A friend and I stopped by for brunch and everything was delicious. We had the lamb burger with fries, the french onion soup with a side of bread and sweet potato fries and a crème brûlée for dessert. For drinks we had the tropical mimosa experience. It's definitely a cute little spot with a nice ambiance. The waiter was attentive so I have no complaints. I definitely recommend. read more

Two starts only because the server was kind and new. I honestly don't know how this place has good reviews because this was one of the worst meals I've paid for in a long time. We went on Tuesday for the all-you-can-eat mussels special, and the mussels were horrible. They were overcooked, mushy, and had no flavor whatsoever. The "broth" tasted like someone chopped up tomatoes, herbs, a little garlic and onion, threw it in water, and called it a day. There wasn't even any salt to give it any flavor. We ordered both the classic tomato broth and the coconut curry, and somehow they both tasted equally bland. The coconut curry barely tasted like curry at all. We ended up eating the fries just to make the meal somewhat bearable. Because it was an all-you-can-eat special, I told our server that the mussels were incredibly bland and asked if we could take the second serving home so we could season them ourselves. He agreed and put in the order. Since he told us that was fine, we forced ourselves through what we had, ordered dessert, and waited for the second serving to go. When the second order arrived, we asked for to-go boxes. That's when a manager came over and told us we couldn't take anything from the all-you-can-eat special home. Fine, but why wasn't that explained before? We didn't even order from a menu. We came in because of the sign outside advertising the special. Then she had the nerve to tell us that if we had an issue with the food, we should have said something. We DID. That's literally why our server ordered us another serving to go and iexplained this to her. At that point we asked if they could at least remake the mussels with some seasoning. I specifically said they tasted like they had been boiled in water and needed a lot flavor, even if it was only salt. They brought them back, and absolutely nothing had changed. Still bland. Still flavorless. Still no culinary intent. Our server seemed new and was genuinely nice, so this isn't a complaint about him. The problem is the kitchen and the manager's response. Charging $115 for this meal is outrageous. Nearly $70 of our bill was for mussels that were practically impossible to enjoy. If you can't season mussels, don't make them the centerpiece of a weekly special. Save your money and go to BKB on Macon Street instead. Their mussels actually have flavor, and you'll leave feeling like your money was well spent instead of wondering how you just spent over $100 on tap water boiled seafood. read more

Haven't been here in forever but we decided to do dinner here. The steak and fries were ok, steak needed salt and lots of it. Then it was much better. Escargot was buttery and tender. We couldn't skipped the so called garlic bread. Service was ok, not amazing but not horrible. I love the cozy atmosphere of this place. read more

They have the best burger is Bed-Stuy! Seriously. I've heard it was good but now I understand why I kept hearing about it. For $19 you get the spicy lamb burger with goat cheese and a beer but I opted for wine. The fries were good. My friend enjoyed the mussels and the Brussel sprouts were also good too. Definitely check them out. What we ordered + the price: sauvignon topette $8 cote du ventoux $8 onion soup $13 fried brussels sprouts $1 spicy lamb burger $19 mussels $21 read more

Ordered a medium burger. Burger was given to someone else at my table. That someone else took a bite before realizing that said burger (which was cooked med well) was not their burger. Brought this to the attention of the server, who kindly took burger away for re-fire. Burger comes back out to me and is now cooked closer to well, except for a tiny edge piece that was cooked medium....the same spot in which my dining companion bit from. Once the new burger was dropped, no one checked in until it was time for the check. I guess I wouldn't have checked in on my table either if I knew some bullshit was afoot. I ate most of the burger anyway, because I was starving. But do better, Oskar! read more

I've been here twice, both for breakfast and lunch and it's such a cute little spot! The first time I had lunch outside and we had wine and some kind of sandwich with lettuce onions and burrata. I can't recall the name of it or if it's even still offered but it was very tasty. I then went here for brunch and dined inside. I had the eggs Benedict, which consisted of two perfectly poached eggs on toasted sourdough bread, paprika hollandaise sauce, with tossed green salad. I chose the Madrange ham but next time will go for the spinach as it was a little protein heavy for me. The eggs were amazing! This restaurant shines the most in their bread imo. It's really fresh tasting! Keep on the look out for their daily specials and seasonal menu changes. Their wine menu was pretty good as well. I did feel a little rushed both times and had to request a few things (refills, extra butter, the check) ourselves, but other than that this place is a great additional to the neighborhood and I will be going back! read more

