   The service is fantastic and I love the people. I think the food was very good but I didn’t understand the pallet. Overall very happy though because the service was so amazing!

   Had a great meal at Octavia. Food and service were great. Seated very close to the people next to us so we felt a little cramped and it was pretty loud, but overall nice time.

   We have been meaning to come here for awhile, so had the opportunity right before the holidays and enjoyed an amazing meal. We did the tasting menu for 2 of us (friend's dinner) and was not disappointed. Almost everything that came out was delightful with a couple of personal preferences that we didn't care for as much but still tasty. The desserts were amazing. The chocolate pavlova and the kiwi jelly is something that i'll remember and go back for again if they still have it.

   A perfect experience prior to a fantastic show at the Orpheum. We appreciated the chats with an incredibly knowledgeable and inquisitive team as well as the perfectly crafted dishes. Mille Grazie!

   We ate at this restaurant a few years ago and it was very good. This last time was a different experience. I ordered pasta which came by itself in a small cereal size bowl. My husband ordered sole. He received two dollar size pieces of fish on a piece of lettuce for $38. The waiter should have told us that the portions were very small and that we should consider ordering more food. Since it was my birthday, I received an "extra" dessert which consisted of 2 small chocolate chip cookies that tasted store bought. We did order other desserts which were good, but all in all we walked away hungry and disappointed. Additionally, the restaurant is very small and the noise level makes it very difficult to hear your own conversation. We would not go back to this restaurant.

   The waiter was nice. It takes more than an hour to get a dish. Kale salad was too salty to eat. Pasta was very very small portion. We had a salad, pasta, rockfish, pork dishes. In all, nothing tasted well to us. I never understand why it gets such a good rating. I do not think it is worthwhile to go dine.

   The food was too salty in general, which is not the same case when I first dined there. The restaurant sent us a complimentary dessert as their apology, which is nice. But really need to work on the seasoning.

    Food was very good but steak dish was very small and we were still hungry after $350 meal with wine. Seems like portion was 3-4 oz instead of a standard 6 oz portion we are used to for the price.
