Such a treat to find OSO with very good food and wine choices, at great prices. Paired oysters with sparkling (3 different choices of bubbles!), perfection. Followed by the rib eye for two, perfectly cooked steak and more than enough for two. Service was tip-top.

Our lunch was delicious. We shared one of the specials - a burrata, prosciutto and persimmon salad. It was amazing, highly recommend. Both entrees were also great - the chicken sandwich and fish tacos. We ate outside since it was a gorgeous Fall day - 70 degrees. Unfortunately we live far away and won’t be back any time soon.

We enjoyed a yummy Heirloom tomato soup, perfect on a cool evening, followed by the deviled eggs and a burrata persimmon salad. We just wanted a light meal and this was perfect.

Our server was very attentive and greeted us as we sat down at our table. We enjoyed the heirloom tomato burrata, pasta & burger. All food was very fresh. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails with our dinner --- Paloma & Sazerac. Both nicely prepared! Overall, a very nice dining experience.

Food was good and ambiance was decent. Our server was pushy, we had to chase her down for a 2nd glass of wine, she kind of rudely tossed the to-go box on the table, and the entire staff was lax in clearing dirty dishes from the table.

Oso truly blew our minds! We booked an early dinner on a whim, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. From start to finish, the service was fantastic—attentive without being overbearing—and every plate that came out was perfection. The portions were just right for our group of three, and we were absolutely starving, so we devoured and savored each bite. The menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a nice variety without feeling overwhelming. Standouts were the Rockefeller Oysters and PEI Mussels, both bursting with flavor. Burrata is always a must-order for us, and Oso’s did not disappoint. The Patatas Bravas came with a delicious aioli that really brought everything together, and the ribeye was flawlessly seasoned and cooked. It’s definitely shareable, especially if you're ordering other dishes as we did. And don’t leave without trying the butterscotch pot de crème—it was smooth, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. The cocktails were top-notch, too. Oso is a spot we’ll be recommending to anyone looking for a memorable meal and wonderful atmosphere.

Always good to return to the "chef's table" (bar seats) at Oso, indulge in the excellent food and wine, watch the kitchen choreography, and chat with David.
