Even though we were 5 mins late, the host gave brilliant customer service from the start. The restaurant was super busy, which is good but the food was delayed so it took some time to be served. The food was worth the wait, it was lovely, quality ingredients, nicely seasoned, good portions at great value, my seasbass was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was energetic with good music, party vibes. We had a great time at OSR and I will be returning. Highly recommended. Thanks to Janice who looked after us and made sure we had a good experience at OSR

We were a party of 20+ for a christmas lunch. The service was friendly, flexible and fast. Everyone enjoyed the food and ambiance. Between us we tried everything on the menu and there wasn't one complaint. Shout out to Nathaniel and the two young female waitresses who all made it seamless. Great venue that I would highly recommend, we will be back. They do veggie food as flavour packed as the meat dishes too.
