Found out about this restaurant in Oswego after learning it has a couple locations around. It has a…read moreclassy casualness about it. Neat Kitchen And Bar is still a lot more casual though. A happy hour always helps. The food can get pricy but there's a few things at okay prices. Coming here was actually kind of hard because of where it actually is. It's kind of hidden from the main road. There's only one way to get in here and you have to make the correct turns. Has a bar with a good amount of seats at it. Rest of the inside has plenty of tables. It's $7 for cocktail specials at happy hour. The best one of these we got was the Caramel Harvest Spritz. Has a sweetness to it. This is made with apple cider, soda, and Wheatley vodka. It's $14 for the B.Y.O.B. Burger. We added $1 more to get the veggie patty. Looks a lot like a typical burger. These come with a side such as fries. Have to say it turned out pretty good actually. It's closed Mondays. There's another location in Westmont.

Neat Kitchen is exactly what Oswego's dining scene has been missing. We finally have a non-fast…read morefood, non-chain restaurant that's actually worth sitting down and dining at. While it's not overly fancy, more of an elevated bar-food concept, it still exceeded all of my expectations. They've also done an incredible job remodeling the space that used to be Prohibition. The ambiance is warm and welcoming while still feeling cozy and refined. The drinks are fantastic & honestly, I'd come here just for cocktails and appetizers with friends. My group ordered an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, and I went with the Golden Cider, which was like a fall-inspired Moscow Mule. We all loved our drinks and would definitely order them again. For an appetizer, we shared the mussels (a family favorite). The portion size was impressive & easily more than what you get at most places & the sauce was absolutely delicious. The accompanying bread complemented it perfectly. I'd absolutely reorder this. For my meal, I went with the Shrimp Po'Boy since it's not something you often see around here, while the others in my party tried the Wagyu burger and loved it. The shrimp on my sandwich were perfectly battered and fried, and the sandwich itself was enormous with great flavor and portion size all around. Service was great as well; our waitress was friendly and attentive, and we had a wonderful overall experience. I'm genuinely so happy that Oswego finally has a solid local dining option. I highly recommend checking out Neat Kitchen whether for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or just drinks and apps, it's a fantastic addition to the area. I wish I did a better job at taking photos but we were all so hungry and excited that I forgot lol

The warm atmosphere, the cozy décor...it wasn't just a restaurant, it was a hug with a menu. Now let me give Miss Dee her flowers because she absolutely earned them. She was attentive, patient, and so kind. The menu was HUGE, I mean, enough options to have me questioning every life decision I'd ever made, and she happily helped us narrow it down without making us feel rushed. We love a server who knows her stuff. Honestly, I'm surprised this place wasn't packed wall to wall because the service, atmosphere, and food deserved a full house. Can we PLEASE talk about that ranch? Somebody's grandma has to be back there guarding the recipe because there is no way that came out of a bottle. Every bite was a little flavor explosion that had me dunking everything I could find. Then came the cream of chicken and rice soup. Whew. They didn't bring me a cup, they brought me what felt like a warm hug in a bowl. Rich, comforting, and so nostalgic it had me wondering if my grandma had secretly been hired in the kitchen. And the portions? Oh, baby...come hungry. Matter of fact, skip breakfast, cancel lunch, and maybe do a little stretch beforehand because they are FEEDING people here. I don't think I've ever been that full in my life, and somehow I was still trying to figure out if I had room for one more bite. Every dish tasted like comfort, love, and childhood memories all rolled into one. This was easily one of the most nostalgic meals I've had in a long time. Needless to say, I'll be back...probably wearing stretchy pants next time.

The fries are extremely thick cut, and ended up being closer to baked potato sticks than a fry's.

We told the server when we ordered our drinks that we wanted to order apps right away because we had a toddler with us. Apparently when nobody is in there and they have nothing going on they ignore their customers. Finally put the order in and we were brought small plates. Every single one of them was dirty with what looked like buffalo wing sauce. Then they brought us new ones, and they were all dirty as well. The apps still were not out. We decided at that point it was best we leave and go somewhere else. If they give you that and present it to you in the open, I could only imagine what we cannot see looks like. There needs to be better options in downtown Oswego.

The entire experience was AMAZING!!!…read more We had the most incredible experience at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant! We came in to celebrate our engagement, and from the moment we sat down, Alex made us feel so special. He was beyond attentive, so warm, and truly went above and beyond in every way. The sweetest part? He surprised us with a celebratory glass of champagne for me and my fiancé, which honestly made the night feel even more magical. It's rare to come across service that genuine--he didn't just serve us, he celebrated us. Between the amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and Alex's top-tier service, this is a night we'll never forget. We'll 1000% be back... and yes, we're absolutely asking for Alex every time!

