    Not our first time at OBC but tried new items. The burnt end appetizer was very good. The calamari was mostly crust and not much calamari. Two of us had the pork chop and mine had good flavor but was a bit overcooked and dry. It was served on a yucca mash that was very off putting because it was texturally a gummy paste. One person had the salmon and she said it was delicious except for the arugula that appeared to have no dressing. Our final diner had the red snapper special which he enjoyed. The bar serves a wide variety of bourbons and craft cocktails that are always very good. Our waiter was top notch.

    Best cocktails and food in Lexington! We have never had a bad meal at OBC. Brunch and dinner are both amazing. They make the best amaretto sour I have ever had. You will not be disappointed!

    Talk about a memorable culinary experience with expert service! I had the mushroom risotto and my husband the shrimp and grits. A perfect portion of delicate flavors and hearty seafood. Our friends chose the halibut and were most pleased. We literally were tickled the meals were so delicious cooked perfectly. Had an expert coffee martini and the chocolate pistachio dessert to finalize this delectable meal. Cozy and warm atmosphere served by master waiter, Truman. An ideal outing to toast our friendship!

    Waiter knew the menu inside and out. He gave me a recommendation on the halibut and it did not disappoint. We don’t drink, and they had a nice selection of mocktails. Food was out quickly, prepared amazing and beautifully. We’ll be back.
