I did not have high expectations for this Asian urban club lounge style restaurant completely out of context in a basement in the Yorkshire countryside... But... It blew me away. Dining in London you have your pick of upscale Asian cuisine so I was jaded for sure... But let me tell you, it was well worth the visit. Arriving at Grantley Hall it's an impressive and beautiful place and the modern new building where 88 sits is sexy and inviting. The cocktails are interesting and some delicious. The service good. The food however, is a labour of love in its own right. We had the tasting menu...opting for the standard and one vegan for variety and shared almost everything. To the chef I say bravo, your dishes were inspired and original. The chicken broth wow, the Korean fried cauliflower wow, the clay pot tofu (cannot believe I'm saying this... Wow), the celeriac in masterstock ...wow. the rhubarb sorbet wow. Both menus were equal and I have never said that about vegan food so last night was an education in vegan for me in the art of the possible. Mind blown and will not be forgotten soon. Thank you!!
We've had a wonderful evening at the EightyEight, the tasting menus (both regular and vegan) and drinks were absolutely delicious, I really appreciated that the vegan menu is its own, thought out, menu and that the dishes were served at a good pace and portion sizes were just right. The ambience was great as well, with every single person we encountered being friendly and professional. What set this place apart for me was the attention to detail that was evident at every step.
Absolutely superb. We had the 8 course tasting menu and it was truly exceptional. Great relaxed atmosphere with attentive but unobtrusive staff.
