"Oscar's is on a lower level of the Waldorf-Astoria. The omelet station was wonderful, however, if you're not listening carefully to the hostess, you migh completely miss it and settle for scrambled eggs from the breakfast buffet. The omelet station is completely hidden in the opposite corner behind some pillars."

"Nice Brunch although bread selection for ommelletes could have been better. Fruit selection was fresh. Patrons should supervise their children a bit more. Friendly, informal breakfast venue with good price point."

"While still nice, Oscar's seems to have lost it's classy and elegant feel. Service was more rushed and transactional than I remember it being. Food was good, but overpriced. Good thing this was an 'expense account' breakfast!"

"I went for a business meeting at breakfast. The service was wonderful. It was buffet only, which is a bummer if you don't want to eat a lot. But the food was all very good. I will go back."
