While I enjoy cooking some days you simply want to relax. Last evening I enjoyed dinner with my niece and her two young children. We were seated quickly, served quickly and received our check quickly. We were in a rush so I appreciated the attentiveness of the server. Now lets get to the food. We each ordered something different and we each loved our meal. While I don't eat our often this is one of my favorite dinner out spot. As if all this wasnt enough the outdoor seating area was perfect and comfortable. Thank you Red Sun we will be visiting you again soon. read more

Stopped here for our Friday night pizza tradition at recommendation of Oswego West Pierhead lighthouse boat crew, Steve and Chuck. Not disappointed! Delicious oven fired pizza - we tried the Purple Pig. We had to satisfy our sweet tooth so we got a slice of raspberry almond cake - YUM!! Great atmosphere and service!! Would definitely return if in the area again. read more

Very pretty inside, great ambiance with open kitchen. Had the Osso Bucco, very tenders The sweet potatoe purée was fantastic.

The pizza was good the atmosphere was cute on a nice street but the Cesar dressing tasted to much of mayonnaise

Consistent good food & service. Menu rotates seasonally. Fall/Winter menus are my fave.

5 stars to the water girl and bartender. was told 45 minute wait. Was ok with that. 45 minutes later was told 25 minutes. ok, fine sat at the bar and had a drink. When the table was ready it took ten minutes for the waiter to come. We placed the order and waited 30'minites with out seeing the waiter again. Drinker needed refill, except the water! We needed up walking out, after speaking to the hostess who said she would comp the entire meal. We declined. Ended up at Bistro 197. read more

This is our family favorite, and I can't say I have ever left disappointed. The menu items are creative and flavorful, well worth a higher price point than you might find at other area locations. The atmosphere is really modern, the service has always been attentive, and it really does feel like it belongs in a metropolitan area. Oswego is really lucky to have local businesses like this one! Tonight I ordered the Brutus pizza (brussels sprouts, bacon, lemon aioli) and an appetizer of the stretched bread, which has never failed to be excellent! I've always appreciated the variations in menu options; they draw from different sources and inspirations to create some quite unique dishes. read more

I had the Wood fire roasted chicken breast, parmesan risotto, rosemary chicken demi, broccoli [gf] Best risotto I ever had. The rosemary Demi-glaze was delicious. One of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Also had 2 glasses of homemade Red Sangria which were awesome. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Aesthetically pleasing with an open kitchen. Service is attentive without being pestering. And the food was tasty.

I travel to Oswego quite a bit. I go red sun once a twice a week. I also take any new travelers from my group here. Everyone has liked it. My favorite waiter is Steve. He does voice overs on the side and my favorite is probably his Scottish accent. Anyway the menu constantly changes and I look forward to there new menus. read more

Always one of our favorites when Apple picking in the Oswego area. We have missed dining here over the past 18 months. Did take out tonight and the Black Pepper Gnocchi Alfredo were amazing. My wife never eats more than half of an entre and she gobbled this up quickly. The Gnocchi were light and tasty. The mushrooms, spinach, and squash were an awesome combo. Also had the Fried Cornbread which I enjoyed. Still 5 stars from me! read more

Wonderful!!! Great service. Delicious food! We had stretch bread appetizer, clams, pizza and roasted chicken. Only snapped a pic of the chicken!! read more

The Red Sun Fire Roasting Co - Chicken with risotto. Delish! - Italian Near Me - Oswego, New York

Delicious food, fast and friendly service. So many options to choose from and a perfect atmosphere.

Red Sun is one of our go-to date night places in Oswego. The atmosphere is really chill and has a fun, industrial/artistic vibe to it. Chris is the absolute best waiter- he'll even do fun accents for flourish and is very patient. Red Sun uses a lot of fresh ingredients and their local farm-to-table Italian sausage is some of the best I've ever had. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars is that, occasionally, the main course is a bit off. Last time I was there, my pasta dish was clearly done before my partner's steak, and was on the lukewarm side, bordering on cold. Another night their mac and cheese was severely under seasoned. Honestly, though, any waiter or waitress here will take care of you if you have a problem, and these events are the rarity. All in all, they make some really delicious stuff here. I would definitely recommend for a date night. read more

