Guests rave about the delicious Mediterranean-inspired menu, highlighting dishes like octopus and lamb chops. The atmosphere is "sexy" and vibrant, though the noise level can be loud.

                                        The freno, octopus and steak frites paired with a signature G&T were delightful. However, it is difficult not to compare a HH at Októ to a HH at Doris. I am partial to the steak skewers at Doris. I booked a table outdoors as I had read about the noise level indoors. Alas at 7p the music was turned up to painful decibels and we were on the patio. It was ridiculously loud and left the evening on a down note.

                                        Overall, the food was good. My guest and I did expect more of a Mediterranean menu. We thought the menu was lacking. I ordered the Denver cut and thought it would have a side with it. My mistake was that it did not, and it was too late to order a side once I received the steak. The steak was tender and seasoned well. The bread as an appetizer was excellent.

                                        We could not hear each other, nor our dinner guests. Noise ricocheted from ceiling directly to us. We could hear the tables around us from the sides and above. We ended up finishing early so we could get outside and hear each other. Like most modern restaurants, investing in sound dampening fabrics and ceiling tiles would help immensely. Food is very good, decor is beautiful. Will not be coming back unless we can get a reservation on the patio.

                                        The octopus is probably the best in Houston, very tender! The seabass was prepared perfectly and complimented the risotto! Ambiance is a bit loud, if you prefer a quieter experience then sit in the bar or on the patio. Omar made our experience great and we will be back!

                                        It was my first time to Okto, and I will definitely return!The chraime dish with bronzino was divine and we shared several of the appetizers, which were all delicious. And to top it off, our server, Elonn was so friendly and helpful and attentive, and it was just the cherry on top to a an incredible meal!
