    Had dinner here with a friend Friday night. I have been wanting to dine here for some time. It did not disappoint. It's not a huge area but the views are amazing and the atmosphere was great. On a warm summers day/night sitting outside on the balcony would be amazing. There was a live band (duet) which were fantastic. Really enjoyed the dinner/food and will definitely be back! Parked in Westfield's across the road and entry is through the Travelodge. Had always wondered about the access but it was super easy!

    Always fabulous food and terrific service. This place with the sky high views is an undiscovered gem. AND they dont kick you out after 2 hours if you opt for early service ie 6:30. Turn over is not their main concern. Its a neighbourhood gem that you can always rely on.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining and enjoying cocktails at Above 8, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with taste. The rooftop setting is chic and inviting, with comfortable seating and an atmosphere that effortlessly blends elegance and relaxation. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and polite. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a night out with friends, Above 8 delivers on every level. I can’t wait to return!
