"We were recommended this restaurant by friends.Started off well then slowly declined throughout the evening.Everything seemed barely warm even though they were not that busy.Dessert was unedible,which in fairness was taken off our bill.Our server Mike was very attentive and knowledgable,although we heard his 'tone' change when he saw that we didn't add a tip on our debit bill,we did however leave him one in cash."

"Fantastic little spot my girlfriend and I stumbled upon by chance last year. It has become our annual anniversary dinner locale and we always look forward to our night out. The seafood selection is always fresh and the specials are excellent. I would bring friends/family here in a heartbeat for great food/ambiance."

"This was not our first time at Oscars...and once again we were not disappointed. The food is amazing and presented with such flare...it acutally makes you want to take a picture! We went on the last day of Barrielicious which also happened to be Superbowl Sunday so it was quiet and that was nice too. Staff are always attentive and service is top notch. Can't wait for the next 'excuse' to go back!"

"Staff forgot to bring oyster to our table, long wait.
Staff seemed unorganized for a small restaurant.
Steak was was way overcooked/dry.
Lobster tail was more of a shrimp.
Wine was good."
