Customer service was great, smiling faces with pleasant attitude. The prices are high but if you don’t mind paying for the aesthetics and atmosphere, then this place is for you. I loved it, people were singing and the ambiance was energetic and contagious. Valet was a great, I hate looking for parking, $15. Overall experience was great!

Always a good experience at Ospi. Consistently good food and service. I like how the Brentwood location is nice and feels upscale but not stuffy. This time had the spicy eggplant (my favorite), the roasted cauliflower (very good), kale salad (solid staple, always very good), pasta with sausage (good) and the dover sole (i don't eat this but my campanions loved it). I always find their pizzas and pastas to be delicious as well and the Butter Chicken is not to be missed.
