Me and my sis came for a little girls night and catch up and when I say from the door we were tested exceptionally! The hostesses were so sweet. Our bartender/server (I can’t remember his name although he told us several times, I do know it means Welcome in French.) Welcomed is exactly how he made us feel! His outstanding service, friendly demeanor, and excellent drinks, made the amazing food even better! We will definitely be back! We even met a host from their sister restaurant who was great too! I can’t say enough great things about the service, food, and atmosphere!! 10/10!!!!!❤️

I was warmly welcomed by our bartender/server, Bienveue, whose hospitality immediately set the tone for the evening. The atmosphere was beautiful and very calm. I sat at the bar with my friend and noticed so many lovely people around us.
Before visiting, I had read some reviews mentioning concerns about racism, but I personally did not experience that at all. To be fair, I was seated at the bar where the managers were constantly checking in. Bienveue was immaculate, attentive, and professional, and the people around us were very kind, which made the experience even better.
I did notice the crowd seemed to be of a certain caliber, which may influence others’ experiences, but from my personal visit, I felt welcomed and comfortable.

I loved most of what I ordered. I would order the following again: the Denver cut, the octopus, and the Greek salad. Our server was friendly and nice. I liked that Októ had complimentary parking. The portions were good, but the dishes are still on the pricier side.

I really enjoyed dining at Okto. This was my second visit, and it absolutely did not disappoint. I prefer sitting at the bar, and the service there was just as excellent as at the tables. The staff was easygoing, never pushy, genuinely knowledgeable about the menu, and made me feel truly welcome. It felt less like going to a restaurant and more like catching up with old friends. I love the atmosphere here. It’s perfectly dim for that cozy evening vibe, yet still lively and socially engaging for a night out. As for the food, presentation is unmatched. Every dish is clean, artistic, and of course, delicious. I ordered a few Valentine’s-themed non-alcoholic drinks, and honestly, you would never guess they were mocktails. They looked straight out of a food magazine and weren’t overly sweet, just beautifully balanced and very pleasant to drink. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly. I especially appreciated that they brought the house-made reduction separately and asked on the spot whether I preferred the steak soaked in the sauce or served with it on the side. It’s thoughtful details like that that truly stand out. The only thing that wasn’t my favorite was the rose dessert—the floral note in the mousse was a bit strong for my taste, but that’s purely personal since I’m not typically a fan of flower-infused desserts. Overall, I’m very happy this place exists and will definitely be coming back.

This was my second visit to Okto, and once again it was an excellent experience. The food, atmosphere, and service are all outstanding. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were very well made.
Highly recommend the octopus, shrimp, branzino, and lamb — everything we tried was amazing. Definitely coming back
The aesthetics and ambiance were great. We loved the grilled octopus and lamb chops! The pistachio dessert was delicious and not too sweet. The cocktails were average. I’ll definitely come back to try their happy hour.
