The mains then came out, we ordered steak and triple cooked chips (medium rare) with a peppercorn sauce and lobster spaghetti. The turkey portion was quite nice and much more plentiful though! The lunch menu had 8 items on...it, all of which were appealing.Clearly there for lunch, they took our order very quickly and gorgeous, fresh, good quality food arrived. Oscar’s Restaurant and Bar is a family run modern English restaurant. Not only was it weird, it was also tiny. The accompaniments to the dishes were more like a garnish eg a few shredded leeks on top of salmon and two small carrots with the chicken. Own or manage this property? .

Word of advice save your money, eat in, at-least you won’t be £115 down, annoyed & still hungry. I'm very sorry to hear that your vegetarian friend did not enjoy their meal. The staff did not make up for the average food; the restaurant was almost empty but there was no friendly chitchat or checking in how we’re doing, we did not feel welcome at all.More.

Drinks (cocktails) were of a poor standard, mouldy garnish, synthetic taste. The menu has a good range of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes and it's clear they've focused on doing a few dishes well. One of our party was a vegetarian and ordered the veggie main which was supposed to be a mushroom tart. I went with some family for brunch and had the most incredible meal. Having been told we would not be charged for the two sent back drinks, we were also told we were getting 25% off the bill for uneaten food. This is the second time I have visited Oscar's. This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. Food. Really a gem of CMK! We ordered Camembert for starters to share, this was a nice meal. The owner, when I questioned being charged for the two drinks did not honour what was said, and then quite wrongly and rudely told me we had eaten ‘about half’ our meals - categorically wrong. Granted there was a misunderstanding about the time of your booking, but you were taken straight to a table and shown the menus immediately. We'll definitely return and highly recommend. In a nutshell. I would highly recommend the management team to improve the quality of service and portion sizes of the food; the food is no where near the standards for the price you are charging & no where near the quality. Why else book a table for a certain time ?? The seats were comfy and the atmosphere very pleasant. Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews. The bartender made a...great Mojito and Expresso Martini, he was friendly and chatty without being overly intrusive on our evening. Not only was it weird, it was also tiny.

Anyway, a very bad start and to cut a long story short, things did not get any better, we left the restaurant at 1025pm after an OK starter, an extremely fatty Rib Eye Steak and in total 3 hours of waiting !! The table we were sat at was on the ground floor towards the kitchen with a nice private booth. However the salmon portion was small and the side of mashed potato also small for the extra cost.

Been here a few times including once alone and still had a good time! . I really hope this restaurant does well, it is so lovely to have an independent, family run place in the heart of Milton Keynes. Looked like a starchy mess with a fishy smell and the tiniest bits of lobster (once again not worth the £22 it cost) & how could I forget they forgot our mash, it came out 10minutes after our main (in which we had finished by this time) the waitress came over 5 minutes later and just took the plates, didn’t ask how our meal was or ‘are you finished?’. Firstly the arrival. The cocktail I think was pre mixed and of a pretty low standard, especially when it was £8.50. Firstly the arrival. We ordered three courses, all of which were wonderful. The desserts we chose were delicious. We had a very friendly welcome to the restaurant, and all the staff we met were lovely. we arrived until we left. In sight of current news about 'Being Kind' you really should think about the discriminatory comments about age and the business that they work so hard in trying to please everyone.

I love that there is finally an independent restaurant in Milton Keynes that only uses locally sourced fresh food instead of bulk bought frozen food from large companies (that every other restaurant uses). The food was again lovely, and the service was generally great and always with a smile. all of us were dissappointed. Do you have ambition and passion for great food and service?

Maybe you would get your moneys worth there. A limited choice but something for everyone and (in my opinion) it's much better to offer fewer dishes and do them well which Oscar's certainly does! Visit two I must add my girlfriend ate 2 mouthfuls and was still eating the mash when the waitress took it away from us. My friend and I met yesterday during our lunch breaks. Food was very good, it is a small menu but all sounded great and believe locally sourced. We had 3 courses each and...all of us were dissappointed.

This restaurant has great service, high quality fresh food to offer in the Hub of Milton Keynes. In a nutshell. This business may have good reviews now, but when foodies start eating here, if they don’t seriously step up their game, this will not be a successful business. For £27 for two courses, and then the obligatory 'service charge' added on, my colleague felt really quite cheated, and I don't blame him. Does this restaurant offer table service? We visited Oscar's for the first time yesterday to celebrate my Husband's birthday. Very small portion, no thought given to vegetarians. I really hope this restaurant does well, it is so lovely to have an independent, family run place in the heart of Milton Keynes.

We was shown to our seat, took at-least 10 minutes before someone gave us a menu/drink menu, another 15 minutes went by before someone took our drink order (was very quite considering it was valentines). 90% left on each plate easily. A waitress dropped £10 on the floor without noticing so I kindly got up and handed it back to her, no thank you or anything just ‘Oh haha’ then Muttered something to her colleague.
