Unfortunately, we didn’t really enjoy our experience. It was a last minute booing as we needed somewhere to go after graduation and it’s what was available. Caesar salad was good. Most of the food was average. Ambiance average and music was very loud. It’s fine to just grab some food if you’re in the area but wouldn’t make this a destination to go to.

Food was incredibly mediocre. Kale caesar salad was mostly iceberg lettuce and duck wings were obviously reheated and sopped in sugar. It was very loud and impossible to have a conversation. Line for bathroom was terrible. One star. Cocktails were fine. Server was great.

Just a very bland eggs Benedict. Couldn't taste any lemon or any other flavor. Wife had BLTE. Supposed to have chipotle but she couldn't taste it. My spicy bloody Mary was good though. Also seated at table in back with poor ambiance.

Stopped in for brunch, and the chicken sandwich I had was very good. Now, the Sazerac cocktail was strong (nothing wrong with that)and a good fit for those who like a licorice tasting drink. The service was great.

Ward 8 was a great spot for our group of 14, and everyone, including the few young children we had in our group, loved the meal we had there! The staff was also very helpful and accommodating as we had a couple special requests around celebrating birthdays and adjusted our numbers the day of. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a group dining option neat the Garden/North End.
