    A great place for our family to have a get together. 7 of us today and great service by Brett and excellent food as always. Service was very timely but yet they allowed us to sit and chat for a long two hour lunch!

    FourNine continues to be our local go-to dining for lunch, dinner, and special events. Our food this evening was excellent, as was service. And my Old Fashion was top notch as always.

    Exceptional as always! The food and service were excellent. We had the filet and the scallops. Perfect. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the Route 66 Cruise. We weren’t rushed. One of the few places downtown where you can sit outside and enjoy the weather and the sights.

    Enjoyed this gem for an early dinner as we were traveling through Springfield. We enjoyed a curated cheese plate, flatbread, and a generous salad for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
