Our last experience at Oblivion Bar & Kitchen was terrible. We waited over 90mins for our meal and when it arrived, it was not what we ordered. It was annoying because we were the ONLY couple upstairs for the full almost 2 hours we were there. The kitchen could not have been busy. We thought it was unfair to dismiss a restaurant after 1 poor experience and considered that maybe it was just an off day and gave it another try.

Today, we tried again and as with the last time, the kitchen was very slow. It felt terrible to watch our waiter getting annoyed with the kitchen, trying to get our order out because it was not his fault that it took as long as it did.

We were the only patrions downstairs when we arrived. The floor was not busy at all. There was 1 other customer downstairs with us who arrived after we sat down.

If the place was packed, I would fully understand a long wait time but outside of the 2 of us, there was 1 other couple downstairs.

Eventually, we had to leave and our meal was still not ready. Even though we did not ask for assistance, 3 staff members asked if they could help which was really nice of them but we still had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for the bill (we asked several times).

As we headed to the door, the manager asked if we would accept our meal on the house as it was being boxed. We accepted.

To be fair, the waiters/waitresses are super nice (especially the first young lady who walked up to us, asking if she could be of assistance) and very attentive. We appreciate that. The manager is also very hands on, professional, friendly and approachable.

I think it's a really good place if you don't mind the wait.
