Chef Joshua Bernstein brings excitement and flair to 9North with contemporary American cuisine.  A graduate from the Culinary Institute of America (first in his class) and Boston University’s School of Hospitality Administration, Joshua began his career in Boston, Nantucket and New Jersey restaurants. His experience in New York City executive dining rooms, catering to fortune 500 companies, led Chef Bernstein to open Behind The Cuisine in 2001.  He offers high end gourmet catering services to businesses and home dinner parties throughout Northern New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.

9North is Chef Bernstein’s first restaurant. As a long time resident of
Wayne, New Jersey, Joshua chose the area because he felt there was a need for a comfortable restaurant that offered a diverse experience with menus based on high quality, fresh ingredients that are hearty and enjoyable. Beautiful surroundings and a private dining room is available for parties and business meetings.

Patrons will find Chef Joshua roaming through the dining room talking to customers and listening to people’s comments, always making sure they are enjoying their experience at 9North. Joshua says, “9North is designed to be a family friendly, comfortable neighborhood restaurant, while maintaining an upscale quality of food and service.  Our objective is to serve our clientele with the best of everything, yet keep an open line of communication with customers.”
