Come for Oswegos only on-the-river dining. Can be busy, make reservations especially for holidays or special events.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant a few times in hopes of finding something good that we liked! Unfortunately, each time we have gone it has been very mediocre food that’s very expensive and very little portion. The only good thing we can both say is that the location of this restaurant is superb! Very gorgeous view of the water and great outdoor seating. The drinks are not too bad so we’d definitely only go again for drinks if anything!

I first moved to the area in June of this year, as I travel the US for work. While looking for a regular place to enjoy my time off of work, I was lucky to stumble upon La Parrilla. From the stellar view by the water to the excellent food selection, it’s with ease that I say this place is one of my favorites across the entire country. There’s a comforting feeling when stopping by for a late dinner or drink.

To top it off, the staff are genuine and friendly. After a few visits, it was as if I had been going there for the last 27 years.

I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Stop on in and you’ll see what I mean!

If I could give this place a -zero I would. Saturday night on 9/21 we arrived at the restaurant at 6:20 the place was almost empty. We were a party of 10 7 kids and 4 adults. We asked if we could please seat outside and we were told there was no room outside ( tons of tables available).
We sat inside and took two booths. 10 minutes went by and finally the waitress came over. We were ready to order and gave her all the order for both the kids and adults. Drinks and everything. We had kids with us from ages 4-11. Three of the boys played at a baseball tournament and they were starved.
About 30 minutes later she showed up with the drinks. 7:30, 7:45 and no food. Kids were getting anxious and cranky because they were tired and hungry. Around 7:50 food for 5 out of the 6 dinner order for the kids came over but one. We waited for another 10 minutes to see if the chicken nuggets and fries arrived and then our waitress finally showed up to ask us “ do you want to order more food” when we told her we didn’t even get the food that we actually order instead of apologizing gave an attitude and stormed away. Then another 10 minutes went by and she came to tell us that one of the appetizers that we ordered “just ran out” when she said that and we asked her how come they ran of that since we had ordered 2 hrs ago? She didn’t have an answer a d she stormed away from the table again. Finally she brought the chicken nuggets and fries.
We sat there for 2.5 hrs waiting for something that never came. No one came to apologize or acknowledge the mistake. We asked for the check and she dropped the checks while she was eating food and couldn’t even talk to us.
It is unacceptable how we were treated and no one even apologized for what was happening. I called after to see if the manager what’s available and I was told she wasn’t. I asked for the manager’s name and I was told her name was Christine Elle not sure if that is her actual name given that the person on the phone was laughing.

Needless to say, SAVE YOURSELF THE AGGRAVATION and don’t go there. Don’t want to go there specially if you are hungry. I had to go to another restaurant and wait another time for food.

And on top of all... the owner is calling me a liar! I am not sure what you saw but WHY would I lie about something like this? I have 3 other adults that are ready to write the same as I did. NOTHING was discounted. We PAID for the kids meals the 3 beers and the ice tea we ordered. So please feel free so show me the videos and send me an email. I am willing to talk to you but DO NOT CALL ME A LIAR. THAT I AM NOT!

DONT GO TO THIS PLACE! Waited for 2.5 hrs for food that never got. Didn’t get an apology or anything. Find somewhere else to go.

Food is awful and service is just as bad. If you want to sit on the river fine but if you want to eat or drink on the river not so much.

Meh. This meal was $27. I was excited to have a twist on a carbonara, but this was just some pasta with mild sausage and a few pieces of Asparagus. Not even close…Carbonara is not made with tomato sauce.

The location is the best part. Unfortunately, quality of food and attention to detail continues to slip since the move from the previous location and significantly over the past few months. Portion size and flavor are not the same and the chicharrones a longtime staple were really disappointing. I attempted to raise concern after my last visit but this visit was no better. Our burgers even came out missing the cheese and all toppings. Hoping for an improvement because we have always loved La Parrilla. Fingers crossed- La Parrilla I know you can do better!
