    Pork chop over Lobster mashed potatoes
    Keith W.

    This isn't my 1st or 2nd time here but with how everything tastes it's just like the first time! The pork chop has a roasted smoky grill taste throughout, the grits are a great complement. The Salmon with shrimp scampi was a special but well worth it! And the deviled eggs are just that! Devilish! Always a great experience! The service was like having a family member waiting on you! Get in early because it's gonna fill up fast.

    Great to see a chef- driven menu which constantly changes as they procure fresh ingredients. I heard their Sunday brunch is not to be missed and I can easily say I agree. Every week they offer a different cinnamon roll special. This week they had peanut butter and blackberry - what a great combo! The biscuits tasted like they each had a stick of butter in them (I mean that positively) and the sea salt on top added to the flavor profile. The restaurant has booths with rather tall walls between them, offering privacy between each booth. Our waitress was engaging and was happy to offer suggestions. When I'm in Mooresville on a weekend and In'm in the mood for brunch this is where I will be going!

    This is a great place for dinner. The place was packed. The biscuits and raspberry butter was to die for. They only gave us one each but I could eat 3 myself. I had the special that was chicken cordon blue. It was very deconstructed. It was tasty but I wish it was the normal one. The steak tips and mashed potatoes for an appetizer were absolutely delicious! The drink I had was the golden hour. It was soooo good but very strong. Do not get more than one if you don't drink much. I felt that one drink. Husband had the shrimp and grits. They were great and flavorful. Totally recommend this place. It's a hidden gem in town.

    Came here for granddaughter's birthday celebration. We made reservations for the 6 of us so we were seated quickly. Service was outstanding from beginning to end, not just from our server but from the hostesses and other wait staff we encountered. The menu was diverse but due to my dairy allergy, I only felt comfortable ordering the Beet Salad with shrimp ( but without feta). It was a large portion and delicious with a vinaigrette on the side. Other family members ordered meatloaf, Bistro Burgers, Ribeye Steaks, and Scallops. We all enjoyed our different meals. Noise level for a bustling Thurs nt was low enough that we didn't have to raise our voices to be heard. The restaurant filled up quickly after 6 pm but our service remained consistently prompt throughout our stay. This was my first time at On the Nines. It was a great choice for a special occasion such as a birthday dinner. I'd love to try their brunch sometime soon.

    Start with the service. Star was great. Entertaining, fun, and efficient. 5 stars to him…read more My wife and I shared the BLT with fries for brunch. Plenty of very tasty food to share. Dip for the fries was amazing. Made a ketchup lover like me forget all about Heinz! A bit spicy to boot. Live music at 2 in the afternoon as well. GREAT visit!

    Paloma is a beautiful location, and we really wanted to love our dinner here, but unfortunately,…read morethe food didn't quite live up to expectations. I ordered the pork belly bao buns, but they missed the mark for me. Coming from NY, I'm used to bao buns being marshmallow-soft and pillowy, but these were a hard, and the pork belly itself was quite tough. Our wonderful waitress noticed I only took one bite and brought the manager over. He explained that the cut is naturally mostly fat, which I understand, but the texture just wasn't quite right because it should be tender not tough. I declined a replacement dish, and he kindly credited it on our bill, though the interaction felt a little awkward. My husband's salmon unfortunately had a very heavy mustard flavor. The spinach farrotto underneath was quite salty. Since there isn't a kids menu which is fine, my daughter ordered the burger plain, but it wasn't really a hit for her. My coconut guava Paloma was okay definitely the best part of my meal though it tasted a little artificial. The ambiance has a lot of potential, and they had live music playing. However, it was a bit too loud for the space, forcing guests to raise their voices just to speak to each other. We also noticed our table hadn't been wiped down thoroughly before we sat down. The absolute silver lining of our evening was our waitress. She was incredibly sweet, highly attentive, and took great care of us. She is truly the reason I am giving 3 stars.She mentioned that they offer a completely different menu for brunch. Because the setting is so pretty and the service was so good, we might give them another chance for brunch down the road, but we likely wouldn't return for dinner. Proof that lighting and plating can hide a lot! Captured these beautiful views last night, even though the dinner itself was a bit of a letdown.

    As the lighting designer and stage tech for the band that performed here, this was one of the most…read moredifficult live production environments I've worked in. From load-in onward, management seemed far more concerned with monitoring and restricting the performance than supporting live entertainment. Before the show even began, there were already complaints about potential volume levels simply from seeing the sound equipment and production setup. The band and crew made extensive efforts to accommodate every concern throughout the night. The drummer used hot rods instead of regular sticks, the FOH engineer kept the band under very controlled volume levels, and even the lighting setup was intentionally kept minimal and non-intrusive out of respect for the venue. Despite all of those accommodations, management continued hovering throughout the evening and interrupting over very minor issues. It created an unnecessarily tense atmosphere for both the performers and production crew. Live music requires a certain level of comfort and trust between the venue and the people running the show, and unfortunately that never existed here. In addition, one of the bartenders consistently came across as dismissive and talked down to members of the band and crew during the night. At one point, they stated that this was "a bar that happens to have music," and proceeded to lecture me on how sound works and how customers would not be able to hear each other if the band was too loud. This was particularly frustrating considering the extensive efforts already being made by both the band and audio crew to keep levels controlled and respectful for the room. Everyone involved on the production side remained professional and cooperative throughout the evening, but the overall attitude toward live music and production made the experience unnecessarily stressful. As someone who works behind the scenes to help create a professional live experience, it was disappointing to feel like every aspect of the production was treated as a problem rather than part of the entertainment guests came to see. If a venue only wants extremely quiet background music with little to no production presence, they would likely be better suited booking solo acoustic performers instead of full live bands with sound and lighting support.
