New Year’s Eve dinner for 2. The appetizers were tasty and well prepared: charred octopus and crudo. Everything went south right after. The entrees : beef Skewer and chicken skewer. Both came out as 1 skewer on a large plate, no side but that’s ok because we ordered a side of fries. Both the beef and the chicken were hard as a rock that I could’ve thrown them against the wall! So dry and overcooked , actually the beef was burnt. For $33 per skewer it was so sad! Then the highlight of the evening: a waiter (not the one who was serving us) brought out a small chocolate cake or brownie , not sure as we didn’t order it . It was a mistake. It was in our table for 3-4 minutes as our waitress was lecturing the waiter about how he cant count and brought it to the wrong table. We were chatting with the table next to us so we didn’t say anything or even touch it, but what if we had? What if we tried it or sneezed on it? This idiot takes the cake away and brings it to another table. Disgusting , never coming back. Kitchen is challenged and the staff is oblivious. The place was mostly empty, so they weren’t overwhelmed wjth the number of guests.

This is my fourth time enjoying a sunset at O&S I’d like to believe the main chef was off to a nice vacation because the food lacked the consistency of my previous three visits. A shame because the place has an amazing location…..None of our dishes had the quality nor flavor nor presentation that had impressed me and my guest

my partner and I took my parents here for dinner. Great view with excellent Mediterranean cuisine. Very friendly staff and excellent ambiance. I highly recommend this place. We had the octopus, fried artichokes, falafel, lamb kebab, steak kebab, fried halloumi, and snapper. everything was delicious! We will definitely be back!

The Monday crowd was lively at the bar for MNF, but our server Kervenson and the runners made the experience delightful. Food came out timely and hot on hot plates. Everything tasted amazing, and I'll certainly recommend and return.
