   My pet peeve is servers clear diners one at a time as they finish. Please wait until all guests are finished eating please.

   Found that the food took way too long to come out. This was prime lunch time, and took too long. Typically for lunch, people have to get back to work. It took about an hour for us to get our meal.

   Everything was fine. Service was on the slow side, food was unremarkable but no complaints, pricy for what it was but not unusual these days. Nice big patio for summer dining, great central location.

    The food was exceptionally good but a little overpriced for my budget. The menu was very limited but it wasn't too difficult to find something that appealed to our taste palettes. My son ordered the Salmon Poke bowl and I had the Margherita pizza. We shared our meals as both were generous portions. The bowl was delicious and the pizza was very authentic....very Italian. I don't eat out a lot but we were going to a show at Massey Hall so it was very much a nice treat for me so I didn't mind spending as much as I did. My son also ordered the Espresso Martini and let me have a taste....absolutely to die for! I would have ordered one for myself but I'm sure the caffeine content would have been too much for me so I stuck with the wine. As long as you're fine with the prices and limited menu, I would recommend this place and try to get an outside table. It just makes for a much better atmosphere and even with the traffic, it beats the noise of the indoor din. Not to mention that it was excellent service. No long waits for food or drinks...very prompt

    Can’t such much great.. We saw “our” server twice through the meal. Exceptionally inattentive. Maybe her section was too big? But we were there from 12:30-2. Lunch for 3 adults and 2 kids. Food was mediocre at best. No one once asked us how things were. 3 Things we ordered never arrived. I received the wrong wine - no one once checked. No top up of water. No attention to the cutlery that fell on the floor; and to this, I am EXCEPTIONALLY forgiving as I have small children who do drop things, but I actually had to go and poach things for our table from the patio server station TWICE - this a I am sure - is on video, so it can’t be rebutted. I worked in hospitality management prior to transitioning out through covid. Very disappointing experience for the $266 I paid for a lack-lustre lunch. Will never return or recommend to friends/colleagues who want something in the area.

    It appears we went for dinner on a quiet night. Even though, some of the simple things were forgotten. Dinner to 2 was set for 4. Waited a king time for the bottle of wine to arrive. Otherwise the food for very good.

    Decided to go out spur the moment and haven’t been here since they originally opened. I had told my son about the Mac and cheese and it was just the same as I remembered! Our table had that, fish & chips, the lamb shank and steak salad. Wings, oysters and empanadas for apps and chocolate ganache, apple crumble and mango sorbet for dessert. All was fabulous and to die for. However our server Jules was the cherry on top. She was quick, efficient and attentive without hovering. She was absolutely delightful and probably one of the best servers I’ve had in years. Definitely made our experience top notch. A bit pricey for a family of 4 to do frequently but definitely an indulgent treat now and again. Thanks O&B!

    We had a very nice Anniversary and pre-playoffs dinner and O&B was the perfect central spot, close to the ScotiaBank and an easy walk. The hosts were very accommodating with table selection and wait staff were attentive even snapping some photos for us. The food and drinks were delicious. I would suggest a more flexible oyster offer for non-wine drinkers and more happy hour options please.

    A good neighbourhood location to get a nice meal. Service was excellent from arrival to service to departure. Food was tasty and well prepared. Appreciated that our server let our table stay and chat instead of rushing us out after eating. Will definitely go back.

    I haven’t been here since the start of the pandemic and although I quite enjoyed this place previously I can’t say the food was great. I had fish and chips that were straight out of a bag. Very basic and uninspired. Disappointed. I hope you bring back your great food.

    Sadly, not unlike many restaurants coming back after Covid, this was a disappointing food experience for me. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing but I was keeping it light a chicken Caesar salad. Portion size of chicken was good, but taste chicken was bland and salad was just meh. No better than the ones you get pre-maid at major grocery stores. For $30+ dollars, I expected more. Our server was great, and the wine was great, it's a nice ambiance but food was very underwhelming. The person that ordered the butter chicken seemed to enjoy it?!

    Came here for a pre show dinner on Saturday of Easter Weekend. This used to be a higher end restaurant, but it seems that the menu has changed to be more basic, but still with high prices. Place wasn’t really busy, so it was surprising that the waiter wasn’t very attentive. Food was good. In particular, empanadas and spring rolls were great. Pizzas were our mains and the Margherita pizzas were well received. Diavolo, not so much. The sauce drizzled on the top was way too spicy. Didn’t bother with desserts. Waiter seemed over his head. Barely checked in. Never asked if we wanted more cocktails and didn’t refill water until after he cleared our plates. May try some other OandB restaurants, but won’t be back here.

    Another great dinner at O and B Front Street! We started with two appetizers-Noonie’s spring rolls and tempura shrimp - both were tasty and piping hot. We had the Thai red curry, fish and chips and the All Dressed Up burger with fries for entrees. All were delicious. For dessert, we had the carrot cake, which is always A+. I tried an Easter dessert called Easter Nest , which was a tart filled with 55% Belgian chocolate. It was made to resemble a nest with chocolate Easter eggs. It was out of this world!!! Service was excellent, as usual and we were greeted warmly, as always. From the gentleman at the front desk to the servers, everyone goes out of their way to ensure you have an enjoyable dining experience. We will definitely be returning!
