    The food and service are always OUTSTANDING at The Odeon! Today, I want to call attention to our server's attention to detail, which was spot-on excellent! She must have observed my dining companion opening his birthday card, or overheard us talking....but when dessert arrived, it came with a lit birthday candle and heartfelt congratulations : ) THANK YOU!

    We came expecting great food, but we didn’t anticipate how much fun we’d have! From the lively vibe and great music to the energetic and friendly crowd, the atmosphere was a ten out of ten. The space was warm and inviting, buzzing with excitement yet relaxed enough to enjoy great conversation. We'll definitely be back for next month's pop-up!
