Reviews
The front space of the restaurant is primarily occupied by the aforementioned bar with a small number of bar tables, a pair of which are uniquely built into the wall across from the bar creating a more secluded feel for those seated there, nice for creating a little oasis escape. Walking past the front tables and bar seating the space has a few steps up that take you to the remaining dining tables. The slight increase in elevation combined with good design choice create a pleasant separation from the bar without losing the beauty and warmth that casts into the space through the translucent stone. For spring, summer, and warm fall evenings there is an outdoor space just beyond the main dining area that makes for a great space for dinner and drinks with friends without sacrificing the few amazing outdoor days we get in New England.
The real complement to all of this though, is the food and drink. Reading over the menu makes it clear that the staff have put incredible thought into how to craft upscale food and cocktail options with Japanese ingredients and feel without falling victim to overplayed tropes. If you’ve had the opportunity to visit one of the other Hachiroku businesses you’ll see the same level of thought and care put into the menu here. Some of my personal favorites from the food menu: truffle fries, calamari & mushrooms, Wagyu beef salad, manilla clam sakamushi, teriyaki burger, and anything they have on a skewer.
The drinks share the same love and attention as the food in their creation and execution. I’ve tried many amongst friends and they’ve all been incredible. I have a soft spot for the Ripe Chuhai but the Persimmon Spice and Fresh Start compete for my favorite. The Sakura colada is a sweet treat that I can’t help but order. The glassware for the drinks is stunning and adds such an elevated feel to an already upscale establishment. I enjoy when new drinks are added to the menu because it often means new unique glassware as well.
I’ve already stretched this review beyond my intent, but I also want to mention that the service and staff are great as well. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been friendly and helpful in explaining menu items and offering suggestions when I’m undecided or looking to pair my food and drink nicely.
If you’re into great cocktails, food, or ambiance it’s worth a visit if you’re in town.
The staff was friendly and attentive.
Food was excellent.
The price wasn’t asking for too much considering the quality.
We went early around 5-6pm and it was very quite. The only problem with the place that I saw was the bathroom toilet was missing a flush button and the place wasn’t really given its own flair as far as decor from the old 116.
