“Aside from difficulty queing up due to a dining table being in the way, this place is always amazing. Heavy food, so be prepared, I have yet to have something I didn't like. The Maverick - a vegan western bacon cheeseburger, is my go to sandwich. All of their fries are amazing - especially the "special" fries which are topped with onions, cheez, and a thousand island - ish sauce. They also have Oogave soda (try the watermelon! in fact, try an oogave watermelon float with coconut ice cream). I make it a point to go here whenever I'm in the area. Again, though, be prepared to be full for quite some time after.“

“A group of four, we went in for happy hour about 4 PM on a Thursday. Happy hour is in the bar area only - there are plenty of tables but they do fill up quickly. Options for HH are fairly lb cheeseburger & fries was tasty but on the small side but appropriately priced. Fried Brussels sprouts were well seasoned, however I found them a bit underdone so bitter, and a tad greasy. Steak bites seemed to be the most popular item and were extremely tasty, and for me, with the accompanying greens, a meal. Beer cheese soup was somewhat bland. Burger sliders were good.Ambience at Oswego Grill is just wonderful. Crowded in the bar area, but comfortable. The dining table area is quiet and a great place for a romantic meal! Prices are reasonable, service is exceptional and food is reliably good.“

“We recently dined for our Wedding Anniversary. I tasked my husband with selecting a spot we'd never been with great food and a casual atmosphere. While he would've happily taken me to an upscale establishment, we simply wanted to celebrate in a laid back way. He made reservations to sit in the bar and they were very accommodating. We ended up at the bar, which we prefer. The atmosphere is very unique with a lot of beautiful wood. The structure is what I think is an old house and includes quaint outdoor seating. Had the temp not been in the 90s, we would've definitely sat outside. The Bartender was friendly and helpful with menu selections. I enjoyed a martini and my husband chose wine. We began with crabcakes which were flawless! The Caesar salad was wonderful as well. It included more of the leafy part of the romaine where I prefer the hearts but small thing really. Our shared entree was Alaskan halibut which was prepared simply and beautifully. We were treated by the house to a small lava cake, topped with high quality vanilla ice cream and fresh berries and it was delightful! All in all, we would definitely return to Baird's on B. We could tell that many customers were regular locals and I can see why. What a cute place to be able to walk to. On a sidenote: a group of young ladies, under legal drinking age were seated at a table nearby and they ordered various mocktails. We watched the preparation and these drinks were works of art - including fresh muddled fruit. With a growing trend of adults choosing to forego alcohol, nice option!“

“This was my first time seeing a film at the Lake Theater, although I have been previously to see live music. I adore the cozy modern vibe of the space, the comfortable seating, and the little touches of humor throughout the decor.Unfortunately the food does not live up to the clever and appealing ingredient lists on the menu (or the pricing). The burger and salads we ordered were surprisingly bland, although the parmesan oregano fries were more flavorful.The thing that really puzzled me was the food system during the movie. Orders are signaled as ready by a puck with bright flashing blue lights. In the first 20 minutes of the movie, there are a lot of orders that become ready and are super distracting. Compounding this, there is a walkway and exit in the upper section that many people use to pick up food and return to their seats. This is close enough to the ceiling that anyone using it blocks the projectors path to the screen and hides part of the movie from the entire theater (including subtitles).I’m leaving a five star review here since I like what the place is aiming for, but the owners could certainly improve the experience greatly with a few tweaks.“

“The food is always spot on and this is definitely a restaurant to frequent! The BLT with a slab of fried Monterey Jack is to die for. I am not a fan of forced gratuity in the form of a "service charge". The servers tend to congregate around the bar and chit chat rather than checking on tables. I sat in the lounge and waited over 10 minutes having to flag my server down mid-conversation with the bartender for a water refill. This makes the "service charge" a harder pill to swallow.“

“Had a B-day party here in April (long over due review). Angela was amazing at communicating and helping with the arrangements. They were a little short staffed but she did a great job keeping up with our food and drink orders. Music was fun to dance to-Hit Machine. Dance floor was a little tight and parking is not easy. But I will definitely be back.“

“Good food, nice atmosphere, excellent service.Definitely on the expensive side, easy to spend $100-150/person for one or two glasses of wine and dinner.My biggest complaint, as other reviewers have noted, is the lack of transparency on prices of wine by the glass. Recommendations are given without mentioning the cost, so you have to ask for a price after each recommendation, and you have to rely on recommendations, since there's not a printed list to refer to.Nice, but once was enough for me.“

“Ok...so 5 stars overall, but no 5 stars on subcategories. I know it's confusing. Allow me to explain.Food: it's not Ruth's Chris or El Gaucho. It's good and greasy bar food with a really limited selection. The happy hour wings, quesadilla, and Carne nachos are really good. All this is worth 3 stars but contributes to an overall 5 stars because it works well for this place and is the right business decision.Service: it's busy and the staff has difficulty keeping up. They're sweating to keep you happy. There could be an additional person on staff on football nights...for sure.Atmosphere: it's crazy loud on football nights. Such a great energy. People come in jerseys, poke the opposing team's fans, but always respectfully. If you can't handle the 'heat', there are tables outside year round, under a covered overhang. The owner is around on many days. Regulars are a plenty and will invade your space and make you engage. Layout and tables make it conducive to a fun evening for you! There's a small VLT space and I think that's a detriment, but maybe it was the best use of that odd space?All of those things in combination make this a 5-star place. I look forward to going back each time...but you gotta be expecting the vibe described or else this place can be a fast turn-off.“

Jocelyn is always our favorite but everyone is wonderful. And because of their awesome Instagram posts, we knew they’d be open (even during the snowstorm - when everywhere else was closed).
