“ Franchises differ in quality, but OB tends towards higher quality wherever you go. This branch, however, delivers unequivocal perfection every time. This was not the first time we’ve enjoyed their offering, but the supreme quality of our meal tonight prompted the writing of this review. The seared salmon salad: crisp, delightful. The oysters: fresh, flavourful. The mussels: plump, aromatic. The calamari: perfectly cooked, great texture. The prawns: uniform in size, delicious. Mr. SK and the other managers are doing great quality control on the food and service. Our waitress Ms. Talent was generous, attentive, and accommodating. It felt like a fine dining experience. This is the best OB in town. Hands down. ”