We went up to take our daughter to Orientation in Oswego. The first night we ate at the place on the top floor with the outdoor patio. Unfortunately we were pleased with the service or food so we looked on here. We chose this based on reviews and wow we were so glad we did. I got Peruvian chicken. I substituted the beans and spinach for potatoes and wow was I glad I did. I honestly have to admit they just might have been the best potatoes I have eaten. The chicken was amazing as well. My wife and daughter also loved their meals. We are headed back up from Florida again on the 12th and we definitely will be eating there again. Our server which I believe was named Dave was awesome as well. He was pleasant to speak with and humorous. Thank you for the fabulous dinner and experience read more

Truly the worst experience. My family and I made a reservation here for graduation weekend, we understand that it was busy but we waited for everything. It till forever for the server to greet us, to get our drinks, appetizers, drinks came over wrong. We ended up having to leave as it took almost 2 hours for our food and the waitress only came over three times the whole time we were there. The manager wouldn't even come over to let us know what is going on. Extremely upset and they ruined what was suppose to be such a special day. I would not recommend AT ALL. I'm not sure being in business is the best thing for this restaurant. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Place is really nice and new .. get the stretch bread app with the cheese . This italian loved the Philly pork sandwich.. pretty much like what u would get in Philadelphia. Definitely a good find in a college town filled with cheap eats and lower quality places read more

We were staying at the marina close by after a rough day on the water with weather Looked up this restaurant online and decided to give it a try . It did not disappoint . The Thai lettuce wraps were delicious and so was the Shrimp pasta dish especially the sauce . We were able to see the chef preparing the food from our table . Service was great and so was the wine . We will definitely return when we are in the area again . Loved this place read more

Absolutely love their seasonally changing menu! I'm.vegan and they ALWAYS have at least one option and the kitchen is always willing to help. The servers and bar backs are wonderful, attentive and capable. The food is fantastic. Been here several times with zero complaints!! read more

This is one of two places in Oswego were the chefs understand seasonings and the technical aspects of cooking. During my visit I had the insalata salad and salmon. Both dishes were very rich in flavor, well portioned and nicely presented. Based on this experience, I plan on returning to try their baked goat cheese dip, Portobello stuffed with sausage and one of their pasta dishes. I hope during my stay they can access additional seafood and mushrooms . I would like to see how the chef would prepare these ingredients. read more

I really hate to sound negative especially after so many 5 star reviews but this place is very very bad. My friends came from out of town and wanted to eat there so i met them. I ordered pizza it was bad. Crust was burnt but they may call it chard. I had sausage on mine and the sausage was so hard i almost broke a tooth. One of my friends got pizza and removed the burnt sections and had a whole plate of burnt sections. My other friend ordered a steak medium rare and there was no sign of pink even on the inside. The chairs were so hard and uncomfortable we could barely get up. The old old windows had pealing paint. Needless to say i will never ever walk in there again. Service was ok because there were so many employees for such a small amount of patroons. The hardwood floors had a grease coating where the cooking area was and i had to walk very slowly to avoid falling. I paid much more for a 12" pizza that i would have paid for a 16" pie and any other place, and it was burnt. Im sorry but i would recommend this to anyone read more

Based on Yelp reviews, we suspected The Red Sun was one of the top restaurants in Oswego. We were not disappointed. Obviously popular, we decided on an early dinner on a Tuesday night and before we left every table was occupied and there were a few people waiting for a table. Service by Emily was very friendly and competent. Management was very responsive to my wife who was uncomfortable due to a cold draft and resolved the issue by adjusting the thermostat, turning off a ceiling fan and checked back twice. Food was special. My wife's pasta dish was excellent, including perfectly cooked al dente with tasty sausage made on site. My steak special was potentially very special except for too much salt. I couldn't finish it. Emily offered to replace it in kind or with anything else I wanted. I should have asked for a new steak, but it was getting late and I had a pizza instead. Too bad, because the steak dinner was a great recipe. Minus one star for the salt. I hope someone told the chef to avoid it happening again. So, in summary, excellent service, great pasta and sausage entree and an excellent plum mule cocktail...one of the best mules I have ever tasted. read more

We on Sat. before 2pm. The open board was on the sidewalk, we went in and wait 5 min. for someone to see us.....and we told they were closed.....it was still before 2pm.....we had to next door had lunch when we left went by and the sidewalk was still outside.....My guess is they can't figure out how to run a restaurant. read more

