1) Chef Andrew Simonich and the nine team are offering an exclusive one-night-only Chef’s Tasting Menu experience this New Year's Eve. Bar and Wine Manager AJ Maroney has hand-selected the wine pairings designed to elevate each course and the occasion, available to guests as an additional option.
Long known for its dual Chef’s Tasting and à la carte menus, nine refined its culinary approach this autumn, shifting to a single menu that embodies its ethos as a neighborhood mainstay equally suited for a spontaneous midweek cocktail or special occasion. This New Year’s Eve, Chef Andrew Simonich brings back the celebrated Chef’s Tasting Menu, inviting guests on an immersive, multi-course journey that highlights the creativity and craftsmanship of the nine team.
Guests are invited to choose between two distinct seatings – a six-course tasting menu (from Bay Scallop Crudo to Westholme Wagyu) will be presented to those with reservations between 5:00pm-7:00pm, while an eight-course seating (from Ravioli al Uvo to Seared Duck Breast) will be presented to those with reservations during the second seating, between 7:00pm-9:00pm.
In addition to the menu courses, Chef Simonich is crafting the iconic Nine Boston Prune Gnocchi with Foie Gras Sauce – a nod to the restaurant’s legacy, featuring hand-made potato gnocchi filled with wine-poached prunes – offered as a supplemental course for both tastings.
Celebrations will continue through the evening, with a midnight countdown and a complimentary champagne toast to ring in the new year. Guests who book a reservation during the second turn will have their table held through midnight should they choose to ring in the new year at nine.
Cost: 6-Course Chef’s Tasting Menu: $195 per person; Optional Wine Pairing: $125
