Always enjoyed our time at OVP and the quality of their cocktails is consistent when the owner Alfred is around. We like the Japanese vibe but knowing that their menu is going to change in Jan/25 to Mexican and Korean focus.

Chill vibes and cool drinks. Isn't that what it's all about? Food was decent. Could use a bit more creativity on pairings but overall a pleasant night out with the missus.

Food was horrible. One of the female servers was cold and unfriendly. Wasn’t attentive to us at all. The food is very average. But it’s a nice vibe and the cocktails are yummy.

Great brunch. Slightly different take on some classics with a Japanese flair. Excellent cocktails and beautiful patio. Slightly more on the expensive side but very nice.
