Excellent service, excellent food, nice atmosphere. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the catfish sandwich, but I also had 1/2 of my wife's Croque Madame. That was awesome! Obviously we won't be returning, but if you live here (or close), you should go.

There was one very minor issue with my wife's dinner and before I had a chance to say ANYTHING...it was taken off our bill as a comp by the Manager. All in all this was a perfect location for a nice quiet casual dinner with my wife as we watched the water. BRAVO! Paul & Coleen Clapper, Syracuse, NY

Beautiful view of the river, in a cute downtown area, plenty of off street parking. We went for lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't packed, quite a few at the tables filled but service remained attentive. Best bartender too!

The restaurant on the corner of Bridge and West First Streets in the center of Oswego is probably not something you'd expect to find in the area, somewhere that adds an entirely different dimension to dining in the city - a showcase of cuisine inspired by the American south. We recently tried out Southern Fare with some friends and we were all extremely impressed with the restaurant. My wife and I got there a bit earlier than our friends, so we sat at the bar for a bit. As someone who doesn't drink, I'm always excited to see mocktails on the menu. My wife got a cocktail, I got a mocktail, we both loved the drinks and the bartender was extremely nice and personable. We made a reservation for 6PM on a Saturday, although it seemed we probably didn't need one this day, so when our friends showed up, we were sat right away. Our friends ordered cocktails, while we ordered another round for ourselves, and again, loved everything we got. We ordered some friend green tomatoes for an appetizer, which were a little bland, but the sauce was good and made up for it. We all ordered a different main dish and everyone was very happy with their food. I ordered a pork chop special - I love pork chops, but don't eat them often, as my wife isn't a fan, and pork chops can be difficult to cook properly. The dish was a lemon marinated pork chop, grilled, topped with a strawberry compote, crispy fried potatoes and roasted broccoli. The pork chop was huge, cooked perfectly, juicy, bursting with flavor. The broccoli and potatoes were also delicious and needed nothing added to them. It's probably one of the best meals I've had in CNY, period. It was a little bit higher priced, but it's what we expected, and the food was absolutely worth it. We will absolutely be back again.

It was from the beginning nothing less than disappointing to say the least. It came recommended from friends and family, but turned out to be less than desired. Starting out from requiring $3 to have some warm bread, which is akin to showing up to a Mexican restaurant that wants to charge you for chips & and salsa. Then following up to charging for $9 for a draft beer which is basically the price for a 6 pack. But all of that aside, they have a Haddock Fish Fry on Special. So I figure I'll have that and when she offers something other than fries, I say I'd like the mashed potatoes with gravy, (trying to choose a healthier option), she informs me they don't have gravy. Who serves mashed potatoes without gravy???? I mean seriously???!! So, I go ahead with the mashed without gravy, and hope for the best. Well.....................as could be expected at this point.............the fried Haddock is crusted in "who knows what!", but is the worst "Friday Night Fish Fry" that I have ever had. It was crusted in the most tasteless and over cooked coating that I have ever tasted. It was over cooked as well. It is one of the only meals i have not finished in recent years, which is frustrating for me as a local restaurant, but I cannot let this lack of quality continue for my fellow guests. Dine well my friends.