I had a mixed experience here. Went with my family and a local friend for dinner this past Saturday night. I love the way the place looks and feels. Very cool, with great artwork. We got some baby octopus which was served with zucchini... it was pretty good. Also had their French Onion Soup, which was too thick for my taste. My wife loved that it was very sweet, and I agree... flavor was nice. My daughter had a veggie burger, which she didn't like. My friend and I both got Fish and Chips, and it was probably the BEST one I've ever had anywhere, hands down. The fish was juicy inside of a very nice, crispy, fried exterior. I also got a side of vert (sautéed green beans) which were decent & fresh but could have used more garlic. Here's the little thing that bothered the hell out of me... the fries served with the main were quite good. I really wanted to gobble them down, but the plate is served with a SMALL paper cup of ketchup. I appreciate that it's paper and not plastic, but there was only enough ketchup for about 10 fries. We asked the waiter for 3 more ketchup (3 or of 4 of us were short). I think Zeke forgot, as he was getting really busy. In addition to having a large section inside the restaurant, he also had what appeared to be the entire sidewalk. Now... I don't like a waiter to rush or be rushed, so I don't fault him for going at his speed. I respect that. But how did he wind up with so many tables? I know you can get slammed suddenly... but we actually finished our mains before a fellow who may have been the manager asked if we needed anything. Once he reminded the waiter, Zeke came out with a few cups of ketchup on a tray. (That was a cute presentation. Back in my day, I just plopped them all in one hand!) By that time, we were pretty frustrated. I run a few things could be in play here. The weather was pretty nice yesterday. They may not have anticipated that rush of business and understaffed. A host could also have been able to control the rate at which the waiter gets new tables by asking people to wait a few minutes. That can be frustrating for prospectective customers who are starving, but a good host knows how to keep ppl from walking away. But I wish I got a photo of the fries and this little cup of ketchup to show you. They need to at least double the amount of ketchup served if they're not going to be fast about getting back to tables. read more

I dream about their lamb burgers! I have been going here for years. One of the best French spots in the US!

This place seemed bustling when we caught the A or C at Utica, so we decided to make a stop for a family brunch on a weekend. The place was fairly deserted given that we went early, and the staff was incredibly kind. The ambience feels eclectic chic, and I got similar vibes from when I dined in Parisian sidewalk cafes: it was a place where you had "salon-style" conversations over good food and great wine...or, at least, I can imagine that if I were a local. I ordered the eggs benedict, and it was perfectly creamy and unctious. The side salad did its job of cutting through the cream. I wouldn't recommend the nitro cold brew I ordered; for nitro, it was a little bitter. Someone was berating the staff and being snippy about knowing what a negroni was...I feel like the one unfortunate part of this place is that sometimes the clientele can be pretty harsh to the staff. If you're able to relax and revel in a laid back, chatty environment, this is the place for you. read more

Classic neighborhood restaurant with laid back vibes. I go here when I want a great merguez lamb burger and a cocktail. The servers are friendly and helpful. I left a bag there once with a passport and hundreds of dollars in my wallet and made sure it was safe until I was able to pick it up. read more

One of our favorite neighborhood spots as of late! They never disappoint, both for brunch or for dinner. They have a lamb burger that I dream about and the kids menu is great for our son. He even gets a coloring book and crayons to keep him busy (mom win). Their daily specials are amazing (don't miss the mussels), and they have a full drink menu. LOVE Chez Oskar! read more

