We were there with a family group of 10 and the tastes of everyone was able to be met. Very impressed with being able to see our food being cooked as we waited. Only criticism was that some food stations such as the seafood didn't have enough variety to have a seafood plate and had to mix to many good... More

Disorganised, cluttered, crowded, even at dinner screaming kids crawling on the floor. Poor value for money at $80 pp for a buffet. Choice wide, so quality not achieved. Hot food on cold plates. Overall very poor for a supposedly 5 star.

Last year we visited Eight for breakfast and loved it. Not sure what has changed, but today's visit was really disappointing. It was mothers's day and as we wanted to have a special breakfast we decide to pay the $70. 00 per head. I have never Written a scathing review for any restaurant but the price for what we received... More

Elegant and oh, so special. Get dressed up for this and make an afternoon of it. High Tea has never been so satisfying. No dinner necessary after this feast.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Eight at the Langham in 2012. We tried eight different cuisines and they were amazing. The service was just brilliant. We would love to go back again!

My wife and I dined at Eight last night. We ordered off the a la carte menu and the food was fine, without being of a fine dining calibre. We could have also dined at quite an innovative buffet where they cook various dishes individually on request. It is obviously a successful concept the the restaurant was very busy. But... More

We had both dinner and breakfast buffets at 8. The chefs and wait staff provided first class service. The food was fresh and beautifully cooked. Must go when in Auckland.

I love eating at Eight. My favourite part is being able to choose from so many interactive kitchens as well as having the food cooked to my taste. I could spend hours and hours eating. I always manage to try lots of new foods as well as enjoying favourites. The staff were all friendly, except for the Indian Food station... More
