A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a classy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.We place a premium on doing the work to find producers, growers, and ranchers that have values that align with our own. It’s our desire to bring food to your table that speaks to its sense of place and time, and to be able to bring the connection to those producers to a higher level of consciousness.

    We had a great experience for our first time at Mister Oso. It has been on our list for a few years, so I'm glad we finally went. The tuna ceviche appetizer was a favorite, as were the mojo tacos. Coconut shrimp tacos were also a great choice. We also ordered the smoked camote tacos, but they were just ok; would not get them again. Most of the drinks were good, though we did not like the tomatillo martini - too sweet for our liking. My favorite drink was the pear ginger agua fresca with tequila added. We will definitely be back

    Overall an outstanding evening from start to finish. Good creative cocktails. Interesting and delicious apps and flavor packed entrees combines with excellent service made for a wonderful evening. We ordered too much, but as first timers wanted to try as much as possible. Followed our server’s recommendations and glad we did as he recommended things we wouldn’t consider. Like the beef ravioli small plate. Don’t let the name deter you, the flavors are incredible! We had the tuna tartare instead of the ceviche and it was wonderful. The shaking beef entree was another one we would not have considered and it is off the chart good. The eggplant small plate was also memorable. A little coconut pineapple upside down cake and we called it a wonderful evening!

    We had dinner before going to the zoo lights. The food was so delicious. We were greeted so nicely, I think a miscommunication happened because then we sat 25 mins with no drink orders. But nonetheless when we did get a server IT WAS WONDERFUL. Thank you

    The restaurant was busy and we had a rezo for 4 people but at the last minute it was just 2 of us. The hostess sat us at a lovely 4 top, rather than a small 2 top. It started the evening off great. Our server was excellent as was the food and drink!

    Delicious! My mom is new to being gluten free and was shocked at how much she could eat. My husband loves this spot and goes here all the time. The greens have now changed my mind... I do actually like greens. Chicken is crispy. Mac n cheese was amazingly ooey gooey! Highly recommended
