The same people that run the restaurant catered our wedding, so my wife and I stopped in for their pop up bruch over the weekend. The food was amazing! Our server was friendly and attentive. Though, being their first brunch service, we could tell they were still "working out the kinks". My wife and I will absolutely return in the future for brunch. Tip: When they put the cream cheese and cranberry scones out, grab 2 and thank me later!

I recently spent a wonderful evening here for my daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner. We had the place to ourselves, including the outdoor patio on either side of the entrance way steps as well as the bar. The food and drinks were great and the service was impeccable, and it was a nice change to observe the street scene from above. The adjacent (pay) parking lot was very welcome, making the trip downtown much easier than expected.

Great conversion of older bldg into bar/restaurant. Nice happy hour food spread, great service at the bar from Jessica. This place does a lot of exclusive private events so be sure to check if it is open. Generally open on Tuesdays.

Had our wedding here. Perfect vibe and decor. Everyone was laid back and easy to work with, the staff was great, and the food tasty. It was also very reasonable. I highly recommend if you want to host a casual, cool, and funky wedding.

I attended a private party event for a family member here and had an excellent time. The food and the atmosphere were amazing. Their barstaff were very fast and friendly. The tall ceilings bring back some back memories of some older city bars in Chicago. I also really dig the decor.

We hosted a rehearsal dinner at OCB in November 2016. The OCB staff was very helpful as I was planning from long distance. They have a flexible, and diverse menu and they were very patient with me as we tried to find a good combination of offerings for our group. Try the mac n cheese. Divine! Food was all delicious. Great atmosphere too.
