food. It was so good, and truly innovative and not something you'll find anywhere else. The space is gorgeous as well, and makes for a very enjoyable date night, or classy night out with friends, or truly whatever excuse you need to get yourself there. I hope to be back again someday.

An amazing way to celebrate granddaughter's 18th birthday! The view from 72 floors in the air created an atmosphere of no boundaries for what she can do in life! Our server Michael made the entire birthday dinner one she will never forget. His warm and personable manner made our dining experience perfect!

Last night was our first time ever going up to the roof at Ponce and dining at 9 mile. My stepsons were in town and it was everyone’s first time ever going to Atlanta and I wanted to give them the best experience and you guys hit it out of the park. I’m trying to recall our servers name. She was wonderful and very accommodating, super sweet and it was only her second day and she did amazing. Me and my husband are definitely coming back for date night when we get a chance.
