"Oso Sonoma is a great spot on Sonoma Plaza with a bunch of options for when the group can’t agree on what’s for lunch. The menu has a little bit of everything, from pork chile verde tacos to harissa-roasted salmon to Thai-style steamed mussels, and while that might seem ambitious, everything works. It’s also a great place for Happy Hour if a day of wine tasting hasn’t yet wiped you out: we like their delicious red sangria." - allison green

"Wednesday through Friday from 4 to 5:30 p.m., the happy hour menu at chef-owner David Bush’s restaurant serves $8 negronis and blood orange margaritas, a half-dozen oysters for $12, and two tacos of the day for $7. Bush designed a dinner menu with the same affordable approach. So, while the rib eye steak clocks in at $63, it serves two, and comes with a side of crispy fingerling potatoes. A plate of crab-stuffed deviled eggs ($15) is made with house-made yellow curry. It makes a complete dinner when paired with a Caesar salad ($13)." - Christina Mueller

Sat at the bar here and had a great time watching the magic of food being made. Atmosphere and vibe is great. Service can be a little slow due to being so busy. Overall food was decent. Our appetizers were great - definitely recommend the burrata and baked oysters. The special of the day was a seafood stew, it was pretty delicious but just way salty. The shrimp tacos on the other hand were missing a hint of something that would complete the taste. My friend said the chicken sandwich was okay. Overall good experience.

Great find with delicious, healthy food delivered hot. Staff is over the top friendly and attentive. Chef David uses only the freshest ingredients. I loved my salmon and dining on the back patio. I highly recommend and will return.

Wowza. Tasty food. Friendly service on the Sonoma Plaza Square. Came here after a day wine tasting. So good. We enjoyed the delicious braised short ribs, and the shrimp with grits. Perfect. Cute bar and restaurant bwith rustic/modern decor. there weren't that many people here at 4:30. But. Not surprised. I'm sure it gets busy later. We look forward to coming here again.

From the minute you walk in the door you feel welcome! One of my faves in Sonoma... great food, small plates you can share (or not 😁), service is always friendly and the atmosphere is great... Friday afternoon on the patio is so relaxing. Check it out!

Osso Sonoma was a surprise to me. It was delicious and I enjoyed making the effort to get there for Happy Hour. On warm evenings, Osso is definitely the place. Service was excellent! And, the small plates for appetizers were yummy! The special on Thursday evening was pad Thai and it was something I would order as an entree, so gratifying as Thai food is wonderfully made. The bread served was like pizza, yes it was that good! I wanted more. And, while I’m not a seafood or shellfish fan, the shrimp tacos were yummy. All this food was paired well with my choice of sangria. Osso does a scrupulously refreshing recipe. Just the right amount of ingredients and flavors to mix with the wine. For my next visit to Osso, I will try the blood orange margarita. Everyone at my table enjoyed their cocktails. This is definitely a place to go out with friends, especially when the warm weather beckons to enjoy the evening to twilight hours out on the town.

My first time in Sonoma and I was hungry. I popped in here for a bite after seeing pictures of their equisite deviled eggs. Huge drink selection, great food, wonderful service, and lovely ambience.

Listen up, you Bay Area burger hounds. I've chased down dry, overpriced patties from Marin to Menlo Park, and let me tell you, disappointment is a well I know well. But then I stumbled onto Oso Sonoma in the heart of Sonoma Plaza. Now, this ain't some white tablecloth, pretentious gastropub. This is where the locals go, the kind of dive with chipped floorboards and a healthy skepticism towards kale. And that's precisely where they get their damn burgers right. They keep it simple: locally-sourced beef, cooked to a juicy, just-pink perfection. No frills, just flavor. The cheese, you can pick your poison – cheddar, fontina, or this truffle jack that'll knock your socks off (assuming you haven't sweated them right off in the Sonoma heat). The bun? Toasted just enough to hold this meaty masterpiece without turning into a soggy mess. But here's the kicker: the secret sauce. This ain't some mass-produced mystery goo. This is a flavor bomb that whispers of tangy pickles, smoky paprika, and something herbal I couldn't quite place. It elevates the whole damn burger to a symphony of savory goodness. Now, service ain't usually what gets me waxing poetic, but the crew at Oso Sonoma deserves a shoutout. They're friendly, efficient, and know exactly when to refill your beer without hovering like a tourist lost in Napa Valley. So, the next time you're craving a burger that's more than just a glorified Happy Meal, head to Oso Sonoma. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best things come in the most unassuming packages. Just don't expect a fancy Instagram backdrop – this is a burger joint for people who appreciate good food, not good filters.