Baby, we started off on the WRONG foot. I came here with my family of eight, which I understand can…read morebe a little complicated for a restaurant, but honey, I made this reservation THREE WEEKS in advance. Three. Weeks. So I thought we were all set. Our reservation was for 6:00, and we arrived at 5:54. We were told to wait until six, which was perfectly fine. Six o'clock rolls around and we're told they're still cleaning the table. Okay, we wait. Then we wait. And wait. Thirty minutes later, we find out the people who had the table STILL hadn't even left. Baby...what exactly were we reserving three weeks ago, a future dream? They offered us a complimentary appetizer, which I appreciate in theory, but when you've got a party of eight waiting 40 minutes past their reservation time, I'm not really looking for the cheapest appetizer on the menu. I'm looking for the table I reserved. Eventually, we were seated, and thank GOD for our server Alexis B, because they completely turned the experience around. Funny, knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and genuinely one of the best servers I've ever had. If I could give them five stars separately, I would. They made us feel welcome and somehow kept the whole table laughing after that rocky start. The food had some hits and misses. The crab cake was a little too spicy for my taste, although the rest of the table enjoyed it. The mini sliders, however? DELICIOUS. That buttery, well seasoned bun was doing exactly what it needed to do. Then came my Entourage burger, and baby...THAT burger understood the assignment. It was absolutely packed with flavor. So good that I practically inhaled it. My server even asked if I wanted another one because apparently I ate it fast enough to qualify for a second round. Unfortunately, the management situation left a lot to be desired. After the issues getting our table, the managers seemed to keep watching our group throughout the night. If you're going to stare, baby, at least commit to the performance! It made an already awkward situation feel even more uncomfortable. Honestly, my server Alexis B, was the ONLY reason this experience ended on a positive note. They were so charming and personable that by the end, they felt more like a friend than a server. I'm genuinely going to miss them. The food was good, and that burger was fantastic, but a three-week reservation should not turn into a 40 minute wait with a party of eight standing around wondering when they're going to eat. So unfortunately, I'm leaving with two stars. The food gave me reasons to come back, but the reservation experience and management gave me reasons to stay home. And to my server: you were the star of the night. Protect this person at all costs.

Craft beer, tasty bites and Bill Murray on the BIG screen in the middle of a brewery…read more.. In the immortal words of Liz Lemon, "I want to go to there." So I did. Because I'm a big girl and I can do these kinds of things if I so choose. Plus, I was meeting an old friend up here, for the monthly Brew & View series showing Wes Anderson's 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.' Let the record show that I was early and my friend was late. It's important that you know that because he's a manager at a job I used to work at, and I'd actually gotten suspended from that job for a single day for being late all the time. It's also important to note that the day I was suspended from working was, serendipitously, Bill Murray's 61st birthday. I know it was meant to teach me a lesson, but it really just gave me a chance to go out and par-tay. When I returned from my suspension, my manager friend (not the one who suspended me) jokingly asked if I'd learned my lesson. Ha! Me? Learn a lesson? Pffft. Not on my watch. So anyway, he suggested we give the monthly (sometimes twice a month) event a shot since it had been a while since we'd seen each other and because beer and Bill Murray, duh. So I get there early because I wanted to snag a decent seat in the movie room, which has not only the very large screen (about a quarter of the size of a regular movie theater screen), a stage, a full bar, a few banquette booths facing the screen, rows of high-boys and a second level where you can watch from above if you really want to be a jerk to your server. I was surprised it wasn't more packed, since the movie showing is free, though you can happily spend your dough on some of Two Brothers' hand-crafted brews and delicioso food from the Chefs here. I think that because it wasn't busy that my friend and we made it a little awkward with our talking and laughing and such, but I think that it's intended to be a more casual showing where you can whisper amongst friends and quote lines and such. The only neg on that is the kitchen is sooo far from where the movie room is, that it's near impossible for your food to stay hot after the trek to the further ends of the building. I ordered a Bare Tree to drink and about a zillion menu items including the grilled octopus, mussels, vegan tacos, and a side of my favorite fries. It was a little difficult to eat in the dark of the cinema, but I managed. Also lost my spoon in the bowl of mussels and broth, but whatever. My friend fished it out and all was good. Our server was really great. I felt for him running around in the dark, taking beer and food orders, and getting ignored by customers who were too busy watching the flick to reply when he inquired about them perhaps wanting another beer. That dude had patience and I hope people tipped him well. You can follow their movie schedules through the Two Brothers Roundhouse Facebook page. They usually pick some pretty awesome flicks... lots of great stuff with Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, Jeff Goldblum, Jeff Bridges, and more. I believe the next showing is March 13th with Pulp Fiction and I'm pretty sure there's a mini Lebowski Fest in the works as well. See you there!
