| - Me and my boyfriend Roland ate here last night for our anniversary, 5-16-16, because we met here. When we met, it was during his company's Christmas party which had an open bar so I don't remember what the food was like but I do remember they make delicious martinis! Honestly, there are so many other places I would have rather gone to for this price point, but I'm so glad we came here. The food was really, really good.
Roland ordered Carolyn's Cut Prime Rib ($34) and I had Joey C's Filet Mignon (12 oz - $46) with a side of Bearnaise sauce. We ordered 2 sides - Brussels Sprouts with Caramelized Onion and Bacon ($8) and Ralph's Smashed Potatoes ($7). You can order three sides for $20 but we couldn't decide on a third. Our server, Lenore, was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. She even double checked ingredients with the chef for me since I'm gluten intolerant-- and lucky for me, they have many choices for people with allergies.
As for the food, it was SO GOOD! I couldn't get over my Filet. I ordered it medium-well and it was cooked perfectly, which almost never happens. I always order a side of Bearnaise sauce with my steak and they make it pretty well, although I like it just a bit tangier. And the Smashed Potatoes - OMG. Order these for sure! They will clog your arteries but they are the most deliciously decadent potatoes ever. Roland's prime rib was about a pound in weight and also very yummy. We are big fans of Lawry's Prime Rib and he thinks Oscar's does a pretty good job. I tried a bite - so delicious! He also used the complimentary bread (he said was amazing) to soak up the juices. The downfall is that we were both disappointed with the Brussels Sprouts. They weren't very memorable at all and lacked flavor even though they were cooked with onion and bacon. It was nice to add a little freshness to the heavy meal, but I wouldn't order these again. After our entrees, Lenore was so sweet and brought us cheesecake for our anniversary. Though I couldn't eat it, Roland enjoyed it. Thank you Lenore!
Additionally, I love the restaurant space. It's totally old school and charming. The dining room is circular with windows for walls. It looks straight down Fremont street, or at least it did before the scaffolding for the zip line was built. This definitely takes away a lot but the room itself is still beautiful. We came on a Monday night and there were just a few other tables with diners. It was quiet and the lighting was romantic.
With two entrees, two sides, and a glass each of house Merlot and house Pinot Noir, our bill came to $130. It's pricey but it was worth it for the special occasion. We will probably revisit every year but I don't know if I can wait that long to have the Filet Mignon and Smashed Potatoes again! Honestly, I'm daydreaming about it right now. Thank you Oscar's for a beautiful dinner!