We recently went twice after volleyball tournaments in the area to this downtown Sonoma restaurant, and we had a wonderful time, including the same server who was friendly, attentive and helpful with regard to menu options and drinks. The restaurant is full of dark woods and local decorations, which created a warm ambiance. Terrific set of appetizers included fresh oysters (Fanny Bay and others), deviled curried eggs topped with dungeness crab, and warm rustic bread with creamy herb butter. We enjoyed several core entrees as well as one of their seafood specials. Their Thai-spiced steamed mussels were tender and steeped in a wonderful broth that we sopped up with the crusty bread. The pork chops were incredibly tender and were also Asian-inspired with a peanut sauce atop the chops and served with a tomato-based slaw. The shrimp and grits included large, nicely-cooked shrimp on top of creamy, cheesy grits with green onions and tomatoes. The seared halibut was a properly cooked filet accompanied by sauteed bok choy and tofu. We also tried a couple of their IPAs and cocktails which were excellent. We finished our meals with their butterscotch pot de creme, chocolate fudge sundae, and warm fresh berry granola, along with French press coffee.

My husband and I were looking for sushi but we ended up here instead and ended up with a seafood theme. We ordered deviled eggs and ceviche to start and both were to die for. The deviled eggs had some curry and crab and threw us both for a loop, in a good way. If you like your deviled eggs the conventional way, then skip this dish. The Ceviche de Aguachile verde was refreshing, especially with the white fish, mango, red onion, avocado and citrus juice. The weather was hot that Sunday so the food works especially with a nice cocktail, like the negroni and sazerac. We decided to try a few more items and got the shrimp and cheesy grits and savored each bite. My husband wanted more than I was willing to part with so I had to fight him on it. I can't remember what my husband had because I was too busy protecting my food from him, but whatever it was he ate it all. All in all, this place is great, sitting out back is breezy and has a nice ambiance to it. Staff is overall busy but do their best to check in, refills, napkins etc. Our waitress gave us great recommendations.

Consistency is everything, at least for me it is. House made walnut pesto, on top of the buratta dish with Chefs heirloom tomato. Dungeness crab with house made yellow curry, deviled egg??- so yum Steamed PEI (Prince Edward Mussels)-OMG!! Must try! Enjoy yourself, you deserve it!! Servers: Steven - excellence and courteous-Luna, bartender always cleaning, clearing and professional bartending etiquette- Bravo! Five stars!!

We had a great experience here with my family (including my 1yo son). We can for a late lunch on a Sunday and were easily sat. Our server was super nice and patient, and they were very accommodating in bringing a high chair and making sure our son was comfortable. We got the Dungeness crab topped deviled eggs, green beans, shrimp and grits, bread for the table and my husband got the burger. All the food was delicious! I so appreciated that that server was very accommodating to my MIL's dietary restrictions, and was so thoughtful in putting the hot topping of the green beans on the side without us evening having to ask because he correctly assumed we'd be sharing with my son! All in all a great experience and I'm sure we'll be back when we come through Sonoma in the future.

Came here for the second time Friday and loved it as much as the first time The best thing we had was a tie between the baked oysters which are always delicious, as well as the steak- specifically the chimichurri was AMAZING and the steak was cooked perfectly. The drinks are always good, and the waiter we had was extremely friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back! I love oso because it's an intimate, classy feel but it's also very laid back and casual.

Oso has been one of my top favorite restaurants at the plaza in Sonoma. The portions are sufficient where one can share, like tapas, or get their own plate. For the presentation, taste, and quality of food at Oso, the price is pretty good! We keep coming back because of the service and environment and I don't know why I haven't review this place. There's this one server we love to get because he is knowledgeable about their wine list and he is very good at describing the flavors and what to pair it with. My friends and I decided to try this place for lunch and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Patatas bravas were so good! The seasoning on the potatoes was perfect and mixed with the aioli was chefs kiss. I've tried many caesar salads while I travel and Oso's is literally one of my favorite because it's not too dry and not to over dressed.

