500 - Victoria

Did not try the food, just had drinks while waiting for our transporation, but it was ok just to take a beer outside and the terrace was fabolous. Price for a beer was very cheap and they had excellent hazy IPA on tap.

LOVE going to the Bar 500 for jazz nights. Its a cozy atmosphere and not too crowded. The menu is small and the food is delicious. Our only request/recommendation is to add a few monthly dining features to change things up a bit. We would come more often then. All in All, a GREAT venue.

Very good portions, delicious, and the bacon was HUGE and cooked to perfection! Seriously, if you like bacon, then try theirs. The local made bread was a little too crunchy, but she explained that the bread company was concerned the bread was overbaked. I think they should have used different bread because serving it today was mouth painful. I am sure it has been better other days, but today was quite rough. Was overall still worth the brunch. And our waitress was pleasant, fun, perfect and on the hosting ball.

This was our third visit to Bar 500. Previously had two breakfast meetings there. The breakfast menu is not extensive but what they do, they do well. This was a jazz/dinner evening which was great. The jazz really enhanced the dining room ambience. The food is good (hubby had a melt in your mouth lamb shank and I had a delicious mushroom pasta dish) . The servers are really friendly. I felt as though I was a member of the Oswego family as we were so well looked after. We enjoyed the jazz singer too. If you're looking for a cosy and intimate setting, Oswego Bar 500 is perfect.

We visited in the evening for the Dine around town menu. The mushroom chowder was amazing and creamy. We had the sablefish entree which consisted of outstanding different flavours. I hope they consider adding the sablefish dinner to their permanent menu.
