Oscar’s Place

Best bangers and mash I’ve had since we moved from London. Fantastic. And the owner was very welcoming.

Delicious food in a comfortable, welcoming, unpretentious setting. So happy this place exists!

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong.

First of all a heads up, this place is small, so don’t arrive expecting a whole load of room. That being said this is an outstanding British spot for breakfast. Being English I miss a good full English breakfast and this place nails it! An excellent fry up with a mug of PG Tips. Life is really really good. Sausages are like proper English sausages, and they have proper bacon, not the American streaky stuff that they seem to love over here. Mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoe and 2 fried eggs with toast. Good bread! Thick and white and not the sweet American stuff we seem to always have! Seriously this was delicious! The owner (I think) a British guy is probably one of the friendliest of men, he was lovely! If you are English, if you are feeling homesick, hungover, in need of TLC come here!

Super endroit pour bruncher. Le gérant était très ouvert et sympathique. Les portions sont généreuses. La décoration est très simple et la salle très petite ce qui fait que les tables sont un peu serrées, mais ce n’est pas très gênant. Pour moi ce fut un moment très agréable avec ma fiancé. Je conseil.

I came for fish and chips and that’s what I got. $ 19 for one of the greatest fish and chips I’ve had in a long time.
Neil the owner was very welcoming and inventing to his place, Oscar’s which is named after his NY born son. His British accent fit the bill with the awesome dining experience. It’s a small cozy place where it seems he has a bunch of regulars come in to enjoy the British cuisine. The menu was filled with other entrées that looked very appetizing. There was a chicken pot pie that sounded delicious as well as the bangers and mash. I will be coming back to try some more. It will be hard not to order the fish and chips though. Since I know how great they were I will have to bring someone to try the fish and chips so I could order something else and pick off their plate. Lol they also serve breakfast.
British food done right by a British chap. Cheers!!!
**Don’t forget to check in for your complimentary tea Ask for some lemons.

Delicious. Roast chicken with fries and salad cooked impeccably. At coffee shop prices. Sweet charmer of a place. Food, service and setting. Made my night.

Phenomenal find for us thanks to Unilocal!My spouse was dying for an Irish /​English breakfast and this hit the mark for us both! Great cozy atmosphere you expect in NYC and great music to really set the mood. Started our Saturday milling around the city out perfectly.

Breakfast place that has La Colombe coffee AND Amy’s Bread? Sold. First one in on a Friday morning, had a Unilocal check in for a free coffee (free refills to boot!). Straight forward menu with your standard breakfast options.
Got the Arundel Omelet ($ 13.75) and Amy’s Bread w/​Marmalade ($ 5). Bread came out first, and served with rich marmalade and some butter that was impossible to spread on the bread. Amy’s bread delivers as its hearty yet soft, with the marmalade complimenting it perfectly. Omelet came next — big portion of egg with bacon, spinach, and mushrooms. Bacon was crispy, and the mushrooms tender, though the eggs were only okay. Probably could have used some more seasoning (salt, sauce, etc). The mashed potatoes that came with it were pretty good, while the salad was a few leaves and a tomato or two.
A complete breakfast overall. Though I think next time I’ll stick with the coffee and bread.

I would have LOVED to give Oscar’s 5 stars but I can’t.
It was a slow Thursday late lunch. We were one of 3 tables there.
We had a good meal. Some nice conversation with the owner.
Paid our bill and left…
Our bill was $ 137 with the tip. ($ 114 + $ 22 & change tip)
On Sunday we get a courtesy call from our credit card company asking if we meant to leave a $ 137 tip on a $ 137 bill.
Wait — what?
Of course not! — obviously an error on the part of Oscar’s right?
So with the credit card company we call Oscar’s. Explain the situation to the owner — and he asks for proof. He wants a copy of our receipt. (which we no longer have)
Wait — what?
I’ve been a bartender, restaurant manager & waitress —
If I were a server and I received $ 159 tip on a $ 114 bill, not only would I be grinning from ear to ear and doing a happy dance all over, but the entire restaurant would know about it INCLUDING my boss who would have recognized the hefty payout at the end of the shift.
He doesn’t remember it?
He basically tells us to go F ourselves and do a chargeback — tying up our $ 274 for the next few weeks.
Obviously someone needs that extra $ 137 in their account for a few weeks.
Really not very cool.

I sat on the patio and was greeted by the server, a kind British gent who happily explained the Unilocal check-​in deal. Get a free cup of coffee or tea with your check-​in. I requested coffee and it was GOOD: strong and dark.
I had the smoked salmon omelette, which was cooked perfectly. I’m not the biggest fan of salad for breakfast, but that’s just me. The mashed potatoes were leek and delicious, but I prefer potatoes I can put ketchup on in the mornings. Again, just a personal preference and I appreciate the authenticity of Oscar’s.
The service was friendly and fast. The food was delicious. I would definitely return.

Oscar’s place is a lovely little spot in the West Village. Any place that has Boddington’s Ale is A-​OK in this wannabe Anglophile’s book. The service was warm, and I appreciated that they did not try to rush me along.
While the food is good, I would not cross borough lines to eat the food. The fries were perfect; I would happily eat here again if I was in the area.
Make sure to check in for a free coffee or tea!

