Our overall experience was very good however we did have one entree that wasn't served as expected. It was the scallop and shrimp risotto. The manager did adjust the bill. So thank you for doing that.

Christmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!

Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!

I gave the rating because my glass and flatware were dirty. My champagne was spoiled. The Thai mussels and shrimp special apps were amazing. Pot roast and pork chop also great.