Came here for dinner with my family one night while we were visiting Sonoma. Definitely a great spot for dinner! We made a reservation ahead of time and they were able to seat us all as soon as we got there. It was really nice outside, and they have a cute little patio, but we opted to eat inside just because it gets colder at night. They do have some space heaters outdoors, but there weren't any tables available near those. No biggy! The decor in here is interesting... to say the least haha. Very sensual! But I do love the ambiance in here. Very rustic. And the service was excellent. Our server did a fantastic job! Always felt like we got checked in on, too, which was great. The menu isn't too extensive, which I truly appreciated. Sometimes when there are too many options, I get super overwhelmed ahha. I ordered the Sonoma Dreamer, which was with gin, grapefruit and lemon. It was definitely sour, but I loved it! A really good cocktail. To eat, we had to get the deviled eggs, since when I looked this spot up on Yelp, everyone says how good they are. Thank goodness I listened to my fellow Yelpers. They were right! Those deviled eggs were definitely the highlight. I could have eaten like ten more of them. For dinner, I ordered the salmon which came with couscous. It was super delicious! I wish it had a little more couscous, but the salmon was cooked perfectly. Definitely a delicious dish. I would come back here again. Not my fave restaurant we went to that weekend, but it was still pretty tasty and the service was great.

[Update 12 August 2024] The server mentioned in this review reached out to sincerely offer amends for the sub-par service. Compliments to this professional waitperson for making the effort to follow-up. Changing from 3-stars to 4-stars because of this outreach. ---------------------------------------------------- Good food; lousy service. It is with great regret that I post a three-star review for a formerly five-star establishment. The food at Oso is still a standout; the service, however, falls flat. Built on a base of tender, crispy little gem lettuces, the Caesar salad ($15) was mounded with shaved Parmesan and accompanied by crunchy house-made croutons: a great way to begin a meal. Paired with a spicy kimchi, the always delicious Korean-style pork ribs ($23) were fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious -- a dish that makes you want to lick your fingers to remove all the sweet, sticky barbecue sauce. A brilliant red-orange, the Moroccan salmon ($34) exploded with flavor from an array of spices -- a definite winner. The service, however, was not a winner. Rather than placing a cocktail on the table, the harried server simply shoved the tray in front of a diner, indicating that the drink should be retrieved by the patron. Acting as if he had other, more important places to be, the server tossed dishes on the table in a rush, rather than delicately delivering them. Never checking on the satisfaction of the diners during the meal, the only time the waiter was in evidence was when it was time to present the check. Oso is a restaurant that delivers excellent food from an incredibly tiny prep and cooking space. If only the service were on par with the fare.

The restaurant served fresh hardy seafood dishes that we enjoyed after a day of wine tasting in Napa. The dishes were not too heavy but we still stuffed ourselves. If you're looking for chicken it's not on the menu (a friend wanted to change it up from red meat and seafood from the past few days and was hoping for chicken :-) but she enjoyed her salmon dish). Friendly service with a "we're here to please your taste buds and to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. We sat by the front and didn't really walk around to check out the bar or outdoor area.

Yelp
Oso was a delight! We had the lovely Ziva as our waitress outside and she was upbeat and attentive in the evening heat. Every dish was amazing! We ate ourselves absolutely full because every last thing was more and more delicious. The Thai flavor profile of the muscles is unique and the fresh herbs really elevated the dish. You can't go wrong with the steak, more than enough to share. A surprise stand out was the snow peas. All in all a great meal! Was happy we gave it a try!

Yelp
Happy hour oysters were tasty and great price. Deviled eggs were good but if you're not in the mood for curry flavor it can be a bit much. Happy hour steak tacos were great. Sat at bar and watched them cook in the little kitchen, nice atmosphere. Service was good.

We came here on October 2, 2024. So glad we picked this place. We had the deviled eggs with shredded crab, shrimp and grits, roasted berries with pretzel crumbs. The food was great! Each dish had its own flavor bomb. We really enjoyed this food. Service was great! The drinks were great! All around the experience made me want to leave this review before we left the table. We will be back. That is the best compliment I can give.

OSO Sonoma is a wonderful spot! They are known for their tapas, which is always fun. While their menu isn't extensive there is something for everyone.  During my visit, I ordered: - Ceviche, which came with fresh fish, tomato, avocado, red onion, green olives and cilantro. This was so fresh, and the flavors were perfect!  - Caesar salad. One of the best I've had in a long time!  - Burrata with bread, peach and prosciutto. This was so delicious!  They also have a raw bar. They have a large bar located in the middle of the restaurant. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating and a quaint patio. I'd recommend making a reservation on a Friday or Saturday night as this place can get busy! The atmosphere is very relaxing and casual.  They also have happy hour on Wednesdays through Fridays from 4-5:30 p.m. with small plates and drinks.  The menu rotates on a regular basis, and I can't wait to come try more soon!

