When I got there, I asked to sit at a booth. I was told “there are too many reservations for larger parties for a 2 top to take a booth”… however within about 10 minutes about half of the booths were sat with 2 tops. Towards the end of our dinner we started being really rushed. I asked our waiter “do you need this table… Do we need to leave” His response was “no I don’t need the table I’m fine” so we thought we could stay there and enjoy your remaining drink. Next thing we know the manager asked … “Can y’all go ahead and go or move and I’ll give you some Prosecco but we have a 14 top coming”…mind you this was maybe 5 minutes after I asked the waiter what was going on… We refused the Prosecco moved to the bar to pay and left… No apology. It was really bizarre.

Great dining experience. We love OKTO; we ordered the squid ink pasta and hamachi. The desserts & bubbles for the birthday celebration was spectacular. Such a lovely place; I will be back. Thank you

The whole restaurant is wonderful: food, service, decor, wine, patio. It’s a little pricey, but delicious :) The frena (bread) and green salad are a must. The green salad is a mixture of lettuce, lots of herbs, roasted mushrooms and peppers, one of the most unique salads I’ve ever had! The steak frites is yummy too. All three are on their happy hour menu!
