A very new store with very new but friendly staffs. We ordered set menu for Working Day Lunch. Fairly okay cost as lunch set. Taste wise, okay-ish, not amazing. Fried foods are good. Gyoza is definitely cooked from packaged frozen one. Sashimi is good, rice in sushi is far way too hard - not right. Set menu in OpenTable is not right but still okay choices. No kids menu.

We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.

Great all round first time experience at L'Oscar. Lovely setting and quality feel to the hotel public areas. Chicken Caesar salad was the best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few! Difficult to find any faults - The only negative was the price of after dinner coffees. (Unnecessarily expensive).
