    We dined there for two birthdays and requested a table by the window which they accommodated. It was a bit cramped for 6 but we managed. The prime rib steak and cheese bread were excellent. The serve was a bit rushed as well as our meal.

    Restaurant was overbooked and under staffed. Our waiter was hustling doing the best he could be was assigned too many tables to give good service. Not his fault he should have had help but he was not provided any. Service was slow kitchen was slow and not the best experience

    Great views. Initially sat us at a table that was tilted so badly but we asked and they moved us to a better table. Good service. It was a busy night. The food is subpar for the price. Really feel like you’re paying for the views/vibe.

    I recently stopped by OCMC for a date night after hearing good things about the food and location in general. First off the location is up this winding road which is VERY sketchy when there is more than one car. Take your time! Upon arriving the location hits all the marks with ambiance and we were welcomed by the staff before being taken to our table. The service was prompt and pleasant which of course is very nice. We ordered drinks, apps and our main. One thing I thought was very thoughtful was as I said we ordered apps and steaks for our mains. The apps were delivered and after some time the waiter came back and asked if we were ready for the to “fire” our steaks so they would be cooked right before they were brought to us. Very thoughtful. The food was delicious and we both were very happy with the experience overall. No doubt we will be back and recommending OMCM to all who ask.

    Lauren was extremely helpful and polite. Food was amazing. We got there at 830. There was no soups. They were all gone at that time. Only downside
