The Octagon Markham Reviews
Charged for items we didn't order.
On Friday Aug 28,2025 my cousin and I had a reservation for 5pm at the Octagon. When we sat down, they brought us a pickle tray. We ordered the table side Caesar salad for two and a side starter of ribs and side starter of scallops, when we asked fo

Why are we still going downtown
There's a reason this place has been a staple in Thornhill for years, and survived post covid while we said goodbye to a bunch of restaurants in Toronto proper. The food is always great, the service is phenomenal, the decor is beautiful. I forev

The best steakhouse north Of Toronto Place is great service is great and food is the best very nice and clean historical building. Love to visit every chance I will get. I will give 10 out of ten👌👌👍👍
Good food but waiter was a snob
The food was great. but the waiter spoiled it as he was looing over my shoulder when I was adding the tip. He spoiled the the evening. Wouldn't bother going again if this is how waiters behave.
Outstanding Octagon
I made reservations for a private room and the restaurant décor is beautiful with lots of wood and plush accents. They have a large selection of wines and the cocktails were expertly made. Our waiters were excellent...attentive but never hovering.

Last year we attended this restaurant for the first time as we are from out of town, The experience was amazing. We were seated on the upper level and the service was exceptional as was the food. My family treated us to dinner there this past Saturda
We had such a great night yesterday.
Tasty food, dessert and appetizer. In my sight all the staff was so hospitable and kind. Also, so professional.
Been going there since 1990.
Sad to hear it is closing. Best pepper steak in GTA. Lots of memories .
Classic steakhouse in Thornhill.
As an institution of the city for over 30 years The Octagon has always delivered on quality and service. The steaks here are amazing, made perfect every time. Incredible wine selection to be made note of. The decor is very classic with wood fini

French Onion SoupLobster TailTiramisu the best new years dinner ever!! Great service and cozy atmosphere
The owner has already checked out!
The property has been sold and will be demolished for a condominium to be built - and it shows in the quality of the experience. Strike 1: we ordered a 2019 Sterling Cab and were given a 2020. At $115 I expect to get what I ordered. Strike 2: the
An ok old school steakhouse that is reasonably priced.
Wine list is extensive and reasonably priced vs downtown Toronto options. Steaks are reasonable too. Had the Ceasar salad that was prepared table side. A little disappointed that they used pre-grated Parmesan. Can definitely taste the difference a
Very disappointed
Very disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. When I phoned to make the reservation I specifically asked if their Alaska King Crab legs were the extra large legs like I used to have there a number of years ago. They said yes they were exa
Classy place, excellent choices on menu.
Very helpful waiters, parking lot and valet available. Dress code but we'll worth it
Good experience
I have been here a few times. Service is always good and friendly. The food quality is not as good as before but still justified for the price. I would recommend this restaurant for special occasion.

I've heard great reviews from friends so decided to try it
I've heard great reviews from friends so decided to try it for dinner Firstly, it felt like a very rushed service. We barely sipped our drink before the appetizers arrived. My partner was waiting for me to come back from the washroom before eatin
Nice decor.
Valet parking. Make reservations. We had a lovely dinner for four. Two orders of filet mignon, one strip loin, and one salmon. I wish the food was served warmer. My husband's side was a baked potato. He noticed that server did not ask him if he wante
Connect with users posting reservations for The Octagon Markham
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Octagon Markham. 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 The Octagon Markham at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Octagon Markham 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
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Octagon Markham 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 The Octagon Markham!
* 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.
