   Chilean Sea Bass portion was small and initially came burnt. Chef redid it and was an even smaller piece of fish and the soy ginger sauce was extremely salty. Very high priced for a small piece of fish, a cup of white rice and 1 piece of bok choy. Upon request, they did bring me an extra piece of fish to make up for the initial small portion, but I would definitely not order this again. The veal parmigiana was buried in so much tomato sauce that my Mom couldn't eat it. We asked for a side of prosciutto and some pita bread and the waitress offered to put some slices of mozzarella with it, but when it came out, they made a pizza out of those ingredients. Fortunately my Mom was OK with it. Even the waitress said that isn't what she asked them to substitute since there wasn't anything else on the menu my Mom wanted so we were both confused. We ordered the artichoke appetizer which was good the first round. We ordered another one and it tasted totally different. Drenched in too much oil and the leaves were much tougher. The elevator was broken so my Mom who uses a walker had to be helped up the stairs. The tables and chairs were packed so close together that she couldn't get her walker through the restaurant to the back room where they sat us so I had to walk backwards and have her hold onto my arms to simulate a walker. Also, when they were bussing tables it appeared they put some of the outdoor tables inside to accommodate more people, but it gave zero privacy. Table next to us could hear everything we were saying and vice versa. The biggest compliment I will give them is that their hostess, the waitress and bus person were all excellent! Very accommodating and went the extra mile to help us in every way. Bummed to have not had a good experience with food. Used to love this place, but won't return. Too expensive not to love the food.

   We had dinner at Odeum a few times before pandemic, we enjoyed the authentic and good quality food there very much and glad that Morgan Hill finally had a high-end restaurant in town. But last night (12/24/2024), we noticed a few changes: - our waiter didn't come to ask how the food was, all he did was introduce the two special holiday dishes, took orders, then sent the bill at the end - Entrees we ordered were $32 -$45 each. They came with small amount of meat or fish and large amount of rice or pasta. We didn't see the value of each dish like they used to be 😞 - Glad that appetizers and desserts were as good as before - When we went through the bill, we found two dishes were charged about $10 more each then the prices on the menu. We mentioned that to the waiter, he went check it and corrected the prices for us. This is a BIG SURPRISE to us, as it doesn't usually happen in the high-end restaurant We hope the Odeum management team will make improvements on the food quality and services. Henry Yen

   Haven't had such a perfect dining experience in a LONG time! We were celebrating a friend's completion of chemotherapy, which means he had no immune system. Our hostess offered the private room so that he'd be safe. This, even though they had a full house. She even sanitized our menu for us!! On top of that, every bit of her service was perfect...attentive, came to our table frequently enough without being intrusive, food came fast and was absolutely delicious. We both agreed that this was the perfect dining experience and will be back for sure.

   Food was great. Versatile menu with good options. I am only giving two stars because of the service. With a reservation, we waited 45 minutes for our table with little to no check in from the host/wait staff. This restaurant had reservations available all night, but from the look of it, I'm not sure how they managed to seat everyone as the restaurant was full the entire time we were there.

   At 5 PM we were the first ones there. They tried to stick my wife and I in a corner and my view was that of staring at 2 walls. I asked for another seat and they told me no, and that there were other reservations, taking the rest of the tables. So I wondered if all those reservations were at 5 PM like ours. We left and had a great time at Willard and Hicks.

    One of our companions said the sea bass was the best fish he'd ever eaten. Everything else was delicious, too.
