    Food, service, selections, and ambiance were all wonderful. Definitely enjoyed our server Emmalynn. (totally guessed that spelling) However, the ladies room was not up to par! We have dined at Oscar’s several times and it was always unpleasant to use the restroom near the bar. Bad smell, no paper to dry hands, trash on floor. However, we will always come back to eat at Oscar’s!