Came here for lunch on a Friday. We sat at a table right by the window, which was perfect for people watching people walking around the Sonoma square. Service was quick, friendly, and easy going We shared six small plates for three people. We shared the patatas bravas, green goddess salad, mushroom toast, roasted broccolini, hummus plate, and deviled eggs. Everything was great. The green goddess salad was especially good; heavily dressed but I like that. The gummy was great with good flavor. The mushroom toast was good but a little salty. We were able to take some home with us

Amazing!!! Sat on the patio. Group of 6. Shared the deviled eggs. The crab on top was the perfect addition. Had the mussels and the burger. WOW!!!! Nothing left on the plate. Each bite was filled with so much flavor. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed their appetizers outdoors in the good weather in the back. Nice ambience. We had a shrimp taco that was delicious.

Yelp
A fine performance. The back space was a bit rough but I appreciated that they had a back deck. It was intimate so there was some guest interaction. Inside was quite dark. Not sure I'll go again. Food was fine but not mind blowing. The eggplant was quite undercooked so I appreciated that they took it off the tab. I think we liked one of the dishes.

Great experience last night at this local Sonoma gem! Smallish menu with lots of starters to share and also some regular size entrees as well. The food was amazing. The service was great and friendly. We had a reservation for later in the evening but we called and they were happy to accommodate our request to come in earlier. I love sitting at the front window when we go with friends or sitting at the bar and watching the chef. Nice ambiance, kind of dark and moody with cool art on the walls. To start, we ordered the buratta. It was delicious. Served with pesto, Calabrian chilies and bread. We also ordered the raw oysters and a green goddess salad. For our mains - 3 of us ordered the boneless beef short ribs served with carrots and mashed potatoes and the other guest ordered the shrimp and grits. Needless to say we cleaned our plates! For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch pit de creme and a hot fudge sundae. I highly recommend this restaurant. Perfect location right on the Sonoma Plaza.

Yummy food great service in the heart of Sonoma to be best as described as American Tapas. Beautiful patio seating for the summer days when it's not too warm downtown. BB

Other than the devil eggs, the food here was mid. It may look good in pictures but it was nothing spectacular unfortunately. Do not order the muscles they were very sandy. The shrimp tacos & mushroom toast were good but we wanted 50-minutes to get our food. After a long day of drinking wine, the hunger was hurting.

Yelp
What a find in Sonoma Square! The restaurant's vibe is very casual and unassuming. My husband made the reservation so I wasn't sure what to expect as we sat down. The food and drinks were AWESOME! The Ginger Rickey with house made ginger shrub was spectacular. Super refreshing and I want to recreate the recipe for hot summer days. We ordered the hummus which was exceptionally good. The crostinis it's served with were even memorable! The baked oysters Rockafeller, clam chowder, and green goddess salad were all delicious. For an understated atmosphere, the food, drinks, and service really impressed. The wine bar (lounge?) next door is apparently owned by the folks at Oso with plans for expanding the wine lounge experience. I'm excited to see how they develop it, but it was still a lovely by-the-glass experience after lunch. Pop by!

We had a reservation and immediately seated with menus. After sitting there for a good amount of time, the server checked on us but did not take our order. We ended up getting up and walking out. It was fairly loud but a cool spot. Food looked okay but couldn't speak to it. Very limited menu.

The little quaint city of Sonoma has a lot to offer, and OSO Sonoma is one of those gems. During a spa vacation, we came across this cool restaurant. And can I say, this place brought the heat. First, the deviled eggs stole the show; I heard that this appetizer is known to do numbers and bring the crowd. The eggs went down smoothly, with the cream piling high enough to where you have to open your mouth as wide as you can to make the play. Second, the Soy and Syrah Braised short ribs caught my eye with its sizable chunk of meat as the central focal point of the plate. Tender and juicy, the meat just fell apart as soon as the fork made contact. And lastly, the special of the night was a seafood soup with mussels, shrimp, vegetables, and other seafood ingredients. The ingredients did not taste stale or frozen, so we ate it all and cleaned the bowl before the dishwasher got to it. OSO Sonoma treated us well.

