| - Two of my managers treated me out to lunch at O&B Cafe Grill today.
The reason why it only gets 3 stars, is because it is incredibly loud. If you want to sit down and be able to have a conversation without having to enunciate and scream, then this is not the place to go. It felt more like a Bar/Lounge on a Friday night as opposed to a lunch on a weekday afternoon. The reason why this restaurant is so sound-reflective is probably because of all the hardwood furnishings, and a tall, open ceiling.
I ordered the Portobello Burger which came with your choice of sides (Salad, Soup or Fries). I opted for the Onion Soup. I like my soup piping hot, and when my order came, the soup was just slightly warm. The cheese was a little bit too stringy and I found myself having to use my napkin many times to prevent the awkward spider-web-cheese-hanging-from-your-lip situation from occurring. The burger was flavourful, served with tomato, lettuce, sun-dried tomato goat's cheese and pesto oil, but again, it was barely warm. We also ordered a plate of fries for the table. I found that they were not crispy enough, and the spiced aioli was nothing special. Just felt like mayo mixed with Tobasco sauce.
To finish I ordered a cappuccino and with everything else that came to the table today, again not hot enough. I also found their cappuccino to be a bit on the weak side.
At the end of the day, I learned that I have two very generous managers - however, I would probably not come back here again... Considering the wide array of restaurants in the area, this would not be at the top of my list.
