How did we not know that this fabulous breakfast haven was just around the corner? Well we do now!…read moreWe popped by one frosty morning to sample their wares and it was worth the trip! We were promptly greeted and seated and our server was very attentive. They are apparently known for their raisin bread so my husband had their raisin bread French toast sandwich and I had an omelette. Being that it was our first time- the server surprised us with the cinnamon pancakes! Yummmmmy. The omelette was good- a bit thin, and the choices for cheese are very limited. The home fries while large in portion are uneventful- and basically just potatoes. No onion, no peppers, no flavor save for the salt I added. Other than those few things- it was a great experience and we bought a loaf of their raisin bread which is TO DIE FOR! They have an onsite bakery that produces white, wheat and rye breads as well! We shall return!!

The food was only okay- I had a frittata that sufficed but didn't quite hit the spot for me. Only Tabasco for hot sauce which is a choice. The raisin bread was very good as advertised. I'd probably get that as French toast if I go back. This place does the job but I wasn't amazed. Actually probably a 3 star, but the staff was so nice it's a 4.

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!

Classic Upstate Italian. Family has been going there for years - super nice people:)…read more I think the business has made it to the next generation, and while they have simplified the menu, they have also lost a bit of attention to detail. Positives: Wedding soup is perfect! Salad with Italian & crumbly blue is excellent. Great steak and pasta choices Great bar & wine choices. Slight critiques: The bar is too high, basically difficult to eat at - plus it's not very attractive. Gone are the days of complimentary white garlic pizza at the bar:( The Sunday Vona's sauce is good, but something seems to have changed? Maybe a tad too much sugar? Not sure. The chicken Marsala came out in chunks, not pounded as it should be. A classic dish like this should not be reduced a "chicken riggy" (if you don't know what that is your not missing much in the culinary tradition of upstate NY) I understand veal is expensive and requires more culinary expertise - sad to see it go. Overall great place! But the lack of culinary detail to the classic Italian recipes that made this place great means that a 4 star review is generous - meaning I hope they improve because we love Vona's. Improvement could be as simple as staying true to original recipes or even finding better Italian recipes.

Added the eggplant a top of it. I thought they used it as a sponge to wipe up all the oil. There's so much sauce you could take a bath in it not a traditional Italian place which means I don't have any of those classics, but I wouldn't come back to this place.
