Went in on a warm sunny day. Was promptly sat down. Ordered the seafood chowder and pork belly. Chowder was hot but very good. Pork belly was small but ok. Did not like the mashed potatoes. Not sure why so many more upscale restaurants feel the need to put shallots/green onions in their mashed potatoes, but I wish they'd stop. Other than that, was a nice place to eat that provided a nice respite from the heat and sun outside.

8a is a great restaurant. Consistently great. Today I turned up with 7 people for a Mothers Day lunch and I had made booking for the wrong day. They found us a table in what is probably one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. We had super food and brilliant service. It's my favourite restaurant ❤️

Delicious and thoughtful brunches, rich homemade lemonade with bright sourness, the most delicate creme brulee and pleasant, sensitive, prompt service. I really enjoyed it and now I want to go back for other dishes.

8A Brasserie has been one of my favorite restaurants for years now! Donal and the team always provide such warm, attentive service, making every visit special. The chefs recently outdid themselves with an absolutely top-notch dinner, and I just had to share this review. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing little restaurant. The atmosphere and the vibes it gives are so nice for a romantic date. From start to finish the staff were so friendly and nuthen was too much for them. The service was fantastic. The food was top hit. The dishes were cooked to order, and the presentation was fabulous. There was music on at the time, and it was just a guy playing the guitar singing every type of song but very mellow and just nice. Just really finished off the ambience of the setting. We were sitting upstairs, and when we finished our meal, we were offered a table downstairs to listen to the music and have a cocktail, which again was so good. Would recommend this 5 star.
