Company description
Calle Ocho is an Upper West Side mainstay serving up distinguished, exciting Latin fare and is known for its creative, bold use of flavors, unique cocktail list and bustling atmosphere. Executive Founding Chefs Rodney Mitchell and Alex Garcia formed a menu that recreates Little Havana with a New York City flair including flavor packed ceviches and tapas, savory steaks and a vast selection of seafood dishes to suit an array of palates. Calle Ocho has brought downtown dining and style to the Upper West Side. Calle Ocho's menu is influenced by a spectrum of Latin cuisines, including Cuban, Peruvian, Dominican, Spanish, Venezuelan and Costa Rican. Calle Ocho offers five varieties of ceviche, including lobster with passion-chili mojo, a new addition to the menu. Calle Ocho also boasts a very popular weekend brunch, which features eight unique varieties of complimentary red and white sangria. Calle Ocho has truly brought downtown dining and style to the Upper West Side.
