    OBC is always one of our favorites for brunch. Food is always great and we usually don’t go to the bar but we were early today and waited at the bar. Those guys were awesome. Funny and personable. Never been disappointed at the OBC Kitchen.

    We have been here many times and love the food here, however on this visit the music was so loud we could barely hear each other speak while screaming at each other. Not pleasant. I also want to say that ever since Chris was relocated to another BHG restaurant, a manager presence has been lacking. A good manager knows the regulars and goes out of their way to make you feel appreciated for loyal patronage.

    Everything was good, beer selection was very good. Initially they wanted to seat us near the front door, I asked if we could be moved, temperatures outside were in the 20’s and it was cool in that spot, they accommodated our request and moved us to a high top near the bar. Much warmer but dark. I had the horseradish potato crusted salmon which was very good and my wife hade the Wagu Burger, which was very good as well, but not sure I would rate either as outstanding. Probably a place for a younger crowd than my wife and I, though the background music was all us.