We went for the all-you-can-eat mussels (3 rounds for $25 each). Firstly, I'd recommend the tomato bisque mussels (the coconut curry flavor is lacking in flavor and surprisingly wasn't as good as the tomato flavor). I haven't gone for the other food so I can only speak on the mussels. They are a good deal, not the most delicious in the world but definitely worth going if you're a big mussels fan. We only ate 2 rounds and we were quite full. The fries were good. I swapped my fries for sweet potatoes, and that was delicious but probably part of the reason we didn't eat all 3 rounds. I don't feel a need to go back for the mussels but I would recommend to friends! Taste 6/10 (I added a bit of salt to my mussels and that helped) Quantity 10/10 Ambiance 8/10 Service 7/10 (we had to track our server down after each round and that took a while) Overall experience 7/10 read more

Said this was medium rare and argued back that it was medium rare and that to make it rare was impossible, like what? Soup burned, escargot bland, octopus tough (they said the chunkier part would be tougher yes slightly but not dramatically) Yikes! Wine good though! read more

Really solid French food in the heart of Stuyvesant heights. The food was all clearly fresh and delicious which was great. The service was ok, not overly kind but most of the staff does speak French which is nice. The ambiance is probably the best part! It's very eclectic and super fun and interesting to dine in such a space. They also have a great outdoor space for dining as well which was wonderful. read more

Good food, GREAT ambiance, attentive service. Crowded with happy diners and drinkers. Appropriately noisy. Fun!

Hey Yelpies, Twice in one week means the food and the drinks were good! I really enjoyed my lamb chops with risotto, they were cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy, just the way lamb chops should be to enjoy. The food was flavorful much appreciated. Drinks were tasty but carefully measured. I had two flavored martinis and felt mildl at best. Both visits the waiters were friendly, polite and engaging, offering great suggestions and checking frequently enough to see if we needed anything. I love the decor quirky and colorful. Very comfortable spot definitely on my list of repeat visits. Check them out you will enjoy. read more

Love Chez Oskar. I order fish and chips every time I see it on a menu and this place has best fish and chips I've ever had. It's a shame they moved it to only the brunch menu. Their fish and chips are next level and they should bring it back to the dinner menu. Other than that the food is always amazing, the staff always so welcoming, and the ambiance perfect for a date or a casual meal with friends. I will make any excuse to eat here. read more

Still a solid place to have a decent drink and good food . I havent come here for years but after leaving the winery we needed some good grub and decided to revisit chez oskar . We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here . I decided to get the mussels (curry because apparently they no longer make any other kind) and it was tasty . My napolita (the drink) was great too . I will say that they have a bug issue and it must be irritating during the summer months now that they have out door seating . read more

Great hidden gem in the heart of Bedstuy. We came here on a weekday lunch with no reservations, and were seated quickly. I would recommend the croque madame, which came with a light green salad.

Each had a burger - mine the lamb, hers the beef. Both were delicious. Great service and friendly staff. Will return again soon.

Love this spot and I hope to go back to it again if I'm ever in NY. The French toast combo was delicious from FT itself to the bacon and the fruit cup. Plus the mimosas here were worth the price and made the experience all the better. Incredible staff as well and wonderful ambiance on the inside with cool interior design and tasteful music selection. read more

Disgusting and poor service. Ordered a burger and a croissant benedict at a quiet hour, a lot of empty seats but only for us to wait 45 minutes with no food so we decided to have it to-go but my croissant benedict was not even assembled and deconstructed in 4 different boxes with the eggs benedicts just thrown in carelessly. The burger had no toppings like it was supposed to be included. Disappointing and will not come back at all. Trash food at best. read more

I love this place it's a neighborhood gem. I came here with a group of friends for dinner on a Sunday night. We were seated immediately, there doesn't seem to be too much of a rush. The place is really big, with one side for the bar on the other side for the restaurant. Plus the space is really cool very well laid out lots of cool colors I love the artwork on the wall which is like impressionist African-American portraits. The wait stuff was really helpful and accommodating and recommended the Stay in lime for me cocktails as well as the go overboard. They were delicious and really different. The stay in lime was smoky with mezcal and the go overboard was a bourbon cocktail but tasted very different because of the lime and ginger in it. For food, We tried the mussels which were not that great, but the truffle fries were outstanding. we also tried the grilled octopus, which was truly outstanding and I will definitely recommend this and will get it every time I go. We tried a special for the night which was a mushroom risotto with grilled shrimp and that was really well-made and the risotto itself was delicious. We got the cheese platter but I don't really recommend us. And for dessert we tried the flourless chocolate cake which was very decadent and something I'll always get but to be clear it's really rich. We tried the key lime pie as well it's a good pie, it's just not something that I would personally get again. I'll be back again for sure. read more

