Locals and travellers love Oscars for its warm, relaxed vibe and consistently great food. Reviewers rave about brunch and breakfast, excellent coffee, and thoughtful gluten free, vegan and lighter options. Popular dishes include the Atlantic Salmon, lamb cutlets, chicken and pumpkin tagliatelle, arancini, chicken bao buns, parma, roasted pumpkin risotto and haloumi salad, with many calling out well made cocktails and tasty desserts. Its a top pick for casual catch ups and celebrations, with a spacious dining room, private rooms for events and handy split payments.
The hotel side gets plenty of praise too, with clean, airy rooms, comfy beds, high ceilings, double showers and balconies, plus a great central location within walking distance of the main street. Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive and accommodating, from fitting in walk ins to printing large print menus and helping with special occasions. Several reviewers mentioned Matthew and Ben for their helpful service.
