The Oar

Absolutely fantastic. Home food made delicious. In my view any restaurant starts with the wine they offer. Although just a simple list with a handful of items, they are all 10 out of 10. Then the menu. Lots of choices in the menu. Food was delicious, attention from staff was delightful. It's definitely a place to come back too.

We went to the Oar in March with our kids. The tables were spaced out and the restaurant had a great ambiance. We ordered chicken fingers for the kids and they were very happy. We ordered sweet potato and carrot soup, garden salad, the fried chicken meal with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and the beef chuck meal with mashed potatoes and vegetables, ice cream and cheesecake. The food was excellent- we really enjoyed it! Would definitely go back!

Visited last night (June 16, 2022) for dinner, with my fiancé. We ordered the Spinach Artichoke appetizer served with char-grilled naan points and what appeared to be “house-made” tortilla chips. The portion size was very respectable and the freshness and quality were exactly as expected, although we felt the quantity of chips (not the dip) could have been slightly increased. We ordered 2 Blueberry Mojotos, which were garnished with fresh mint and a tasty lime slice. Both were delicious. We both ordered the Gnocchi with Butternut Squash and Bacon, Parmesan cream sauce garnished in fresh herbs which was absolutely out of this world. The SIZE of the portion of our Gnocchi left ME somewhat wanting, but the quality was exquisite. My fiancé thought her portion was just right. We declined to have dessert as they only had one slice of the carrot cake remaining. No fault of their own, probably just sold out, as the place was relatively well attended for an early Thursday evening (around 5PM). They had “live—music”, a man playing guitar and singing who was a little loud (presumably over amplified) but was very talented as guitarists go. Our hostess was pleasant and promptly seated us at a comfortable enough table, but our server was either new to serving, or didn’t really want to be there last night, as she made everything seem it was an inconvenience, when we could find her. Given the QUALITY of the food (very high), more than the portion sizes (slightly below average), the price point is what we expected, but could deter some people, especially during these hard financial times for most. We would VERY LIKELY go again, because they nailed almost everything that is actually important in running a good restaurant. UPDATE: (June 23, 2022). Had a repeat visit tonight with my fiancé. The food was again, FANTASTIC, having the Spring Wrap, Haddock Fish and Chips and another Spinach Artichoke Appetizer. We also tried the Double Chocolate house-made brownie for dessert. Our (not the same as our previous visit) server (Christina) was leaps and bounds better than our initial visit. She was absolutely “on point”. This place is a MUST-TRY!
