My wife and are new to SC and have been enjoying our dinning experience at many of the local eateries, inclusive of the Ice House, La Rustica, Laura, Page's Ocra Grill, etc.
All of our dining choices have been sourced via recommendations from the local residents of Summerville and Oscar's was at the top of the list of fine restaurants to try.
So it was with great anticipation that we decided to try Oscars late this afternoon.
We were celebrating paying off our new SC home and were looking to party like retired rock stars (not), lol.
Upon arriving, we were whisked to the bar side tables and were told to seat ourselves.
Upon self-seating , we were given one menu and were promised another which took another 10 minutes.
While waiting for the menu, we ordered our drinks, a glass of Moscato ($13) and a Miller Lite ($3).
When the drinks (after a significant wait) were served, the pour of the Moscato was absolutely embarrassing.
Literally it was about an eighth of a glass! When we advised the waitress of the paucity of the pour, she advised that only the bartender does the pouring of the wine and therefore there was nothing she could do about it.
Oh well, the wine was finished in 2 sips, so $13 down the drain and buying a second eight of a glass for $13 was not an option.
For an appetizer we decided to split the shrimp cocktail and it was a huge disappointment.
The shrimp were tiny and unappealing, as was the little glass they were served in. Additionally, the presentation was unappetizing and had almost zero cocktail sauce. Instead, the shrimp were stuffed with a soggy salad into this tiny glass. #NotGood
I guess they thought a tiny glass would make the shrimp look BIGGER, lol.
For the entree, my wife order their seafood stuffed burrito and I ordered their Jamaican Jerk Maui.
The Maui had to be immediately returned as it was a stale, over cooked, minuscule serving of fish. The Maui was less than a quarter inch thick and about 3 inches in length. A total disappointment.
The Burrito was a larger portion, however, it was on the bland side of the ledger.
As a replacement for my initial entree, I ordered the fried chicken breast with two sides.
By the time the entree arrived, my wife had finished eating and our celebratory meal had been ruined.
This was also a huge disappointment as the chicken breast were so tiny that it would be more suited to a children's meal. The sides of mashed potatoes and broccoli were pedestrian at best.
As a result of the above, we asked to chat with the manager.
Tony was a nice gentleman and he bought my wife another drink.
Tony advised that he would address the issues we encountered with the staff to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
So, we left very disillusioned with this establishment and hope that they fix these inadequacies.
