5/7/2023 0 Comments Octave grill![]() Fair Oaks’ Habanero Havarti is a frequent flier in my fridge at home, so I was glad to taste its spicy bite through the pungence of the bleu cheese sauce. The burger arrived perfectly medium rare and with just enough of each cheese and bacon to not overpower that delectable beef. I opted for the chanute, which featured grilled cremini mushrooms, bacon, Fair Oaks Farms Habanero Havarti cheese, and a bleu cheese sauce on a brioche bun. Every burger is also made from Tallgrass Beef, which I had never heard of prior to this and would have been a massive eye roll had it not been so damned tasty. They have about ten burgers on the menu plus a monthly special, which this month was “Tallgrass beef stuffed with mushrooms duxelle, aged white cheddar, greens, tomato and onion with a Wiconsin cream sauce on an onion roll.” If that seems like a mindful, take a read through Octave’s menu before you go, because every burger description is like that. Octave (and everyone else) makes a big deal about being a burger place, although it’s not at all your average beer and burger joint. ![]() If you’re planning on coming in with any more than 4 people, I would 100% recommend making a reservation because there are only about 4 fourtops in the building. There is definitely a cute factor-specials written in chalk, kitschy salt and pepper sets-but it’s not cutesy. One wall of exposed brick, apple green plaster, plank floors with more personality than a lot of people I’ve met. The interior is just right for what Octave is. I love where I’m from, but it’s hardly what you’d call a bustling food scene, so I was a little skeptical whether Octave would be good or just relatively good. This little spot is in the sleepy, quaint main street of Chesterton, IN and can’t possibly seat more than 30 people. Foodie friend Kristin was the first to tell me about Octave, and when my sister suggested “a place in Chesterton,” I crossed my fingers they had the same place in mind. Considering the smallish size of my Indianapolis circle of friends from The Region, I’ve heard a shocking amount of positive feedback about a new restaurant back home called Octave Grill.
