My husband and I enjoyed our dinner, the ambiance, the setting, and the excellent service of this restaurant. I had Spaghetti Carbonara and my husband had Pappardelle with meat sauce. We both thought the dishes were very good. The Bruschetta was also very good. We will return!

We had a great meal at Oblo. The service, food, and ambience were perfect. They aim to create the best freshly cooked meals with the best local ingredients. Service with a smile always makes a difference. The owner, Marco, spoke to us at the table... he is a great host. Small touches like these make all the difference!

Wonderful atmosphere with lovely Chandeliers & great lighting. Food was really yummy. A bit pricey, $30/plate, but good food. My only down side was they had no option for a SESAME seed Free bun for my son who has that allergy.

The food in the atmosphere was wonderful. On a Saturday night we had to wait an hour and a half for our dinner though. I’m not sure what happened there. It might not have been the servers fault. He did apologize. I would’ve wanted to know the reason.

Understaffed. While the food was good and had a nice price point, it was served cold and soggy. Owner, seat only the amount of people that your staff can support.

We made reservations for two. We were seated at a small two top in the busiest passage of the service floor. There were plenty of empty tables during our visit. Our server was friendly and engaged. We ordered a bottle of wine, an artichoke salad with shrimp added and a flank steak special. The wine service was great. When the entrees came out the shrimp had a strong, foul odor that I noticed. It was my wife’s entree. She said she was glad I mentioned it and agreed that she was not inclined to eat it. The server was kind about listening and taking the bad smelling plate away. The front of house manager then came to our table and said that there was nothing wrong with the plate but would we like tonirder something else. My wife ordered a hamburger. He asked “what temperature?” She said medium. My steak dinner was getting cold, my wife encouraged me to dig in. It was good flank steak well done and over salted with about a pound of whipped mashed potatoes on the side. Oddly, there was a puddle of Italian dressing on the plate. But maybe that’s a style thing. The hamburger arrived and it was well done.y wife’s burger arrived with some lovely fried potatoes. The burger was well done. I flagged down the front of house manager and asked for a plate for the bun that my wife did not want to eat, and some mustard for my wife’s burger. The request was graciously acknowledged. half the burger later and the buns on the table, I flagged down another server and asked for mustard. Minutes later, mustard was brought to our table. they didn’t charge us for the stinky shrimp/artichoke salad. This is our third adventure at oblo. They are consistently bad at table service. The bar is excellent. The wine list is pretty good. The menu always looks promising. The front of house management is consistently bad. The execution of the menu is inconsistent, and sometimes dangerous- in my opinion.
