8 By Andy Sheridan in Liverpool - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food excellent, service excellent. Will definitely go back again. Hayley and Stephen were brilliant. Great to be able to interact with the chefs all Round great experience 😁👍🏻

Our visit was good but I had high expectations for Restaurant 8 and sadly wasn’t blown away (especially considering the £500 price tag), however with a few tweaks it could be very good. The initial experience in the “waiting / bar” area is good and the host Hayley very welcoming and helpful. There you can order drinks and enjoy “chefs snacks”. The snacks were very good, especially the tuna taco served to you by the chef. I should say here that Andy Sheridan wasn’t there himself (the two chefs in his place were still very good) however, when paying a peak supplement on top of the price of an extra £15pp this ought not to be charged on evenings where Andy himself is not the chef in my opinion - and diners should be made aware in advance if he is not going to be there. From there you enter the restaurant experience and have the food cooked and served to you. Here is where the concept becomes slightly flawed, the restaurant is billed as an immersive interactive experience but in reality because of the set up of the seats along a long bar only the 4 seats directly in-front of the chef have an interactive experience. Unfortunately we were sat to the far left of the long table and no cooking took place in front of us, even though there were hobs directly in front. This results in some guests having a substandard experience to the rest of the group, although having paid the same. It seems strange to me that more effort wouldn’t be made to ensure an interactive experience for all guests when this could be easily achieved, either by moving guests around after each “ section” of the menu - mains / starter, or simply the chef moving his preparation area before dessert for example. The scallop dish and sea trout were very good. The wine pairing was good, with Hayley picking some fantastic wines to accompany the dishes. Overall with a few tweaks the restaurant could be excellent but the seating needs to be addressed for it to fulfil expectations as an interactive experience.

This is a difficult review for me to post. 8 by Andrew Sheridan is a beutiful place the food theater is amazing to watch and the staff are incredible attentive. The food itself is delicious and the presentation is like a miniature work of art. Having said that we left after two and a half hours having with 4 courses remaining. We were quite simply hungry and to put my size in to perspective I weigh 69 kgs. With a bottle of champers and a bottle of red wine we racked up an impressive bill of 520 pounds. We ended up at subway for a sandwich. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area and apologies I couldn't leave a higher star rating.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent hosts. Special mentions to Hayley and (in the absence of Andrew) young, local (by the accent) chef J (not sure how he spells J…) but he can cook, well, and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about everything he does and they do. Our 2nd visit, value for money questionable as very expensive (with drinks, we went for the (excellent) wine pairing) but an experience to remember and food not to forget, highly recommended

A truly remarkable experience, we wanted to spend a good time for our 34 years anniversary and really it made our day and week, food was fantastic the team was magnificent attention and dedication to details . All in all one of the best foods we have had in our life…

We didn't know what to expect when we arrived but we were greeted at the door on arrival and were immediately put at ease with a very warm welcome. Everything was spot on. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. The whole experience was a joy.

From the moment we were greeted at the doorway, until the time we left, everything was exceptional. The service, the food, the ambience. Had a fantastic afternoon.

Came across this place whilst looking for someplace special to dine whilst in Liverpool for a few days. Consider it found. On entering you know that this is something different as you head down into the cellars after a warm welcome. Often informality can imply a lack of attention to detail. Not here. Everything is professional and the front of house staff, and in this I include the chefs are, well, nice is perhaps an understatement. As part of two groups of 8 at separate countertops, after appetisers, you can see every aspect of your culinary journey being progressed. Entertaining and fascinating. So, to keep this short, the food? Absolutely delightful. The moral of the story, go there. It’s a great experience at a very reasonable price. And you leave with a full stomach. Excellent!

Super sensual, sexy amazing restaurant. Handful of staff, top sounds, food of the gods. Just go.

One of the best nights of food I’ve ever had. Staff were fantastic, Jake and Hayley made the night so enjoyable and we will definitely be returning soon

Came Saturday night with my daughter. An amazing unique experience! Food was superb! We had the wine flight too!The staff were so friendly & efficient. Would highly recommend this restaurant

Exceptional restaurant. Andrew has created a masterpiece in experiential, chefs table style cuisine. 5 stars all round for an incredible experience.

8 By Andrew Sheridan redefines fine dining in Liverpool. Exquisite presentation, unforgettable flavors, Chef Sheridan's innovative dishes make it unparalleled. The city's best restaurant.

