What Millie Kwan likes about Obelisk:
Most amazing food, wine and service! This restaurant is more of an experience rather than your regular restaurant. Rotating choice of items on the menu depending on what's available seasonally or what the chef has decided to present. Service is impeccable, bread is amazing especially the grissini. Presentation of the plates were spectacular and the wine list is very nice. The pasta course was delightful and just what... View all feedback.

For as much money as we spent, I should be giving this place 5 stars, but I just cannot.

Obelisk has a modest entrance with no signage out front other than the small enclosed box with the handwritten menu of the day enclosed.

What a treat! I didn’t realize that this was a prix fixe menu restaurant, but even with the more limited options it was still hard to choose. The restaurant is...
