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.“

“Tonight was our 2nd time eating at Crudo and once again everything was amazing. We started with the crispy octopus which was flavorful and tender. It was recommended to us by the server and another couple we ended up talking to seated next to us, and it was truly a fantastic recommendation. My husband had the Wagyu steak which was better than any local steakhouse in the area and I had the Lobster Roll which was sweet, tender, and juicy. The service was impeccable and Crudo offers a quant, quiet atmosphere. If you haven’t been, you are missing out on the best restaurant Bluffton has to offer.“

“We stopped for a mid afternoon snack and beer and were so grateful we did! Azaria was our exceptional waitress, who was pleasant, sweet, answered questions, and gave recommendations. We had oysters and the crab/shrimp dip in the bread. My husband gets oysters whenever we visit a coastal area (we live on the coast in Delaware) and found the oysters from the May River to be the best he has had. The dip was perfect - thick, full of crab and shrimp, and not salty. We visit Bluffton every Spring and we will be back to Bluffton Family Seafood House! Also, we recommended this place to others already!“

“Our waitress Melissa was very kind and courteous! We also had Riley, Clair and Amy wait on us as well as Gavin bringing us our food! The tomato dill soup and the pasta New Orleans are my go-to when I come here! They are both sooo delicious and the bread is fresh served with an herb butter! Absolutely divine! They even have cute match books to take home with you! I love a good match book! The ambiance is great!!“

“Great food. Omg was it the best“

“We visited Hilton Head/Bluffton/Beaufort area for a few days from New York City and had a list of places to go. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to all but we did stop by Red Stripes and babyyyy, we were glad we did!! The food was absolutely delicious and totally unexpected. Jamaican cuisine is not something every one can do, native or not, but the owner and the chefs at the Bluffton location exactly what they’re doing. The food, drinks, and service was impeccable. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend!“

“Jameson's Charhouse Sun City, South Carolina did a wonderful Bridal Brunch we hosted today. Setting was lovely, food was fantastic and service could not have been better. Most important, the bride was thrilled! Thank you to Manager Ashley and server Nerissa for a memorable experience!“

“This was good! Got my go to the chicken & broccoli with white rice. It was good, I was happy to taste a bit of a garlic in it. The best part was the chicken and the rice. The veggies were mushy which people probably like I'm more of a crunchy raw person. They cheaped out of the free egg roll being a spring roll but I ate it anyway lol.“

“Great food! We loved the options so you could make your 'bag' just the way you like it.“
