Was there for the happy hour special that's mon-fri. Loved the crab dip, cheese Curds and pretzel appetizers. Listened to the live band. It's nice to have brewed tea. So many place have something out of a fountain. Wait staff was awesome.. valet parking was nice. It's tip only..

New chef and new owner are really changing this place for the better! I got the streak bites (didn't like the sauce it was paired with, too much horseradish for me) but the streak was cooked how I asked and flavorful. The crab dip was amazing! (You gotta try it!)Definitely will be going back to try some of their daily specials!! The bartender was really sweet and made me a yummy mocktail bloody mary. 10/10 recommend

I would have given this place 5 stars, but I have to take three off because of their VERY poor practice with valet parking. I recently bought a house in the Kings Grant area and had seen this place from the road many times. I was extremely excited to try it as a potential new local haunt but when I finally had the opportunity, their valet parking policy almost caused me to leave immediately.Now hear me out, I'm not opposed to valet parking in general, because it can be great. It was the way they went about it that I found rude, unnecessarily inconvenient to patrons, and just poor business practice overall. They take up their ENTIRE parking lot for valet spots... yes, the whole thing, not just a reasonable one or two rows, all of it. They have an unassuming stand in the corner, and no marking on the actual spaces that it's valet, which caused confusion with almost every potential would-be patron parking in the wildly empty lot, then getting immediately told off and told to park in the lots of the fast food businesses down the block--nevermind if those businesses need them for their own patrons and may tow you. Even though you are a paying customer, get out, unless you do valet.A couple problems I observed with this: First of all, the lot stayed almost 80% empty the entire time. Some people parked elsewhere, bit the bullet, and walked back over. A good number of cars however, simply left after being told off and then finding no alternative parking at the other businesses. They hands down lost more patronage than they had that night, 100% due to the forced valet situation. In addition to this, many of the spots they put the cars in were closer to the front door than the valet stand, causing customers to drop the car at the valet, have a longer walk to the door, then walk PAST THEIR CAR back to the valet and wait for them to retrieve it??Dear management, don't worry about me, for your own sake, do BETTER. I own a small business. This is terrible business practice. Take one or two of the parking lanes in your lot for valet and leave the rest for your patrons. Do not sacrifice potential business for the hopes of valet tips. Give your customers both options instead of forcing your own patrons to park in the lots of other businesses. This is a terrible and frankly ridiculous experience that benefits no one in the long term.And if you are going to insist on this terrible idea, at least mark the spots to save your patrons the first impression of the "get out" conversation with valet attendants.

We have been to OBT 6 times in the past year for special events (all were great). We’ve always ordered something to eat and each time it has taken 45 min to 1hr to get our food. Last night it took 1 hr and 15 min to get French fries and pretzel bites. Our waiters never voluntarily give us updates on our food.

The first server was great. The second server wasn't worth a to since he didn't pay any attention when I tried to get his attention. I finally went to the hostess to please send him to my table so I could leave. And I did enjoy the group, Jason Cale Band. They were very good.

OBT is amazing! All that I can say is to try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Great food and service! Highly recommend!!

Group of six of us went around 11:30 today. Only a few customers inside other than us. Took almost 45 minutes for lunch to come out. Very slow. Ordered chicken tacos and chicken was not hot. Waitress not mentioning anything about why it's taking so long. All food did not come out at once even though she said it was coming right out she went to another table.Got the bill and 18% tip was added already and she did NOT mention it. I believe restaurants should state that when they present the bill.

Nice big open clean restaurant. We were pretty much the only ones in there so can’t attest to what it’s like busier, but our waitress was exceptional and the food came out pretty quick. Food was really good. The only thing I would suggest (didn’t affect us) is if you have to take a personal call maybe go into the back so customers aren’t even aware you’re on the phone if you can’t help your waitress seat tables.

Our waitress was "fabulous". And I can't lie and say the onion rings weren't pretty good. It's when you order beef tacos and you can clearly tell that the beef had absolutely zero seasoning, it just makes you wonder who back there is in charge of cooking that. The beef has to be "seasoned". I'm not being petty I'm just being honest?? A little salt, little sage a touch of chili oil and garlic and that's good enough IMO. And three tacos for $11 is a pretty unavoidable deal ✌?There's just too many chefs out there, not to be able to find one of them male or female, that can show you how to make some good seasoned beef.
