    Food was great. We ordered a drink and waited to put food order in wanting to order wine with meal. Was told drinks would be right out. Placed meal order. Initial cocktail and meal came out at same time. Took over 20 mins for first drink. Server never came back after delivering meal.

    My family and I had a lovely dinner at OBC Kitchen and I doubt I can do it justice with just a few words. In short, the food was amazing, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the service impeccable. I especially would like to give a shout out to our server, Travis H. for his friendly, attentive service to our party of six on a very busy Saturday night.

    The bacon in a glass is a must have! Shrimp and grits as well as halibut are delicious. Don’t leave without the carrot cake!

    The servers, bartenders, etc. were phenomenal! Our waitress was well versed in the menu, not how to make suggestions, engaged at the appropriate level, meaning she kept the water glasses and are needs met without hovering.

    The Fried Green Tomatoes app was delicious. We were also very pleased with the Calabaza Halibut and the Scallop Risotto.
