Neighborhood gem

The owners of the Back Nine were equally inspired by the rich history of local cuisine and food preparation dating back to Rancho Carbonero. In Spanish, Carbonero is a place where charcoal is burned, much like an American BBQ. Our expansive fresh grill menu hopefully creates a pleasurable time for each of our Back Nine guests, as they view part of the famed course's front nine.

Food was much better than expected. We went for Restaurant week, and they handled the crowds much better than the other restaurants we’ve been to. The artichoke soufflé will bring us back. The mahi-mahi and salmon were generous servings cooked just right. The veggies were colorful and tasty. The potatoes and coleslaw were very good. The berry cobbler was also delicious.

Lucille was a terrific server. Our group was served in an efficient and timely manner. Lucille was attentive but unobtrusive - gold stars for her skills!

The food was good. Ambience, at a table near the back of the restaurant, was lack luster. Also the 1980s pop music was turned up too loud. We had trouble hearing each other. I asked the weight staff to turn it down, and she said "of course", but then we never heard a difference in the volume.

Phenomenal service! Great wine selection. Food was good, not great. If you go—Have the cheeseburger with sautéed onions and blue cheese.

Enjoyed cocktails at the bar before dinner. Food was good and would come back. We all had steak dinners. One of our party sent back his dish for not being right. This was dealt with and I appreciated the promptness in turning another plate around.

Lunch with friend, had the wedge salad and a dose of scalloped potatoes. Delicious. Only complaint is the chairs are wood and hard so wish they had pads.
