My wife and I were downtown for a show. By pure habit our feet took us to the door of Paul's Club. . . only thing is that they moved up a few doors and we found ourselves at the 608 Restaurant. Looking for dinner we decided to check it out.
Things were up and down as far as number of stars. I'll try to rate things along the way to give you an idea what I mean.
The staff was very friendly (5 stars) - we got a nice greeting at the door and were seated at a table across from the bar. Our waitress was quick to come by with water and asked if wanted drinks. We did and both ordered beers (one tap one bottle). These took an awful long time to make it to us (3 stars), not sure why.
My wife ordered a burger with BBQ and sweet potato fries. I got the Fish Fry that you could order off the menu or all-you-can-eat for a few dollars more. Food came out pretty quick and looked good and had decent portions (4 stars). My fish fry was pretty good. The breading had good flavor and was not too greasy. Slaw was fresh and tasty as were the fries. Tarter was in this tiny tin pitcher thingy - which was difficult to use, but ok. (4 stars). My wife's burger was big, had a real nice bun - but she didn't care for the taste. She kept saying it tasted like a "Lipton Soup burger" you make at home. (3 stars). Their was some wild garlic, spicy sauce too that came with her burger (or fries) that she didn't care for but I thought I was excellent. Just didn't go with either of our meals.
Weirdest thing was the music when we were there. I think this was just default music that played up until someone picked songs on the Jukebox. Maybe the idea was to play such awful music that it would urge people to put money into it. . . .I don't know - but we both were blown away by the super cheesy 80s love songs coming out of it. Very bad (2 stars). Guess we should have played something...
Atmosphere and prices were OK. Tough one to rate really. Wasn't thrilled, but I think I would go back again and try a panni. I think the chef was pretty good and I'd like a 2nd impression. Hopefully we'll get back again soon.
