Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪

This is a fabulous restaurant within The Intercontinental on Howard. Bistro 888 is staffed by wonderful staff of The Intercontinental. The food shares a kitchen with the Michelin starred Luce. The staff tend to stay and remember returning guests. You can eat at the bar as an option, where you may meet both locals and travelers. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced, especially considering it’s within a hotel, which often means overpriced meals. Our burger was a 10 of 10! Everything was great! We’ll be back!!!

We had a good meal but not great. Salmon and fregola was adequate but nothing spectacular. The ancient grains with salmon was good but would have benefitted from an increase in basic seasoning. Fish tacos were also good but the fish was over-battered and somewhat dry. Each dish lacked something that would have made them better than okay. Service was good but the booths are somewhat small and located next to the pickup station at the bar.

We had a delicious dinner: one of us had the salmon, the other the dorado. Highly recommend. Usually a hotel restaurant is at best mediocre, but this place was really, really good. We also had the breakfast buffet a few times. The servers were very cheery and the food was excellent.

I like that his restaurant, but the brunch was surprisingly simple. Just a very regular breakfast that one could eat elsewhere. Good service.
