Globally-Inspired Locally Sourced
At NINE-TEN, every menu reflects the rhythm of the seasons and the abundance of Southern California. Executive Chef Jason Knibb works closely with local farmers, fishermen, ranchers, and artisan producers to create menus that evolve daily based on the freshest ingredients available. Longtime partnerships with respected growers, including Chino Farms, ensure each dish showcases exceptional quality while celebrating the region's remarkable agricultural heritage.
