We went as a group of 6. Lovely view. Our favourite dish was House-baked pillow sourdough, truffle and beef fat candle. Good atmosphere and music was not too loud. Definitely recommended

A Fantastic Dining Experience at Above 8 We had the pleasure of dining at Above 8, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious—we couldn’t fault a single dish. We enjoyed pan-fried barramundi, chicken supreme, and for dessert, the vanilla cheesecake with raspberry and raspberry sorbet, along with the indulgent Valrhona Delice. Every bite was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. To complement our meal, we sipped on Little Goat Creek Sauvignon Blanc and Quilty Shiraz, both excellent choices that elevated our dining experience even further. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles, and the exceptional service continued throughout the night. The staff truly made our evening special. If you're looking for a fantastic restaurant with amazing food, great wine, and outstanding service, Above 8 is a must-visit! Highly recommended.

We were a large group., attended on sat night. The view great, easy parking. Service was average, our server, I didnt smile at all, not once. It appeared she was the only server in the place so I guess that could be why. Trying to get anyone's attention to order drinks was HARD. there was 1 bar tender all night, so long wait for drinks. The majority of the food was good, the vogouli was delicious, the lasagna terrible. for the price tag the servings were small. Also advertised live music, no live music. Can't say I'm in a rush to go there again.
