    Super pricey~ two salad bar dinners were $63.98, no meat included. The meat dinners are $69 each so that seems a bit more on par with the likes of a good steak house. Glad we got to experience it though

    Great waiter very nice and helped explain menu. Was very nice when my dish was mixed up with another tables because of similar it was. The food is delicious from the pasta diavolo vodka and chicken parm. Big portions that guarantee your going home with a box. Great selection of wine, the red Tuscany wine we tried has become a family favorite. Staff bringing the dishes are very nice and on top of your empty water, bread refill and empty plate cleanup. Overall would highly recommend.

    We very much enjoyed PL8 and plan to return. The food was very good, and the service was attentive. The vibe is fun and a bit eclectic. The owner engaged with us which was a nice touch. The one thing that would help is better descriptions of the ingredients and prep in each menu item so that guests have a better idea of what they’re ordering. My husband ordered a dish he frequently chooses at other Chinese restaurants, and the prep and ingredients at PL8 were much different than what he was expecting. The dish was good, but not what he’d had in mind.
