Was there on Saturday evening restaurant was not full and no wait. Waitress was fine for service. The pace of the food was the issue. We had half salads with our meals. The salads took a while to come out. We were not done eating our salads and our dinner came out. The person that dropped them off didn't get the clue that we were still eating our salads and probably should not have dropped our dinners off at that time. We finished our salads and had a dinner that was not hot since it was sitting at our table for a little bit while we finished our salads. The scallops were slightly over done. The spinach and garlic that it was served with was not executed properly in my opinion. The garlic was raw and unevely cut. The highlight of the meal was the wine we had, the bread and butter, the shot of espresso; even though it came after my dessert and the carrots.

We had an amazing experience at Notch 8 Grille recently. First, we purposefully arrived early to experience the Tunnel Bar downstairs (a must try) for a drink. This is a must try. Once upstairs for dinner, the staff at Notch 8 was nothing short of amazing. They were friendly, accommodating, and not once did we feel rushed. The food was amazing. We had mussels for an appetizer, and the tomahawk steak with brussels sprouts for dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection. And, both at the Tunnel Bar and Notch 8 we had martinis; which were great. If you haven't been, I highly suggest a trip!

Food was good, atmosphere very nice with classy, creative decor. But the best part was the service. Joe the bartender has a lovely personality. Professional, yet a great sense of humor. Drinks were excellent. Will definitely be back to sit in the bar lounge with Joe as our server!

Churned out food, 3 out of 4 meals were sub par, all over-cooked.

Had dinner with my husband for our anniversary & unfortunately it didn't hit the mark. The service was overall ok... hostesses were very welcoming, server was alright & not that we were in a rush but the food took quite a while to arrive despite the dining room not being remotely full (with the exception of 2 event type reservations we observed).
Food... the salad & bread ended up being the best part. I ordered the sea bass with a coconut curry sauce. It arrived room temp & honestly pretty bland. Dinner was my first meal of the day so I ate it regardless since I was quite hungry at the time. We had gotten the prosciutto wrapped asparagus to start, which was decent but a lackluster looking 5 skinny spears. Husband got a steak that was quite a bit more done than he had ordered but again, ate it anyway.
Cocktails were pretty tasty. The blackberry 75 was my favorite of the 2 I tried.
Super cute look inside so it's a shame the food didn't live up to our expectations by quite a lot.
One last detail that just struck me as odd was as our server was wishing us a good night after dropping off our paid check, she turned completely away before finishing her statement which just came off as disingenuous, like she couldn't be bothered to spend the extra 2 seconds to finish. Just came off as strange, & this is coming from someone that has been a server for quite some time, herself.
Likely won't be back unfortunately.

It was all around bad. The server was nice though. Pretty sure there was a microwave involved with the shrimp.

Just had dinner at the Notch 8 Grille and it was great! The food was amazing! I had the scallop dish and my partner had the chicken franceses and they were delish. Our server Joe was incredible. So kind and attentive and he was also the bartender and his drinks were amazing! Great service!

My husband and I were in the area a couple of weeks ago for our daughter’s wedding. We had a delicious dinner and drinks here. Our server was Afrike! She was wonderful! She was very professional and so friendly and kind! We live in Boston but I would drive out there just for dinner and a visit with Afrike. Great experience all in all!
I went there as part of a large wedding rehearsal party. The staff handled the entire event brilliantly. I would recommend using notch 8 for any such event as I could not imagine how it could be done better. The food and the service and the atmosphere were just perfect for the event.

I recommend Notch 8 to all visiting family and clients. Notch 8 offers a formal dining experience at a decompressed pace. Subtle music accompanied with dim lighting invokes a relaxed lounge feeling. This was evident as I observed all adjacent tables were engaged in conversation and not buried in their phones ignoring one another.

We had a superb experience at this hidden gem. We tried the 1/2 price apps on Sunday and immediately knew that we would return to celebrate my Birthday dinner on Wednesday. The upscale atmosphere, exceptional service and the quality cuisine was impeccable. Our server Afrike created such a memorable dining experience. She was attentive, friendly and went above and beyond to make my Birthday dinner so special. The prices are reasonable for the high quality food and service...worth every penny! Highly recommend Notch 8, can't wait to return!