In Liverpool, 8 By Andrew Sheridan is a must-visit. Exceptional food, charming ambiance, top-notch service—never disappoints. Undoubtedly deserving of its title as the city's best restaurant.

Unquestionably among the top 5 restaurants in the country—I've eaten at a lot of 3/2/1 stars 🌖

One thing is to raise the bar; another is to surpass it. Restaurant 8 is amazing—to put it mildly—awesome.

By far the best restaurant in Liverpool and arguably in top 3 in NW knocking on the door or Moore Hall and Manor and maybe even beyond them.

I was astounded by these men's efforts when I went out to supper on Saturday. Why this location didn't receive a star the previous time around is beyond me. Perhaps the next time?

Great food, top chef(s), excellent service, friendly and warm host, enthousiast sommelier....a top experience on all levels! Claire Gorris, Belgium visited on 2024-03-08

Absolutely fabulous experience from the first minute to the last. Haley and Frank are so engaging, they make you feel so welcome and look after you throughout the meal. Chefs are exceptional and create stunning dishes. Loved every second, the food was incredible, from the snacks before you go down to the chefs tables for the 8 course to the petite fours at the end. Nothing in Liverpool compares. Not cheap but worth every penny. If you're looking for something special look no further, we'll definitely be back.

We are very fortunate to have been in some of the UK top restaurants over many years now. Restaurant 8 is without question the most memorable of them all. It is casual, it is elegant, it is just one sensational experience from start to finish. The food was simply stunning with some of it cooked right in front of you for that interactive experiance. The chefs were chatty and engaging and are clearly invested in the business. We were truly blown away. An easy 10/10......flawless.

I don’t quite no were to start to describe this sensory overload. It’s like going to a show but one were you get fed , watered & entertained. Such a cool venue & the staff are just a huge part of that. It’s obviously the food we go for but it’s so much more than just food. It’s the flavours, the presentation the knowledge, craftsmanship & expertise that made it such a stunning evening. At £300 pp we did order all the extras like truffle, caviar, cocktails so it’s not cheap but it’s worth every penny in my opinion. I also came out surprisingly full! I didn’t expect that, but all the delicious food & beautiful wines made sure I went home with a happy belly & a happy heart. Thank you Eight, you were spectacular ❤️ Ps: My only gripe was the water isn’t free which they don’t tell you as they are serving it to you, it’s £5 pp. I only had half a whiskey glass full, so it was officially the most expensive water I’ve ever drank 🤦‍♀️🤣

Beautiful dining experience well worth a visit. Make sure you book.

Best dining experience I think I’ve ever had. Food was phenomenal, every dish was unbelievable and atmosphere / service was excellent.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant..The food was exquisite and the wine pairing was perfect. We enjoyed sitting and watching the creators do their work and chat about the ingredients..I would definitely recommend visiting.

Lunch at "8" by Andrew Sheridan on 13.01.24. You're first led into a dimly lit lounge area as soon as you come in. You enjoy a cocktail (or two) and Chef's snacks here. I had a Banana and salted caramel Old Fashioned, highly recommended! ⚜️ 3 snacks are served in the lounge are small but fully packed with flavour. Mini mushroom tart served with broth stood out for me as simply divine! ⚜️ In about 30-40 mins, you're ushered downstairs to the downstairs dining area with two long ceramic tables for 8, where the chefs cook the food right in front of you. ⚜️ First course: Sea Trout with bergamot & coconut in jalapeño water. Spicy and tasty, paired well with a citrusy Bodega Agerre, Txakoli from Basque. ⚜️⚜️ Second course: Monkfish fried in butter with spiced pumpkin & pumpkin seeds. Lovely Indian flavors paired with a delicious Riesling Kabinett. ⚜️⚜️⚜️ Third course: Wagyu beef with mushroom bolognese & black pepper paired with a glass of Vivens Margaux. Buttery Wagyu and an amazing wine. One of the top 2 dishes for me and my favorite wine of the day. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Fourth course: Shetland Cod in Thai red curry & XO butter served with Domaine Gauby orange wine. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Fifth course: Roasted Duck with Plum sauce paired with Domaine de Brezeme from Cotes du Rhone. Simply delicious. My favorite dish! ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Sixth Course: Passionfruit with malibu, lime & white chocolate foam served with an optional yuzu sake. Well balanced dish with a perfect pairing. Not a fan of sake typically but this yuzu sake was extraordinary! ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Seventh Course: Cornish Saffron Bun served with clotted cream, apple and miso sauce. This dish was paired with Rubis Chocolate Wine, my first ever taste of it and I'm obsessed! ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Eighth course: Wagyu fat fried soda bread with Baron Biggard cheese and truffle, paired with Coonawarra Cab Sauv. Though small in portion, a super tasty way to finish this amazing meal. ⚜️ Just as you think it's all over when you're taken back upstairs to the lounge, one final bit of surprise: a chocolate with pistachio and cardamom cream inside. Simply perfect. ⚜️ I have to mention Hayley the host, is out of this world and adds much to this overall amazing experience. This restaurant definitely deserves a Michelin Star! Paid £252 incl service and additional yuzu sake and initial cocktail.

