" Obelisk is one of those restaurants that makes you feel special. My husband took me here for my birthday, and we loved every moment. The dishes were creatively presented and tasted divine - especially the seafood selections. The wine pairings were also a great touch. We did have to wait a little longer than I expected for some courses, but the food was worth it. This is definitely a place I look forward to returning to. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a unique experience! The dinner was like a culinary journey, with beautifully crafted dishes served in a cozy environment. I appreciated that the menu changes frequently, which I find exciting. While some dishes were standouts, others didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Overall, I think the authenticity shines through, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. A lovely night for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Obelisk after seeing so many great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is charming, and we felt right at home. The pasta dishes we ordered were heavenly, showcasing rich flavors and fresh ingredients. While the service was attentive, we did have to wait a bit longer than expected between courses. However, the quality of the food made up for it. I'll definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dinner at Obelisk was simply magnificent. From the moment we walked in until the last bite of dessert, everything was perfect. The service was gentle yet attentive, not intrusive at all. Each course was reflective of true Italian cuisine, with flavors that made you savor every bite. Additionally, the homemade burrata was exceptional! The price was justifiable given the quality and effort put into every dish. I would recommend this to anyone looking to indulge. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my anniversary at Obelisk and it was everything I hoped it would be. The menu changes daily, adding a surprise element to the dining experience. Each dish was superbly presented and tasted incredible. I loved the attention to detail in every course, especially the house-made pastas and the outstanding wine pairings. The pace of the meal allowed us to truly savor each bite. I can't wait to return for another special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally made a reservation at Obelisk. The space is intimate, perfect for a date night. However, the experience was somewhat marred by an unresponsive service team. It took longer than expected to get our orders taken, and we felt ignored at times. While the food was well-prepared, I wouldn't say it was the most authentic Italian meal I've had. The ambiance is lovely, yet I was left wanting more from the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)
