Shrutika Sachdev

Start with an Oyster and Deviled Egg and DON'T MISS the Saffron Tonnarelli with the local dungeness crab - a perfect bowl of pasta !!! I'll be back to try more!

Eater

The after-dinner menu features spiced profiteroles paired with a velvety spoonful of muscovado-spiced ice cream , as well as a warm chocolate souffle tart beside a dollop of salted caramel ice cream . Read more

The deviled egg at Octavia is a delight. The creaminess of the runny yolk combined with the bold Marash pepper spices & Fresno chile relish makes for one exciting bite. Read more

We got the vegetarian tasting menu and were absolutely stuffed even before the dessert course. We loved the spinach salad with fig and white balsamic, and also the eggplant soup !

Chris Weber

I think that was the best vegetarian food I ever had.Beside that the duck and the halibut were amazing,too. And the desserts …puh… really, really good. Will come again.

Eater

The famous soft-boiled egg is a must, as are any of the fresh pastas . A cozy , minimalist dining room is the scene in this lower Pacific Heights spot. Read more

Words can't even describe how amazing this place is. Things to try: calamari , deviled egg , king salmon , tagliatelle , and strawberry poppy seed profiteroles.

Elias Biz

Great for dates. Amazing food, service and ambience. Every dish we had blew us away -- devil egg , oysters mignonette, squid ink noodles , halibut , lentil squash soup , saffron Tonnarelli

Doug de Wet

Everything was delicious! We found portions to be quite generous. If sampling a variety of dishes, consider splitting an entrée to enable achieving one of their wonderful desserts .

Arthur Le Meur

Awesome meal! Tasting menu was very well thought out. Favorites were: deviled egg , steak , fig salad , zucchini pasta , chocolate cake

Katie Exton

Pasta here is so good. Pappardelle with chanterelles , brown butter , & sweet corn was so good we ordered a second one. Atmospheric room, good service . Genuine and unforced brilliance.

Odile Roujol

You can’t be a top restaurant and have 10 people be near your table when you begin your dinner during 15 mn as no place for new guests to wait for their table !!!

Stephanie Tsai

Cute restaurant , great service, delicious food! Recommend the bread , deviled egg , squid ink pasta , chocolate tart ... all of it!

Jacob Gyllenstierna

Start with the house vermouth cocktail . Order the cold squid ink noodles , salmon belly and the quail . Finish with the chocolate souffle . All delicious!

Lauren Adams

Food was great and considering the service and ambiance, totally fairly priced . Tables are a bit close together because it's a small space. Wouldn't make my top top top list.

Taiowa Waner

The deviled egg was really interesting and tasty. Get the bread ! I wish I had bought a loaf to go. I had the polenta , which was incredible.

Ben Barclay

Wide-ranging, well-priced wine list , great ambience, and solid menu options including the tomato soup , tagliatelle , deviled egg , and delicious bread .

Odile Roujol

Nice atmosphere. Lighting. And not too noisy which is always pleasant compared to many restaurants in San Francisco

James Gooch

Simply fantastic. We had the tasting menu and loved it. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommended.

Autumn squash , kibo farm little gems (actually an amazing green salad ) and duck breast . Plus pinot noir . ❤️

The chicken with grilled stone fruit , white corn , chanterelles , and green beans is an enticing entrée. Read more

Alice Kamenetsky

Awesome experience - bread is amazing, the pappardelle carbonara , deviled egg , and squid ink noodles

Delicious soup , excellent vermouth cocktails (no full bar ), and huge rib-eye portions.

The quail and the aguachile are amazing! The corn lasagna is also very interesting and good!

The Taste Sheriff

The food was ok. Nothing blew my mind though, it was just ok. Price for 3 tiny appetizers , 2 main courses, and a bottle of wine ($50), was $210, including tip. Not coming back again.

I am not sure what is the deal with Americans....but i am convinced they know nothing about food..especially gourmet food.

Simon Tan

Pappardelle was great, deviled egg was a bit overrated
