As the name suggests, there is only room for 8 people and reservations are a must; almost like getting concert tickets.
The atmosphere is great, you use a phone in the hotel lobby to be escorted to a speakeasy for pre dinner drinks which are so unique and delicious.
Then it's time for dinner which doesn't disappoint. We had 19 courses and each one was a piece of art and flavor was unbelievable. We loved how the chef and team explained the inspiration behind each course, which is a cross between Canadian and Japanese cuisines. My wife had the tea pairing and each one was incredible, I had the wine pairing which was very good too.
Cannot wait to come back, reservations open soon!

This is one of the most unique, and best experiences I have had within Canada. With the recent introduction of the Michelin rating in Canada it is beyond comprehension that this would not hold the distinction. One of the dishes (duck) and two of the mock tails were not to the liking of my guest at dinner, however it was based on personal preference and nothing to do with the quality or taste of the food. I have been to about 10 or so Michelin Star restaurants in NYC, Eight sits firmly above the majority, nestled somewhere close to Per Se and Atomix at the top of the list. The team was wonderful, very light hearted and personable throughout the whole experience. The Food and service is the best I have had in Calgary and Canada. The scarcity of the reservations can be frustrating at first as I had tried to get in for a few years, however after the experience of trying to get scarce reservations in a city like New York it became a breeze, and adds alot to the fun.

Very unique experience, and food was incredibly creative, only 8 seats available and reservations are hard to get. Start out in their exclusive lounge, Speakeasy, for starters and cocktails before heading over for dinner. Very cool bar menu including their mocktail. After dinner we returned to the lounge they called it After Eight for drinks and petite four. Darren himself came out and gave a brief intro and dropped in and out to chat with us. An experience to remember!

It was my first time and it was the best culinary experience I've ever had. I have been to highly acclaimed restaurants before but the experience Chef Darren and his team provide is something you'll remember forever. The passion and creativity that is presented in the food is so unique. It really sums up what real Canadian cuisine is and should be . Have to thank Randy, Sandrine, Chef Dez and Demi for their impeccable service and hospitality. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to go again in a different season.
Great pre-dinner drinks, omakase dinner and post dinner drink but no lingering after dinner past a cocktail as had reservations for lounge and they were ushering us out for a group that apparently didn't show up.

We went to EIGHT two years ago and we still talk about this experience. It was truly a one of kind and transformative night. The food was sensational, the dinner was so intimate and being able to chat with Chef Darren as he explains his cooking methods, his farms, his career journey….it was magical. ✨✨

Very unique dining experience in Calgary. I've been fortunate to attend Michelin star restaurants, and the service, the food and the attention to detail is right up there with them. It's taken me many attempts to get a reservation, but it was well worth the wait. The mocktail and tea pairings were very unique and enjoyable to go along with the meal experience.
