Notch 8

We stopped at Notch 8 to check it out. We sat at the bar and Ryan waited on us. We ordered the Dumplings, which were fabulous. Also we ordered the Ahi Tuna Asian Bowl, another delicious meal. I do have to say that Ryan made our experience perfect, he was very helpful with the specials and service!He is a gem!

Quick update. The Mushroom Flatbread Sammy is amazing as is the Lobster Bisque (deep lobster flavor, way less of the cream flavor in most places). The special tonight was Thyme crusted Cod on mushroom risotto with a really good Cambazolla sauce. Yum.

Beautiful atmosphere. Great tasting food and accommodations can be made for dietary needs. Full bar with a large available selection of beers, wines, hard liquors, and non-alcoholic beverages. Specials on the menu and updates regularly, so the menu changes and is kept fresh. Good service even when it's busier times.

Notch 8 should be called Top Notch! My boyfriend and I had a top-notch experience. Kristi helped with taking our food order and pull tabs. At Notch 8 you grab a menu when you enter and order your food at the counter/bar.I was told about the taco pizza by a previous customer who visited Notch 8 and during my visit, it was no longer on the menu, so I asked about it and apparently, it had been removed from the menu. Thankfully Kristi asked the cooks if they would still be able to cook me the taco pizza and they were able to do that for me. We arrived at Notch 8 during a Vikings game and come to find out they have half-priced pizza during the Vikings game. WHAT A DEAL!I tried 3 types of pizza during the visit: Taco Pizza, Nick Friggen' ZA 2.0, and Sweet & Spicy. Of those three my favorite was sweet and spicy. I enjoy the table tops as they were all different and creatively designed. One table was dedicated to Anthony Bourdain, wheres waldo table, the magic gathering table, and many more.

We had an opportunity to visit this place last evening. Very nice place with a pleasant atmosphere. Great railroad theme and is located near and active railroad so you might see a train!This is an order at the counter style place, so you walk in, grab a menu and place your order at the counter. A waiter then brings it to your table. It was a rather slow evening, so it was an easy order and the wait time was under 10 minutes for our meal. The drinks are also self-serve at a fountain style area that also includes your take home boxes for leftovers.The meal was very good, and I order the hamburger that included the brisket which came in the form of slices. It was also served with beer cheese sauce which I ordered on the side because sometimes places go crazy and douse the burger. The beer cheese sauce was good as I applied it lightly to the burger. Curly fries were very good, and they were plentiful, in fact, I left some on my plate. As for the value of the meal? Nowhere near the $20 price tag for a burger! I would come back to try to pizza and chicken wings. That seemed to be a better value and it looked tasty!Overall, a 4 star because of the value, service and food quality were both very good.

The service was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The only minor downside was that it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait for the quality of the dishes.

Good food and atmosphere! Very unique and delicious pizzas, and they make some delicious and drinks!

Yes, Yes, & Yes! Thank you Notch 8 for such a stylish place to hang out! You will fall in love with their pizzas, wings and beautiful charcuterie works of art...all sealed with a kiss from the trains that come thundering thisclose to the building, so thrilling!!!

Went to try Notch 8 under new management. Great idea. Very cool menu choices. Had delicious lobster bisque. One of the best I've ever had. Actually tasted like lobster. We will be back. Highly recommend it.

Had a great meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive. She answered all our silly questions, including how the restaurant was named. Definitely will be back.
