        We were so excited to try OEG from several recommendations from friends. The experience wasn’t great. Service was slow and not attentive. We never got asked if we’d like more wine or if they could bring us more water. My husband had to get up to get extra water and silverware for us. The restaurant was very pretty but overall the experience wasn’t what expected.

        The food here is very delicious and carefully prepared. Reservations are a must most of the time since it is very popular with tourists and people working nearby. It is not inexpensive but it’s a wonderful experience. The decor is elegant, especially the bar in back.
