Fantastic dinner. I love the emphasis on small plates which gave my girlfriend and I the chance to try several amazing dishes. The cocktails were all top notch as well being both creative and refined. Great experience overall.

I loved the staff and food, which were phenomenal. However, I wished the music was a bit quieter so I could talk over the table with guests. We could not hear each other or the waiter. The bread/Frena is a must-have. It's not just bread. It's amazing with the pistachio butter and all the other accouterments. The octopus is also a must-have but the butternut squash is beyond amazing. It's completely ala carte, so it will cost you for a complete meal. I have 2 critiques. The wine is so expensive. A glass of wine is the price of a bottle. I wish they had more affordable wine. The cocktails were cheaper than a glass of wine and the martinis are served in sherry glasses which are small. One last thing that is an issue for me is the cutlery. It's so thin and cheap. If I am going to order a 60-dollar steak, I want heavy cutlery with longer tines. The devil is in the details. P.S. the server ELON is the best!!

For our first time at Októ, we had a great time. Our server, Eelon, was jovial and knowledgeable about the menu and the components of our meal. Every dish had several components that added its unique flavors. It was a great choice for our Christmas Eve dinner.

First, the physical space is gorgeous. Service on Christmas Eve was attentive, and the drinks were great. (Please add a sparkling rosé!) The meal was delicious. We're looking forward to coming back soon.
