| - Welcome to Oscar's. We arrived early and checked in then went to the bar for a beverage. The Bar tender was friendly and responsive and had great recommendations for their craft cocktails. When our party was finally all together we contacted hostess and was promptly seated. There were several large parties so it was a little loud. Our drink orders were taken and were not exactly promptly brought. Our waitress was Lenore and our bus person was Maria. This may sound trite, but when asking for a diet coke most places ask if Diet Pepsi okay. Oscar's did not ask and some in our party do not care for Diet Pepsi. They should specify. (or Not??). I like that the Menu is one piece of paper on a cardboard backing. Finally our drinks arrive. We did not order wine because our waitstaff never returned after we said we were deciding on wine. Once they did return we just decided to order our main courses.
Our orders; Manny's stuffed shrimp. Shrimp was over cooked and tough to even cut. flavor lacked seasoning. Josie ordered Prime Rib medium with Caesar Salad, Salad bland did not have capers, but that is a probably a taste I like in the salad but not many do it that way anymore. Her Prime Rib was more rare than medium was tough and lacked favor as well. I also ordered Prime Rib Mid Rare which came more rare (I can mostly be okay with that). Blue Cheese wedge.(Bleu). Could have used more dressing but the cheese crumbles were sufficient. Also a wedge to me is old fashioned wedge not one that is broken in four parts on plate. The other guests had 8oz Filet (more like 4oz). It was cooked correctly with good flavor but lacked a few ounces. Cedar Planked Blackened Salmon, Cooked a little more done than our guest liked however the flavor was good. Wonder if strong seasoning covers lack of a great cook on the fish. We had the three sides for $20. Steamed Asparagus, this was salted but it seamed like an after thought not cooked in for flavor(cooking 101). So no real flavor, however, properly cooked. Smashed Potatoes, Warm around edges and cold in the middle and bland to the taste. Finally Potatoes Au Gratin, Not sure what this really was. It seamed like half shredded potatoes and whole. Had a white cheese on top and as the Smashed, cold in the middle. These potatoes also had a funky flavor and a texture that is unable to explain. At one point we had a Manger(we assume) stop and ask how things were. We responded with "It's Okay". No real response to this and she rambled on with some touristy rambling about our seat location. Not sure what this interaction was(Awkward, uncomfortable). In to the side dishes, we were told they were share size so I imagined A family style big plate. Each one except for Asparagus was more of a decent size for a side dish.
Since it was my Birthday they brought me a piece of Cheesecake with a candle. The Cheesecake tasted like it had been defrosted recently and had that freezer burn taste you get once thawed. The candle may have tasted better.
For the most part our wait staff was attentive and drinks were kept filled.
We had great expectations and half our party had been before and said it was quite different. As a rule we are just simple blue collar people who save up to go out and have a meal beyond our normal budget. Sometimes our meals are worth the expense, this, however was not. No photos, nothing stood out as a wow factor. Maybe the cook staff was focused on the big parties and we just took a back seat to the good food.
Goodbye Thank you for coming. We did not have an Exit farewell from the staff. (We may have left from the wrong door maybe). I can say I will not be back. The hype was not as good as reality. No Broads...I thought they had some showgirls or something. I can not recommend going here unless you like over priced, bland, over/under cooked, and freezer burnt food.
