I thought I had already reviewed Oscar's. But to the point of being redundant; Oscar's is a small and intimate restaurant where you can get first class foods for middle class prices. There is often live music and the wait staff is friendly and do their job well, there is often a wait for your food because it is cooked fresh and presented elegantly. It is a dining experience so if you want to get in and out quickly call in your order and take delicious food home with you.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are very welcome by the staff, there is a children's menu and they seem to love the music. They can get up and dance.
Best prime rib!! Very tender and rare! The best! Will be going back. Definitely agree that it’s a gem.

I had no intentions of eating here this eve'. When the waitress came to my table I did mention I ate here before BUT I thought the place was closed. I, also, mentioned I don't know what the fuss is about Oscar...before I could say more, she blurted, "Oscar's an excellent cook, etc., etc., he cooked in Manhattan."I asked, "Where?? Inwood...??" LOL...I cooked in Manhattan, too, in my kitchen.I had the calamari w/creamed sriracha app. I actually liked it. Never thought about adding sriracha to cream/vice versa. Interesting.Had the grouper w/crab stuffing; was made in another cream-based sauce (still trying to figure the spice which was kinda strong). Sauce was too heavy/rich for the grouper. I scraped this crab stuffing & sauce off the grouper & mixed it into the rice. Was it grouper...??? Rarely do I see grouper in northern restaurants; $18.00/lb at H-Mart...!!! Red Grouper; $36/lb. Black grouper ??? The mixed veggies were kinda hard; had to use a knife to cut them...they were good, though...fresh.Dessert: Usually, I do not do dessert. Just my espresso with a side of Sambuca (& don't forget my 3 coffee beans...!!!!) Waitress convinced me to try the Key Lime pie; stating her BF makes it. Told her, "I've been to Key West lots of times & NEVER had the Key Lime pie...LOL" OK...I ordered it & they did NOT have it...WTH...!!! So much for dessert...UGH...Espresso served with 3 coffee beans on the saucer??? NO, when Sambuca is ordered the 3 beans go in the Sambuca...!!! ALSO, Sambuca is served in a snifter (short-stemmed glass whose vessel has a wide bottom and a relatively narrow top). NOT a shot glass...!!! BTW, 3 beans are served when Sambuca is ordered but NOT with anisette; just a little restaurant fyi.The 3 beans are sorta superstitious; they mean health, wealth & love. A lot of restaurant people have NOT a clue....SMH.WHY do I have to pull my "SNOB" out...in all seriousness, I've eaten at 4 Seasons, Giambelli's 50th, Lutece, Lafayette's, The Leopard & several other 4 star Manhattan restaurants back in the day; mid 1960s to early 1970s.The staff were cordial BUT off their game; seemed unorganized.Sometimes subtle spicing is a lot better than over spicing...& I LOVE spice.

We had a blast there with my whole family (12 adults 5 kids). The musician was awesome, and totally made our night. It's family friendly, and the staff is phenomenal
Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs, no kids menu, but there are kids friendly options, and you don't feel like you are out of place with a child.

Our waitress Taylor is the best! We always make sure she is working when we go! Food is always fresh and delicious.
Kim Murray
Food very good, reasonable. It always seems to be a little bit chilly in there. They need to turn up the heat a notch. I don't want to feel like I have to leave my coat on while eating.
Sean Kristoferson
First time there could not have been better. Highly recommend
Sarah Zeller
A little expensive, but the food is consistently great, and the staff are just so awesome and friendly. I order takeout at least once a month. The French dip sandwich is awesome. I've had a few salads where the lettuce wasn't washed properly, but I've never been disappointed with any of their pasta dishes, specials, or sandwiches. The wings are good too!

The committee of “That ‘70s Reunion” would like to send out a big THANK YOU to the owners of “Oscar’s Restaurant and Bar”, Jessica Chutka-Pelletier and Jeffrey Pelletier, for staying open late on Friday, October 7th, so that we could get together after the football game. It was the perfect way to start off a fabulous reunion weekend. The food and drinks and service were all excellent.Thanks again Jessica & Jeffrey ?
Delicious food and friendly staff. Can’t go wrong at Oscars!

Food was excellent as well as the service.However, a 2 piece band was playing.They were so loud inside the small restaurant, that we couldn't hear ourselves talk or hear the server. We ended up outside to eat or we would have left.Also, there was no propane for the heaters....

Fantastic food. HORRIBLE service. My hubby went to pay and told the manager. He said, "I know, I know" and shooed us out.
