OctoBar

FOOD- Taziki was so good. Super light and the pita bread was moist and well seasoned! AMBIANCE- 5/5 I loved it. It was great! We sat at the bar and ordered $5 Sangria! SERVICE- 4/5.Would definitely come back here!

I love tapas and a Mediterranean meal and MAN did OctoBar nail this place.With such an extensive menu (both drinks and food) I bet everyone is just as happy to find several mouth watering options here.The bar upfront is a little intimate but the restaurant then opens up in the back (and upstairs) for more space. Favorite dish: the mussels entree with the creamy lemon sauce. Some of the best mussels I've had.Avoid: the escargots appetizer. They say there's escargots in there but all we are/saw were mushrooms... Still a great night with delectable food and friendly, attentive service!!

Been a little while since I was last here, but my wife and I just stopped in the best happy hour. Spicy margarita was on point, and the food was good do.Need to start coming here more often.

Drinks are amazing, I love their margaritas. Do be warned the service is VERY slow so don't expect an attentive waitress. Food is good but a little overpriced.

the service was phenomenal. The space was beautiful; there was an upstairs and downstairs space. The vibe was fun. The food to me was just ok. I preferred the brussel sprouts and they were cooked well and had a decent flavor. I also othered the lamb meatballs and the meatballs were lacking in seasoning and the sauce tasted a little like metal. It was definitely a more than decent portion size for the price. It heated up better the next day and tasted considerably better with a little more flavor added to it.I think this place has a lot of potential if some small tweaks are made.

So so close to 5 stars! Almost perfect but just biffed it at the end.This was my first time to Octobar, came with my husband and another couple on a Wednesday. Happy hour is until 7 with lots of options on the HH menu. This would be a great first date spot! All of our food (some from the regular menu) was great as was the red sangria (maybe a tad too sweet- but I loved the fruit in it!).Octobar has both small tapas plates and big entrees. I loved the big menu which was great for sharing with friends.Some standout plates were the chorizo sliders, the mussels, and the warm olives. Some of the dishes could come with a few more pieces of bread. During the meal, service was great but when it came time to pay - our server was nowhere to be found! It took over 25 minutes to pay our bill, totally unacceptable. At one point he asked if we wanted boxes... surely that is a sign we are wrapping up right? Then NOTHING. He never came back. He took another table's order right next to us and then I just kept walking. It was bizarre. Other than the strange close out experience, we had a great time, food was great and I thought prices were reasonable with or without happy hour. I'd go back!!

I'd been eyeing the spot ever since it opened and couldn't wait to try it out. A friend and I popped in for brunch one more afternoon this summer. We got parking pretty easily and were seated right away at a table near the bar. The bartender was also our server and had great energy. She was a joy. We got the sangria she suggested which was delicious. The food, however; was a bit disappointing. It was Restaurant Week so we got a mixture of those offerings and food from the regular menu. We got the mussels, the dates, the steak and eggs, and a pork chop dish. My friend liked the dates but we didn't care for much else. Perhaps brunch wasn't what I should've tried first. Maybe I'll try it again for dinner because I really want to like this place.

Quaint Federal hill spot for small plates and cocktails. Go for happy hour! (4pm -7pm) great deals. The small portions let you try lots of things you might not usually order. The ambience was dark, vibey, and romantic. Service was good too. Overall: I found this restaurant really good but not great. Liked the drinks better than the food.

We came here for a girl's night happy hour after Googling great happy hour menus in the area - and this one was killer! The service was amazing from the moment we walked in, the bartender, bar back, and owner stopped by frequently to check on us and make sure we were taken care of. The best thing about Octobar and the one I've been screaming from the rooftops is a make your own margarita bar! They offer 10-15 flavors and you can mix and match as many as you like. We tested a few combos and we loved cucumber jalapeño! Each drink comes with a fresh garnish, as well. I had the pan con tomate, the meatballs, and the papas bravas and they were perfect. My friend had the chicken kebab with couscous, the grilled street corn, and the basil pesto tortellini and really enjoyed them. Her fave was the kebab and couscous and the tortellini. We honestly ordered too much, I think four small plates total would have been plenty! We had a great time, enjoyed our food and drinks, and will be back again!
