To start, we shared the Smoked Trout Dip, served with crackers and fresh crudité. The dip was light, flavorful, and a refreshing way to kick off the meal.

We also tried the pierogis with sour cream and sauerkraut — a classic take on this Eastern European favorite, perfectly balanced and full of flavor.

For the main course, I couldn’t resist the OBH Burger paired with beef fat fries. The burger was incredible: the aioli sauce and sweet pickles complemented the juicy patties, and the fries were golden and crispy.
