We came here because of the great reviews. The server was great, and the bartender was great, but the food was absolutely disgusting. I was so shocked. I could have made the dishes better myself instead of paying $40 per dish. Such a shame. I was physically sick less than 6 hours after eating. Both meals ordered by the party were bad. The bartender was very nice and tried to fix it, but we asked for the check and left after paying. If the prices had been $10-$15 for what we got, I wouldn't have even been bothered and classed it as a one and done, but when you're paying that much for plates and go to a restaurant such as this one, there should not be any fixing needed. It should be great food, and it wasn't just one bad dish. Both dishes were bad.

Such a nice ambiance. Servers were attentive and food came quickly. There was so many pastas to choose from there's definitely something for everybody. I kinda got decision paralysis from the options but I got the squid ink pasta (spaghetti Neri) and loved it. I think it tasted the best out of our group's dishes and was complex and delicious although the tagliolini Al funghi was a close second. My partner got the short rib ravioli and we both didn't really like it. It was quite salty in some bites and lacked savory-ness in others. We didn't get to try appetizers or try the cheese wheel as we went on a Tuesday but will definitely come back to try those ! Overall we had a great time. Also for parking there's free parking in the garage and this place is located in the hotel.

Great experience…even on a holiday! This place was practically empty on Easter. Everywhere else was booked completely, but I had heard about OM from a friend recently, so we decided to give it a try. Food was amazing, service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was calm and inviting. Would definitely return for special occasions, or just about any occasion.

Had another great experience for Easter brunch. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. It’s a great neighborhood place. Love coming here for happy hour too—great apps! Just wish the bar area was a little larger. Have also done wine and did pairings here. It was a tremendous experience.

We drove 3 hours for a birthday event and when we got there, the waiter never mentioned anything about only having the table for 2 hours and didn’t mention we only had 30 minutes left because we wouldn’t have ordered and was then told to move to the bar. First of all you don’t know anyone’s religion to offer the bar that’s disrespectful then Julia the manager is going to say we need y’all to get they have been waiting 30 minutes like we were made aware of this situation and we knew they were standing out there. The food was disgusting, Olive Garden is better and I’m a very good food critique and I’m fair. Service sucks and food was terrible. Do better when you expect people to pay $100 dollars for pasta, crab cakes, and a salad with no drinks. Ruth Chris is on your level of prices but the service and food is a-1. With bad service like that I’ll never be back nor return because that was absolutely ridiculous and to be racially profiled also to top it off was beyond us. STAY CLEAR AND DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY, you’ll thank me later!

I guess you have to dine in to get appropriate portions verses delivery. They gave me paper thin slices of eggplant parmx5 slices and you could not taste the eggplant just the cheese plus got the Caesar salad 14$ but I got 5-7 $ worth of salad. I won’t order delivery again from there. Not worth the price due to the portions. It tasted ok not great.
