Sone of best food I have had in Houston with a couple stuoid good dishes - from New York so bar is high. Denver Cut. Octopus. Lamb chops. Hamachi. Also think it’s evident they have trained ahd managed situation and staff. Moreover, very few of the better Huston restaurants I’ve given a lot of thoughts to their wine list. Sadly, some of them have the most atrocious wines for the quality and expensive food. Okto list is A+

Interesting menu, very good execution in the kitchen - don’t miss the filet, Denver cut and grilled hamachi. The locale is nicely decorated but rather noisy. Value is on the low side, their prices are quite high (eg., $20-25 appetizers) for the quality you get

The food was absolutely amazing. We were celebrating my friends birthday and sat at the bar. The restaurant is so cute and looked just like the pictures I saw online. For appetizers since we were there for Happy Hour we ordered the Hamachi Tartare and Octopus Carpaccio which was so yum! Then we ordered the Frena, Crab Squid Ink Linguini, Octopus and fries which were also so delicious. Everything was 10/10 and we would totally go back! The drinks were so good too we had the Spicy Margarita and the Okto G&T

A really great dinner experience with some inventive concepts on the menu. Maybe not quite enough choices? Out server Tristan was delightful and helpful in selecting complimentary shared plates for a family style experience. Fun cocktails. Parking is pretty awful. Uber if you can and definitely have a reservation. The front door staff is not humored by changes or late arrivals.

My wife and I love going to Okto in the afternoon after work on Fridays, they have the best drinks and delicious food at their happy hour from 5 to 7 which works perfect for your busy schedule. The bar tenders are especially awesome in their accommodating treatment and excellent drink making skills. We highly recommend Okto and will continue to enjoy our visits
