    Service was wonderful. Food was good. Had wonderful memories of a great meal there a couple of years ago. Memories were better than actual meal this time.

    The food was excellent! Loved the oyster Rockefeller and the French onion soup. The fillet mignon and the surf and turf were delicious.

    I attended O Brien’s for my birthday the food was excellent and we received our food fast The service was ok our server was pleasant but left us unattended after taking our order. She did not return to check if we needed our beverage refilled. Had to ask management who came by to help us I ordered a coffee with dessert and when it came it was a mess overfilled dripping down the cup to the pint of not being able to even pick it up very sloppy again manager took care of the problem not our server Did not bring my husband’s coffee or dessert until well after it was ordered. I will say the manager was very helpful with fixing our issues Overall the manager did more for us than our server which was a good thing Perhaps she was having issues handling her tables. Overall a good meal