The best eating experience I have ever had. Exquisite food, incredible wine pairing and unbelievably friendly and engaging service…. Can not recommend highly enough. We need more places like this that invest not only in the ingredients and food but also the entire dining experience… from coat drop off to coat collection and every single second in between. Seeing, hearing and tasting every course having watched it prepared and cook in front of you makes each mouthful taste even better. The investment of thought put into layers of taste with the wine pairing brings everything to life…. If you are wondering if you should go…. Don’t wonder anymore…. Just go!! #WishWeLivedCloser !

Lunch. An immersive and exciting dining experience. The menu begins in the bar with chef’s snacks as they appear dramatically from behind a black curtain. Let the show begin. We are led down a dark, moody staircase to the dining room and take our places at one of two chefs tables. There's no waiting staff as everything is prepared and served by the chefs themselves. One of our chefs was the very charming Jake. As he talks us through the components of each dish, the whole thing feels very natural. First on the pass is Hamachi,Bergamot & Coconut. Followed by a very tasty Cornish Cod,Tikka & Pumkin Seeds. Wagyu Beef,Teriyaki & Maitake, which was blow torched in front of diners. Next up was Scottish Langoustine in a delicious Thai Green Curry & Cashew. The star of the show was Roasted Duck with Prune & Waldorf. Desserts Passionfruit,Coconut & Lime. A very sticky Cornish Saffron Bun,Clotted Cream, Rhubarb & Tarragon. Finished off with a delightful little soda bread,Baron Bigod & Truffle. After the meal, you are led back up to the bar for a last little sweat treat. The cooking is outstanding. An experience itself is more than the food on the plate as the stars of the show are the chefs themselves. We loved it and would gladly go again when back in Liverpool.

Excellent food which melts in your mouth, a truly wonderful experience with a chef cooking all in front of you. All the staff are excellent and share their passion for their trade. It’s not to be missed, I shared with friends and had a fantastic lunch

Restaurant 8 was just wonderful. Andy and the team looked after us so well and the experience was truly unique. We loved how intimate the setting was with only a small number of guests dining per sitting. Food was incredible! It was lovely learning about each dish and where he got his inspiration. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. We’ve always felt Liverpool lacked good restaurants particularly of this calibre. We don’t live locally but we’re already planning our return next time we’re up.

We had a wonderful experience and felt extremely welcome. The food and drinks were superb and we'll definitely bring our friends next time. Gi-Gi was confident and relaxed while preparing our delicious food and Hayley presented our wine flight with a delightful charisma. We're excited for our return visit already - thank you!

Lovely staff, and some delicious food! Watching the plating up of the dishes was interesting; the commentary from one Sicilian and another Liverpudlian cook regarding particular courses was fun! As a great lover of cheese, sadly, the cheese offering was the only really underwhelming part of the menu; I noticed others did not partake - I did eat mine! It was disappointing that Mr. Sheridan did not join our party at any point as we were the evening's only guests. As for aesthetics, I personally am not keen on black walls as, despite a few little lights, a touch brighter environment brings with it a more comfortable ambience. Nevertheless, it was a great pleasure to spend precious time in celebration with family and friends! This is another gift from a family who sources and provides new experiences to share - always a joy and always thoughtfully planned!

Thank you to the team at restaurant 8. We booked a private dining experience with wine flight for our 10 person event. The food was absolutely superb the atmosphere that the staff created was amazing. I would highly recommend

Simply amazing! What a fantastic place. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere. Everyone so friendly and knowledgeable, especially Frank & Hayley. The food is exquisite. Every dish is full of flavour and made to perfection right in front of you. Highly recommend. Will be booking again 😁

Beautiful food amazingly presented with the most friendly staff. A real treat and a totally unique social dining experience.

