    Obvio was chic, elegant yet fun. We walked in and I thought I had made the reservation for 8pm but it was actually 9pm. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. The vibes were immaculate. The most perfect date night spot with insane interior design. I felt as if we had transported to the future. The passion fruit cocktail is a must! As well, with the delicious guacamole. Will be returning here :)

    Bathroom was messy, drinks were good not great. Menu was limited because we got there after 10pm which was disappointing since we wanted cocktails and they narrowed the menu to 2-3.

    It was an ok experience! I was looking forward to going here but the location is honestly a bit random. The service as mentioned was AWFUL and slow. The food is ok. Drinks are overly sweet. Overall an ok experience.

    hostess was incredibly rude, made multiple backhanded comments about us going over the time limit for our table, despite us waiting 30+ minutes for each round of drinks
