What a wonderful night out with friends!!! The Oswego Music Series night was excellent and we felt privileged to hear Danielle Lebeau Petersen perform. So talented. Our server was spectacular and the food and drinks delicious. It was our first music night but will not be our last. Thank your Bar500 and the Oswego Team for a wonderful night out.

We do did dine around and we're hoping for the two options from the 55$ menu. Although, the mushroom menu was actually quite delicious. I think our only comment was that the portion of fish was maybe a bit small. Tasted great,we just wanted more!

Was a very disappointing first breakfast of the year. 39.00 a person for a mediocre meal. First, we thought it was a buffet breakfast for the flat fee. If we had know it was only going to be a price fixe 2 course meal, we would have gone elsewhere. 1st course consisted of your choice of yogurt, a small fruit plate or what I thought was a bakery plate, since it advertised a few options. I was not asked a preference and was brought a single scone. 2nd course, my partner order the Chicken and waffles. I ordered the crab cake bennie. When the food came out, I was present with the wrong food. I had to wait 15 more minutes, for my correct item to come out. I was not offered any such another bakery item well I waited nor was any thing offered for the inconvenience. The Benny consisted of broken hollandaise, and water from the eggs, over done potatoes and an under cooked, under seasoned crab cakes. The was no English Muffin or bread presented underneath. Certainly not worth 39.00 a person. Won't be going back.

Love the live music - Edie and Joey are great. Food menu is limited, not much to our taste.
