    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

    Excellent, excellent meal. I thought the batter on the fried zucchini was heavy and gritty but everything, everything else on our plates was exceptional. The room is gorgeous. The service was perfect. When I return to Little Italy, I can't choose another restaurant. I have to return to OB. Thank you
