8Eleven is our favorite restaurant in West Lafayette but more importantly matches up to any great restaurant back home!. The food is exquisite, with great variety & nice wine list. It is matched by its professional service--we had Aiden twice for dinner and he was fabulous--very attentive & professional. The front of the house staff was also great--they accommodated changes to our party size expeditiously and with a very friendly attitude at all times. Highly recommend it to all staying in town.

We celebrated Purdue graduation here with our son, and it was start to finish a flawless, perfect experience, in a beautiful place with wonderful food, with the chefs kiss being Mitchel, our server. Hilarious and fun and attentive, and a great photographer to boot! Thanks for treating us so well, Mitchel! You made graduation feel extra great!

This place was absolutely stunning. Katie was our waitress and she was wonderful. My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner. This restaurant had good reviews, so I wanted to experience myself. They had a candle lit on the dinner table and also the napkins were folded into roses for the occasion. The restaurant even provided a toast of champagne after dinner on the house. I could not be anymore pleased with our experience and the food was superbly magnificent.

I had the steak tartare and creamy spinach for dinner and they’re so impressive among my fine dining in the U.S.! Also Ana gave us a great inspiration for the menu! We feel here’s the best restaurant at Purdue!

We have the 4 course, Valentine meal special. And it was AMAZING. The waitress was really really nice to us and informative. Also our reservations were on time and we didn't have to wait. Honestly, it was one of the greatest meal experiences i've ever had. Thank you.

I could give 7 out of 5 stars if I could! As a current culinary student, they told the staff about it. I saw the back of house, and during the meal Head Chef came by to give us a little talk (great guy btw). Not to mention, the food was dynamite on all levels!
