    O'Leary's never disappoints. There is a reason it has been around for so long. Excellent service, food, and drinks. Thomas paid close attention to every detail. My wife and I shared the Pupusas, which were excellent. The flavor of the corn tortillas really came through. We split the crab cakes, which were very good. The fingerling potatoes in warm bacon vinaigrette might be the best I've ever had. We also got the Brussels sprouts, which were excellent. We were both full but had a hard time stopping. Our drinks were amazing. I had the Pan Cake (bourbon with maple simple syrup), and my wife had the Foam Gimlet. Both drinks are worth the trip, even without dinner.

It was just that….the staff - amazing. The food - amazing. The ambiance - amazing. The valet service - amazing. Literally no complaints about this restaurant. The dessert - amazing! We will visit again soon.

    Had the best valentines lunch here. The calamari was very good and not too breaded. The seafood pasta with rose sauce was the absolute best pasta I have ever had and I’ve been to Italy. Everyone should go here and enjoy the best Italian food.
