Excellent food and service. Cozy casual atmosphere. We had a variety of small and large plates which we shared. Only minus were the oysters - came late, differed in size from really small to medium. Good taste but uneven appearance. Maybe it was because it was the day after Christmas.

We had a table of 6. Goat cheese tart was excellent, smothered burrito was good, crab cake eggs benedict were bad (eggs were border line hard boiled, crab cake lacked flavor and was burnt on the bottom. Service was poor and they automatically tacked on a 20% tip which we would not have paid. Will not go back.

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
