Service was a bit slow when ordering drinks/food. They would take our orders for drinks but never follow up or come back to ask if we wanted food until at least an hour later. Our server also switched midway through our stay.

Drinks were impeccable, particularly the clarified paloma and the celery martini. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Service was impeccable and the design with the giraffe motif was gorgeous. Great vibes and beautiful and dressed up crowd.

Obvio is by far my favorite new spot of the year! The drinks were refreshing and the burger was to die for. Excellent vibes as well - lots of gals taking photos which was fun and encouraged me to take some of my own :) Service was great as well. Highly recommend!!
