    We had great service all night, the waiter patiently answered all our questions about the dishes. Food was amazing, the hamachi crudo and hamachi risotto are delicious.

    We enjoyed the food and wine at Okto so much. We had a bread dish with olives, pastachio butter, and red peppers to start with. Then we had a Greek salad, then grilled octopus, then lamb chops, and a wonderful cheesecake for dessert. All of the food was delicious, and the waitstaff were all very knowledgable, and very helpful in helping us pick which didhes to order. The restaurant is also beautiful inside.

    Although it was stated in our reservation that we were celebrating something, it was completely overlooked.

    One of my favorite dining experiences in Houston! Service was great, everything was timed perfectly. Food was fabulous. Highly recommend the octopus, hamachi crudo, filet, and Denver cut steak. Desserts were also delicious and inventive. Not a single thing we didn’t love! Can’t wait to return soon!

    The pasta wasn’t great but they recovered and that’s why they get 5 stars.

    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!
