    The food was ok it did not match its price the drinks were also good but a bit overpriced especially for the size of it

    Obscura responded on Wed 18 Feb 26:
    Hi David, Thank you for the feedback, we do cost everything to make it as approachable as possible for everyone, what I think is important to mention is that we only use fresh and premium quality ingredients with very intensive prep in both bar and kitchen. With regards to the size of the drinks, unfortunately volume of a drink isn’t a sign of quality, if you would like larger cocktails we can certainly make them for you, it’s just a different style of cocktail. As I mentioned, we use premium quality ingredients and we want these to shine through and not be hidden behind too much juice. We do hope to see you at Obscura again soon.

    The experience was excellent. We enjoyed the board game and the cocktails. The vegetable options were delicious but the Korean chicken was a bit dry and the steak very fatty and rare despite requesting medium. The meat options did not blow us away. We actually left most of it.

    Very good service and nice ambience. The food was good and tasty, but a few changes especially to the Burger Sliders is needed. the bread was somehow dry and the overall taste bland. A change of glass for the Espresso Martini is a definite must. It has to be served in a real wide cocktail glass. Overall a real nice experience - we will return.

    Obscura responded on Thu 29 Jan 26:
    Hi Stig, Thank you for your kind and constructive review of Obscura. I will definitely be looking into each point mentioned, especially on the burger sliders. We understand and appreciate the feedback, however, The Nick & Nora Glass is a perfect volume glass for a correctly made Espresso Martini of only Vodka, Espresso and Coffee liqueur. It is used for a multitude of drinks and holds quite a rich history within classic cocktails. All our glassware is chosen with care, love and deep intention. We appreciate you visiting Obscura and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
