Sal was OOO but everything ran perfectly as usual. :-). Nick K was awesome man! Just had another great dinner. Good value and enjoyed takehome the next day for my NFL watching with my Odeum gourmet Bifteka lunch! Still wish I took a pizza2Go; next time. Kitchen was timely and food temp and course serving timing was perfect again. Thanks again Nick!!

Josh the bartender made us some amazing cocktails and the food was so delicious! It was my girlfriend's birthday and the restaurant made her birthday very special! Thank you Marite Marlow

Delicious food - reasonable prices for a high-end dining experience. Great service! Always a great place to celebrate any birthday, anniversary or just for a wonderful evening out!

The crack bread alone gets them 5 stars! My wife and I shared the eggplant carbonara and the shaved Brussels sprout salad. The eggplant was superb. We've had the salad many times. Last night it was not quite up to par. Too much lemon and not enough dressing. Entrees were superb. My wife ordered the chicken and waffles. Always tasty. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. I've had a lot of sea bass in different places. Odeum's Chilean sea bass is the best with the soy ginger glaze that carmelizes and it was perfectly prepared.

The owner, Salvatore permitted our dining at the restaurant after calling to inform him we were running late. We were the only ones in the restaurant and after a long day the staff were still energetic and committed to receiving our order and served an extraordinary and savory culinary experience. The food was outstanding as was the experience with Salvatore and staff. If you desire to celebrate a special event along with a delicious dining experience then I recommend Odeum as the go to place.

Nick was a great and attentive server. Sal always makes us feel welcome and put us in the newly remodeled room with a cozy fireplace. Mediterranean salad and the pizzas are my favorite. They also have lots of mocktails on the menu. Great experience

We made a 4:40 PM reservation in order to partake in the Happy Hour specials. We arrived right on time. We were initially greeted by a young lady outside and she ushered us in and said Happy Hour was beginning. The interior receptionist took us to our table and handed us menus. I asked for Happy Hour specials and she said there wasn't going to be Happy Hour. So we sat down and soon met our waiter. Right off the bat he told us that none of the dinner specials were being offered either. We ordered ice tea and appetizers. We never were offered refills of our tea. we paid and left without ordering dinner.

service was good, food was excellent. very loud indoors, and tables very close to each other (super tight) also, entrance for wheelchair is not marked in any way, we got lost for 5 minutes and ended up going through kitchen. honestly it shouldn't be that difficult to mark a path. overall a nice evening.
Jeffrey
We were greeted by Salvatore upon entering. Hosted and wait staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Food, as always, was exceptional.

Made a reservation, and the hostesses welcomed and had us seated quickly. Place was busy! Sometimes, the arrival of our drinks and food was a bit slow. But we were not in a rush and did not really mind. What made me give five stars was the fact that even though we did not complain, things like an extra free flatbread arrived, a free dip later, and free champagne at the end of the evening too! That's the way to make up for any service issues! Nice! The food was all excellent: stuffed mushrooms, the halibut dish, and the ahi dish. The only thing i can lament: i was too full for dessert! We will be back for the butter cake soon!
Our server made everything worse. He couldn’t remember things. He forgot and messed up things. He was like a pushy sales person who made us over order and then forced us to pay 20% gratuity when his service was not even worth a penny. I have had food at odeum many times and usually I have tipped based on the service I have gotten and normally it would be 25% but here I didn’t want to give him even 5% and he said it’s mandatory and not a choice and we have to pay 20%. When we booked the table or at the beginning they didn’t mention anything about mandatory 20% gratuity. And honestly I am not the person who argues over tipping. But for a classy restaurant to give horrible service when they are not even busy and then to insult us and force us in 20% tip, awful. The server kept disappearing in the middle of taking order and put our order on some other table and then he thought it would be funny to tell us how he messed up. And we laughed but then he kept messing up and forgetting things. And then it wasn’t even funny how bad his service was. I mean for a good restaurant to have such a bad server who can’t even handle 2 tables. Wow! I don’t know what to say. If you respect your guests and don’t treat them bad, they will happily tip you and you won’t have to force us to tip you. Up your game guys, this nonsense will bring you down!

I’ve been wanting to go here for a long time. Recently visited to celebrate Taylor Swift’s engagement. Our server, Presley, was wonderful. She was charming and happy to help us celebrate. The patio is gorgeous. Very good experience.

0 stars! Would not recommend this place solely based on the appalling customer service I received prior to our reservation. I had made a lunch reservation for 8/16 at 2:30pm for a party of 9 to celebrate a 70th bday. We had family coming from SF. Reservation was made 5 days prior on OpenTable. At 11:30am DAY OF the reservation, someone called me from the restaurant to tell me that their kitchen closes at 2:30pm. I asked what this meant for my reservation and all I kept being told was their kitchen closes at 2:30pm. I finally asked if this meant we couldn’t get food and finally I was told yes. If we came in at 2:30pm, we couldn’t eat. I asked the lady how I was able to make a reservation at that time (as well as the fact that there were reservations available up until 3pm) if their kitchen closes at 2:30pm. All she could respond with was “I don’t know”. I explained that this reservation was made 5 days prior and asked why had no one contacted me before to lmk (restaurants usually confirm bookings a day before). “I don’t know”. The lady had no answers for anything nor was offering any solutions. She finally asked if we could come in at 2pm. I explained we specifically booked for 2:30pm because my son was in a soccer tournament until 2:10pm, that was just down the road. And besides, how would that help when earlier she had told me that the kitchen staff leaves at 2:30pm. We would have had to order apps, mains and dessert and received all before 2:30pm? I asked to speak to a manager and was told there wasn’t one. Asked when they would be in “I don’t know”. Asked for the lady to hold so I could discuss with my husband (where were we going to find a last minute reservation for a party of 9), and instead I got disconnected. No one even bothered to call back, and no one picked up when I tried calling back. Clearly they don’t care that it was for a special celebration and where did they expect us to go last minute. No care for the customer whatsoever. And clearly they don’t want or need the business, based on this experience. Totally unacceptable. And whoever called me to inform me about the kitchen closing at 2:30pm needs to learn how to speak with a customer and go on a customer service course. The menu looks great, but shame that myself nor my family will ever try to come here again. My husband hosts a lot of work events here too. That won’t be happening in the future either.

Love the ambience. Always enjoy the variety of cocktails and mock-tails. Sadly, again, no IPA. Disappointed but not a deterrent. Halibut was very good, as usual. Schnitzel was good but would have preferred a warm potato salad as an option for side., spaghetti was fine, I had the lettuce wrap that was very salty. Service was present. This is on our rotation. : )

We had a wonderful lunch the previous week where everything was top notch - all 5 stars. We decided to try dinner but while many elements were very good to excellent, some didn't hit the mark. The music was very loud for us and we struggled to hear each other and the wait staff. It would have been fine for a "bar" but not conducive to dining. The appetizer came quickly and was very good (pita with eggplant spread). Excellent Caesar salad. We waited a long time then for the main meals. We weren't sure why. While we didn't time it, it was at least 30+ minutes for simple menu items. Once it arrived, the meals were solid in execution. Bottom line, we would definitely go back for lunch but might be less inclined for dinner.