Oh my god, Yum! This place looks a little dark and unassuming but do not sleep on it! Skip Sunflower and come directly here! The best Sangria I've ever had! The best bread and butter ever! Even the water was suspiciously good! The fish tacos were bomb. The service was friendly and impeccable

I cannot wait to eat at Oso again! From the moment my husband and I were greeted to all the goodbyes on our way out the door, this place is great! Visited on a Monday night and sat at the bar. This place is a well oiled machine! The kitchen is tiny, they're seriously working with 1 countertop oven, and 3 induction burners, and watching everything being prepared is like watching a well orchestrated dance. Everything is timed, measured, fired, and ready to go without looking rushed or crazy! The menu is concise, it has to be because of that kitchen. We tried -the deviled eggs with crab - omg, so well seasoned and served on some well dressed arugula -oysters Rockefeller - I mean, baked oysters with cheese, what's not to love!? -roasted broccolini - this was really a standout for me because I didn't read the menu closely and it was Thai style, so it had a really wonderful peanut sauce, and the veg was perfectly cooked. -ricotta meatballs - (husband's main dish) so cheesy, well seasoned and delicious -steamed PEI mussels - (my main) Holy crap, sooooo many mussels. I had like 30+ mussels and they were wonderful The broth was so good that I took what was left home so I could use it as a base for a curry. - roasted berries w/ pretzel crunch and vanilla ice cream - this is the right way to end a meal, salty AND sweet, I'm almost sorry I didn't order my own! -ginger lime Ricky - sweet, and refreshing -sazerac- standard and delish I didn't get a chance to try the pasta of the day, but it was pad Thai, and it looked great. Honestly everything looked great - I know because I was in awe of the kitchen staff the entire time I was there. The place is cozy, and has a small back patio. We went for an early dinner, 5pm, and didn't have any trouble getting a seat. Every person working at Oso made us feel welcome, and they all said goodbye on our way out the door. I want to be best friends with everyone there, they obviously like working there, and it shows.

We get there, and we are not greeted. Host looked depressed and angry to be there. Only asked how many and took to table right away. We got sat in the only table that had no silverware and was still dirty, had to clean it as we were being sat. Restaurant was dead and other 2 tops were opened. Didn't take our drink order only brought us water. Came to take our food order but not really after that. We ordered patatas bravas which were mid. A burger that was amazing to be completely honest with you, and a hummus plate which was more grains than anything. Not once did they check on us until they brought the check.

Oh So Good! Best burger, simple, thick patty, grilled perfectly, Brioche bun, yummy sauce, melted cheese, enough lettuce and tomato to qualify as borderline healthy. Enough said.

We were very excited to try OSO, the reviews on Yelp looked like the food was good & the space was cozy. When we arrived at 7:15 for a 7:30 reservation there were 5 tables fully open so we asked if we could grab a drink at the bar before being seated - sure. The bartender was lovely, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming- the drinks she made were outstanding. She was the one high point of the evening. We were almost immediately asked if we wanted to move to our table, we said we'd like to enjoy our drinks first - was that okay? Sure. But then strangely we were asked two more times so we quickly finished our drinks and moved to one of the many open tables. Our server arrived promptly- told us the specials and asked if we'd like to place our orders. My husband gave him our wine orders and we ordered bread, but asked if we could wait to put in our food order (at 7:40). He said well I wouldn't wait too long the kitchen closes in 10 minutes. What???? So we made fast decisions to get our orders in - the food came out fast and was good but the whole experience was beyond rushed. Literally our food was out, we were done eating and bill brought and we were out the door by 8:30! I've had meals at Chilis that I've lingered over longer. We felt super rushed and like we were holding up the staff by actually ordering and eating our $90 meal at 7:40PM on a Saturday night. NOT good. Our one legit request and complaint about the food - there is zero on the mains menu that is not fish/seafood, only a $58 steak for two. Not an option for protein add on salad, not a steak or chicken for one - nothing. So we opted for just small plates of oysters (my husband not me), patatas bravas and Brussels- plus the bread & butter. No protein for me. We asked the waiter if any accommodations could be made - he didn't even go ask the kitchen, just a straight no. So if you are allergic, intolerant or don't enjoy food that swims you're out of luck and are stuck with sides or ordering a steak for two. To add insult to injury the waiter then joked when he took our credit card that we should come back for lunch because the chicken sandwich was AMAZING! My best advice is book early bc apparently the staff wants the lights out before 9PM or go for lunch I hear the chicken sandwich is great‍ The bartender was amazing and her drinks are the only reason I'm giving 2 stars, service beyond her was the worst we've had in ages.

