The Octagon is an upscale steakhouse. The clientèle is professional and well-to-do. The decor is rich, tasteful, and elegant.
The steak was prepared perfectly. We had requested medium and it was delicious. Very warm, tender, moist, with a pink centre. Garlic mashed potatoes on the side were perhaps a little too garlicky. The sole almondine was very flavourful and a larger portion than expected.
We had asked for a recommendation for a house red wine. The recommendation was Black Opal and it complimented the dinner selection.
The staff - maitre d, wait staff, coat room attendant, etc. - are very professional but curt, not very friendly, and do not smile. They are however, attentive.
Make a reservation, the place is busier than expected on a Thursday evening. Parking is tight. It is quite expensive so try it as part of an intimate celebration or to impress a business associate.

We were given a gift certificate to the Octagon so we thought we'd try it out. The food was great. They make a mean ceasar salad, right at your table. It was the best I've ever had. The steaks were great and the atmosphere wonderful. We'd definitely go back for a special occasion only, as it was very pricy!

My boyfriend and I cam here for our anniversary. Excellent service, a very classy, sophisticated atmosphere. A great ambience. Each table feels very private and the waiters are very attentive.
The rib eye steak was phenomenal. It was juicy, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. I also had a bit of my boyfriend's steak too which was also really good!
Of course, the filet mignon was too huge for me to finish (16 oz) so I took the rest home. Surprisingly my parents had microwaved it and finished it off and also thought it was amazing. It must be to actually taste good after microwaving!
I highly recommend going here for a special occasion. May have been the most delicious steak I've had!

Best Ceasar salad I have ever had. The steak was no Kobe, but considering you can not get Kobe anywhere...Octagon definitely competes with the other high end steak houses in the city...Great atmosphere, above average service and superbe local for fine dining....
This elegant fine dining restaurant has been serving Thornhill residents for over 40 years. The octagonal-shaped steakhouse features opulent décor throughout — sparkling chandeliers, dark wood furniture, stained glass lanterns — and entertaining chefs prepare and serve Caesar salads (for a minimum of two diners) tableside in oversized wooden bowls. Not just a feast for the eyes, the bountiful mix delivers an expertly-executed mix of dark leafy greens, romaine lettuce, house-made croutons and crunchy bacon bits coated in a delicately smooth dressing.
