    Great place! The food was top notch; we had the onion soup w/gruyere croutons, the squid's ink bomba rice with seafood, and the salmon. The food was everything a one-star place should be - beautiful, well seasoned, creative, and well presented. Service was truly exceptional- very professional but also warm and personal. We will definitely return.

    Okto is a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking for an unforgettable dining experience. From start to finish, every aspect of our meal was exceptional. The drinks struck the perfect balance between tradition and creativity, offering a delightful twist on classic flavors. We started with the Greek salad and octopus appetizer—both fresh and perfectly executed. For our main courses, the filet mignon with foie gras and the tiger shrimp were nothing short of spectacular. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. With friends visiting next month, we already have plans to return. Okto has truly earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants!
