| - After a toasty morning at the dog park, my friends and our two pups stopped by OHSO for beers and Sunday brunch. For starters, we've been going to the OHSO in Arcadia for years and absolutely love it there. So naturally I was super excited when this location opened up much closer to home. The restaurant itself is huge and gorgeous, with ample patio space and free treats for all our furry kids. And it was definitely a toasty day, but they had enough shade and fans going that it was really nice to be outside. We got there around noon on a Sunday and it was about an hour wait for our party of four, which seems pretty average for Sunday brunch. The hostesses were so sweet and filled up bowls of cold water for our pups, and even wrote their names on the bowls. They have a little separate patio area with adirondacks and ping pong where we chilled while waiting for our table to be ready. My friend Jake went up to the bar to snag some drinks while we were waiting, and was given the cold shoulder a few times by the bartender before he finally flagged her down.
You can definitely tell this is a new restaurant and they're still working out the kinks, though everyone (other than the aforementioned bartender) was very nice. Our server Dani was super friendly and knowledgeable, and made some awesome recommendations. She brought us little tasters of new brews that she thought we'd be interested in, loved on our puppies, and checked on us regularly - she is such a gem! There was a lady at a neighboring table that was super demanding and not so friendly (maybe she was just hangry, who knows?) and she handled it like a true pro.
They were out of the OHSO Hoppy at our visit, but we subbed in a grapefruit IPA that definitely hit the spot! I had my staple AZ Burger and sweet potato fries, and it was just as perfect as the one at OHSO proper. I don't know where they get their burger buns, but I'd be permanently in a carb coma if I had those laying around. And speaking of carb coma, I'd definitely recommend getting an order of the donut holes for the table.
Just little nitpicky things since the restaurant is new -
- The metal tables with the swivel trays on the back patio weren't completely finished. My friend TJ accidentally cut himself when he reached under to pet the pup. Nothing big, but an easy fix. Same goes for the bare nails attaching the wooden planks to the back of the patio benches.
- They kept wheeling a large black trash / bus tub through the patio area. Maybe big trays would be better?
- There were a ton of people smoking just outside the patio entrance, right by the ping pong tables. I'm pretty sure there's a law requiring people to be a reasonable distance from an entrance.
I'll probably still make the trek to OHSO Arcadia and give them a few months to work out the kinks. But still, a great addition to DT Gilbert!
