They FINALLY brought back the lobster mac n cheese!!!!! Althought its a bit pricey ($19) it is worth EVERY PENNY. The drinkd are really affordable too especially if you come for happy hour (1/2 off). The owners Thomas and Michael hang out all the time and are super cool and funny.

  • Pros: good looking crowd
  • Cons: parking

Its a place to chill. It is nice, but comfortable. they decor is really pretty and the staff is down to earth. Also, they have a forbidden garden that is really pretty. All the food is pretty basic that they make a little special.

We had our Wedding Reception at O-Bar and everything was wonderful. The fun-loving Management ensured that every detail was complete; the staff was attentive, the drinks and appetizers were perfect! Our loved ones had a fantastic time. We could not have asked for a better location or atmosphere or experience! Thank you Billie & O-Bar!

  • Pros: Great indoor areas and decor; great outdoor area and firepit; wonderful staff

Probably the best restaurant in WeHo that caters to the gay crowd. High quality food and cooking with high (but not outrageous) prices to match. Very busy on Thursdays; also very loud and crowded at the bar.

Been a couple times for dinner and it's usually all very good. Great steak. Good short ribs. Good fish.

Ambiance is nice, except when it's overrun by the gelled-up, professional (read: 30yr+) homo-set.

Great outdoor seating area in front, but gets smokey fast. Great customer service every time I have been.

  • Pros: good food
  • Cons: overcrowded sometimes

My last few visits to O-Bar have me leaving say, gee, "that was great". There were 6 of us, we got a fun cabana booth and although these table are a little awkward for staff and sorta isolate you from fun scene they do make for a cozy semi-private dinner with good friends (just don't take boring people with you!). Our waiter was great, the support staff very attentive. 2 of us got the Salmon, aske for it on the rare side and it was cooked perfectly...just melted in the mouth. 2 guys got the tuna and seemed happy but the real star was the mussels, or really the creamy sauce they came it. Everyone was dipping bread and frites into the sause.....wow!

On our way out I want to tell the host was a great time we had but they were busy seating people....hope they read this cuz we were most grateful.

  • Pros: fun setting and great food, cool decor
  • Cons: before it gets dark outside the lighting in the space it a little off.

I met a few friends at O-Bar the other night. I live very close to the restaurant, but had never been. I was warmly greeted at the door and immediately shown to my table, where my friends were waiting. I had my drink order taken within minutes- the Mojito's are amazing! The waiter was also very informative about the wine's they offered by the glass.

The food was sensational. The burrata appetizer melts in your mouth. We had a special with beet's that was out of this world. The chef is truly a genius...I won't be surprised if he joins the ranks of other top celebrity chef's around the globe, as he continues to perfect his artful craft of cooking.

I left O-Bar with only one disappointment...that I had not been to this amazing restaurant before now, when I have lived 3 blocks away for nearly a year.

I would recommend O-Bar to everyone. Whether you are planning a romantic date night, a family dinner or a gathering of friends, it is impossible not to have a spectacular evening!

I always choose a pretty fun place for my birthday dinner, O-Bar was no different. I dined here for my birthday last year (august 07- to be exact) with a large group, more than 10...like 15. They accommodated us just fine. Patient with the pickey's, prompt food delivery as one of my guests had to leave early, helped us dessert options, and great suggestions all around. The server and the host was friendly. It's movie night on Sunday's...Young Frankenstein was on! All around I was very pleased! Do make a reservation, try not to get expedited service on a saturday as this is the busiest day, especially with groups. We did a sunday and this was fine.

  • Pros: Cocktails, Tuna Tartar, Desserts, Wine Room is lovely, The back garden is beautiful
  • Cons: 1 bathroom stall thingie going on,
