    Our dining experience was fantastic from beginning to end; we enjoyed every moment. We even had a good laugh over the mix-up with the wagyu, but honestly, it turned out to be the best we've ever had. I can't think of a single dish or dessert we didn't love, and a big shoutout to Jared, the pastry chef, for making my early birthday dinner special. I really hope no 9 sticks around because the food here is the best in the city. Again thank you for amazing evening

    Celebrating a birthday here is special, especially when you get a server like Enrique. 😍 Kudos to the chef for the light and flakey baked haddock. The baked Alaska presentation was awesome!

    Great place to go before a show! Delicious food and fast service. They know how to get out out in time for the theatre. We go to The Back Deck all the time and have never been disappointed!

    A great dining experience. I’ve eaten a lot of Asian foods, but I had never had a hot pot. The service was excellent explaining how everything worked, heat levels, add-ons, etc. just listen to them explain and ask any questions. Side note: If you order appetizers or sushi wait until you finish them to order your hot pot. It came out quickly. It and everything with it took up almost the entire table.
