As the name suggests, there is only room for 8 people and reservations are a must; almost like getting concert tickets.The atmosphere is great, you use a phone in the hotel lobby to be escorted to a speakeasy for pre dinner drinks which are so unique and delicious.Then it's time for dinner which doesn't disappoint. We had 19 courses and each one was a piece of art and flavor was unbelievable. We loved how the chef and team explained the inspiration behind each course, which is a cross between Canadian and Japanese cuisines. My wife had the tea pairing and each one was incredible, I had the wine pairing which was very good too.Cannot wait to come back, reservations open soon!

I went to Eight with my mother and up until the very end, the experience was excellent. The food and drinks were delicious, the service during dinner was great, and we were invited into the speakeasy area for a final drink, which felt like a nice touch. The head chef even came out to mingle with guests.Talking to the head chef, my mother shared a kind story. A few nights earlier, she had attended a private dinner where a chef spoke very highly of Darren MacLean, sharing that working under him saved his career when he was about to walk away from food entirely. My mother was simply trying to pass along a compliment and casually asked the head chef to share it with Darren if he ever got the chance.Before she even finished speaking, the head chef cut her off, scoffed, laughed, and said, “I gua

Very unique experience, and food was incredibly creative, only 8 seats available and reservations are hard to get. Start out in their exclusive lounge, Speakeasy, for starters and cocktails before heading over for dinner. Very cool bar menu including their mocktail. After dinner we returned to the lounge they called it After Eight for drinks and petite four. Darren himself came out and gave a brief intro and dropped in and out to chat with us. An experience to remember!

Eight Restaurant gave me a great dining experience during reservations. From making a reservation to being served, everything was handled professionally. The food was excellent, full of flavor, and well presented. The environment was warm and enjoyable, which made my dining experience even better. I had a great time and would definitely recommend Eight Restaurant to anyone who loves good food and quality service.

The experience started with thoughtfully researched drinks by the amazing Randy in afterEIGHT. Then, into the horseshoe-shaped, 8-ish seat, intimate Eight space, I personally enjoy the views of all the food preparation and assembly.

We were greeted by Sandrina who had such a charm about her in every way. She explained the pairings so well and had lots of information about the wineries and the beverage. Randy, the mixologist had so much passion for his creations (which were absolute fire) and was very personable.

There were numerous items and flavour combinations I had never experienced before, and there wasn't a single course out of the 18 that I did not thoroughly enjoy. The stories behind each dish and the fact that the ingredients were local also made the experience even more enjoyable.

Best dining experience of my life. Every dish was exceptional, thoughtfully prepared, and paired with a story that made the experience even more memorable.

We were excited for the food but weren't quite sure what to expect from "Canadian Cuisine". Absolutely everything about this experience - food, drinks, service, setting, and especially the story - was exceptional.

Truly and unforgettable experience. A beautiful, intimate setting with superb service and world class drinks/food. A must go

You have to try this dining experience. Calgary is lucky to have this quality of food and drink, paired with this amazing staff.
