5 /5 Jesse Benedick: Obricks is one of the best restaurants in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I was able to get familiar with it last year when I was in town for multiple months at a nearby hotel. We would go to Obricks at least twice a week.
Food: The food at Obricks including the menu as a whole is very purposeful. A lot of flavor combinations that seem pretty apparent a professional chef and/or longtime restauranteur is behind this concept. Usually, when I think of Irish Pub I think of a small bar that serves Shepards Pie and Guinness. This is not that at all. Throughout the times I have eaten at Obricks I have tried their soups, Caesar salad, burger, Cuban sandwich (it is not pressed), Mike Carters Wings that are marinated in pickle brine and served as an entire wing (which is very different but overall excellent), as well as their chicken sandwich with stuffed banana pepper, gelato, peach cobbler, etc. The food here is awesome and I have never once had a bad meal or been there on an off night. They dont have those here.
Regarding Service and Atmosphere: Obricks has an excellent wait staff that is very attentive and highly impressive. They memorize who ordered what. They give you different silverware for different dishes. They walk by and clean your table as needed. Basically, all of the things that make for an exceptional wait staff, it is quite obvious they train for that here.
Overall, if youre looking for great tasting unique food, excellent service and very reasonable prices, Obricks is an obvious winner. Ive found eating there to be comfortable and enjoyable and whenever I am in town, I schedule a visit.
