Wynter was an EXCELLENT server for our group of 6. She was very attentive, responsive and detailed. She made our birthday celebration dinner very special. Food was good. Calamari was a bit chewy not as good as usual. Everything else was great.

This was a gathering of old dear friends so the ranking is high because we were served great food by a very nice and friendly server that provided great service without being overbearing. We started with cocktails and then dinner. We stayed for three hours laughing and talking and never felt pressed to leave. Nice job Stortinis!

About the restaurant

A beloved regional destination for Asian cuisine, 8 welcomes guests for lunch and dinner service once again!

Featuring a newly refined dining atmosphere, 8 offers all the menu favorites patrons know and love as well as a few new surprises.

Sourced from New England and delivered fresh throughout the week, live Maine lobster is available for hand selection from saltwater aquariums. Guests can choose one of three preparations – Salt & Pepper, Black Bean or Ginger Scallion.

The delicacy of Peking Duck is also a new addition to 8. Marinated over five days and roasted to perfection, the flavorful, crispy-skinned entrée—served with scallions, cucumber, and steamed buns as well as hoisin sauce—sates parties of two to three.

The number 8 is a symbol of luck and wealth in many Asian cultures.

This is probably the best Mizu location I have been to. They actually did a real show and the guests were involved. My toddler loved the show. My mother in law has not been a fan of any restaurants in America during her visit but she finally liked the food at this one. Overall it was a great night and we all left with smiles and full bellies with leftovers. We will definitely come back to the covington location.

We ordered prime ribs. The prime rib was excellent except for the horse radish and Aji sauce. That could use a lot more flavor and kick.
