Booked in here for a team lunch, great menu selection to cater for everyone, fast service for the food and pre-ordered drinks on arrival as soon as we got there. Would recommend as a nice spot for lunch, the quality of the food was really good.

I chose this restaurant due to the great menu choices and it didn't disappoint. The food was lovely, service was good and there was a nice atmosphere. We will be back!

Booked this for my birthday meal Called a week ahead, told the booking was fine, no follow up until I called a couple days before, told no booking was on the system on their end. Had to be booked in half an hour before the kitchen closed (which was not told to us until 10pm when we asked about dessert) the drinks took ages to come, the preorder was not received on their end even after I had sent it twice Honestly really disappointing service, I won’t be coming back however the food was great so that’s a plus.

Booked a table for 7 people at 6pm - we arrived and were quickly seated and drinks & food orders taken - by 7 we had only just started getting our meal and had to ask for more drinks as nobody came to check if we needed anything. I think for the most part the food was good apart from just a lack of presentation - very underwhelming side salad of just lettuce leaves - no dressing, no tomatoes/cucumber etc. Been a number of times and really enjoyed the experience but unfortunately this time was quite disappointing.

Great food and service as always.

We’ve been to Oscar’s many times over the years. We always get friendly service and enjoy the buzz of the place. It has an interesting layout allowing for tables with varying degrees of intimacy. The food is always well prepared and presented, good portions with a decent spread of a classic bar style dishes. It’s worth noting that if you stick to tea or coffees you can have a reasonable night out but alcoholic drinks are steeper (though, aren’t they everywhere?). The house Savvy is delightful, mind…

Very disappointing service, but the food was excellent as usual once we got it ! table not ready when we got there , which was ok as busy. ordered 1st round of drinks 10 mins later took came to take our food order, not looked at menu so came back around 20-30 later , took our order for 2 drinks and meal . 1/2 later no drinks the waitress who took the order was on lunch! never wrote it down , 10mins later drinks arrived and we asked if our food had been ordered ?? NO it had not as not written down. complained again 4pm we got our food . ordered more drinks and guess what they forgot the order again - chased them out after 20mins - we left at 6pm . they covered the drinks bill so we where happy enough ;-)

Greeted by our favourite waiter, always friendly and accommodating. Really happy we booked a table for 6, it was a busy Saturday and Oscars was bustling they were even having to turn people away. Children friendly restaurant. I would definitely consider Oscars every time when we are out with the children. Food is always a happy hit. Thankyou for being accommodating everytime you see us

We haven't been since before COVID and we were look forward to coming for food, we got there 10 minutes early and our table was ready which was perfect with 2 small children! The bar was very busy so we expected food to have quite a long wait so we ordered starters to keep us going, they arrived quick and were perfect! Mains than came with not much of wait and the food was just as good as before COVID, staff were all great, all very busy but nothing was too much for them!

The food, service and atmosphere at Oscars was perfect. I have dined at Oscars on many occasions and this time was just as good as the rest. Thank you, we will be back.
