I love M&A, had never been to 8 Bar. Our server was kind. It was VERY warm inside. HOT, actually… like ZERO AC. So, we opted for outside, but it was really windy And everything kept flying everywhere. Beverages, even water bottles, took forever to arrive. & We never got ice. We had to cancel our 2nd water bottle because it took so long. Caviar Cheesestick was HIGHLY overrated. Meh, experience.

Avoid this place at all costs if you have any dietary restrictions or expect even basic human decency from staff. I have celiac disease, a severe gluten allergy, and when we asked about gluten-free options, the staff was not just unhelpful—they were shockingly rude and dismissive. Despite the fact that the happy hour menu is primarily sushi (which should be easy to modify by omitting soy sauce), the server flat-out refused to accommodate in any way. They didn’t offer alternatives, but just bluntly stated there was nothing for me to eat off the menu, and had zero concern for my health or experience. This level of negligence and disrespect is unacceptable, especially from a place that tries to present itself as an upscale dining option. The complete lack of customer care is appalling. If you value your health, your time, or just want to be treated like a human being, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this restaurant.

I have gone to this restaurant for special occasions and I always have a great time. I have also had the same service person, Raymond, who is simply the best. Thank you to the restaurant for always celebrating my special occasions in a fabulous way.

The service was amazing! However, the food was a bit underwhelming… I normally like to leave positive reviews on food. Normally if I don’t like food I don’t leave reviews, but the service and staff were amazing so I wanted to give them there props. I just feel like the food and drinks for that quality and price I would have rather went to like nobu. Honestly I think the place is okay for a first try but for the same experience and a bit better quality I’d recommend another spot. I got the sushi from the happy hour and regular menu. Good for a first time try but unfortunately I wouldn’t go back if I was looking for a quality happy hour or sushi menu.

Love this space downstairs...the staff, Ivan, Chloe, Sergio and the entire team are wonderful as are the sushi chef and team. I love the spicy tuna on crispy rice as well as all the sushi. Pricey but amazing and the ambiance is exceptional so...it is my go to neighborhood spot and I highly recommend. The outside tables are also fabulous in the warmer months but I still prefer the BAR. Very cozy!

Great first experience. The season cocktails are amazing. Pleasantly surprise by the entire menu, not just the favorites. The service is great as well. My personal favorites are the toro and waygu nigiris, King crab roll and the mozarella stick.
