    Family Valentine’s Dinner and so glad we chose OBC. The bacon in a glass was too cool. The bacon had turned lardy. The cocktails, rolls, salad and pork chop were amazing! Our server was sooooo attentive. I wish I had her name. The carrot cake was just ok. We’ll definitely visit again!

    Loved our meal at OBC Kitchen. It was very busy, but we had reservations and were seated right away. The ambience is great! Very professional and friendly wait staff, we went for brunch and all of us enjoyed our dishes (crab cake Benedict, waygu burger, all American breakfast, and breakfast sandwich). Drinks were yummy! The only slight imperfection is that the lighting is so dim, it’s a little hard for older eyes (ha!) to read the menu. They do also leave a tablet at the table with the menu including pictures, so that’s helpful.

    It would be nice if they served gluten friendly bread along with the rolls they give the table. I had a female server provide sourdough toast on another occasion since it is part of their menu, but this one was unwilling to take care of allergy issues. Drinks are always fantastic and he kept our waters full. Salads and meals are always top shelf and delicious. I have a dairy allergy and he didn’t seem very concerned about it and I still walked away having a reaction in my throat needing a Benadryl so that is unsettling and unfortunate to think about coming again.
