Really enjoyed the food at 9 mile. Corn ribs were a nice starter, BBQ chicken leg - yum, salmon with the rice was fantastic. Rice was almost a risotto, then the lamb chop. Great food, a bit expensive, but location + great food = value

Great experience as always! We needed to push our reservation back an hour the day of and Murphy's was able to make it happen no problem. Always such a great, smooth experience. Our crew loved the burrata, lobster cobb salad and Bonzo cake. Wednesday is half price wine bottles!
