  • Had a fantastic evening celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday at The Eighty Six. The team was warm and welcoming, every bite we had was delicious. And that little dining room is something special. Highly recommend the smoked dirty martini, croquettes, sardine escabeche, creamed spinach gratin, corn pot pie, rib cap steak, and banana trifle. We look forward to coming back, hopefully soon!

  • Had a really lovely experience at The Eighty Six. The hospitality stood out from the moment we arrived as Jermaine, the maître d warmly welcomed us which immediately set the tone for the evening. Dev also came by to greet us and shared some of the history of the space, making the experience feel personal. We were seated at the Hemingway table and everything from there felt relaxed and well paced. The Waldorf salad was the standout dish for us, incredibly fresh, balanced, and honestly one of the best versions I’ve had. The cheesesteak followed closely behind and was rich and satisfying. The complimentary pineapple dessert was an unexpected surprise great way to end the meal. A restaurant can have great food, but it’s the attentive and genuine service that makes you want to come back, and the team at The Eighty Six really nailed that.

  • Lived up to the hype for sure. Everything was on point. Beautiful place, great service, tremendous food. Kevin, our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the history of the location which was quite interesting. He did a great job throughout the service. Very professional. We had as much as we could eat - the pastrami hamachi crudo was probably the most interesting bites. Lobster spaghetti was phenomenal as were the croquettes and the pot pie. Also had the rib cap which I always love. Didn’t have a bad dish. Definitely would like to go back. My only negative feedback is that their ice cream sandwich dessert is TINY like never had an ice cream sandwich that small in my life tiny.
