If you have not been to Sunday brunch here in a while, the chef continues to change up the menu & offer several creative new dishes. Do not miss the Croque Madam!! The in-house made brioche bread, combined with fresh Gruyère cheese makes this a memorable choice. The new Apple Crisp dessert is also a great new menu addition.

Always fun to try new places. Restaurant was crowded for an off season weeknight which is a testament to the concept and quality. With an 8:15pm reservation for 4, we were not able to be seated for 30 minutes after arrival. On duty manager was nice to deliver a complimentary sushi order. Menu is extensive with headings using words that no one knew the meaning of? Server was competent, knowledgeable and timely. Vibe is hip with lots of young professionals. There are options to eat at sushi bar, in main dining area or outside, as well as bar. Food quality and presentation was high end, pricing is commensurate. Overhead music was slightly intrusive and not in sync with decor or space. It was nice to have a restaurant that gave careful thought to not only the dining space but its restrooms as well. They are professionally decorated and spacious. O-ku is a nice addition to Alys Beach and 30a. Look forward to many future visits.
