Went to OIBL for Restuarant Week since the place is historic. Had to wait about 25 mins for our table with reservations since it was packed on a Wed. night (mostly middle aged couples and groups). Our table upstairs was nice; the place was glowing w/ candlelight which made for pleasant ambiance. Our server was professional and attentive. The menu offered nice choices for prix fixe (gnocchi was delicious, honey sauce for smoked pork was a great match, and the choc. fondant was warm and good). We opted to add on a cheese course and the cheeses (plenty for 2) were well worth the value (6 cheeses with pairings of olives, honey, fig paste, and grapes=$17). Though we enjoyed our meal, there was nothing special that we would come back for at full price (maybe wine and the cheese course if offered a la carte). However, it was a decidedly good bargain for Rest. week.
Pros: a piece of history, cheese plate
Cons: outdated carpet
