Steakhouse 9 Bistro Lounge - Lynden

For reference, I ordered a teriyaki chicken bowl (which barely filled a quarter of the takeout container, enough for a small child), two orders of nachos (where I could count the pieces of chicken on one hand, plus the nachos were soggy), a taco truck trio (which had no salt or flavor), and a prime rib sandwich (which was actually quite good).

**The Food:** I ordered the spaghetti with Kobe meatballs, and it was incredible—though there was a bit too much sauce for my taste. The flavor was still fantastic, but the sauce-to-pasta ratio could have been better. The bread that came with my pasta was also quite good. My girlfriend had the teriyaki bowl, which she loved! I got to try a bit of it, and the teriyaki flavor was delightful. I also had some sushi (I can’t remember the name), but it was outstanding—very fresh and tasty; I just wish there had been more! I will definitely be returning! **Parking:** The parking situation is great. Since it's all owned by the same company, there are plenty of spots to choose from. **Kid-Friendliness:** The place is quite kid-friendly, but choose your seating wisely. We were near a family, and the kids were misbehaving. They really put their parents through the wringer! Aside from that, it’s a good place for families. **Wheelchair Accessibility:** The restaurant is easily accessible for anyone with a wheelchair.

All the entrees were priced at $29, except for the beef, which averaged $75 per plate. That's ridiculous! The music played didn’t suit the atmosphere of the restaurant; a more peaceful selection would have been better than the rock and roll.

Great time tonight for dinner on the lounge side patio. We enjoyed the Short Rib Philly and Stroganoff. The food was excellent and the service was top notch, too. We'll be back.

The view and vibe on the patio are amazing...the mountain was out and the food was superb! Great service also. They really have it together here!
