Otb At The Boathouse - Allison Park

This is one of our favorite places to eat. Very close to home and a great view of a North Park Lake. The food? It's very good! Lots of unique options. The same for their draft menu. And tons of bottled and canned beers. The service? Our server, Cam, was EXCELLENT. I'd go back just because of his great service! The weather was great today and got to sit outside which was a big plus!

Just an update to the earlier review as things have changed a little bit. The food here is still excellent and the service was pretty quick. The cocktails however have gone off a cliff though unfortunately. All 4 cocktails we ordered were extremely watered down and had little to no taste to them. It's a shame, as they previously killed it on the drink menu as it is now a a shadow of its former self. My advice would be to go for beers if desiring anything alcoholic.

The food at OTB is on par with the exquisitely beautiful setting that surrounds them. All of the food offerings are gauged to be very tasty, and delicious, as well. Their outside seating overlooks a beautiful lake, and the walking paths that are everywhere are a great way to either walk off some calories or enjoy the view until seating. Speaking of seating: the 'wait list ' that OTB maintains is among the most efficient and user-friendly I 've encountered. After giving your cell phone number, you 're immediately texted a link that let 's you see where you fall in the line of folks to be seated. And that same texting is the way you 'll be notified to come to your table. And to that point: we 've eaten at OTB several times recently, and their 'prediction ' of how long you 'll wait has been spot on each time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent concept and place. Food is ok but not amazing. Staff is friendly for the most part, unless they're super busy; when things are calm the service has been good, but when busy the hostesses tend to be a bit rude.

Food is always good but been here several times recently and same thing. Severely understaffed. Not the current staff's fault. Offer better pay so good people apply and you need to at least double the people working per shift, especially Saturdays. Whole outdoor area full of empty dirty tables while the wait for an outside table is over an hour. My nachos took forever and showed up ice cold. Again not current staff's fault, that's an ownership/management issue. People here are doing their best.
