Customer Reviews
From the moment we stepped into The VIII, we knew we were in for something special. While waiting to be seated, we were greeted with a refreshing virgin Aperol spritz and bottomless champagne—a delightful start that set the tone for the evening. What followed was an extraordinary 8-course tasting menu, each dish perfectly paired with a wine from a different corner of the world. And somehow, every single wine felt like a personal favorite. The food was phenomenal—creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service? Absolutely superb. Attentive, warm, and genuinely passionate about the experience they were creating. The surprises didn’t end with dessert. The chef personally came out to thank us and gifted us a thoughtful parting treat. Then, the hostess handed us a handwritten than
Awesome, "Michelin-esque" experience. Fantastic service, inventive dishes, and an awesome wine-pairing / cocktail program are the staples at VIII. Highly recommend! Do yourself a favor and book this amazing experience.
Fantastic food and wine tasting experience. Very intimate and full of knowledgeable chefs and a sommelier to explain the dishes and wine to you. Excellent flavor experience that is one of a kind, and does not disappoint.
My brother took my mom and me to VIII by Selanne Steakhouse to celebrate our upcoming birthdays—and WOW, it was beyond amazing! From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious… and DO NOT sleep on the wine pairing!! It truly elevated every course and was reasonably priced for this type of menu. I’ve been to a few other restaurants with tasting menus, but this one was by far the most memorable and well worth it. The level of detail put into every dish and pairing really shows! We had such an amazing night—it was fun, flavorful, and felt really special. Definitely a birthday celebration to remember!!
The food and wine experience you’ve been searching for is right here at VIII.
