    The chicken pot pie was delicious, big enough to feed two people. French onion soup had plenty of onions done just right and we liked the entree sized house salad. A great lunch for two people priced under $55 including the 4% surcharge for back-of-house staff. The vibes from staff— servers, expediters, hostess and bartender — were all very positive

    We had a wonderful experience at O&Ps. The food was outstanding, particularly the Gorgonzola/Pear Butternut squash. The server was very helpful and took great pain to make sure all was well. We were personally greeted by both owners. I can't recommend this any higher.
