   Expensive for what is was. A few hiccups with the service but good overall.

   This is a restaurant within a hotel that unusually also lives up to being a neighborhood favorite. We've even met folks who have dined here for years after work before facing the traffic to get home further afar. Whether you're a local looking for a casual, high quality and reasonably priced meal, or looking for a dinner and/or drinks while traveling for business or pleasure, you'll be happy that you found Bistro 888! Starting with Zoe, a long-time fixture at Bistro 888's bar area, you'll find an excellent, professional and overall wonderful bartender and server! Zoe and others on the team make sure you are served great drinks and receive great service. Then there's the wonderful food. We love the burger and everything we've tried here in the evening. The fine dining adjacent Michelin starred restaurant, Luce, will (sadly) close this month. The restaurant's influence on the kitchen team continues to influence the quality you'll find here. If you are looking for breakfast, you'll also find a long time team who are friendly, professional, likely to remember you, and more. We love the buffet, but I believe they also have À la carte options, but we admittedly haven't taken that route. You can opt to be social by dining at their expansive bar area, or retreat to the dining room where you can enjoy the high ceilings and open space at a regular or high table, or retreat to a cozy booth. We aren't lucky enough to live in town, but have been to this hotel many times over many years and are yet to be let down.

   Outstanding server. Very professional and courteous. Though it was a lunch booking, we were not rushed. He made sure we are served with drinks and have needed time to review the menu. Both tomatoes and mushroom soups were yummy. The salad portion was generous too.

   I wish we lived nearby so we could become regulars here! Great professional, long term staff, delicious food, and we often meet interesting people…locals and travelers…when eating at the bar.

   Hidden gem inside of a very nice hotel. Popped in to have a quick lunch with my wife. The burger was cooked to her perfection, I had the omelette with potatoes and was really impressed. The service was outstanding! Definitely would recommend and return.

   Food was execellent, I had linguinie & clams & my girlfriend had the sole, she was so pleased as was I. Perfect for girls night out and of course service was spot on. We were not rushed and they were attentive.

   Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪

    This is a fabulous restaurant within The Intercontinental on Howard. Bistro 888 is staffed by wonderful staff of The Intercontinental. The food shares a kitchen with the Michelin starred Luce. The staff tend to stay and remember returning guests. You can eat at the bar as an option, where you may meet both locals and travelers. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced, especially considering it’s within a hotel, which often means overpriced meals. Our burger was a 10 of 10! Everything was great! We’ll be back!!!
