    We enjoyed the band while eating our dinner. The wings were good but hot on the outside and cold near the bone, the burger was great but the steak was fair. The caesars salad was interesting and ok and the soup was good. Overall I would say the food was ok but needs a bit of improvement for the prices they charge.

    We felt very comfortable with the ambience. The restaurant played music from 1950s and 60s. The vibe was very fun because our waiter was very warm and friendly. The food was excellent and appetizing. I had the smoke pastrami and it was very tasty and delicious. Also I had grilled octopus that was cooked just right. Next time, I am coming to eat at 7:00 pm so I can enjoy the live music. I highly recommend Exit 9 to anyone.

    Stopped by after a movie at the theater right across the street. The burger was really juicy, thank you! I was surprised to see they have live music with a full band. Definitely coming back this weekend!

    The food was amazing! The wagyu melted right away and the truffle mash potato complimented so well! The octopus was fresh and the right amount of chewy! And the calamari was also fresh and delicious. The drinks were great as well!! Will definitely be going back!

    Never got water from the beginning, ordered two burgers, one medium, one medium rare both came well done, never had our plates cleared when we finished and dessert was given to us with no spoons with all our previous dirty dishes still on the table, it took almost 20 minutes for them to bring the check and then another 15 minutes to collect it. On the other hand, the restaurant looks beautiful, and the drinks are delicious.

    When I come to this especially during the day the atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The nightlife is electrifying. The food is always worth the money. The staff are absolutely kind and helpful with sharing specifics about menu items. Definitely a default for an outing with friends
