    The food was great (love that little house salad and bread!) but what absolutely made our experience was the service. It was expedient without being rushed and all hands were on deck and working as a team on a very busy Saturday. Our server (I think his name was Trevor) was outstanding!! He had quite a few tables and handled everyone and everything smoothly. We ate at a top Chicago steak house a couple of weeks ago that couldn’t hold a candle to the service we got at OBC. We will definitely be back!
