Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
8Eleven at Union Club Hotel is a culinary gem on Purdue's campus, celebrated for its "excellent service" and "delicious dishes." Guests rave about the "warm and cozy" ambiance and "attentive" staff. Though some find it pricey, the "braised beef" and "deviled egg special" are standout options. Perfect for special occasions!

    I reserved a spot here for my birthday and overall had a lovely time; The food was fantastic, the staff was positive, well-informed of the menu and very open with their recommendations. I ordered some raw oysters and they were so refreshing paired with the mignonette sauce and also with the cocktail sauce-which was, surprisingly to me, also very tasty (as a non-cocktail sauce enjoyer). With little wait time we also received bread and butter as well as a cocktail I ordered. The bread was chewy with an excellent crust and crumb and the butter was perfectly portioned beside it. My cocktail was a pomegranate-based drink that wasn't too sweet and certainly smooth. I ordered a shrimp pasta as my main dish and my partner ordered the braised beef- both of us were more than content and absolutely pleased as we ate them, I only wish there was a touch more kick to the pasta as the sauce was a bit mild to me (still very very tasty though!). Finishing the night we shared an order of their strawberry shortcake, which although I am partial in favor of strawberry shortcake as a whole, I enjoyed especially. Fantastic staff interactions throughout the meal and the restaurant had a great romantic ambience, which I appreciated!

    Our server Elise (sp) was lovely. Atmosphere good and food yummy. A bit over priced for what it is. Our bill before gratuity was $262 for 3 steaks and 1 shrimp pasta. No salads. But a lot cheaper than some of the places we ate in Vegas so not really complaining about that. Only complaint really would be whatever drink they gave me was awful. It was supposed to be a strawberry lemonade. Neither of those ingredients were in that glass. LOL I made everyone taste it to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. So I stuck with water. But our server was so sweet, I didn't want to say anything negative to her. She was working very hard. And it might have been a bit too dark in there, the guys couldn't read the menus, they had to get out flashlights. :) But I would recommend for a special occasion meal.

    I appreciate them accommodating one added person to our party. The food is always tasty, but what made this particular visit extra special was our server Amelia. She was friendly, attentive, and anticipated our needs. What a great asset she is, and went above and beyond for us!

    The food was good but we found a hair on our ribeye! It was taken away and a new one arrived but others had finished eating by then . Would have expected at least a comped dessert? We didn’t ask but nothing was offered either - disappointing

    We had the Mother’s Day brunch specials as well as a steak and eggs and some zero proof cocktails that were all delicious. My only wish was that they had a high chair available.

    Our waiter was great! Unfortunately we were not alert enough at 7:15 to remember his name. He was very attentive, made sure everyone enjoyed their meal, and was really nice.
