Booked the restaurant with a 20% off à la carte offer on The Fork, but just noticed now that they have not taken that off the bill. Too late now I guess but not great to put these offers on The Fork and then not follow through with it unless the customer notices and complains! Apart from that food was nice, especially the meat was really good and cooked to perfection (could have been served a little warmer though). We had to give back the first fries we received as they were more or less cold when they arrived at the table. They were replaced by fresh ones and our waitress brought an extra portion as a courtesy - at least she said so, however we still found them on the bill later on… Not super impressed by their wine list (both the standard and premium one), they carry mainly the well known expensive brands and clearly price them above what you would usually pay for these wines in a restaurant. So worth it for the meat they serve and the ambiance is...
Read moreI write after eating here twice. The first time was very good, it was a large work gathering so I did not pay attention much to the food, but it was a good experience. The second time, OMG! I ordered a different meat/cut, and it was the rarest piece of meat I'd ever eaten after sashimi hahaha (though I asked for medium to well done) but also the best by far!

Before I didnt actually think I would, but now I do think I will come back for that same piece of beef when I feel like splurging. At the end of the day I still think spending $60 on a piece of steak is extravagant, but at least this time it was worth it - something that's hard to...
Read moreThe gap between 8OAK and other restaurants, is as wide as the gap between Young boys and FC Basel. This is the fun benchmark. This is the line between the nice place with cool staff, and a restaurant that gives you a crazy meats, music that adapts to the ambience of each evening differently, and adorable staff with phenomenal attention to details, providing fantastic atmosphere from heart.
I’ve been eating around the world. Lived in this city for over 20 years. I rarely saw such devotion from people, like I saw in Sophie or Yasam. And every other person who gave us the best birthday dinner in a long time.
Dancers, music, everyone is available at all times for any requests, amazing dishes and meat, sensual atmosphere around the restaurant, and space for everyone to enjoy.
Do not stop, and I wish you force to continue the same way.