Came here with a friend for a low key al fresco Sat night dinner around 7pm. We were sitting for a while and no one rushed us, which was nice but also felt service was slow. They were understaffed so I guess I get it.
We shared the mussels sav blanc side with «chips» or fries. The fries are good– thickly cut, well seasoned. The mussels were eh. most of them were too tiny and barely sopped up the sauce. We also shared the fish and chips– this was excellent. Awesome «chips“still the fish was the star– very delicately battered and fried with flavor yet still light.
They brought out a side of restaurant slice bread with butter, which was ok but awkward after the meal.
I’d come back — they have interesting things on the menu like Bangers and Mash and other good Brit items.

This place is amazing!!! It has such a selection of amazing dishes and the food is superb. I had an omelette with tomatoes and smoked salmon. Potatoes and salad came with it. Everything tasted super fresh and tasty.
Everyone that works there is super friendly and attentive, but not bothering you. We had the pleasure to be served by a super nice man who turned out to be the owner of the place. They have a great wine selection too. I want to highly recommend this and I will definitely go there again.

I have never been to England indulging in the best of its authentic cuisine, nor am I a hip artistic Brooklinite living in Dumbo or Park slope, so take my ordinary person review with a grain of salt.
I thought this place was charming, welcoming and had a very warm positive energy about it. The host /​waiter was kind and made up feel welcome. The food was healthy and delicious — the omelettes were very tasty.
Wouldn’t make a trek specifically for it, but overall if you are in the hood, highly recommend !

Perfect way to start my holiday weekend!
A relaxed & charming place to eat and not feel under pressure!
Enjoyed the granola w fresh fruit!
I’m not a big coffee drinker but I sure did enjoy 2 cups this morning!
Happy Stomach
Happy Me!

Okay, so I just returned from a trip to England and was definitely in the mood for some authentic English food. Due to the recently closing of the Chip Shop on 5^th ave in Park Slope, I found myself looking for a new place to eat. The ratings for this eatery while few sounded favorable hence I convinced my husband to make the trip into Manhattan.
The place was quaint and was packed. We were pleased to be seated immediately. We did note that none of the staff sounded British which should have been a warning right there. We ordered the Classic English Breakfast and were gravely disappointed. The baked beans were flavorless, tomato had no seasoning and the eggs which we ordered over hard were burnt but still soft.
I asked for the traditional marmalade which usually accompanies toast but to my dismay I was given strawberry jelly/​jam.
Sigh, I will not be returning. There was nothing authentic about the food. For the record classic English breakfast is the easiest thing to make I hesitate to try other dishes.

I’m a bit ambivalent to write a review for Orcar’s Place because they only have 20 seatings and I would like to keep this gem to myself!
I have been here for five times before I decided to share this with you, Unilocalers!
I can’t really remember what I had in the past, but among the best are their dreamy mac n cheese, some bread topped with mushroom, lobster omelet, and BANANA BREAD PUDDING.
I can’t even explain how great their banana bread pudding. It gives me hard time from time to time to either have their bread topped with mushroom or the banana bread pudding.
Service has always been great! Fast and attentive.

Food: I ordered the Croque Tuna Melt which came with salad and fries. Meal was good, not greasy, and portion was generous.
Service: Friendly, but not very attentive. You have to constantly track down the servers for anything you need, i.e. refills, ketchup, etc. And, they overcharged our ticket twice. After pointing it out to the server, we were overcharged again the second time by $ 5 more than the first overage. Again, it took forever to track him down to fix this.
Atmosphere: Very crowded with less than 10 tables in the entire place. Lively and warm atmosphere. About a 20 minute wait for a table [around 1:30 for Sunday brunch].
Overall experience here: Food was good and worth the visit, but definitely only a one time visit.

It’s a quaint little joint in the West Village. Deciding between brunch places in the city has become an almost impossible task. My brunch date was pretty picky and because of the great marks, we chose Oscar’s.
The restaurant has about 5 – 6 tables; none had a capacity more than 4. Since the space is so tight and has irregular corners, they probably wouldn’t be able to shift tables around for larger parties.
I checked into Unilocal and got a free coffee. I ordered the Big Ben (edict). In hindsight, I should have opted for the Classic English breakfast. It seems much heartier, and more my style. The Big Ben is two poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce, smoked salmon, spinach, and tomato served with garden salad and a mash of the day.
What I liked were the perfectly poached eggs. There was practically no smoked salmon; maybe two small pieces– definitely not enough by any standard. The garden salad was OK, but that tomato was ridiculously pale and sour. My belief is that if it’s not right, don’t plate it. Doing it for the sake of fulfilling a menu description is an injustice to the dish. Most importantly, I found the Hollandaise sauce to be too sour. Instead of accenting the sauce, the lemon juice dominated my palette.
Oscar’s is a nice place for a more quiet setting, and would have been properly priced if it had been rightly portioned. However, based on the fact that the Eggs Benedict fared average, I wouldn’t be enticed to return.

Came here on last Saturday after walking past the week before an eyeing up some ones full English .
The place is small, actually make that tiny, but if you sit outside its a good place to people watch .
Now to the food, all 4 of us ordered the full English so I cant tell you how the other food is .
The sausages are good, not great and you can get far better in the city, the bacon was lame if you are going to do a full English its all about the bacon. It should be thick back bacon not skinny streaky American stuff. Toast on the side was pretty good .
All in all its not bad but not the best.
As for he service, well if you don’t mind chasing the staff inside for condiments, HP sauce and butter and having the waffles forgotten then its ok .
Wanted to love it unfortunately just an ok !
