  • Hate to downgrade my rating of Hotel Ocho, but alas... In a smart move to alleviate some of our wedding day priorities and pressures, we hived off the Chinese Tea Ceremony portion of the festivities and combined it with the rehearsal dinner the evening before. Smart, mom. Looking then for space to muck about, Hotel Ocho presented itself as the top choice. Owners Hamish and Louise are always a delight, and Ocho is a beautiful space. They provided us with a nice private area on the second floor that worked out wonderfully. Roomy seating for 20ish, space for the kids to run wild, and plenty of room for the ceremony itself. Staff were excellent in accommodating our Asian activities. Unfortunately the dinner was less than ideal. We were warned in the pre-planning stage that not ordering off the prix fixe menu would impact service. This is understandable, as pumping out varied meals for a table of 20 is a challenge on any day. However, the prix fixe menus they offered weren't particularly attractive, and I felt were too expensive for what you got. Unfortunately, ordering a la carte did indeed impact service as the food came out in dribs and drabs. We weren't in any huge rush, with plenty of friends and family and booze, but the food came out at a glacial, drawn out pace. It was embarrassing. I was served first by nature of where I was sitting, and easily finished my meal before others had even been served. Painful. Worse, the Seafood Capellini I received was just plain bad. I'm not a picky eater in any sense, so when I grouse about my food things are off: the pasta was room temperature and texturally unappealing; the calamari was undercooked, cold, and had a mushy interior; and overall nothing tasted great - it needed a fair bit of salt. If it weren't for the fact that it was taking donkey years for the food to come out, I would have sent it back (something I rarely consider). Were this review based on food alone, I'd have awarded perhaps two stars; really, the evening was redeemed by Ocho's great interior, and the freedom and flexibility of the space. Ocho will always be top of mind for parties where the menu consists of booze and snacks, but I'll think twice before considering Ocho for more serious dinner events. 16/30
