This is nice place with outdoor sitting in the backyard and front of the restaurant. The bathroom are clean and the table where too. I remember hand sanitizer is available. The spacing was good between the tables. This was my first time going out since the pandemic and it was a good experience. The menu is digital. The food options limited because if you are vegan or plant based to bad. I was not happy with the menu because I felt it should have a plant based option. Anyway the drinks are great and the options wonderful. The price was pretty good and with hour and half bottomless drinks it makes for a great with friends. I just wished the place had more food option for plant based eaters the menu gets 2 and half stars. Not a bad place.
Came here for brunch. The complimentary starter was a sweet addition to our meal. They offer many options for complimentary sangria. I especially enjoyed Granada. It’s a steal if you love sangria✨ The speed of serving is spectacular as well.

My husband chose this place for his birthday brunch celebration with our friends last Saturday. We were lured in by the promise of delicious food, a garden spot at the back and gasp, unlimited sangrias of every flavor you can imagine.
We were given a great table exactly at 1PM last Saturday and were able to get seated at their lovely garden area at the back so that was a good start. Really spacious and good vibe. Waiter attending to us was nice and cheerful though he really only started taking our orders and drinks 15-20 mins after. That's not really an issue in a normal scenario except your table is restricted to only 90 mins, so a little something to plan your activity or celebration around with.
Most of us ordered Ropa Vieja and it was so tender and delicious. Everyone ordered various Sangrias but I did stick to Fresa/s which was vodka based, it was alright. I managed to drink a glass and a half of it, time went by pretty quick and before we knew it, we were being asked to pay (30 mins before the 90 mins was up) and leave.
We liked it there but we didn't enjoy the feeling of being rushed. Overall still a good spot, just keep the strict time element in mind.. :)
Beautiful spot, and great food. Nothing exuberant though, for it to sit in the midst of such elegance and on the ground floor a beautiful hotel in the upper west side–I was expecting a classy experience. What I received was, yet again, a rushed outcome. It’s almost like they don’t care for servicing the client but reusing your table for another client. Overall, I would go for brunch food and some drinks, but nothing more.

Came for a happy hour on a weekday. I arrived early to avoid the crowds. The restaurant was pretty much empty at 4:30 pm except for one other party. Upon checkin I was asked for my ID and vaccination card. The restaurant gave us three cheese balls withe a black bean sauce to get started. It was a nice touch, but I think I prefer my cheese balls a little chewier and cheesier than what I had. For drinks, I got the caipirinha. I thought the drink was sufficiently strong and also had a good dose of freshly squeezed lime juice. The for the empanadas I got the ropa vieja, unfortunately they couldn't do one flavor of each. The crust of the empanada was handmade but the beef was probably the star of the show, it was soft, flavorful and paired really well with the guac sauce that came with it. The chimichurri fries were one of my favorite bites, the fries were fried to crispy perfection and the chimichurri sauce gave an extra kick to what seems like a pretty normal looking fry. The pork sliders were ok, I probably wouldn't order them again. The bun to meat ratio was a little off, it felt like I was mostly eating a cold bun. I have to say though, that the pork in the slider was pretty well cooked, it was on the drier crispier side which is something that I prefer. Lastly, the esquites was good, it was a generous portion that was served and not super watered down. Overall, good experience, friendly staff. Food was good but not anything over the top.
Great food. Excellent waiter service. The waiters constantly bring water refills and take away used dishes and pick up food scraps. Very impressed. Even recommended a better appetizer for the family. The food is on the expensive side. About $30 per main course. However, it’s big enough to share two people. Free appetizer if you used to check in on yelp.
This is a great restaurant! Great ambiance, atmosphere and very popular. They have two outdoor areas (didn't know about the 2nd). The food was amazing and the sangrias were delicious! Definitely will come back within the next few weeks!!
Visited for brunch. Make sure you reserve well in advance. Probably months. The food is amazing with large portions. The unlimited sangrias are totally worth it. Make sure you try all of them. And they do pack a lunch so careful if you are a light drinker. The service is good too. Keep room for food and drinks before you visit this place.
The have a beautiful garden in the back. I enjoyed my breakfast. The muffins are delicious. I honestly could not tell the difference of all the white sangrias. They have different options but they all tasted the same to me. The red sangria was a bit sour for my liking. The dessert sampler was so good especially the churros. I personally love the decor and ambiance. The waitstaff was really nice and accommodating. A really cool place to go with friends.
I enjoyed this restaurant. The service was excellent. Our waiters were pleasant and attentive. The food was pretty good and beautifully presented. I had the Camarones, Vaca Frita and Domino Cake. I enjoyed all three dishes. The shrimp for the camarones was cooked very well. The domino cake is made from dark chocolate and was very tasty. I also had a mojito, which was great. I received all items fairly quickly, something I, of course, loved Only knock might be the food is a little pricey. But I didn’t mind because of the great experience I had.
The free bottomless sangria was really the star of the show. There were so many options.
I really enjoyed the complementary starter (I have a sweet tooth😋). The food is very plentiful but I wish it had a bit more flavor. Overall 8/10

Outdoor seating was spaced out and very pretty. Staff was attentive and polite. Food and drinks were delicious. We did the 3 course meal with unlimited Sangria for 1.5 hr
Haven’t been here in over a year and when they were located near the museum of natural history. But I’m glad we made the drive out for dinner tonight. Reminded me of how yummy the food is. Ordered the ribs and ropa vieja. Delicious. The warmed up pan de bono is amazing too.
Oh they also don’t have physical menus. So they have you scan a QR code and it takes you to the online menu. Additionally, you can do the same to pay your check once you get it.
I got to Calle Ocho at its new location on Broadway. I spoke with Francine, the owner, and she is excited with the new location. The staff and old customers were happy to back together. The menu is the same which is great. I was told that there is an outdoor space in the back yard. I look forward to seeing it.
Delicious!!! Came here without a reservation on a Sunday at 6pm with my husband and mother for a nice, quiet dinner. Delicious sangrias and main dishes!! Will definitely recommend and will come again!!
Place is located inside a hotel went here for restaurant week lots of sangria options no happy hour tasty food get the bread it’s so fluffy and the right hint of sweet so tasty even though the brown paste it comes with is scary looking its still good. Great service and large venue. Right across from the museum near the b and c train and Central Park
This was a nice restaurant to go to. They have a back yard so you don't have to be eating your food in the street while vehicle's pass by. That was a plus. The food was real good. We had 2 types of sangria which both was good. We will be coming back.
