I and my wife love this place! We eat there as often as we can as it is a very authentic Brazilian dining experience. I read a review that said "Avoid at all costs", but the reviewer was certainly looking for an "American" dining experience. Carbs? YES! There had better be! I want wonderfully cooked meat and I get it there. I want rice and beans... I get it there. Best of all: It is no where NEARLY as expensive as the popular Brazilian restaurants. Oba caters to local Brazilians or Amercians who are looking for authentic Brazilian cuisine and people, not the "trendy" people looking for a great wine list to go with their "ambiance".
I suggest that if you want absolutely GREAT FOOD at a price you can live with, this is where you want to go.
If you want Pierre to serve you your merlot next to your hand stuffed low-cal and low-carb manicotti before you get to your tiramisu and cordial, you might not want to eat at Oba, but...
If you want GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT SERVICE and most of all, GREAT BRAZILIAN food: EAT AT OBA!
I have had the honor of speaking with the new owner as he continues to transform the place into a cleaner and brighter environment for his diners, I can say that he is very proud of what he has in that restaurant and it shows when you walk in the door.
I highly recommend Oba to anyone wanting Brazilian cuisine at a realistic price. You just can't beat it!
See you there!
Pros: Price, Service, Food Quality and Selection, Great People!
Cons: Not your "trendy" upscale place (if that is what you are looking for).
