Once a month we take Friday afternoon off to drive over the hill for a late lunch at Oswald. The cocktails are delicious, as are the entrees and desserts. We always get the spaghetti carbonara, which is our pasta indulgence for the month. The chocolate soufflé & cream are wonderful and the persimmon dessert cake is outstanding. The server has a great attitude and doesn't hover, and the music choices are perfect. Highly recommend.

Oswald never disappoints! From the great service with a smile, to the engaging bartenders, to the excellent food - Oswald is a great experience and a definite recommendation for anyone looking for a solid date night or dinner with friends.

Appetizers and salads were very good. Aprils black cod entree was excellent. My skirt steak was cooked perfectly but was a bit tough. Service was very informal but attentive.
Emily
Delicious food in a quiet but lively atmosphere. The bread and compound butter was a big hit. Loved my salad. Desserts were off-the-char delicious. Not too sweet!
Brett
Kind, attentive service. Good drinks, great seafood. Good chickory salad and chocalate souffle
Kurt
The black cod and seared ahi cornbread crostini were most excellent. The Oswald Negroni - bet you can't order just one. Looking forward to our next visit.

We came all the way from San Jose to try Oswald's, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The service was poor — our waitress only checked on us once, never offered drink refills, and forgot the one refill we requested. We eventually had to ask another staff member for help, and our drinks arrived just as we were paying the bill, too late to enjoy them. It wasn't busy, yet our server seemed much more attentive to her other two tables. We usually tip 18–25%, but in this case, we left 10% because the service simply didn't meet expectations. The food was also underwhelming and took nearly 30 minutes to arrive after our appetizers, which was surprising given the light crowd. We truly wish our experience at Oswald's had been different, as we were looking forward to trying it.

I am delighted that Oswald is now open on Tuesday evenings. The prix fixe meal was excellent, reasonable, and the cocktails were perfect. Oswald is very reliable for quality dining.
Denise
We loved the food and service. My only negative is that it's too loud at dinner to carry on a conversation.

I ordered the trout, when it arrived it was undercooked, the waiter looked and agreed. Approximately 20 minutes later my plate arrived back on the table with my knife and fork still on the plate along with the original fish? They had just stuck under the warmer. I spoke to the owner and showed him a picture of how my food was delivered, he said he knew about it but was busy. Never had a dining experience like that before. I didn't eat the meal as it looked disgusting. Owner should be ashamed.
We were pleased with wines by the glass options & our entrees: steak & fries and farrow with added trout were great. Steak was very flavorful & good quality.
Gabrielle
A small menu but everything is carefully prepared and delicious. Can get a bit loud at times. Friendly and usually prompt service.

Oswald is a fantastic dining spot. The fried chicken was great, with excellent seasoning that enhances its flavor. The chocolate soufflé is a standout dessert, although the chocolate tasted a bit artificial, overall it was good ending to the meal without being overly sweet.
