I needed a place to take my partner to dinner for our anniversary, and I chose Restaurant 88 based off the reviews on this website. I wasn’t sure it would live up to the hype, but it certainly did, and more!
The service was friendly and efficient, attentive but not annoyingly so, and the waiter didn’t get flustered or annoyed by our questions on dietary requirements (all except two of the mains are gluten free by the way!).
The food came quickly, and was just divine, cooked perfectly and so full of flavour, not huge amounts so you feel bloated, just enough to feel satisfied. We indulged in dessert also, again a wonderful selection of gluten free items, and again served promptly, and full of flavour.
Although the restaurant was busy, we did not feel rushed or pressured to leave our table when done.
All in all an amazing dinning experience, and we will certainly be returning! -

I was looking forward to returning to Cafe 88, which has always been a favourite of mine. I came away disappointed that the quality of the meal has gone from excellent to mediocre. I selected the pork and prawn crepe, which I’ve had in the past. It didn’t have any of the usual fresh and succulent flavours, and worse of all, it had some strange tasting blob of paste in the middle.
Others seemed to be happy enough with their meals. And the service was excellent. -

I’m not sure how much point there is in writing this review as they seem to have so many good ones already. We have dined at 88 four or five times now so it was about time to give them a big thumbs up.
Every time we have been the service has been prompt and efficient, the food has been really tasty and we have always left with smiles on our faces and very full tummies. I am not going to comment on the authenticity of the Vietnamese dishes as i have not been to Vietnam (as i am sure neither have many of the other reviewers) but for us the dishes are well cooked and well presented and have always been very tasty.
Feel free to try 88 and i hope like me you will not be disappointed. -

I have dined here about four times and the food is outstanding as is the service. The entrees are just amazing in variety and also in taste – extremely refreshing and just a pleasure to dine here. I will be making this Restaurant a must eat place when I am in Wellington
