Octavia San Francisco Reviews
What an amazing experience I had at Octavia on Friday night.
My date took me here and it did not disappoint. First off, huge shoutout to the staff, they were so personable and really took the time to guide us through the menu based on what we were in the mood for. We started with the tallow fried green tomatoe

Food would be a 5/5 but service was sub par, for a restaurant that leans more on the expensive side I would expect the service to be exceptional. Regardless I would typically tip 20%. There is a 7% gratuity added to the check which is something for o
The best in every way
I don’t want to be biased since the restaurant was recommended by someone from work. So we tried the Chef’s tasting menu. Oh boy, the different taste and texture of what you’re eating is like heaven to your palate! The curiosity of what comes n
Truly a beautiful experience.
We did the chef tasting menu, and albeit pricey it was so worth it. Each dish is so beautifully prepared and tasty. The wait staff is very polite and quick with service. I can't wait to come again.
We had a nice time at dinner.
Service with Eli and staff were wonderful. The food was so good. We did the tasting with the wine pairing and it was good. We left full and satisfied. Ambience was nice and everybody was great. Def will come back again.

it's always a treat to come to octavia! i think they always shine with their desserts, and the bread and butter is to die for. perfect start to any meal! the rest of the menu is pretty seasonal, so you should always go with whatever sounds good

Under $100 for a tasting menu? Sign me up! Great value and great experience. It's like fine dining but more accessible. I walked by Octavia so many times but never went. We booked a reservation for 7:45pm in their parklet that morning and it
Outstanding Experience
An outstanding overall experience. We did the 4 course menu and all the food was fantastic. I am a dessert person and both desserts presented were amazing. There was a ton of food, definitely left extremely satisfied with the outstanding food and

Very mediocre food.
In fact the cod was so bad I couldn't eat it, and a laughably small piece at that. My friend said her duck was inedible. The salad and pasta were good. The restaurant is insanely loud, the chairs and benches very uncomfortable. Plus, it was frig
The pork gnocchi with chicharron was unbelievably salty.
Seriously it tasted like someone accidentally dropped the salt shaker into the pot. Two bites in and I could already feel my kidneys failing. Drinks were mediocre and felt like we were drinking perfume. Generally the food was subpar for the $300 we s
I hosted a dinner for 4 for my daughter's birthday.
We order the tasting memo for the table as my daughter was excited about the restaurant. Don't do this, the chef had no plan or pride. At one point I sent back a bowl of fish tails and collars that was served like it was special but was so salty
Family dinner
We went the day before Thanksgiving and got the Chef Tasting menu for $89 each. The service was fantastic. However, don’t get the tasting as most of it was not great. The first course was potatoes soup which was awesome. Second course was this
A fabulous dinner
The service and kindness of the staff was lovely. The meal was delicious, we had the watermelon, the halibut dip and the beans with lamb bacon. All was fresh and delicious. Great atmosphere, good food, outstanding service.
Delightful cuisine, atmosphere and service
Absolutely loved this restaurant. We arrived earlier than our reservation, but they were able to accommodate us. Excellent service. Server advised us on wine to accompany our mains, mine the black cod, my friend's the duck breast. We ordered the

Every course of the tasting was excellent, from the amuses
Every course of the tasting was excellent, from the amuses to the chilled pea soup, salad, pasta, lamb, dessert (not to mention the bread.)
Service is perfection, hence 2 stars.
Food disappointing. Ordered starter, main and dessert x 2. Starters were cold including plate suggesting all preprepared and not off the pan. Raab would have been better warm/hot. Trout was only item properly prepared but sauce was tasteless and gooe
This is a good place to go when you're on a diet.
The preparation is healthy and the portions are modest, even the deserts convey only a light taste of sweetness. The only problem is that you may go home hungry. All the vegetable dishes we ordered were innovative and delicious. There was nothing s
We came to Octavia to celebrate a birthday.
We were a party of four. One of our guests has special dietary needs (gluten free, dairy free and no eggs). Our excellent server Kevin, provided us with so many options that fit her needs. We chose three appetizers: bread, an asparagus dish, a mixed
I had dinner at Octavia, and it was a pleasant experience.
The Ribeye steak was tender and flavorful. For a starter, the Wagyu beef tartare was really good and the stone fruit salad was also quite delicious. The service was good, our server was courteous and polite.

Shrimp toast had a negligible amount of shrimp, like spreading peanut butter on the toast, instead of a proper shrimp patty or farce.

Our waiter was great and the dark cozy vibe of the restaurant is perfect. 3 stars for food. The menu was full of interesting things but I felt like it didn't deliver. All the food was gorgeous and for the most part enjoyable but not outstanding. Th

I give a 4 star b/c we were in the parklet...and I HATE parklets (but it was warm). Service was good...server suggested items and we were very happy with them. We did family style and shared bread, broccolini, beets and coquette appetizers along with
A SF gem
We went to the restaurant at the advice of a family friend. It was an excellent referral. Though a high-end restaurant, we were able to share dishes. We started with a beet salad and a grilled-chilled cabbage dish with miso dressing. they were delici

Octavia is a typical SF restaurant that is quite small, you need reservations, parking is of course non-existent and the food is expensive. Given all this is to be expected, it had amazing service. They offer you blankets for your legs if you sit out

Best restaurant in San Francisco! We ate very, very well from the starter, to the main course and then to the dessert. Very welcoming staff, especially Christopher who explained the dishes to us well. We thank him for his advice. I recommend 100%
Delightful Celebration from Octavia
What an exquisite experience . Went here for a birthday and were treated like VIP’s throughout. We opted out of the tasting menu which seemed delicious - but happily created our own shred plate experience wit heirloom tomatoes, albacore tuna - and
Blown away by how good this meal was!

We had the pleasure of dining at Octavia recently.
There was 6 of us, and we opted for the Chefs tasting. The food was outstanding! I think we had every dish on the menu. The service was also outstanding and next time we're in San Francisco, we'll definitely be back.

The second time I ate here we got the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Everything was beautiful and almost all courses were good, but two were big fails. It's NOT cheap so it's hard to swallow a $300+ bill if the food isn't perfect, but I guess
Excellent service - prompt, knowledgeable and attentive.
Food was good but not great. Portions were on the small side. Sourdough bread was very good and should be for $8 per serving. (I can't recall the last restaurant I went to where bread was not included as part of the meal.) Line for the one bathroom

Might be back! Not out of the question.
We got the tasting menu (not the wine pairing) and every single item was special and delicious. We agreed we likely wouldn't have ordered a single thing they served us had we seen it on a menu, so the fact we really enjoyed everything was remarkable.

Connect with users posting reservations for Octavia San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Octavia San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Octavia San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Octavia San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Octavia San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Octavia San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
