    The cocktails lived up to the hype. The waitress did a great job of helping us choose. Food was great. The only minor complaint is that I wanted to have a glass of wine with my entree. My cocktail was done. The entree arrived, delivered by an expediter, but the waitress wasn't able to get to our table for quite a while afterward. Kind of threw off the timing and flow of the meal. Looked like 2 waitstaff for the whole floor. She was spread a bit thin. Overall though, a solid meal with nice ambiance and friendly staff.

    We went to Oblo for Thanksgiving dinner and it was excellent! The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding!! We had the Cornish hen, the gnocci, the spaghetti carbonara and the mushroom appetizer!!! Make sure to order extra bread with the appetizer!

    My husband and I went for thanksgiving dinner. We arrived an hour early but were seated promptly. Staff was very friendly and quick to tell us the specials and take our order. We split the Brussels sprouts and meatballs. The Brussels are a must. It really could be its own meal. You get 2 meatballs which is a bummer but only because the are so good. I had the cornstar martini which was very refreshing & the perfect balance to my very rich & DELICIOUS spaghetti carbonara. The portion size was double what I expected and a very yummy snack a couple hours later. Pasta tasted fresh & perfect al dente. This is the kind of dish you want for a cheat meal. My husband had the salt & vinegar with kettle one. Personally I hate pickles, but the drink wasn’t bad. He had the seafood stew which I couldn’t try because I’m allergic to shellfish but he loved it, and he’s pretty picky about his seafood. The portion was also big and came with a giant prawn on top. There was a lot of seafood in it too which he was happy about. For dessert we had the chocolate bomb & Americano. The chocolate bomb was a chocolate shell with a mousse inside. Not overly sweet at all. It was ridiculously good. One of the top 5 desserts I’ve had. The Americano was great and a great pair with the chocolate. Normally when I have carbs I instantly bloat…bad. After eating here I was fine! No bloat at all! Everything was high quality and fresh. They really know what they’re doing. Everything we got came out hot. I mean blow on it hot. I’ve never been to a restaurant and had my food come out like that. You can tell it wasn’t sitting under a heat lamp. I loved it! Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious. We will definitely be back!

    My wife and I have now dined at this restaurant on five occasions. We have enjoyed every meal. The service has been fabulous. Four out of the five times we were served by Madeline. She is knowledgeable, efficient and pleasant. We have tried a number of dishes, and all of them have been excellent. On our last meal here we brought two friends. They loved it also. It is definitely worth checking this restaurant out

    Food was very good. One of us was vegan gluten free, and they were able to create a delicious dish to meet his need. I ordered pappardelle bison ragu with gluten free pasta and it was delicious. we ordered 3 drinks, mine was strawberry cream vodka but using tequila instead and it was really yummy. Not just the good food but this place is able to accommodate your need such as gluten free and vegan, and they were able to remove dairy from the dish. We will come back.

    We had an excellent meal at Oblo. Each of us had the delicious labster ravioli, sprinkled with tobiko. Three patties per, but it was rich enough that we ate half the orders the next day. Waitress named Moon was competent and lots of fun. I parked in the shopping center lot, which might have been risky; there is a paid lot across the street.

    Everything was delicious from their special Paloma, arugula salad, bison Parpadelle, Oblo burger and special mushroom bucatini! We even got two desserts- the cheesecake and a layered chocolate ganache ball. It’s also beautiful inside, we will be back.
