"Named for both its Mediterranean roots (“okto” means “eight” in Greek) band its 888 Westheimer address, Okto brings the flair of Sof Hospitality to Montrose Collective. Chefs Yotam Dolev (Hamsa) and Hai Avnaim (Doris Metropolitan) team up on a menu of delectable bites such as crab squid ink linguini in a luscious sambal sauce. For lighter fare, think razor-thin tuna carpaccio, plump tiger shrimp with tarragon and thyme, or grilled hamachi perched atop an artichoke-pea risotto. A highlight of the newly-launched brunch service: a potato apple latke stacked with beet-cured lox and a confit egg yolk." - Brianna Griff
