Why You’ll Want To Go Back To Octavia Again and Again
That egg, that glorious egg at Octavia.
There are restaurants that serve comfort food.
And then there are restaurants that are pure comfort.
Octavia in San Francisco is such a place.
Like her first restaurant, Frances in San Francisco, Chef-Owner Melissa Perello has a knack for creating places that are cozy, warm, and understated. They make you feel right at home from the get-go, as if you just settled into the corner of a favorite couch at your best friend’s abode for what you know will be a lovely, relaxed evening.
Well, if only your best bud could cook as beautifully and effortlessly as Perello and Chef de Cuisine Robert Hernandez, of course.
The laid-back dining room.
To be packed on a Monday night is saying something.
Even on a recent Monday night, the Michelin-starred restaurant was packed, as I found out when I met a dear old friend for dinner, with each of us paying our tab at the end. What an ideal place for a gals’ night out to catch up with each other’s busy lives.