Had the most amazing evening here last night. Incredible food, drinks, atmosphere, and felt so welcomed by all the team. Left feeling like I'd been on a 2 week holiday!

Fab experience highly recommend

What an outstanding place. From the moment we entered Hayley was at hand. Her greeting of “welcome to Andy’s home make yourselves at home, sit back, enjoy & relax”. That completely summed up what an evening we had. Absolutely amazing a truly memorable experience.

An excellent fine dining experience

Fantastic evening! Great welcome from Frank and Hayley and Andy and Pippa were ace, brilliant concept, executed to perfection. And the food was pretty damn good too :) A special kind of evening and we will certainly be back.

Wonderful from start to finish. Relaxed but luxurious. Would strongly recommend the drinks pairings. Team were second to none, service was incredible. Food was somehow even better than the service. What a brilliant experience, thank you!

The food was delicious and we loved the experience. Watching the chef (who was very friendly) prepare the meals and answer any questions was very informative and interesting. The wine pairing was very enjoyable too, served by a lovely lady Emma who made you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend!

Food was incredible and everything about the evening was fantastic. Every course was delicious and hard to find any fault at all. Made to feel welcome from walking in the door and looked after brilliantly all evening by the genuinely friendly and knowledgeable team. Great experience from beginning to end and loved being able to chat to the chef as he cooked for us.

A truly amazing dining experience. Andy and his team are passionate about delivering something different and their hospitality and food does not disappoint. Each dish is brilliantly thought out and full of contrasting flavours. This restaurant is a wonderful addition to Liverpool and I can’t wait to see how they grow.

Amazing experience! The staff were so friendly, the food was out of this world and the wine pairing was perfect. Couldn't fault it. More of a full night out rather than just going out for a meal. Would hugely recommend... fantastic night out!

Incredible ideas and phenomenal experience with lovely personalised service through out. Obviously cuisine coming from a wealth of knowledge and passion!! There is no other experience like this in Liverpool. Not only high quality but food aplenty. Will be recommending to our foodie friends

We can't rate more than 5. Simply a wonderful experience. Staff were amazing, so friendly. It wasn't formal, you were actively encouraged to get your fingers in! Didn't feel time pressured. Most expensive meal we have ever had (we are from Yorkshire) but we'll worth it! Should be a Michelin star!!

Booked for December Birthday back in July only for restaurant to cancel as had a ‘group booking’ placed end of August. Really disappointed as have dined at OXA and food was amazing. Needless to say won’t be going to either restaurant again if this is his they treat potential long term customers.

Wow from the moment we walked though the door we knew we were in for something special. The ambiance and the atmosphere was fantastic Andrew and is team are very welcoming and make sure you feel special. We were there for a tasting experience and was shocked food could taste so good ( I don't like fish ) but wow it was a game changer for me. Every dish was explained how it was made before tasting. Fantastic experience we wish and the team all the best in the future..... amazing

Absolutely faultless in every aspect, food, service, ambience. An informal, immersive chefs table experience. Chef Andy and team explain every aspect of every dish as you watch them be created. Easily the finest restaurant in Liverpool and a Michelin star should surely follow. At the end of the experience, chef Andy personally goes to speak to every single diner, a gesture fantastically appreciated. Can't wait to return and shall be banging the 8 drum to anyone willing to listen.

The whole experience is amazing - food, wine, ambience.

If it were possible to give it six stars I would. My wife and I went last night and added the wine flight. What a culinary experience! Quite the most exquisite food either of us have ever tasted. Coupled with the ‘Entertainment’ in the shape of live cooking, together with a soupçon of commentary, provided by our Chef GG, it was quite some of the best 3 hours we have spent.

Loved every minute of our experience. So much fun and we’ve come away with food memories to last a lifetime! Thank you all x

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and all of the courses. Being able to see the chef preparing and making the dishes was a highlight. Food was stunning - specifically mushroom tart( i dont usually like mushroom), scallop and chocolate desert course.

A very unique and wonderful dinning experience. The restaurant team where great, the atmosphere felt very exclusive and the food was astonishing.

