We went for the Easter brunch. The place is amazingly beautiful, big, bright, elegant, perfect for brunch or a romantic dinner date. Service was great, everybody was very accommodating and friendly, our waiter was always around to help in any way. The food was good, everything was cooked well, I had the salmon and it was very good, my mom had the prime rib and it was cooked perfect, my husband had the ham and it was excellent, my son said his chicken was good too. It's a fun restaurant and we'll be back to try their regular menu.

2nd visit to Notch 8 Grille and neither disappointed. Both exceeded expectations for total dining experience, service and food. I don't hand out 5 stars easily! Today we thoroughly enjoyed their Easter brunch. So many selections and all were presented nicely, was fresh and prepared perfectly. Their carving station featured prime roast beef and baked ham. The ham was truly amazing! I didn't try the beef but it looked equally amazing. Fresh shrimp platter, omelet station and bottomless mimosas or belinis (extra charge) too. All for $54pp! Service was attentive and refreshingly cheerful. I have no criticisms and that says a lot! I highly recommend Notch 8 for a fine fine dining experience. Photos are just some of the offerings!

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!

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 butte

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!