Absolute favorite of mine when it comes to restaurants. Very friendly customer service and superb delicious food. This place is top notch. Thank you! 5/5 stars!! A+++ read more

Excellent gem in a sleepy lake town. We stopped in for the first time yesterday afternoon, expecting a busy lunchtime crowd. The place was quiet and only a handful of tables were full. But, we got seated immediately, and our waiter was friendly and professional. The draught beer selection is excellent and the prices are astoundingly reasonable. They even have homemade white and red sangrias which were perfect on a 90 degree day. The food was creative, fresh and mostly locally sourced. We had the thai peanut chicken lettuce wraps and the roast pork sandwich. If we hadn't been so full, we would have tried one the home made desserts which also looked enticing. We will make this a regular stop whenever we are in the area. A+ read more

We began our meal by sharing the large Caesar salad. It was perfect for the three of us to share. Next we all had the special which was a perfectly prepared strip steak on a bed of mushroom risotto. Once again Red Sun delivered. We had a wonderfully relaxing evening with great food and top notch service! read more

Walked in with my family, and was astonished by the decor inside. Very comfortable restaurant setting! Lovely atmosphere. However, that's the only positive thing saving The Red Sun Fire from a 1-star rating. I ordered an incredibly simple item off the menu: a burger medium-rare with cheese. Literally that's it. After 20 minutes, I was presented with a very mediocre beef sandwich with potato chips (not fries). The bun was a crumbly white bread that could barely qualify as bread. I could not hold the burger without it breaking apart in my hands. The cheese from the burger stuck to the bread and was not even attached to the burger. And the best part, the burger was well-done. Completely wrong. On top of that, our waitress was sneaky in adding items. Like an up-sell at McDonalds, I was asked if I wanted to add items, rather than just writing down what I ordered. And on top, the waitress purposely did not mention any additional charges. I was charged EXTRA for cheese on a $13 burger. Incredible. Best part, after asking to send the food back, I was asked multiple times to take the food home so that I could still be charged for it. I laughed and politely refused several times. The look on our waitress's face was priceless! Pros: excellent decor, great dining atmosphere Cons: unappealing food quality, pushy wait staff, incorrect orders on simple items read more

Cute place, haven't been in a while. I applaud the local places that have survived the pandemic thus far

Just a tourist passing through. Got the Woodfire Chicken (not a huge chicken fan) but it was amazing! Girlfriend got the BBQ chicken pizza and that was also fantastic. read more

Very friendly staff and good food. I highly recommend this place to eat. Very good panini sandwiches

This place has great food and drinks and has great service and nice waiters they have good timing for the food

Red Sun's food never disappoints! Excellent pizzas and entrees at a reasonable price. The wait staff is friendly and attentive.

So glad we chose this restaurant for our one night in Oswego. The pizza was quality brick oven pizza (light, perfect dough with seasoned toppings), brick chicken was great, stuffed pepper had nice flavor, and the Cesar salad was perfect. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

We were there during the COVID lockdown, so were only able to get takeout from a restricted menu. Still, the food was very good. We both had the lamb chops which were well-seasoned and cooked to med rare. There was also a bed a spinach with a nice vinagrette. It would have been nice if they also included a vegetable. read more

Loved this place, so tasty and it has outdoor seating during those warm summer days, however recently the service was terrible. I was disappointed, our waitress was rude, maybe she was having a bad day but the place was way to empty for the rudeness + wait time. Wait time is usually bearable if you have a good staff; a rude staff member can be bearable with quick service. You can't have both rude and slow. I still recommend the pizza and the appetizer bread with cheesy/beer infused deliciousness, they're good. The wings not so much. I'll skip'em next time. read more

My previous landlord took me here with his wife and two young daughters when I first started college. I really like their foods. I don't remember the specifics on the dishes, all I do remember was that it was mainly Italian cuisine, and upscale cooking. Pretty good. The bar and its drinks were delicious. I would go here every other weekend for either a drink or lunch or dinner. They were one of the few decent restaurants in Oswego. Great place to go for an anniversary, birthday, or graduation. read more

Great seasonal menus. Consistently good food and service. Craft Cocktails, beer and wine selection are good.
