Had a really nice lunch/brunch in the pretty re-decorated front room. Burger was delish! Service was good but we were a bit put off by the following two thongs: 1- Fresh bread (which was very good) was $9.00! And we were not told that there was a charge for bread. 2- They added a $6.00 “hospitality charge” for the health care of their employees. It felt wrong to charge without first advising us of the charge. They did remove that though. Note that a nice touch is that if you park in the back, they validate parking for 90 minutes. We loved the food though!

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.
