Twenty 8 Food & Spirits is an upscale restaurant & bar featuring regional, sustainable American cuisine with a modern flair that utilizes an exhibition style stone hearth oven to create flatbreads, appetizers and light entrees.
"This restaurant is located in the open lobby of the hotel there. It has no ambience at all. Service was very poor. We sat at the bar that had 3 bartenders behind it and they all walked past us several times before approaching. Only 1 was the least bit friendly, and the others made us feel as though we were an inconvenience to them. The food was not very good, with the exception of the chicken quesadilla, which was awesome."

"The restaurant did not have my Open Table Reservation on a very busy Saturday, but management flew into action and put a table together ASAP for me. Kudos to Victor! He was awesome."

"We were not impressed with this meal/restaurant. The first course salads were the high point of the meal. All else was bland. The wines were fine/good not outstanding. Plated servings were generous, wine was a little stingy and overpriced. Overall, not a great value, but not exorbitant. We would not dine there again"

"Attractive setting but rather loud. Staff were very friendly but very, very slow. I enjoyed my meal overall but it had some quirks. A chicken quesadilla was generous in size and had a nice peppery zing but the chicken itself had that odd spongy texture you get from precooked chicken and the salsa that came with it was serviceable but tasted like it came from a jar. Pan seared scallops were nicely done but the risotto it came with seemed more gummy than creamy. My wife did enjoy the presentation of her swordfish but the fish itself was a bit dry. This is not a restaurant that I would says stay away from but it lags behind the quality of a number of other restaurants at Patriot Place."

"This was our third time at 28. We have been for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Decent hotel restaurant. Pro's: adjacent to Patriot Place so you can shop or head to a game easily and eat somewhat away from crowds, never a wait. Service is fair (by accident we triple tipped our waitress, but not because she was that attentive). Food is good albeit small portions. Presented nicely, prepared as you like. Cons: it's inside hotel, so atmosphere is not intimate but more of an open space in which people waiting or wandering can come and go as they please luggage and all. Menu is limited. Their 28 pizza that was recommended was very good. It's an ok choice in that shopping area."

"I was very happy with the broccoli ale soup appetizer and the bacon wrapped beef loin as the entree, but my wife's meal was on the bland side. A little too pricey in my opinion."

"I like the atmosphere and setting. HOWEVER the prices are outrageous--- $ 19 for a glass of cakebread wine ???? I had Korean Porkchop that was excellent, but at $ 30.00 ??? Food, service and atmosphere is worth going back, BUT the prices, I need to rob a brinks truck to be able to afford the dinner ! I WOULD NOT GO BACK !"

"First time at 28. We happened to be at the hotel and decided to try it out. Small menu and our group orders a variety of apps, entrees and flatbreads. Presentation was nice, service was adequate, and good was good, although nothing out of the ordinary. I suggest sticking with the flatbread pizzas as they got that down. The wedge salad was drenched, so I requested more lettuce to mix, but they were very gracious and brought me a new one. The corn chowder was delicious and serve piping hot. Crab cakes were a bit fishy though. Overall, decent place to grab a drink and a small bite if you happen to be at the hotel. Not a destination restaurant. ."
