We ordered a drink called the Pear Necessities along with another drink called Yes You Cran. The drinks were nothing short of amazing & incredibly refreshing. Our server, Gabrielle G also was fantastic. She gave great insight as to the items on the menu along with the drink, as well as, desserts. We ordered the pan fried cod along with the fried chicken & chicken sandwiches respectively. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries on top. Last but not least, the ambiance was also just right. Our table was just off the main bar but adequate enough to carry on a nice conversation as well as take in the surrounding area visible through the large windows. If you get the chance, please check out Southern Fare (see pictures). Fantastic place for a night out to eat in Oswego, NY. Enjoy!!

Some of the bbq was very good, loved the turkey. Brisket was good but a little dry. Disappointed on how the sausage was served. Sliced and then reheated, which made it very dry.

What to say about Red Sun that hasn't already been said- the restaurant is one of, if not, the best…read morethat Oswego has to offer. Fresh ingredients, delightful flavors, a curated menu and freshly made deserts! We have frequented this restaurant each time we are in town and truly. It never disappoints. From the appetizers to the main courses to the cocktails- Red Sun delivers. On our most recent outing I had the Pig and Swig pizza- fire roasted with pork sausage, broccoli, red onions, red pepper and mozzarella this was absolutely delicious! We shared the fire roasted wings too which were amazing! I had a cocktail- which sadly I cannot remember the name of but I do know that it has my favorite gin- Empress. Red Sun is one of the very few restaurants in Oswego to carry this delightful brand- and it makes me super happy! Laurie the owner, has been in business for quite a while in Oswego and also owns the delightful Port City Cafe right next door as well as the new and exciting Lorbird in Fulton- another amazing experience. We were so fortunate to meet and spend time chatting with her and let me say- this lady knows her stuff. Most inspiring is that she knows her customers and their tastes and she knows how to be successful! Red Sun is an absolute must when visiting Oswego- you won't be disappointed! It's an elevated experience that I truly hope will inspire other establishments to rise to!

It was just all right. Nothing special so it gets an average star. Have the Five Cheese…read moreCheesesteak. Had lots of cheese but that is where it ended. Bun was fresh and soft but little flavor.

Went there about a week and a half ago and was absolutely blown away at how bad things had gotten…read more First, we arrived and we immediately told that the grill wasn't working so all we could get was fried food or the salad bar. All we both wanted was the salad bar, so we decided that this didn't matter. We did however watch at least 10 other parties walk back out. After we were seated, we went to the salad bar and noticed that they were out of just about everything. The salad dressings were all empty so when I got back to the table and asked our server for ranch dressing and quickly brought out two plastic containers with dressing. The temperature in the restaurant was very cold, to the point where the people at the table next to us commented that they felt like we were camping and that we should huddle up and build a campfire. When they commented to the server how cold it was, the reply they received was "yeah, I don't know why it's like that". Not I'll turn up the thermostat, just I don't know why it's like that. When we went back up to the salad bar, still nothing had been refilled, but this time I had to go to the bar to ask for dressing. The servers were all huddled at the bar (probably for warmth!). Needless to say, a one star rating was generous based on this visit. Between the heat issue, the grill not working and the fact that they seemed to be out of everything at the salad bar, they would have been much better off closing for the day. People can understand and forgive that. A visit like this, we can't.

I was kind of hesitant to stop here as some of the other reviews weren't so pleasant, however we…read moreactually stayed at the hotel that this restaurant is in and just to make sure being a bar and grill I wanted to see what they had so we checked out the menu before sitting and yeah, no problem I can't remember the name of the way Chris but she was awesome very attentive and helped my wife out with a drink but I'll get that out in a minute. We started with appetizers and we were very impressed. I had some fish strips and she had some clams, and both were very tasty. After this I ordered a fake haddock beer battered onion rings and she had a macaroni and cheese with seafood. Everything tasted just wonderful. It was a nice breezy evening and we sat out on the porch overlooking the river which was only about 100 yd from the lake anyway. The part I wanted to brag about was when my wife showed me the cocktail menu and asked what she thought I would think she would like and I mean this light-heartedly because my wife does not like the taste of alcohol. There's only one particular flavor of wine for example that she can have and I've tried it, it tastes like a spoonful of sugar, I'm not a big fan.. but either way they didn't have that there and nothing else on the cocktail menu looked to me like she was going to enjoy it however I had a video that I had saved from you too a year ago of oranda bartender making a drink that could be served to people that don't like the taste of alcohol. I'm not going to go into what was in it here however I showed the ingredient list to the waitress and asked her if she thought that the bar would have all of that and she replied yes so she wrote down to each individual ingredient and came back with this cool looking glass full of pinkish liquid it had two oz of alcohol in it according to the list I gave her, and my wife absolutely loved it. So basically from a waitress telling a bartender. Here's what I want but I don't know the name of it, but here's what's in it... They nailed it. . Add that to everything else that went splendidly, and yeah I would definitely come here again.
