Some nights just leave a lasting impression. Thursday night was definitely one of them!

My brother from another mother Jason, brought in Karina Rykman, her band...Adam, Chris, Pete,...their crew, and family for dinner at The Joint before their show at Winston's. What an incredibly amazing and wonderful group of people!

And then came the show...WTF!

The musicianship, songwriting, chemistry, and sheer talent were absolutely mind blowing! From the band to the lighting, sound, and entire crew, everything was off the hook! What an incredible night of live music!

I've seen a lot of live music over the years, and these folks are SUPER special!

But what impressed me just as much as their talent was how genuine and kind they are. Exceptional musicians and amazing human beings!

Thank you Karina Rykman Chris Corsico Pete Miller and the entire fn crew. You made a fan out of me, not just of your music, but of who you are as people!

Much love and respect always! A hui hou kakou!!! ❤️🎶🤙

Our team brought their Halloween spirit, creativity, and costumes, and we couldn’t let the fun go undocumented! 🧡 We’re lucky to have a crew that knows how to work hard, have fun, and make every shift a little more memorable.(peep a picture of our sister restaurant The Bowl and their awesome Mario costumes)

Sun out. B**r cold. And yeah… we went a little crazy in the kitchen. 🍺🔥

🥔 Loaded Twice-Baked Potato

Candied house cut Nueske’s applewood smoked bacon, whipped butter, sour cream, cheddar + fontina, fresh chives & parsley — crispy outside, ridiculously creamy inside.

👉 This is comfort food leveled all the way up.

🍣 Donburi Delight

Bluefin tuna tartare over sushi rice with unagi, ikura, quail egg (uzura), negi, shiso, sesame, ao-nori & sweet soy glaze.

👉 Rich. Fresh. Umami bomb.

Pair it with a glass of w**e, craft cocktail, sake, or an ice-cold draft on our 26 taps and you’ve got your perfect OB afternoon.
