| - With Tender closing, we went in search of a new "go to" higher quality cocktail/eats place. This was my second time at Eighth and Hays. It's deceptive from the outside, not much to see, but it's a really well furnished/stylish once inside. For any one of the following reasons, I would rate this place as 4 stars, but the fact that it excel at so much has been impressive.
Service:amazing. Everyone is personable, attentive, knowledgeable about the food and beverages. Bartenders and chef come out to check on your happiness.
Drinks: interesting rotating seasonal cocktails, very good "speak easy" style staple of regular cocktails. (the Sazerac is spot on) A very nice wine list. Also really good happy hour drink specials.
Food: excellent! Wood fired pizza is the feature and is almost always what I will get going forward. But, a nice appetizer/tapas starter menu is available and the entrees I've had "pork chop" and "Filet" were incredible.
Dessert: Get the Love Jug and expect to have to share it. This is an A+
Summary: For a couple during happy hour. 4-6 cocktails, 1 shared appetizer, 1 shared pizza, 1 shared Love Jug. You're out of there for under $100 with every phase of the meal being A+
