Went to Asia Nine for a co-worker’s farewell luncheon. The staff reserved a long table towards the back for our group and provided a two-course selective menu including drinks. I tried one of the specialty drinks – pomegranate lemonade. Served in a cute mason jar, it was sweet, tangy and refreshing. My appetizer and entrée were fresh and delicious. The portion was very generous and satisfying. Everyone seemed pleased with their choices and the servers were very friendly and attentive. I think I would try dinner or sushi at this place again.
