“Skyline Sophistication with Heart

This rooftop lounge delivers on every front—elevated ambiance, outstanding service, and a thoughtful menu that welcomes everyone. I was especially impressed by the creative mocktail offerings. As a non-drinker, it’s rare to find options this flavorful and beautifully crafted.

Their vegetarian dishes were equally thoughtful—hearty, delicious, and clearly made with care. It’s refreshing to see a space where inclusion is more than a buzzword.

And the view? Absolutely stunning. Whether you're soaking in the sunset or enjoying the sparkle of the city lights, the skyline provides the perfect backdrop to an already memorable experience.

A place I’ll be happy to return to.“

“What's not to love about Bayshore Grove! It is one of the most scenic wedding venues to photograph. The staff is top notch and the food is delicious!“

“First of all, I’m a foodie. I love it that the place is owned by a real chef. Thus, I find the food to be a lot of fun while being absolutely scrumptious… Appearing as fine art. Same for the custom libations that go along with nicely, chosen wines, and beers. It feels good to sit in the place.… I love the vibe. Try the short rib!“

“Best food and the specials are great! Had a $10 burger beer and fries special and was blown away by how well prepared—plus the folks serving at the bar are super friendly, professional and fast moving. Beer somehow tastes better when Micky brings it, she’s the best beer slinger in town.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of seating options this is all outdoors with several open tiki style buildings grouped together so families can choose to sit away from the bar. Corn hole games plus cozy fire pits with seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: All outdoors, single level. Plenty of parking.“

“Best Place to have a good time“

“Outstanding. I visited for the first time last week and it won't be my last. They serve breakfast all day and I had been looking for a local diner that offers it. I come home from work late at night and most places stop serving breakfast by the time I become functional. The cinnamon raisin toast is worth it. I had a fritatta but can't wait to try other items.“

“Hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had, and incredible polite and patient employees. Some guy came in drinking and swinging a bottle of vodka around and kept yelling “I’m Chris Holmes give me my f***ing this and my f***ing that. You all this a sub, my dog wouldn’t even eat this”. Guy went on and on and the employees handled the situation with incredible professionalism. They managed to walk him outside and then he stumbled off. Turns out the food he was trying to return wasn’t even from Oswego Sub Shop. Fantastic food and service with a smile. Can’t beat it.“

“Excellent nights sleep. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Angela (front desk) was the best! She was kind, friendly and happy and made us feel warm and welcome. The room had a fridge, coffee maker and microwave which was very handy. Even though located right on 104 it was quiet and dark and it had a really nice TV.“

“this place did not disappoint! everything about it was phenomenal. from the atmosphere, to the servers/bartender, to the outstanding food and drinks. (the Brussel and burnt ends are delicious!!!) i can't wait to go back and try more things! best meal my husband and I have gotten in a long time!“

“I come up to Oswego several times a year for fishing. My favorite place to stop is GS Steamers Bar & Grill. I love to see Melissa behind the bar. She’s the best bartender around! We love the food, drinks and environment! See you again Melissa!“

“We had Samantha as our waitress. She was kind, patient, didn't hurry us. Was a excellent waitress“

“Food was amazing! For $12, you can get a triple burger with tots and and a salad bar. Burger was super juicy, tots were nice and hot. The waitress was extremely pleasant. The manager, Stanley was a lot of fun to talk to and made sure me and my guest were taken cared of. Will be looking forward to returning here!“

“Prices are pretty good, food was amazing! Tried the Omaha panini, the spinach wrap side salad and fries and everything was great.
Look wise. It is really neat, lots of memorabilia and the wood work looks really nice. The ppl are nice too. Definitely recommend 💯“
