V9 Gastrobar Restaurant

Came in for a steak night with my partner, would just like to say the food was impeccable, and the waitress who served us Tracy I honestly can’t thank her enough so polite and had a smile on her face at all times, all the staff were lovely. Will be definitely coming back 😁♥️

The food was lovely and the atmosphere was good and the couple we were with were very nice company

The staff were very polite and friendly, we had the tacos and some of the homemade chips. Both were extremely delicious and I would highly recommend.

Der Salat war mega. Selten so einen Guten gegessen. Mein Mann hat die andere Variante und war ebenfalls begeistert. Beide unterschiedliche Geschmacksrichtung. Die Bedienung hat hier alles alleine gemanagt und hat es hervorragend gemacht. Obwohl sie wirklich viel zu tun hatte, war sie so nett und freundlich. Wir kommen mit Sicherheit noch einmal in diesem Urlaub wieder.

Excelente

I ordered the king prawn linguine, when it arrived guess what was missing, the king prawns. The waitress had to go and get them from the kitchen. With such a limited menu you would expect all the food to be perfect. Still great views and entertainment here.

I don't often go out for breakfast because it's impossible to get a decent sausage in an English restaurant or bar for breakfast. So I was delighted to see the menu claim to have quality sausages. Unfortunately they're the same catering sausage ones finds in every English establishment. However the service was excellent, the Scottish lady offers an impeccable and friendly service. The homemade hash browns were also excellent.

Et sentralt og luftig sted med en solrik terrasse. En enkel og begrenset meny som viste seg å være preforberedt og knapt varmet før servering. De ansatte jobbet hardt for å følge opp Gjestene og ølen var god. Nok et under middels serveringstilbud i Quesada. Bildet viser min kyllingburger med salat.

Voor het eerst in Quesada minder gegeten. Het was een steak avond. We konden geen voorgerecht bestellen en het eten werd niet bereid zoals we besteld hadden. Na het eten waren er nog een paar die honger hadden. We konden geen voorgerecht bestellen terwijl de nachos daar heerlijk zijn. Helaas kon dat dus niet. Het enige voordeel was de prijs. Niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

A Disappointing Return to V9 – Potential Wasted Nestled upstairs in the shopping area of Ciudad Quesada, V9 is a quaint little restaurant with an amazing terrace, that once held promise. My partner and I were regulars in its early days, but over time, the declining food quality drove us away. When we heard a new chef had taken over, we decided to give it another chance. At first, things improved slowly. They even introduced breakfast service, which brought us back twice or three times a week, until they suddenly stopped serving breakfast, and we stopped visiting again. Evenings at V9 – More Noise Than Nuance We’ve never been fans of their evening service, primarily because of the unpredictable live music - which, to be frank, often felt less like entertainment and more like unwelcome noise. For us, a restaurant should be a place to relax, savour good food, and enjoy conversation. Unfortunately, blaring music kills the atmosphere, making it impossible to talk. If you’re like us and prefer a calm dining experience, evenings at V9 might not be for you. Our Final Visit – A Culinary Letdown Our most recent trip was for lunch, and sadly, it confirmed our decision to never return. We started with Baked Brie and Pâté - except the Brie was deep-fried(not what we expected) and the Pâté was clearly store-bought, lacking any homemade charm. For mains, we ordered the BBQ ribs and the Signature Beef Burger. The ribs tasted pre-cooked and vacuum-sealed, with none of the smoky tenderness proper BBQ should have. As for the burger? I would be ashamed to call it a Signature anything if it were my restaurant. I didn’t even take a second bite. To their credit, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance is pleasant, cozy, local, and convenient. But none of that makes up for bad food. When we asked why the meal was so underwhelming, we were told the head chef was off that day. That’s no excuse, a restaurant’s standards shouldn’t collapse because one person isn’t there. Identity Crisis & High Staff Turnover A quick glance at V9’s Facebook page tells you everything: this is a restaurant that doesn’t know what it wants to be. Is it a breakfast spot? A dinner venue with live music? A casual lunch café? The lack of focus means they end up mediocre at everything. The constant ads for new chefs and cooks also raise red flags - why can’t they keep a stable kitchen team? Final Verdict – 1 Star - At Best It’s a shame, because V9 has so much potential, great location, nice atmosphere, and lovely staff. But until they define their vision, improve food consistency, and ditch the ear-splitting music, we won’t be back. If you’re in Ciudad Quesada, there are far better options for the same price.
