    We enjoyed our little celebration of a family event just for two of us. OKU appeared to be exactly the right place for it with attentive people working there who created a welcoming atmosphere. Manager Luna was a nice conversationalist and gracious person. Thank you for a memorable evening!

    The staff was very attentive and friendly. The owner/manager? stopped by to ask us how our food was which was a nice touch. Shrimp empanadas were amazing as were the shrimp tacos. Wonderful cocktails and a great location. Would highly recommend it!

    We've eaten here a few times, and the service and food are always good. Yes, it's a casual place and the menu is somewhat limited, but everything is fresh, well prepared and the staff makes sure everything is exactly right I had the chicken salad which had EVERYTHING in it and my wife had the turkey sandwich which was piled high with meat and vegies. The wine selection was good and fairly priced. I would recommend the goat tree for lunch or a casual dinner. (yes, they have heaters if it gets cold and you're seating outside)
