Edit 2: "You had began to sit yourself, and had not waited at the host station". I appreciate that the restaurant owner feels strongly about defending their position, but this simply is not accurate. We waited at the entrance and did not sit until we were greeted by our waitress, as I expect any person would do. We were seated before any discussion of food options or menus had taken place.

My opinion as a patron and regular reviewer remains that this would be an excellent dining choice for those customers who are able to book in advance.

Edit: Based on the company's response, I've increased my rating for service. Our server was indeed very pleasant! However, we were fully seated at the table of our choice near the comfortable fireplace and looking at the listed specials and smelling the delicious food other patrons had before we were informed that we could only order from the soup and sandwich menu, not before. As I said, this was a disappointment. I'm sure the restaurant's response about the number of sandwiches is correct. My wife initially inquired about the macaroni and cheese, which was on the reduced menu we were offered, but then found out that wasn't an option. That's probably where I made my mistake on the number of menu items. I'll conclude by suggesting that Ocho would be a lovely dining experience for those offered a full menu. If that menu is only offered to guests who booked in advance, that is useful information for anyone reading this review.

When we arrived, we were informed another table just ordered full meals so all we were allowed to order was one of three sandwiches or soup. That's quite a disappointment, as I'm sure you'll agree, especially on the first day of our anniversary vacation in Scotland. The waitress told us their food is great and added, "sorry, that is a shame." On the positive side, the sandwiches were pretty good.
