Great ambience, the BEST service, Amazing food, had the best Old fashioned and Brussel sprouts, Sea bass was really good and was comparable to other top restaurants. Oysters were on point. Definitely going back to have their old fashioned and try out other menus!

I've been here many times to wine and dine clients for lunch.
This evening was different. We came to celebrate a dear friend's 40th birthday. 4 adults, 3 children. We balled out!
Cocktails, food and service are top notch!
Must try staples to try are the New Orleans BBQ shrimp, Bacon Steak and their sides! The Chefs Cut Rib Eye Cap is exceptional!
For dessert: Butter Cake!

My first time here tonight and it was amazing. I came to celebrate my 40th birthday and this place did not disappoint. The service was amazing, the food was so good, and the restaurant was beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion! It's pricey but worth it for sure.

When we first walked in, we were excited. At first glance, this restaurant showed sophistication and promise. It has a very cool like new York or Chicago feeling ambiance, very moody and rich, with dark accents and lighting.
The food is good. We ordered the rib eye sandwiches and a lobster grilled cheese. Our rib eye sandwich was tasty. We were expecting a sliced steak but what we got was shaved steak. Might have missed that description on the menu. If so, my bad. However, for a $24 price point per sandwich, it could have been better perhaps. The lobster grilled cheese came recommended by our server but we would not recommend it. Lobster was perhaps overly fishy tasting.
As for drinks, I ordered the old brea old fashioned. It was very good and worth the price of $17.
Last for our meal was dessert. We enjoyed the desserts. We tried a selection of desserts: warm butter cake, creme brulee, and the sorbet trio. The warm butter cake was delicious, and the sorbets were pretty good. The creme brulee was just okay.
There were some other things that made our experience less than 5-star. First off, the owner or manager (I'm assuming. He had a laptop at the bar and was showing the hosts something on the laptop) was on his phone and talking business maybe like 6 feet from our booth. At the time of his call, the restaurant wasnt that full so we could hear his whole conversation and he was leaning against a wall and facing us for most of his call, making us feel like we were part of his work call.
Additionally, this restaurant does staged courses, meaning they swap out your utensils for each course. That's fine, makes it feel fancy. However, our server did kind of awkwardly reach across us to get the silverware and a bit quick to reach for our plate assuming we were finished. So that felt a bit, brusque. Another thing is that the kitchen is open toward the restaurant. The kitchen was a bit cluttered and messy looking and off to the side were stacks of cardboard boxes of kitchen stuff or supplies, really detracting from what would have been a cool feature of seeing the kitchen. Then the booth we sat at, there was a host/server station right behind our seat. The restaurant is on the small side so I understand that space is limited. However, it felt kind of weird to all of a sudden hear the servers working stuff out right at my ear pretty much. And then last thing, the lighting of our booth, on one of the seats, the ceiling light shines directly on you sitting there like a spotlight. If that could be addressed that'd be great.
So, in conclusion, this restaurant has great promise, especially if the above are addressed. It'll still be on the pricier side, but with the ambiance (minus the detractions) of this restaurant, it could be a place to come back to. As for us, we are on the fence if we want to give this spot another chance.

Had a lovely dinner at OBCH. Glad we used Resy app to reserve, we didn’t wait long to get seated on a very busy Friday night.
Started off with a lemon drop martini ($15) which was perfect after a long work week. Our server Sergio made the right recommendations: we thoroughly demolished our burrata appetizer ($19) with the freshly baked assorted breads.
Made the right choice in picking Braised Short Ribs ($39) which was soooo tender and delicious! My husband really enjoyed his double cut Pork Chop ($38) - so thick and juicy and yummy. Our side creamed corn with bacon steak ($24) was a great complement to our main dishes.
Service was attentive and not rushed. We can’t wait to return to try the other dishes on the menu. The bar looked really fun as well, maybe we’ll be back to watch some football on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Parking can be a hassle but there’s valet and a short walk to some parking structures… It is located next to Improv and YardHouse.
