Diners at O&B Canteen would love a more diverse menu. There are lots of vegetarian options, but not many nice entrees for omnivores. We love the restaurant, but the menu needs attention. We did love the grilled salmon meal, but there need to be more options. We come down to the area often, so would appreciate more choices. Thanks.

The bacon and halloumi are a bit salty, and we waited for a little bit longer. But overall experience was outstanding as we liked the ambiance and the service.