This place is a hidden gem and needs to be recognized. While looking for a place to eat lunch, we walked and walked in downtown Sonoma feeling overwhelmed with what to eat. My husband being a beer enthusiast, decided to try this place. And man oh man!!!!! We absolutely loved the steamed mussels in coconut lime. When I tell you this is the best steamed mussels we've had, it's the BEST! We went here in Feb 2022 and I know their menus change but the sauce just blew our minds away. My husband was straight sipping on the sauce like soup it was so good! I have to thank our waiter for recommending it to us because it was definitely THE best meal we had while visiting the wine country. Great friendly service. Great ambiance as they have both an outside backyard and indoor sitting. Small but cozy and comfy inside as well. Oh their beer was good too!

Went to lunch here on a Saturday with my family (inclusive of a little kid who is a picky eater), and we really enjoyed the deviled eggs, burger, and mussels. We also ordered the fingerling potatoes and the shrimp tacos but they were not as good. Drake's Pale Ale was great too and paired nicely with the meal.

Kristy L.

Came to Oso Sonoma on one of Sonoma's hottest weekends, and seated outdoors. Thankfully, we came nearing sunset so it was only warm for the first hour before the nice, cool breaze came. However, keep in mind that this street is very busy and many loud vehicles will pass by and disrupt your meal. Not much to do about that, so try and get a seat indoors if possible! Despite all that, the service and the food was amazing. We were quickly greeted with ice cold water, refilled almost a second after we finished them! Now for the food, we ordered a few drinks (blood orange marg and a beer) to start with. Blood orange marg was delicious and had the right amount of sweetness and tartness. I did not try the beer, but it looked like normal beer. We started with the deviled eggs which were decent, I enjoyed the creaminess of the yolk mixture and the shrimp added a nice flavor to it. Out came the burrata with pesto and prosciutto -- it was so interesting to see peaches on the plate. But that was one of the most delicious cheese dishes we had ever tried. The peaches completely worked with the cheese, giving it the sweetness we didn't realize cheese required. The pesto was very light and added little flavor to the dish. Wrap together the burrata and peach into the prosciutto and you have a perfect bite. The muscles and baked oysters came out next, the muscles are cooked in a creamy curry base. The curry flavor was not overpowering, but added a light kick to the muscles which made them addictive. Soak up the sauce with the bread and you have yourself a whole meal! We couldn't stop eating this even though we had other appetizers on the side as well. Baked oyster were subpar, imagine a lion king roll but condensed onto a oyster shell. I forgot to take photos but we also ordered the korean ribs, they were nothing to rave about but the meat was tender! It was not one of my favorites. Shrimp and grits was a lot more soupy than we expected, and very sweet. Could do with more cajun seasonings and maybe smoked shrimp but overall not bad! One is a good enough size to split with 2-3 people, or is a meal itself for 1 person. Would recommend coming to Oslo Sonoma with friends or family, makes for a good date location as well!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It was a quiet night before a play.

Did someone say deviled eggs? Sold lol. Was in town and decided to have lunch at Oso. Smart decision. Everything we ordered was awesome. Deviled eggs were definitely my fave. Oysters Rockefeller were tasty but would've have been more enjoyable with a larger oyster I think. Burger was nice and juicy and super generous on the melted cheese. The roasted potatoes didn't have me looking for fries as they had a nice crisp texture. Did I mention micheladas? Service was great. Our server was super attentive and friendly. And the outdoor seating was great on a sunny day like today.

First time visiting Oso. We did not have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us outside. Waiter was nice & friendly & gave us the added food to the menu. I ordered a blood orange margarita it was very good. For dinner we got a seared NY steak for 2. It was cooked just like we wanted & the potatoes that came with it were delicious! The chimichurri on it also gave it another good flavor to the steak that already was very flavorful. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food we got. We had left overs from the steak and potatoes. Would definitely go back to try some other dishes.

My Moroccan dish was amazing! We just thought it was a bit unnecessary to be charged for the extra sauce for the ribs. It's not the money, it's the principle that felt not hospitable:( the food was very tasty tho!
