   One of our favorite restaurants in the City . Never disappoints. We love their fresh bread and vegetables! We had the duck breast and black cod and both were excellent! Sticky toffee pudding and pavlova capped off a wonderful meal! Highly recommend!

   The food and service were great, the staff was very friendly and attentive. The tasting menu was very good, however, the portion sizes were a little too large so it was very filling. The dishes I had didn't feel like they had much harmony between them, all very good individually, but it felt a little disjointed as a tasting menu. All in all, I definitely found a few dishes I'd be inclined to go back for and would recommend giving Octavia a try.

   Very good food. Friendly and helpful service. Wine list is pricey but there are hidden gems.

   We have been to Octavia many times, but this time we were very disappointed. The noise level was extraordinary. The service was fine, except for an inordinate wait between appetizer and main course.  The tables were so close. It was like we were a foursome with the table beside us. There were only three choices for main course and two choices for dessert. Octavia is off our list.

   With the passing of several of our favorite places near the civic center, we branched out to some slightly more distant restaurants. We tried Octavia on a friends recommendation: it’s a knockout! It doesn’t have the pretension of a Michelin starred restaurant, but it has all the flavor. The space is lovely, the staff is warm and friendly, but food…. So delicious!
