I waited to review Passion8 until I had a second chance to taste the menu. We went for Valentines Day where the menu was fixed so I thought it unfair to write up a review without fully experiencing the menu/ambiance/etc.
Unfortunately my preliminary opinion remained unchanged when we revisited this past month. Service was average, food was alright, and the wine list overpriced.
The most unsettling takeaway from the second experience first hit us when we walked in and the entire restaurant smelled like spoiled fish. Later to find out that this was coming from the scallops... Definitely not something you expect at a high end establishment.
While this place has hints of being a trendy/foodie/hotspot, it misses the mark on most core fundamentals. I may recommend this to a friend as a place to grab a drink, since the bar area is cool, but that's all.
