   Two of us shared the duck mousse, citrus radicchio salad and lamb. Everything was delicious! We look forward to returning to Octavia.

   we were a party of 4 and enjoyed the tasting menu, which consisted of 11 different dishes that were served over 4 courses and enjoyed family style. Every dish was excellent and tasty. We also had the wine pairing that went with the tasting menu. Also excellent and well matched with the food. The service was friendly and efficient. This is a top notch San Francisco restaurant and we look forward to to going back!

   Everything is great about Octavia - vibe, service and of course the food. Even sitting outside, they’ve made it so warm and cozy. Definitely recommend!

   I wanted to try this restaurant out since I moved across the street. So for my birthday I made 8:45 reservations. Our table was set, the place was half full we were excited. We ordered the full course meal at $85 per person. We asked if we could exchange the duck for another protein. Have you ever left a restaurant with the taste of the food still in your mouth. The seaweed spaghettis strong taste lasted until the next morning. I left most of it on my plate. The pork with a yellow purée seemed undercooked and the tortellini was beautiful but chewy. There were other dishes that lacked luster and overall the fishy nature of the meal was lackluster. I think of the emperor’s new clothes. The vanilla ice cream with kiwi was really good, and the service wasn’t half bad. Hopefully they change the menu often because who make seaweed spaghetti. Pass on this place for the $300 dollar tab, and the not so great aftertaste.

   We haven’t been to Octavia in a few years, but we’re very happy to find that the food was still outstanding.

    We went for Valentine’s Day. They had a pre fixe menu with wine pairings. Food was excellent, as were the wine pairings. We sat outside because that was the only seating available at the time of the reservation. However the outdoor seating was warm and well insulated so it was very pleasant. The service was also great. Loved and would highly recommend!
