An ongoing commitment to innovative cuisine using only the freshest local produce makes NINE-TEN a must visit for culinary aficionados. This intimate restaurant in La Jolla, led by award-winning chef Jason Knibb, offers the perfect combination of sophistication and casual elegance and an ideal location along La Jolla’s historic Prospect Street.

At NINE-TEN, guests enjoy the best of the harvest from local artisan farmers, where produce is selected daily for the restaurant’s Evolving California Cuisine. The bounty of the sea is also featured with local fish selections and items arriving daily from Hawaii and the North Pacific and Atlantic regions. Special prix fixe menus are available and feature matching wines from the extensive wine cellar. Delicious pastries and desserts are made on-site.

Al fresco ocean-view dining is offered on an outdoor terrace. Inside, the warm ambiance is enhanced with rich mahogany wood accents throughout the narrow, high-ceiling dining room. The service is enthusiastic and spirited, while gracious and unassuming. The staff is exceptionally well trained and educated on the food and preparation methods, as well as wine selections and pairings.

The bar at NINE-TEN is the popular gathering place where the “who’s who” of La Jolla convenes daily to enjoy an array of cocktails, imaginative martini selections and complimentary homemade chips and fresh California olives. A centrally-positioned flat-panel television provides up-to-date news information and sporting events. From 3:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily, guests choose items from a special menu, turning the NINE-TEN bar into the local neighborhood haunt for area residents, after-work professionals and visitors alike. Happy Hour is offered every Monday through Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and features food and drink specials.

NINE-TEN boasts a well-balanced and extensive and award-winning wine cellar.
