    We were at Ondi e’s for a birthday celebration and it was wonderful. Very attentive staff and the food was delicious. Try the crispy oysters if you like spice. So yummy! Delicious steak meal for two with salad and chips and a glass of wine. Perfect. Steak was grilled to our asking and our waiter, Matthew, was fantastic •. Don’t overlook this restaurant.
