Oswego Grill at Columbia Shores - Vancouver (WA)

4 /5 Diana Bessire: I really enjoyed the prawn fettuccine. My husband had fish tacos, which were good, however rice pilaf for his side was strange and not flavorful at all. Our friends had the prime rib French dip which was legit and looked great. The fish in the fish and chips were tiny. The remodel was nice though. We liked the atmosphere. Service was slow but our company was great.

2 /5 Jade Marie: We were not impressed with the service or food. The restaurant itself is very crowded and hard to move through. I got bumped into multiple times walking to and from my table. The service was incredibly slow and we waited 20 minutes before they came back to take our food order. The restaurant was loud, which made it hard to hear each talking without raising our voices. We almost got up and left but we wanted to give it a try as we were huge fans of Beaches the establishment that Oswego Grill replaced. As for the food not a lot of flavor. The Alaskan halibut was good but the portion was small. You pay $38 for a small piece of halibut with a few asparagus that were not cooked enough. I was surprised they didn’t offer a side with this plate, like wild rice or quinoa. We love blanched vegetables but as mentioned the asparagus was really hard. The best part of the meal was the drink and dessert. The pineapple colada was fantastic! The peanut butter cheesecake was good, a little too rich/sweet for my liking but it was not bad. All in all I couldn’t recommend or return as the service and food just weren’t great.

5 /5 Luke Boyer: We were excited to try Oswego Grill because went used to frequent Beaches. I like the remodel and layout. Very nice setting and efficiency from an operations standpoint. Staff were very friendly and helpful on a busy Thursday night. 2/4 meals were great; the steak was perfect, the stuffed salmon was delicious. The fish tacos and fish and chips were subpar. Beer selections is great. The menu has a wide variety of options and I can’t wait to go back to try more.

5 /5 Alex: Incredible first visit to the new Oswego Grill. Lindsay, our server, was truly personable and very knowledgeable about both the menu and cocktail list. She made thoughtful recommendations and never made us feel rushed while we decided. The manager, Ben, was just as welcoming and was actively making his rounds on the floor and even chatting with us about the restaurant’s history and standout dishes. When he learned we were celebrating a work anniversary, he surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. For a new restaurant on the waterfront, they’re already off to a strong start. Definitely worth a visit, highly recommend!

5 /5 Steve Weis: Celebrated 3 birthdays with close friends. It was our first time eating at this restaurant. Great atmosphere with a beautiful setting on the Columbia River. Salads, appetizers and entrees were all excellent! We will definitely go back.
