Is it your kind of place?

Go here if

  • You want a softer, grown-up Pepper Street lounge rather than a full restaurant room.
  • You like champagne, classic wines, cocktails, oysters, caviar, seasonal plates and smart snacks.
  • You are going before or after Chef's Table, Eastgate, the Rows or a city-centre date night.

Avoid if

  • You are expecting the original Twenty Eight small-plates restaurant exactly as it was.
  • You need daily lunch or Sunday certainty.
  • You are price-sensitive.

Book for evenings. The current public positioning is lounge-focused and open from 18:00 Wednesday-Saturday, so check the latest menu and hours before planning a meal.

In a paragraph

Twenty Eight is now a refurbished lounge inside Chef's Table on Pepper Street Row, offering champagne, cocktails, wines, oysters, caviar, seasonal small plates and lounge signatures.

What it's like

Twenty Eight needs a current read, because the name carries older restaurant expectations. The present version is a lounge inside Chef's Table on Pepper Street Row: softer lighting, champagne, cocktails, wines, oysters, caviar, snacks and seasonal plates.

Oysters, champagne, grown-up spend

That makes it more of a linger-over-good-things evening than a straightforward dinner booking. Food still matters, but the room is also about drinks, pacing and the Chef's Table orbit.

Worth knowing

Twenty Eight is interesting because it has changed. Treat it as the current lounge inside Chef's Table, not a frozen memory of the old small-plates restaurant. Book for the new brief and it makes far more sense.