From the moment we walked in, the whole concept wowed us. A different dining experience than any we have experienced before. Very friendly & welcoming. The food was of exceptional high standard. Sitting along the table with other diners & interacting with the chefs as they cooked each dish directly in front of us,  just showed their genuine passion for their profession. We would highly recommend Restaurant 8 to all our friends & family. Most definitely worthy of a Michelin star ⭐

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Restaurant 8, I had a brilliant evening and loved both the concept and execution. I said to Andy and the team on the night that it felt like a dinner party at a friends house - with the most sublime food being served up. I’ll be returning next time I’m in Liverpool and I’d advise anyone reading this review to check it out.

Absolutely amazing food and a great experience having a chef cook for you in front of you. It was like being on tv.

This place is just amazing, the quality of the food is fantastic, the presentation of the dishes and attention to detail is on another level, friendly staff, great atmosphere, overall amazing experience that I highly recommend to anyone

We can't thank Andy and his incredible team enough for immersing us in such a wonderfully relaxed but vibrant experience. The personal touch set the stage for an exceptional night where our senses were equally delighted, tantalised and satisfied. Each element of every dish was singing with intense flavour and the wine pairings delivered new, exciting profiles. Our only regret is that we live in London and can't return on a regular basis.

Could 8 finally give Liverpool its first star? Super impressed from start to finish, and I actually don't want to spoil too much, but we were incredibly well looked after, in terms of both the food and the service. This is very much an intimate dining experience, essentially sat with the chefs all evening, and if you're a fan of tasting menus and a service team at the top of their game, you'll be delighted. Three hours flew by. Seriously wonderful. Can't wait to go back. Our bill came to just shy of £300 for two, and worth every penny.

All I can say is give it's a try... its unique it's different it's expensive but if you enjoy exceptional food and dining then book that table ... tremendous.

The best dining experience in Liverpool. From the second we were welcomed into 8, we felt we were in for an amazing experience, the snacks offered by Andrew in the bar area were all stunning and so powerful in taste that we couldn't wait for the next course. We were led to the counter where our chef carefully cooked and explained the dishes in front of us,with each perfectly paired wine offered and explained by possibly the best sommelier we have ever encountered. Each dish was more intense in flavour than the last and followed each other perfectly. The highlights for me were the mangalica pork with a beautifully intense broth, a beautiful scallop with brown butter and one of the best dishes I have ever had, an intense grana padano custard with apple caramel. I genuinely didn't want it to end. What an absolutely amazing experience. We will absolutely be back.

A truly unique and immersive dining experience, stunning fine dining and truly delicious.

For a first time at a tasting menu experience this was the perfect evening. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left we left like we where among friends, Hayley and Frankie welcomed us and made us feel at ease. Piper and Andy had prepared the most amazing dining experience that money could buy and true to the surrounding area the evening felt informal, friendly and like you where being welcomed into somebodies (exceptional) kitchen. For me this is only something that could be done on a very special occasion but I have told everyone that I can in the last week that it is worth the money. I can't wait to see what this team does in the future and I'm sure they can achieve Liverpool's first Michelin star.

Would give a 10 if I could. We were a party of 5 & none of us could fault a single thing. A fab nite from beginning to end…. Well done to the whole team.

Entered a darkened room with background music, offered a drink and sat down in anticipation. We could see two chefs busy in the corner but no sign of traditional tables for dinner, we wondered what we had come to, surely this must be better than a Friday night chippie! The chef brought us the first of three snacks, the promised fine dining experience exploded into life. The delicate snack had more flavour than the entire tasting menu we had had at Elemento a week earlier. Wow the bar had been set high, two more snacks came each one trumping the previous. We were then ushered downstairs to a countertop bar style range with comfy stools and chef Andy Sheridan introduced himself explaining the format. 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing and what a delight, taste buds dancing with the depth and layers of flavour, excellently paired with meticulously selected wines. With no weak course we just didnt want it to end. Liverpool has finely got a Restaurant that is truly fine dining, with a home grown Chef who has an extraordinary talent for creating exceptional dishes. Could this be Liverpool's first Michelin star, dont waste any time book yourselves a seat.

Exceptional from start to finish. The food, ambiance, wines and service are setting a new standard. Can’t wait to return.

Very special place , wonderful decor in very relaxed atmosphere Food amazing, level of service and attention to detail second to none Well done all Good luck for the future

Had to cancel at the last minute due to illness. Expensive exercise. Suggest checking cancellation policy carefully.
