Let's face it. When Oba opened, it was unique and that alone was worth the visit. It attacted the ""in crowd"" and was the center of where everyone wanted to be. But newness rubs off after a awhile. As the years have passed, some things have remained consistent: namely, the poor service, weak drinks, and the same old crowd wearing the same old embarassing clothes (was that a bow in her hair?). With the revitalization of The Pearl, there are too many other places nearby that are far worthier of attention: for drinks, try Paragon or even The Low Brow. For atmosphere, and fine dining, try Fratellis. For better service, try Burger King. While the menu is unique, the quality is not consistent. Time to move the party elsewhere.
Pros: didn't get hurt, didn't get poisoned, didn't die
Cons: weak drinks, poor service, noisy
