Enjoyed our 15 Anniversary and had the “date night menu” which was fantastic! Phenomenal service from everyone we interacted with. The corn ribs, power bowls and cheesecake were perfect!!! So so so delicious and huge portions. I am not a fan of cheesecake but this one was incredible!!! It was our first time but definitely not the last. I’ve been raving to everyone since our visit on July 31st. I can’t remember our waitresses name but we were there around 5pm on the patio….she was incredible.

I had a fantastic experience at The Eight Note Restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that gets everything right. First off, the food was absolutely delicious — fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. You can tell there’s care put into each dish, not just in how it tastes but also in how it's presented.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and great service throughout our meal. It's the kind of place where you feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated as a customer.

Another thing that stood out to me was how clean everything was — especially the washrooms. It might seem like a small detail, but a spotless washroom says a lot about how a place is run, and here, everything was immaculate.

Whether you're dropping in for a casual lunch or planning a nice evening out, The Eight Note hits all the right notes (pun intended). I’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a disappointing experience at The Eighth Note. From the moment we walked in, the host (with the green hair) didn’t greet us—they simply told us we can sit anywhere. Once we chose our seats, the host brought us water with dirty glasses (literally had lipstick on one of them🤢) Our server was polite, she apologized for the dirty glasses and brought out new ones (which had water stains on them).

We ordered two sodas and a sangria pitcher, with the corn dip appetizer. It took over 30 minutes just to get our beverages (the ‘beach bum’ sangria was great). The server apologized and said that the wifi went down and their kitchen was unable to see what orders were put through. After our beverages and appetizer arrived, it took over 20 minutes for the server to take our main meal order.

THEN, it took over an hour for us and the table behind us (who ordered at the same time as us) to get our food. When another group of people came in much later than us, they were served both their beverages and main food before our table and the table behind us. It was interesting to note that we were minorities, but the table who came in after us and was served their food right away were not minorities…..I asked the other server (who was apologizing to the table behind us for their long delay) why that group who came in after us got served first and she immediately said ‘I can get you a manager’….huh?! I didn’t ask for a manager, I simply asked a clear and simple question. It was like that server thought I was going to lash out or something…very weird behaviour on her part🤔. Also, what would a manager tell us after we’ve already waited for so long? We simply wanted our food..

Overall, this experience was below mediocre. The $150 worth of food that we bought was not that good (two of us ordered cajun pasta which was undercooked, and the ‘fan favourite’ Vera Cruz power bowl was severely lacking flavour). The server offered to discount our meal, which was kind of her. But we absolutely won’t be returning.

‘Atmosphere’ was a 1 star because the FLIESSSS were everywhere..

I had a wonderful experience at The Eighth Note in Milton. Lexi served brilliantly—she was pleasant, cheerful, and made the visit truly enjoyable. Her warm and attentive service added a special touch to the overall atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Had a great time at The 8th Note for their pride drag show!!! Great entertainers (Robin Loren, Heaven Lee Hytes & Katinka Kature), fantastic staff and management and the food ... OMFG it was soooo good. Sizzling corn dip is worth the drive alone it was that good! And their chicken club on a ciabatta bun was chef's 💋 definitely will go back to sample other menu items ... they kept walking by with orders and I kept drooling 🤤 😋 🤣 Check it out!!!

Pretty disappointed in the food here. I ordered the crispy Brussel sprouts and they were disgustingly, greasy and way overcooked you can tell by the pictures that they were not good and not meant to be serve served.

My husband got the mini spicy sliders and he said they were pretty good but also a bit on the greasy side. Presentation of them was sloppy.

The margaritas were decent.

The Atmosphere is pretty cool and the patio is nice on a sunny day.

Not the greatest experience!! The food was so so, dry and lacking flavour! I was sat looking into the bar area of the restaurant. What I saw was serving staff having what looked to be a little party of their own. Eating food, laughing it up, licking their fingers then off to serve or seat other guests. Servers were even walking through the restaurant eating as they went! Very very Unprofessional!! Eat there at your own risk! 🤷‍♀️
