9 MILE food + drink — Restaurant in Area E (Naramata/Greyback)

The best part of the place is the layout, outdoor seating and the vibe -- all rolled into one.

As food goes, the burger was generally tasty. A beef liver myself, I would have liked it more if the beef component was higher than the pork. Moreover, the burger was over-seasoned so pairing that with the baked cheese just enhanced the saltiness.

The couscous salad was colorful, and well presented, making it a fine side or even alternative to the salt in the burger. But then, there was the hair in the garnish which set the stage for an unfortunate turn to the meal.

Servers were awkward trying to joke it off. I declined ordering a dessert and further from the menu after this and asked for the bill. When it came, it was suggested I could go to the sole convenience store / grocer to grab a 'cheaper' dessert there.

I'm not sure if the servers were a little salty about the tourists or just had an off-day. Fortunately, there aren't many options for visitors to Naramata, so unless you've got a car or are largely self catering, 9 mile won't be short of customers.

At least, you know where to get 'cheaper' desserts if you're not feeling like spending more at 9 mile: the sole...

So disappointed with the service. We are local, but It is our first and last time in there. Took about 15 minutes for waitress who were chatting in the back to attendant our table, ( I believe another waitress reminded her of us), about 35 minutes or so for our orders to get ready, not to mention that we had only three items on the bill, ( a beer, veggie Panini and Quinoa salad) Not to mention that we had to remind the waitress about our drink after 20 minutes of sitting there and finally when she brought the panini, she completely forgot our other order, Quinoa salad, and once we mentioned that she didn’t bother to apologize. Also, while we waiting for our food we overheard the conversation between staff and party of two who just got there; the kitchen is closed for half an hour due to the shortages of staff.😳

We believe there were enough staff to serve people, if they were well trained and qualified enough. It seems that due to the poor management the whole system was not...

Recently had an evening meal at 9 Mile. I had the tartiflette with the arugula salad. The tartiflette was slightly warm when it was brought too the table. The waitress took it back to the kitchen but it was still the same temperature when she brought it back. I would have preferred it to be much hotter than it was. The menu says it says it has bacon and onions in it. Bacon was very sparse and I can't say I found any oinion. It was tasty but very disappointing. So for $18 it was basically potatoes and brie. The salad had a very different taste and I later found out it was tarragon of which I am not a fan. It was pretty cool out whilst we were there, however the waitress was accommodating in providing a blanket and closing the doors and turning on the heater when we asked. Service and quality of food were good but I found it expensive and somewhat disappointing. My husband had the burger but made no...
