First experience at Obelix with a 5:30 pm (early) reservation. We enjoyed well-prepared cocktails and a couple glasses of pricey but excellent French wines. Tried a couple appetizers and then the roasted black cod and ribeye entrees. Finished with one dessert and a coffee. Atmosphere was festive, but became extremely noisy toward the end of our dinner. I could see having a nice time over a drink at the bar, but this is not a restaurant to enjoy a quiet intimate dinner (at least on a Friday evening). Steak was well-prepared. The au poivre sauce was excellent. Fries were very meh. Cod was a bit over-sauced and the flavors not distinct. Overall, we give credit to an ambitious menu and we will likely return for the prix-fixe lunch or for drinks at the bar.

Casual gathering with friends, first time for me and return customers for my friends. I got some expectations on this restaurant since it’s been talked so much, but the tasting was okay, standard quality. We ordered all foie gras one bite dishes, the base were too chewy that you’ve already finished foie gras and you’d have to continue chewy the rest, which was imbalanced for a complete design. As for the famous Wellington, portions were big enough for family sharing, but mushroom sauce should be more attached, steak itself was good and tender, but performance of puff pastry was too wet. I’ll return for its pastry box or brunch for another chance.

This restaurant was excellent. The food, service and ambiance were just right! I asked our waiter if a particular wine was going to be worth the price and she confidently said yes, the wine was excellent along with the good. My guests enjoyed the experience dinning here.
