| - i honestly thought about 3 stars, but the view itself bumped it up to 4 stars.
We decided to stop by OTB on Saturday evening. Unfortunately there was an hour wait and someone left their phone in my car. We decided to leave and return the phone rather than having the person wait 2 hours on their phone. We headed back Sunday evening for dinner but this time used the No Wait app (they do not take reservations)
The patio seating with the lake as the backdrop is absolutely beautiful!! I would honestly recommend trying here just for the view.
For dinner, I was stuck between the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. Bobby decided to get the shrimp & i decided to get the fish. We both ordered fries as our side & i also ordered a side salad since i was craving one.
Bobby ordered the McCandeless.. which was OTB's version of a Moscow Mule. it was tart, but very delicious. i only tried a few sips even though i would've LOVEDDD a drink on the patio, but im anti drinking & driving. I told bobby next time he has to play DD lol
There are a few reasons why i initially wanted to rate 3 stars. Our service was not the best. First, it took him awhile to greet us.. in his defense he seemed busy and told us twice he'll be over in a moment. He apologized and it wasn't too big of a deal-- we were enjoying the view and checking out the menu. However, during our meal service was still spotty. No extra napkins, no refills ect. They may have been understaffed. I only noticed 2 servers on the patio taking orders so maybe that is the reason. Another reason for thinking of 3 stars is the menu really isnt too big. It has nice options (appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches) but it just didnt have too many options. It is a burger bar so i'll give i'll forgive it for not having a ton of entrees.
Anyways, the atmosphere made up for everything. This would be an awesome date night or birthday dinner.. just for the views alone. Kayaking is offered right next to the restaurant and it was fun to watch the kayakers. We thought about it, but i was in my not-so-comfy church clothes and we decided to stop back another time. Also, after dinner if you want to stay and enjoy the scenery, OTB offers lots of chairs on the patio to sit and enjoy a drink after dinner.
Note: My friend gave a huge thumbs up on their sunday brunch.
