Oswald Restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and efficient, friendly service. The menu features options like crab & avocado appetizer, lamb, halibut, hamburger, lasagna, steak, and duck confit. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, making it perfect for a date night. While some find the burger to be good but not exceptional, many reviews highlight the best burger and fries ever, along with great drink specials. The bar menu is also noted for its excellent value. Entrées may be pricey, but the quality matches the prices. Guests appreciate the overall experience, though some have pointed out the less appealing surroundings of the city parking garage, including filthy stairwells and public restrooms. Despite this, Oswald remains a favorite dining spot, consistently praised as the best restaurant in downtown.
