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

Naysayers Know Nothing – Despite overstretched servers - does this place not hire busboys? - and slovenly management, Oba remains one of the best nights out in town. Great food, great wine list, great bartenders. Reviewers failing to enjoy themselves here clearly lack imagination and spirit.
Owhy? – This place is perfect if all you care about is who sees you. Food is interesting; but service is slow and snotty. Actually asked "is this your first time here? (yes) God, where do you usually eat?" And she wasn't kidding.
Truely amazing! – I guess they only except great reviews, or whitewash ones. The service was slow, the manager was not very concerned, and I would not recommend going there. Nice enough?
lousy, expensive drink, icky people – This place sucked. The bar was crowded, the people were loud and obnoxious, and my drink was overpriced and awful. I had a chocolate martini and it was barely drinkable (though for $7 I figured I had to at least make the effort). The waitstaff was rude, it was so loud I could hardly hear my date, and I can't think of a worse place to get a drink. Stay away, stay far away.
Great bar--ok restaurant – Fun place for drinks!! Very hip and fun to hang out in the bar. Good drinks. Been twice. The restaurant: Good food, decent service. Interesting wine list, but not very memorable.
Those are real limes! – These Margaritas have real limes in them and you have a great selection of Tequilas to choose from. Dinner and quenching thirst at Oba is always a good event.
STILL GREAT AFTER 5 YEARS – Oba just seems to continue to reinvent itself. The new lobster bruscetta is fabulous, along with the guava bbq ribs - my vote for best in town. Great scene, timely service and constantly evolving food. Even more exciting - it's now all non-smoking
Breathless! – My boyfriend and I came away from Oba! amazed! The service was perfect... the food was awesome and the ambience was a great compliment! I recommend Oba! all the time to my friends!
Oh my nosh! – Ordering at Oba! is easy, just try something that you have never heard of before and be delighted.
