Oscar Penns Restaurant

"Not my first time here, but had ordered the prime rib both times. Both times were basically the same no flavor , and tough. I get the idea of this place, and wish them all the success possible. But from the servers trying too hard to be attentive seems a little fake. The food is not quite there at least for myself."

"The service and atmosphere were great but the food was not very good at all. The crab cakes were all breadcrumbs and fill, but not one discernible piece of actual crab to be seen, plus they were burnt on both sides. The she-crab soup was all broth and again I was only able to find one intact piece of crabmeat in the whole bowl. For the high prices ( the crab cake appetizer was $19) the food was a total disappointment. Will never return."

"This was the first time for my wife and I , and it was a absolutely incredible. We ordered bacon wrapped figs topped with feta for our app and it was great . I ordered the delmonico steak topped with gorgonzola cheese and my wife ordered the Salmon stuffed with a Dungeness crab cake on a bed of risotto. Both dishes were incredible . We both had a great time and I'll definitely be back ."

"I hope the owner of the restaurant would have a chance to read this. We walked out of this restaurant feeling being ripped off. It is over-priced in terms of food quality, atmosphere and customer service. We ordered two glasses of wine, one appetizer, two entrées and one dessert, totaled $145 before the tip. Let’s look at the atmosphere and wait service first since we are paying big bucks here. With $84 a person cost (after tip), we would find lots of steak restaurants in the area offering much higher return. We were seated outside with garden metal wire table and chair. It’s uncomfortable and buggy. The silverware is old and cheap feel. The waitress is nice and polite, but lack of professional manner (again, if you price your menu against above-average steak house, we expect more from your waiters). Next, is the food. We ordered a seafood risotto, that was delicious, and we accept the price point ($36) for that one. One funny fact though, I was given a fork to eat a soupy risotto dish. I had to ask for a spoon. We also ordered a 14 oz prime steak, $53. That was a huge disappointment! We asked for medium. It came out like medium well on the 1” outskirt, but medium rare in the middle area. It is not tender and very chewy. If the food is super delicious, we would ignore other elements. But if the food is only okay not great, and nothing else has redeeming factor, why am I paying that much money for? Food review can be subjective, but the hardware is not. Please fix these things to enhance customers’ feeling: 1) Invest some nice outdoor seating. Or, at least put a table cloth on it to make it feel “fancy”. 2) Invest in nicer silverware. My advise to people to want to give a try: Do not order high-price item from the menu. Stay low, and the whole experience will match your expectation better."
