A truly upscale restaurant set in an old industrial building that appears to be over 100 years old. The food was beyond phenomenal, from the expertly crafted and delightful flavors to the plating. The intimate setting was perfect for the occasion. The food came surprisingly fast, as did the drinks! My Old Fashioned cocktail was top notch, and my Ahi Poke bowl was the best I’ve ever had. Oh, and the Creme Brulet was one of my best ever also!

Notch 8 had a fantastic atmosphere — industrial yet classy and sophisticated. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. While I personally prefer peeled carrots, that small detail did not affect my overall positive experience.

We did the 5 Course Event adjacent to Notch 8 on Valentine’s, highly recommend buying tickets to their events. Food was great, atmosphere even better!

Best place to eat in the Lakes Area! We had the special, chicken, bacon ranch flatbread, homemade tomato tortilla soup with an amazing salad with smoked tomato dressing. Unbelievable!!!! Service was top Notch (wink, wink)!!! This pace is a must for anyone looking for a delicious meal, great service and a cool atmosphere. Brandon our server was friendly, fun and engaging. Great service, great prices, great food.

Great romantic spot for a date. I got lunch with my grandma here and it was so cute and enjoyable. Good and service was great and we were both impressed by the flavors and presentation of our meals. I would come back here again for a special occasion or just for another cute lunch date. The outdoor seating had a good amount of shade so it was pleasant even in the August sun.

Fun atmosphere, friendly service & great food! The menu is eclectic with something for everyone. The blue crab stuffed walleye is as good as it gets! Thursday night has Seafood Bucket special. Tasty & very filling.

Our food was very good. Onion rings and fries were excellent. (We recommend the beer cheese as your dip for the onion rings).
Atmosphere does tend to the louder side so not good for a romantic dinner. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are spotless. Dogs welcome on patio.
Will definitely come back.

They have such fun menu items. We had pizza this time, it came out quickly and was delicious! Both women working were helpful and friendly. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Alright, Notch 8 used to be our favorite place to bring the kids for pizza and “pub” like food. Now it’s more of a date night stop. Which is OK but bummed about missing all our pizza options.
I came for dinner in July to try their menu & check out the space being that there are new owners here’s my thoughts.
Food: I was disappointed to see some of our favorites gone. With that being said, the options now are good too! The onion blossom (not sure if thats the actual name) for an appitizer, they were good. The sauce for them is not worth the extra cost, in my opinion. I got a pasta meal for my main dish. At first, I wasn’t sure, the flavors were different but honestly really good. I enjoyed it alot! The garlic bread was amazing too! The only thing I didn’t like was that they asked if I wanted the garlic bread with the pasta, I said yes and then they charged me for it. Note to self: garlic bread does not come with it and they will charge you. Make sure to ask if there are additional charges if they ask if you want anything. Seemed like there were so many extra charges for little things that should have been included and stuff like that adds up quickly.
Drinks: The drinks were good. I had a speciality drink ( one for the 4th of July ) it was amazing!!! They were a little on the spendy side though.
Atmosphere: I miss the relaxed feel, it feels like they are trying to make it more classy with table cloths and having to wait to seated. Idk, it’s ok either way. I love that they have a patio now! We did not get to sit outside being it was a nice night and it was full but we will back and we will try to enjoy the patio next time.
Overall, we will be back for date night again. It’s a nice change from some of the other places in town. I would recommend!
