Oba is good but overhyped 7/5/2006

We went to this restaurant with some very rave reviews from some other people. It didn't really live up to the reputation. The decor is nice, with splashy colors and trendy wall decorations, but the seating arrangement of the tables leaves a little to be desired. You are very close to the other tables and can hear and watch everything your table neighbor is doing/eating. The waitstaff was friendly to us, including the bartender, where we waited because we were early for our reservation. The food was a bit of a disappointment, with small portions and hefty price tags. My boyfriend ordered the flank steak everyone raves about and it came so undercooked it was cold in the middle. This is a man who eats meat so rare that it still moos. If you want a rare steak, order it medium rare. I had a spicy tuna dish that was pretty good, but definately overwhelmed by the spices that were used. I couldn't taste anything but spice and I wanted to taste some fish (since it's what I ordered!). The cocktails here are some of the best and most unique in town, even though they have strange ingredients, they went down smooth. Pros: Great drinks, cool decor Cons: very overpriced for the portion sizes more
