Came here and ordered a margherita pizza for myself and it didn’t disappoint. Food arrived quick and the servers were very friendly and polite. Not to mention the atmosphere was great for dining too.

Would love to come back again to try more of their food.

A Fantastic Dining Experience at Above 8

We had the pleasure of dining at Above 8, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience!

The food was absolutely delicious—we couldn’t fault a single dish. We enjoyed pan-fried barramundi, chicken supreme, and for dessert, the vanilla cheesecake with raspberry and raspberry sorbet, along with the indulgent Valrhona Delice. Every bite was beautifully presented and packed with flavor.

To complement our meal, we sipped on Little Goat Creek Sauvignon Blanc and Quilty Shiraz, both excellent choices that elevated our dining experience even further.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles, and the exceptional service continued throughout the night. The staff truly made our evening special.

If you're looking for a fantastic restaurant with amazing food, great wine, and outstanding service, Above 8 Rooftop Bar & Lounge is a must-visit! Highly recommended.

Came here for 4 others for a birthday dinner. We ordered the Sweet Potato Crisps, Prawn and Avocado Salad, Panfried Crispy Skin Barramundi, Prawn and Pesto Pizza, XO E Granchio Pizza and Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta.

The Sweet Potato Crisps were thin and crispy, seasoned well, and had a nice guacamole to accompany it. The Prawn and Avocado Salad was very nice; all the ingredients were very fresh and the yuzu dressing was a very nice touch. The crumbed fried prawns were cooked perfectly, and both the avocado and mango were at the perfect ripeness for the salad. The Panfried Crispy Skin Barramundi was perfectly cooked, and it had great seasoning, crispy skin, and was complimented well by the sauce vierge. The Prawn and Pesto Pizza was tasty, the prawns and pesto went very well together. However, the XO E Granchio Pizza was a little disappointing, the flavours didn't quite work for our group (especially the XO sauce), and the spanner crab seemed a little unfresh as it had a very fishy taste. On the other hand, the Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta was probably the group's favourite dish - crispy pork crackles, perfectly cooked pork belly and al dente pasta, all with an amazing creamy sauce bringing it together. The whole group had enough to eat and we were all very satisfied at the end of the meal.

The service was not too long. Additionally, our waiter, Anthony, was friendly, funny and helpful; offering suggestions on what to order, checking in with us throughout the meal, and assisting us with photos. The atmosphere was good; nice decorations, waterview (apart from the carpark next door) and because the restaurant was not too busy, it was not too noisy.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience, with high quality food, and service comparable to fine dining. We only paid ~$32pp. I definitely recommend the Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta if you visit. We will be back!

Went for a fundraiser and dinner. Food was good. Wine reasonable.
My only criticism is when you have special meals on a table try and serve the other guests at the same time that are sitting at that table. Otherwise the people with the special meals are waiting for the others to be served and their meals get cold! P.S. best steak I have had in a long time 😋.

The roast beef is soooo good!
Woodfire Pizza tastes authentic.
This restaurant is on the 9th floor, with a great view of the whole Hurstville suburb.
Staff are very friendly and helpful, besides no public holiday & weekend surcharge👍

Excellent customer service. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. Waffles were so incredibly hard that there was no soft centre. Nutella was advertised on the waffles. However, chocolate sauce was used instead. The toppings were warm and mushy.

As for the piece of avocado toast, that tasted of fish.

I would not recommend this restaurant. I gave an extra star because of the friendly waiter I had.

What a find in the middle of Hurstville. A nice, fresh and new, affordable place to dine and the menu and service are great. Perched on the 8th floor of the Travelodge Hotel behind what used to be Coles and Woolworths the views to the north west and the coast are wonderful. We've been twice and will definitely return.

We had lunch there during weekdays. The food was ok and the prices were reasonable. However, the menu was limited and mostly pizza and pasta. I didn't feel the place relaxing and the music was a bit loud with all the folding doors closed. Though they had coffee, there was no cakes to go with it.
