   Caesar by the table is better than any other steakhouse. Busy night, they were off by 15% for service and food. Ordered medium, got medium well. I'm sure it's a 5 when they're not at 110% booking during the holidays.

   Celebrated my girlfriend’s 24th birthday and was absolutely blown away by the service and attention to detail. From start to finish the staff and atmosphere were fantastic, food was more than top shelf. Thank you Octagon for making a very special day that much more enjoyable.

   In the past 5 months I have been there 3 times with the same people. We usually spend upwards of $350. Service, as always, impeccable. You can always enjoy an evening there. Ambiance, noise level and food were all good. The ribs were tasty and plentiful. The steaks were butterflied and cooked perfectly - but the 2 smallish mushrooms looked so sparse on the plates with the meat. However, I did notice, as did my guests - garlic bread was not up to par. It was "white slices, lite on the garlic and especially on the toasting. Definitely not up to your standards. The relish tray of pickles etc. has certainly been diminished . Those three, are items that we all previously enjoyed enormously with drinks before dinner. They are almost signature items of the "Octagon" The spumoni for dessert was delicious as always.. Thank you

    We order the chateaubriand for two, which is carved at your table. When we ordered it we asked if medium rare is pink, not red, inside. The waiter told us it was. Once it came it was red inside. So the waiter said that he could adjust that and cook it a little longer. He then cooked it to medium doneness. For a steakhouse not to be able to cook a $130 steak to your liking is awful. The third person ordered the lamb chops which were fine.

    Hi Andrea, Thank you for your feedback and letting us know, actually the chateubriand cooked perfectly is a mix of pink and red in the middle, so he should not have cooked it more and over cooked it, but probably wanted to make sure you were happy and was being cautious, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations of the evening and are always striving to do better and be the best.
