   An exceptional dining experience at the 908 Restaurant! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful evening. Our waiter, Bubba, was a standout highlight of the night—his friendly demeanor, funny, expert knowledge, and impeccable service truly elevated our experience. Now, let’s talk about the food—the creativity and presentation were nothing short of stunning. We started with the Iceberg Wedge Salad, a fresh, vibrant interpretation of a classic. The tangy and well-balanced dressing perfectly complemented the crisp iceberg lettuce and fresh toppings. The Calamari was a delightful surprise; it was tender and perfectly crispy, accompanied by a zesty dipping sauce that added just the right kick. Moving on to the Roasted Bone Marrow, I was blown away by its rich flavor and luxurious texture. It felt like a true indulgence, and Bubba’s recommendation to pair it with the house-made toast was spot-on. The Ceviche was fresh and refreshing, showcasing the chef's creativity with a beautiful mix of flavors that danced on our palates. This was followed by the Shrimp and Lobster Linguine, a highlight of the evening—perfectly cooked pasta tossed with succulent seafood and a deliciously creamy sauce. Every bite was a savory delight. For dessert, we indulged in the Crème Brûlée, which had the perfect crackling top that gave way to a silky smooth custard. The Fresh Seasonal Cobbler was another winner, bursting with fruit flavors, and the Pistachio Chocolate Tiramisu was a delightful twist on the classic, combining rich chocolate with the nutty essence of pistachio in a creamy, dreamy layer. Every dish was beautifully presented and expertly crafted, making our dining experience at 908 Restaurant one for the books. big thanks to Bubba for his wonderful service and for guiding us through the menu. We can’t wait to return for another culinary adventure! Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking.

   Wonderful spot for our anniversary brunch. Gerald was such a great waiter and made our experience a great one with a surprise anniversary dessert complete with candle! Outside seating was a louder space than our inside seating experience but it was a beautiful SoCal winter balmy day and the Holiday Fair in the open space on front of The Hangar was so cheerful with the crown and the DJ. Thanks 908 for keeping it special!!

   From making a reservation to leaving, all was exceptional. Must haves include: the Artichoke and spinach appetizer with homemade chips followed by either the Beef dip sandwich (which never disappoints), or the Lobster roll (with plenty of lobster), and terrific sweet potato fries. Dessert and French Press coffee are a real treat. Be sure to have the Pistachio Chocolate Tiramisu. There are no lattes here, just good coffee. Service with a smile is what you receive at 908.

   The restaurant was good, but not the best I’ve had. Our server was amazing but I was disappointed that the manager didn’t care to correct an error their kitchen made. We ordered the appetizer Brussels Sprouts with bacon but it came with no bacon at all. Unfortunately, my husband and I were so hungry and that we didn’t notice until halfway through the dish. I let the waitress know and the manager instead offered a free dessert, which we declined. It made no sense when the dessert would probably be the same price as the appetizer. It’s such a small inconvenience, but I did leave feeling annoyed. We were there for a birthday so we didn’t leave feeling special or anything like that. Also, my reservation had listed we were the for a birthday so I would have anticipated something for my husband.
