Oscars, Pyrmont
We used to frequent Oscars so often last year that we had to call for a stop to holding our birthday dinners there.
The 2 biggest draws to the bar restaurant for us were: the ribs and the cocktails. The meat’s also wonderfully drenched in hickory sauce and the wide-range of cocktails are usually very well prepared and presented.
Vegetarian Nachos with Sour Cream, Guacamole, Spicy Jalapenos and Cool Salsa
Salt and Pepper Squid Salad – Tender Squid Battered in a Salt and Pepper Coating with Mixed Leaves Tomato and Salad Onion with a Zingy Chilli and Lime Dressing
Oscar’s Chargrilled Pork Ribs with Tangy Hickory Sauce, Mixed Salad & Mash Potatoes
Chicken and Mushroom Linguine
Barramundi Fillet – Glass Noodle Salad of Fresh Coriander, Mint, Cucumber, Shallots and a Tangy Chilli & Garlic Soy Dressing
Umm…Steak cuts with roasted chat potatoes (?)
Oscars can get quite busy on Fridays and Saturdays, where the wait on your meal can be up to 45 minutes. The food is usually quite decent, but the ribs are still the best thing on the menu (even if they’ve really raised the price up since we first started eating here).
It’s matter of luck in getting a good rack of ribs though, where the meat on the ribs would just fall away from the bone (that usually happens more often than not). I’ve had ribs where the meat would stubbornly stick to the bone, but it’s quickly forgiven as the meat’s still deliciously tangy.

More often than not my Oscars ribs turn out to be fibrous and tough – I literally have to use a knife to scrape the meat off the bone. With Hurricanes just around the corner now, Oscars’ ribs have been officially barred!
Oh and I’d stay away from Le Notre high tea if I were you – it’s completely hopeless.
btw shui (not “sue”) wants you to get her name right! hehehe
Ah =T I think I’ve only had the fibrous ribs once out of all the times I’ve been there.
>_< I’m sorry Shui! I’ll fix it up!
Yum, and what great photos! The sharpness is amazing
We’ve found Oscar’s a little hit and miss with their dishes, depending on who’s cooking in the kitchen it seems!
Hehe, it’s also the same for the cocktails =) But we still seem to keep going back there.
