Bistro 197 - Oswego (NY)

4 /5 Anthony: Very nice inside. Needs more air flow a little stuffy is all. The waitress was very helpful and pleasant (Chrissy) Gave some great insight on the dishes. Food Fried Catfish dish was better than I expected from a restaurant in the north. 7.5/10 Fried calamari Think they were trying to do too much. Not a fan of pesto bathed calamari. 5/10 Grilled Meatloaf This was amazing and you must try it. Everything tasted great in the dish and complimented each other well. 9/10 Carmel lava cake Was good reminded me of a thick pancake with homemade whip cream and Carmel as the syrup. 8/10 All of these were great big portions all worth the price.

5 /5 Daisy Krenn: Food looks and smells fresh and great quiet atmosphere. Very pleased with taste and cleanliness. Restrooms are clean and bar is neat. Thank you!

5 /5 Debbie Slobe: We are so grateful to the staff and management of Bistro 197! We hosted my father-in-laws celebration of life memorial luncheon there in August. From day one of planning the event, the manager (Bill) was super responsive and accommodating, especially when our numbers grew from 25 to nearly 45! We ended up taking over the whole restaurant! The food was amazing, portions generous, and the wait staff so kind and helpful!

5 /5 Giovanni Minozzi: If youre looking for good vibes and good food come on a Friday night the pasta and prime rib were fantastic. A long with the live music.

3 /5 Kimberly Glassford: We had reservations for 6:30, waited a long time for a waitress to show up to take our drink orders. Drinks werent ready so we ordered our apps. Drinks finally came and were either not what we ordered or not what they were described as on the menu. Apps came out and soon salads came out. I was given the wrong soup, waitress brought me the soup I ordered and it wasnt even warm. We finally got our meals at 7:50. The food was not good and the service was horrible. I wont go there again.
