Octave Grill - A Unique Dining Experience

 

Located in the heart of downtown Chesterton, Octave Grill offers creative burgers and homemade desserts in a kitschy setting. The grass-fed beef burgers come on soft brioche buns. Toppings are from local producers, such as Havarti cheese from Fair Oaks Farms, and Saturday morning purveyors at Chesterton’s European Market. Area artists’ works adorn brick walls.
