Octagon is an absolute standout when it comes to dining in the Bluffton area. Every visit is a treat—the food is creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the menu offers something special for every taste.
The atmosphere at Octagon is hard to beat, with elegant indoor dining and a beautiful setting that’s perfect for any occasion. The staff is always attentive and makes you feel like a valued guest from start to finish.
It’s the kind of place where every detail is considered, from the fresh ingredients to the thoughtful service. If you’re looking for an elevated dining experience in a stunning Lowcountry setting, Octagon never disappoints.

Thank you to Gary for our stellar service, I know you said you'd be fine without a review, too bad. I hope everyone remembers and appreciates the good people who prepare and serve food and the passion they bring to every plate.

I visited this restaurant last month and Michael was my waiter. I believe he told me it was his first or second night on the floor and before that, he was a bartender. I told him that he found is niche on the floor. He was very pleasant, personable, and had a great sense of humor. He also recommended a really delicious dish for dinner and dessert. Overall great experience.

Absolutely love Octagon! Our server, Fred, was very impressive with his friendly demeanor, attentive service and, overall professionalism. The restaurant has a great vibe and it should be noticed that people were dressed in accordance with the style of restaurant that this is. It’s worth mentioning that a set of parents let their two young sons run amuck and act incredibly inappropriate. I was very happy to see a server instruct those little brats to go sit with their parents! Great job!
The shrimp and grits were low country perfect. Seasoned well and plentiful. Visually attractive and well received. The bison strip with peppercorn sauce was a tad dry due to being sliced a bit early. It was disappointing to pay $50 and receive only 2 slices of the strip. The expectation was an entire strip. Now I know for future ordering. It did leave room for banana pudding which is my favorite. It didn’t disappoint! We will return!

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner here! Exceptional food & service. Can't wait to return!
This restaurant was definitely not worth the price. I made a reservation for Christmas Day, expecting there to be a special Christmas menu, but there wasn’t. There was no attempt at formality inside the restaurant, either, so we, along with most other restaurant patrons there at the time, were very dressed up for a casual place (e.g. no tablecloths)
The prices themselves were, as expected, exorbitant - because this is the Montage where prices are unreal. However, our service was abysmal. The waiter had a real problem with the English language, had no knowledge of the menu, or how anything was prepared. When it came time to pay the bill, he could not cope apparently with using both a credit card and a hotel credit (in the form of a computerized barcode on my phone). It took a full half hour for the waiter to get the bar code read, disappearing with my phone (where I showed him the code) twice.
The food was good but not extraordinary, so the $32 seafood Cobb salad, $29 (overcooked) burger, $23 Buddha bowl, $52 for a dozen oysters, $22 + per cocktail…. All of it, including the terrible service and underwhelming venue, left us feeling ripped off and angry.
We will not return (and we live locally).

Great option for convenient and delicious meals while staying at the Montage Palmetto Bluff or anywhere in the surrounding villages. Breakfast is very creative, dinner has one of the best Torro cuts of sashimi tuna anywhere.
Kid-friendliness: The food options include many dishes appealing to children. My daughter has loved this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 8 years old to 13 years old so far.

We had a great experience at both the Octagon bar and the restaurant on several occasions throughout our stay. The drinks were excellent at the bar and bartenders very friendly and efficient.
As far as dinner, we had a party of 4 and all really enjoyed all of our meals.
We ordered several of the sushi rolls including the surf and turf as well as the "Bison NY strip & truffle fries" and shared it between my fiance and I. They were all delicious!
