The food was great service was excellent the restaurant is beautiful and staff were very friendly!
Service was excellent! Food was excellent! Looking forward to our next dinner at The Octagon.
Dinner was extremely delicious and the portions were generous. Our server was most attentive, courteous and allowed extra time between our appetizers and entrees. Our other server who brought us our relish tray and garlic bread was most attentive and supplied us with additional pickles and garlic bread. He was very friendly and was engaging in conversation. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted very warmly by a male host to our table. Will return!
Food was OK not amazing for the value and the service was OK, got the sense we were not wanted in the restaurant...one of our party was wearing a t-shirt and we got a lot of uncomfortable glances. Was a good one time experience for a business meal and would suggest for anyone to at least try it once but would most likely not go again.
If you’re looking to unwind at a stunning restaurant with exceptional service, a charming vintage-inspired interior, and delicious food — I highly recommend visiting The Octagon. The service is outstanding, the atmosphere is warm and elegant, and most importantly, the experience leaves you with a wonderful aftertaste — both literally and emotionally. It’s one of those places you find yourself wanting to come back to again and again.

We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The food was delicious as always and the service was exceptional.
We've been patronizing this restaurant for many years, and the service and food are consistently outstanding.

An establishment of the community. A must visit due to its history. Parking lot is large but during the holidays its tough to find a spot, so we just parked in the Farmer's Market lot. Very convenient.
Ambience is perfect; well lit but not bright, beautiful wood interior, comfortable seats at our table and of course, the encapsulating octaganol shape surrounds your evening.
They must renforce their attire policy. Wearing track pants and a hoodie to an establishment like this cannot be tolerated. Truly a micro sign of a macro problem we see in society today; loss of class and standards. If the restaurant requires you to use cutlery, make a reservation, offers wine, or has waiters in suits, you should at a minimum have a collar on your shirt.
Service was as expected; timely, professional, accomodating and knowledgeable. Great wine list. Sipped on a Rhone. Starters & appetizers were conventional, and I would say the same for their main offerings. However, they were prepared and presented nicely. Nothing new here. It feels like they've been providing the same experience for 50 years and this is not a bad thing. Sometimes, that's what you want. Consistency and reliability; especially from a steak house. That is what keeps people coming back.
Ordered steak & lobster; both cooked to perfection as requested. If you are looking for a new spin on steakhouses to post on Instagram, this is not it. If you are looking for a meal with dignity & class at a reasonable price, you'll be satisfied, just leave the hoodies at home. No funny business. Just good service, good food, and good people. 4.0 stars

What a wonderful experience I had my birthday here with my girlfriend and all the staff were extremely kind and sweet and professional. We had Eisan also helping out at our table and he was a pleasure. What a nice sweet man. Food was spectacular also… obviously!! What a great way to spend my birthday. If you guys ever want a meal on me come to my food truck it’s called “RJs Roadhouse” on Instagram and google! Octagon feels like family!

An absolute pleasure of a dining experience. Takes me back years to when a restaurant actually wanted customers to feel welcome, comfortable and happy with their choice in fine dining. With close attention to detail and table service that is second to none. The Octagon will leaving you feel satisfied beyond your expectations when it comes to food and drink. Their skilled staff in professional attire and experts in hospitality will look after everything from start to finish. Thank you for making this a birthday celebration that will never be forgotten.

Service and quality is at their very best. Shrimp cocktail is massive and shareable, the table side Caesar is always a must. The seafood is great I’m not meat person and yes it’s a steakhouse but the seafood is out of this world.
Overall the food was decent, but doesn’t feel high end. Steaks were cooked very well and good cuts of meat. Potatoes were forgettable, but not bad, just something you’d expect at IKEA’s cafeteria more. Dessert was alright, nothing special. For what it is, definitely over priced on that end of the meal. Presentation is nonexistent and the food looks like it’s from a diner. The space is very nice, almost church like with the stain glass and ornate wooden decor. The service is not good, I’d say even rude. The host seating us basically nodded towards us and jogged away, I didn’t even realize he was seating us and he walked off so fast. He basically slammed the menus down and shrugged “here’s your table” and walked off abruptly. It was awkward and weird. Main waiter was in a terrible mood, seemed like he didn’t want to be there. Felt like he was annoyed and just miserable being there. Other waiters who dropped off the beer and such were better, but interacted only briefly with them. Overall, felt unwelcome to be honest.
