After my original Yelp review, I was contacted by the manager who asked for feedback about my previous (not so great) experiences here. He personally invited me to come back and give OHSO a try again. So, I pulled together a happy hour with about 7 of my beer drinking buddies and off we went.
The good: The service was better and our orders were all correct. +1 star from my last review.
The "eh": I just do not understand why the service is so slow here. We came early (4:30) and stayed until about 7:00 or so on a Friday evening. It was actually pretty slow at first, then definitely more hopping, but not jam packed. It took forever to get beers and half the time the beers were warm when they got to us?? Weird.
I appreciated the conversation with the manager, who also introduced himself in person when we returned. He's definitely making an effort and it sounds like they are interested in being a hangout for locals, which is cool. As I said before, I think the concept of OHSO is great, the beers are amazing, the food is delicious... it's my hope that the service will continue to improve. If it does, this could definitely become a favorite hang-out.
