Only Mexican style food I have yet to find in PDX. Freshly made quac at your table! Must try stuffed jalape�±os. Bit pricey...
Fabulous Steaks. We have been to Oba 3 times now, and every Filet was savory and amazing. They change the preperation frequently so we had different styles each time which makes it easy to go back and see what's next. The staff are friendly and know the menu inside and out. You do want reservations a week or so ahead of time, but if you don't mind the Bar area, you can walk-in and hope for a table there too. Love it!…
Good Happy Hour. I have mixed feelings about Oba. Some of it was very tasty. Some not so much. The table made guacamole really is worth the money but my fish tasted a little old (and by a little, I mean as in "a little pregnant") and my drink could have used a little less sugar. But it's a hopping place and I wouldn't mind trying it again (just probably sticking to beer and things that have a longer shelf life than fish).…
Great food. Odd experience.. The good news is that the food is as tasty as ever. The bad news is that the service was confused at best. 2 of us showed up on a Friday night at 8:45 and wanted to sit in the dining room so we could converse and avoid the loud music and crowd in the bar. We were sat at a booth and immediately made aware by our waiter that we were clearly her last table and were interfering with her plans to get done with work. At first we only ordered a few things and she was clearly irritated that we weren't spending more money so she avoided our table. Our water glasses were always empty and we had to order a second round of drinks from someone that seemed to be a manager. The soup came but we had no spoons. Thankfully the food runner noticed (with a sigh that said he was irritated with the server) and provided us with some. Once we realized we were still hungry and ordered more food and one more drink from a busser, then our waiter was suddenly *very* interested in our table, as our bill kept climbing. The last five minutes of our meal we received incredible service. It's too bad that we were left high and dry for the previous hour, having to flag her or anyone down for everything we wanted or needed.…
yummmy food and drinks. LOVED the passion fruit mojito's... I can't wait to go back and have another. The food was also very good. Our server was great and not snuddy (which you can get sometimes in the pearl)
