Overall, great food for a nice dinner/special occasion. Our server was nice, and encouraged the cucumber-lime cocktail, which was uniquely cool!

It was Saturday night and busy but luckily we got a table right away. Nice atmosphere and good service. While we were waiting for our meal we were given some baguette slices and butter, lovely. I had the burger and fries and substituted the blue cheese for cheddar. It was as good a burger as I’ve eaten.

I normally am not a very discerning foodie, but I recently went to another fancy restaurant in the same price range as Oswald and thought the food was phenomenal, so I was excited to try this place out. However, Oswald didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The food was fine, but the dishes weren’t very flavorful or well composed. The proportions of protein and sides weren’t right, and they weren’t cooked perfectly either. None of it was bad necessarily, just not what I was expecting for the price range. Also the atmosphere inside was weird. It wasny clear what aesthetic style they were going for with the decorations, and the dining room was very loud. The service was fine though, and the menu is relatively expensive for the price range as well. Overall, it was fine, but it didn’t feel like it was necessarily worth the money

The food is good but can very much be elevated to five star with a bit more effort. The service was lacking a bit. The decorations inside were pretty, especially the glass artwork. I had a Net York steak asked for medium and came well done. The meat quality was excellent.

Recipe for success: Have a cocktail while seated at the bar nearest the kitchen. Watch the plates come out and ask when you see one that looks good. Order a daring appetizer, like sweetbreads, and continue watching the plates coming out. Order your dinner and your next drink, but now watch the desserts. By the time you’re don’t with dinner, you’ll. Have your dessert selected. #winning

A gem of Santa Cruz. Bizarrely google maps has this on the wrong intersection so be aware it’s closer to the water side of the parking deck than the downtown thoroughfare.
