I recently stopped by OCMC for a date night after hearing good things about the food and location in general. First off the location is up this winding road which is VERY sketchy when there is more than one car. Take your time! Upon arriving the location hits all the marks with ambiance and we were welcomed by the staff before being taken to our table. The service was prompt and pleasant which of course is very nice. We ordered drinks, apps and our main. One thing I thought was very thoughtful was as I said we ordered apps and steaks for our mains. The apps were delivered and after some time the waiter came back and asked if we were ready for the to “fire” our steaks so they would be cooked right before they were brought to us. Very thoughtful. The food was delicious and we both were very happy with the experience overall. No doubt we will be back and recommending OMCM to all who ask.

We went for the advertised “Traditional Thanksgiving Buffet," but the spread felt more like a Vegas-style hodgepodge. In addition to some of the expected items like turkey and stuffing, the odd assortment of waffles, donuts, scrambled eggs, enchiladas, chicken fried steak (to name a few) was just weird. The traditional Thanksgiving dishes were pretty mediocre - they almost seemed like an afterthought - and the random assortment of unrelated items made it feel more like a confusing mix than a true Thanksgiving experience. To top it off, we were seated in a dark corner on the patio by a swinging entrance door, which was a real disappointment. Would not recommend.

Great experience and amazing food. They will give your table away if no one is present even if you use the restroom. Overall, the ambience is fun and the food was amazing.
