| - After reading a few reviews, I was ready for some steak and frites. Fortunately for me, OFB is just a few minutes away from my home. It is right next to a Starbucks in a small mall. I was confused for a second, because the Starbucks drive through wraps around the whole building and was thinking, "They have a drive through?" :)
Walking through the door, OFB did a great job using a small space. It has a nice little bar, a few tables well spaced out, and well decorated. It was a full house, so I grabbed a seat at the bar.
The bartender (who I think is the owner) was very nice and took my order of the Bavette a L'echalotte. While I was waiting, they brought out a baguette and butter. It was okay, but nothing to write home about.
The Bavette a L'echalotte was okay. I had asked for medium, but it was served well done. The steak was also quite small. It was seasoned well, but just overcooked and not much of it. The shallot sauce it came with was great, and the frites were good too.
For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse which was rich and creamy.
Overall, it was okay but was hoping for more. I'm not sure if I would go back.
