About this business

??Oba! Restaurante y Refresqueria opened in Portland, Oregon in October 1997. Owner Steve McLain, who had spent the 1980s managing and owning restaurants in high-profile markets such as the Bay Area and Los Angeles, had already completed a successful purchase and turnaround of Hall Street Grill in a Portland suburb ??? a restaurant that continues to thrive under his ownership today. Eager to open a second venture in a more urban setting, McLain chose the heart of the Pearl District. At the time, this gritty, industrial area ... read more

One of my favorites – I ate at Oba last weekend, and it again proved to me why it has been an interesting, innovative restaurant for the last several years. Food is delicious and service is consistant and generally friendly. Great cocktails too! I'll be back soon!

Best Lemon Drop EVER – Oba is my very favorite restaurant! They have wonderful food, the best of which is a salad called the Oba Caesar. They also have great drinks. A little on the spendy side but so very worth it.

Overrated, noisy – Food Was beautiful but the service was mediocre and the servette was surly.

Great Find! – Food was great. Look was great. Desserts were great. All that was missing from our romantic night was a volume control. Found the place to be a little noisy, but I would definately go back again

Fun drinks- fun to go w/ girlfriends – They have fun drinks, great place to go with the girlfriends. Leave the husbands at home. Good appetizers as well! Service was a little slow, lost our drink ticket. The appetizers are a bit expensive for what you get

One of my favorites! – I love oba's! I go there for cocktails and appetizers a lot. The bar food menu is about the same as it has been the last couple of years, but I don't mind when they have such great crispy coconut prawns and seared tuna. I've only eaten in the restaurant part a couple of times, but I had great food and great service. The atmosphere is really nice in the restaurant.

Good but slipping – Oba's started out great but the food quality has been slipping. So good but not great food in a cool, fun atmosphere. You could do a lot worse.

Meet market – Great drinks, great place to watch interesting people, decent appetizers (tapas?). However, food from the main menu is not very good, consistently. Very good service, very noisy place.

bad bad service! – I have been to Oba! before and have love the food, drinks, and even the service, but on the recent visit on 1st Thurs. that has all become a lost memory. I only had drinks and was seated at a table in the bar. My server virtually ingonred me. I had to go to the bar to get all of my drinks as she served every table around me. Is it my cloths, age, color(this is a spanish restaurant?) well she made a mistake. They still have good food i just hope you can still get good service.
