Ocho At Hotel Havana

This place is vintage, and with its dark academic style, it's so cool. It's right off the River Walk, and the dim lights cast a nostalgic atmosphere. The bar is downstairs, and its "old school basement party dark," red lights and all. I dig it! The bartender in the basement makes a mean mojito. The food is very good. The bathrooms are outside in a building next to the restaurant, and maybe the kitchen. They do have a parking lot. If you're in a wheelchair, call ahead to make sure they can accommodate you safely. Make a reservation. I will eat here again. My pictures aren't the best due to the lighting and too many mojitos.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Beautiful location, perfect for date night. Our server made awesome drink recommendations (mojito called ocho & thyme will tale) and our meal was a delicious combination of flavors (Pollo en Tamarindo with a side of maduros). It's slightly on the pricier side but well worth it 👌

Fantastic cuban cuisine overlooking the Riverwalk. Best mussels I've had in San Antonio...adeptly cooked in a beer lime broth containing chorizo. The pistachio crusted Snapper served in a chipotle honey sauce was excellent with a topping of grilled shrimp and fresh avocado. The Maduros (plantains) come with a creamy lime pomegranate sauce and isn't labeled as a dessert, but proved to hit that end of the meal sweet spot perfectly.

What a lovely setting! Many tables over look the river … almost transporting you out of the city. The food was wonderful. I enjoyed the pork shank - as tender as can be and flavorful. The steak was good, but it was a tad over cooked and could have been seasoned a little more. The side vegetables were lovely!
