Looking for a great brunch spot this Sunday? Well, keep lookin, because we are going to be 🚨closed 🚨on Easter. 😁 Don’t worry, though, we are serving Menu 149 thru Saturday night, so you still have a chance to celebrate the holiday with us!

We hope you all have a wonderful Good Friday and Easter weekend!

It’s not every day someone joins a team and instantly feels like they’ve been here all along. Robert has been a key member of OMR since the moment he walked in the door, absolutely owning every station he performed from dishwashing to prep cook, all the while smiling, singing, providing profound conversation starters and imparting sage wisdom.

While we are sad to announce Robert’s leave from the restaurant (for now!), we are excited for his next step and wish him all the great fortune and success he deserves and has always hoped for everyone else.

Robert once said the best thing about OMR was that it is “Pakisama” which means a community that takes care of eachother and anticipates one another’s needs. Thank you to all our guests for being part of the pakisama, and please join us in celebrating Robert’s accomplishments and future.

It’s not a goodbye, but a see you later! We love you, Mister Bob! 💙💛
