Station Eight

After a recommendation from a friend we tried Station 8 and we’re not disappointed. The restaurant and bar areas were exceptional in decor and cleanliness. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the special bar drinks, Espresso Martinis were amazing. Our waiter Adam was one of the best waiters we have had in the last year and half, his attention to detail was meticulous. He was polite and knowledgeable in explaining menu offerings, a true asset to this establishment. The entertainment was also a plus, loved the Beatles music. Definitely will be returning.

Grilled Swordfish Chop over vegetable risotto is savory and flavorful. Shrimp scampi has succulent jumbo shrimp over a light garlic butter sauced pasta. Mediterranean Turkey burger juicy and delicious with truffle fries. We also enjoyed the lobster won tons and chilli chicken wings. We loved the railroad artifacts and comfortable seating. I loved my cozy corner table overlooking the downtown. I could have sat there all evening!! We will be back again soon The outdoor patio seating looked very appealing. We really enjoyed everything.

Service overall is inexperienced & food is average. It appears challenging for staff to work as a team. While most seem friendly, there was a controlled chaos on a Sat night when Disco Dream band performed, who were terrific! Too bad more tables couldn't be moved after dinner service is over to make room for more dancing.

Our first visit to Station Eight and would classify this place as standard pub fare. I ordered the Caesar salad with steak tips and found the Caesar dressing to be quite bland and the steak tips to be without much flavor even though they were cooked to order. The flat breads were more like a thin pizza than a real flat bread. The clam "chowda" was thick but tasted more like something that was canned than fresh. The party who ordered the lobster Mac & cheese liked it even though he claimed it was rather soupy. The lobster roll was tasty if not a bit on the small side. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Fries served with two meals were a bit soft but tasty. The atmosphere and setting was open, clean and bright.

Experience here was fine, atmosphere is great.. We came here as a backup plan after our original spot was closed, and heard good things. Food was tasty, great drink selection, kitchen was understaffed so it was slow, but not the reason we wouldn't be back. As mentioned, the food was tasty, but not over the top great. I had fish and chips which had a crumbly breading and was a little overcooked, and my wife had a salad from the specials. I had one cocktail, she had a mocktail (was charged for a cocktail), and we had the wings. All of that came to about 98 bucks with tip. I absolutely don't mind spending money on dinner, just think this is a bit pricey for underwhelming food, which is the main reason I'd probably stop here for drinks and head somewhere else for dinner.
