    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.

    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.

    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!!!
