    Obscura was an unexpected journey that delighted me in ways I can't imagine. the music and ambience welcomed me delightfully, although the place seemed empty. I loved the fact that it is a reservation only format. I booked late but it was handled smoothly and the concierge was welcoming. I love the bar display and the cozy set up. it's perfect for a date night. nice and intimate. The service was great. as much as there were only 4 of us in at the time, my waitron was super friendly and knowledgeable. As a gin lover I asked for a gin cocktail and honestly I wish my first drink was my last. The mixologist, Qiniso, served me the best tasting Gin sours I have ever had. I enjoyed the menu and really struggled to make a choice. I opted for the lamb and broccoli dishes and they we absolutely delicious. the mushrooms were amazing. the meal changed my plan and I ended up having two more cocktails and enjoying a great bar side story about an upcoming cocktail competition a drink that im sure is going to be a hit called Chapter 12. I love the place, can't wait to bring my wife and I recommed it any and everyone. be back soon. Mr Gin3000 from Lesotho