The food was excruciatingly late to our table. Server went out of her way to pamper the table next to us while basically ignoring the fact rain was pouring into the restaurant making the whole dining experience regretful. We had to ask for oil and vinegar twice since salad was not seasoned. It was brought to us by a rather ill-humored busboy. The waitress who did have a pleasant demeanor, kept trying to sell us drinks while waiting forever for our food. Veggie burger was Costco burger. Furthermore, while arriving 15 minutes prior to 7:00, happy hour pricing was not applied to our drinks ( these were actually good but pricey.) A shame, since the place has a local feel that could prove to be charming turned into a nightmare dinner. I blame management. Will never return. read more

We waited to write this as someone in our party emailed the owners/managers as an FYI but over 3 weeks later, no response. It appears they don't really care, which is unfortunate, as evidenced by lack of replies via email or other reviews we've seen posted online. We ordered 3 burgers and a bottle of wine. The lamb burger (and their fries are awesome, btw) were great. The two regular burgers were a disappointment. One was ordered medium without a bun due to a gluten allergy (your server was great to mention that the fries are cooked in the same oil where gluten is present, kudos for that), but there was no real alternative to not having a bun (no lettuce wrap, no offer to put it on a salad, a different starch, etc.) Not a big deal but a little surprising. The second burger was ordered medium-rare with no mods. Both burgers arrived overcooked--well done to be exact. We decided to send the supposed medium-rare one back, but it seemed like it was a little bit of a production; the staff seemed shocked and annoyed, glad we didn't send both back! Surprisingly, there was no apology; again, not a big deal. The server took the burger with the toppings back to the kitchen and left the plate with fries so the diner could eat while the burger was remade. This was appreciated, but when they brought the new burger out, there were no burger toppings included, it was literally the burger and bun on a small plate. We didn't bother asking for new toppings since everyone was already bothered by us. Honestly, the burger should've come replated with fresh fries and a new toppings, that's typical of service. The most unexpected part, imo, there was no effort by staff or management to check if the burger was ok after it was remade. To be fair it was, but shouldn't someone check? It seemed like another diner, not with us, also sent his burger back, but we were unaware of the specifics. We were not looking for comped food or a fine dining experience, just normal service. It's not often we send food back, we know what it's like behind the scenes, we've spent time in the industry. My guess being Memorial Day, the normal staff wasn't there, but I assume there was a manager present? Disappointing, sorry to say! read more

Service was friendly, the decor is wonderful, the food... ehhhh. I got the pasta a la creme which comes with pork belly in it, a nice touch. But the noodles felt a bit undercooked so kind of chewy, and the pork belly was alright but not as moist as I've had at other places. I got a side of spinach which was also just ok as was the wine. The best part was probably the flourless chocolate cake. I came on a busy night and I know sometimes the chefs are rushing food out the door (no excuse but it happens), so I may give it another shot at a less busy time. But overall, my experience of the food doesn't live up to how alluring the place looks. read more

I found this place on a best of list of Brooklyn restaurants with outdoor heated seating. Chez Oskar didn't disappoint. The happy hour cocktail prices were based on the temperature. At 40 degrees my authentic mulled wine was $6. At 1 degree it would be $1. My dining companion had the South African red blind canned wine and said it was better than expected. My gruyere burger came with mesclun salad and I upgraded to homemade sweet potato fries. I asked for Dijon mustard on the side. The food was fresh and delicious. We split a creme brûlée which was just perfect. They had overhead heating and also mini fireplaces. I'd like to go for dinner when it gets warmer. Also 10% off with Yelp check in:-) read more
