For our first time at Októ, we had a great time. Our server, Eelon, was jovial and knowledgeable about the menu and the components of our meal. Every dish had several components that added its unique flavors. It was a great choice for our Christmas Eve dinner.

First, the physical space is gorgeous. Service on Christmas Eve was attentive, and the drinks were great. (Please add a sparkling rosé!) The meal was delicious. We're looking forward to coming back soon.

Came to Okto as we are big fans of Doris Metropolitan and we were intrigued by menu and location. We love Doris’ food and amazing service and were looking forward to another great dining experiece. We were a group of 6 on a business Dinner. The dining room is nice and presentation looks great. Food was delicious and did not disappoint. The drinks were meh, with G&T’s watery and disappointing. The biggest problem however was the service. While the restaurant was mostly empty on a Monday evening , the service was slow and unimpressive. It took 10 minutes after being seated for our waiter to come offer us a drink. It then took 15 extra minutes or more to be able to order food/appys. It got a bit better at the end but still left much to be desired. The food is pretty much up to par with Doris Metropolitan, with my colleagues from NYC really happy about discovering another restaurant by the same ownership group. The service however is as unimpressive as it is at Hamsa. Overall had a good experience but i would be concerned about dining there on a busy weekend night.

Food was great but music was too loud. This new trend of not being able to order a few appetizers first before main courses is annoying considering the price we’re paying.
