    Nice and warm on a chilly evening! Ambiance, delicious and original food made it extra nice! Highly recommend for a nice slow evening. Even though we were catching a show, we had time to enjoy. Our waiter made sure to move things along so we could enjoy our experience without being too rushed, but get out on time!

    Always a great dining experience with well executed dishes and great service. Music is a bit loud, even the teenager with us commented on it! Octapas is consistently good for brunch, lunch and dinner. Healthy options as well!

    The ambience of the restaurant is warm and inviting. The distance between tables is perfect for having private conversations. The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in until we said goodbye. The waitperson was personable, yet professional, and very knowledgeable and ready to answer questions and make suggestions. The food was phenomenal. I highly recommend the fresh anchovies in garlic and olive oil with bread. AMAZING!! We ordered lots of food and were pleasantly surprised when the check was much smaller than expected. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We had a great time! Food and drinks were delicious. Service was patient and attentive. We sat in their patio section and was surprised that there were no heat lamps. Bring an extra coat or sweater if you run cold.
