Description: Oscars Bar and Grill is a vibrant restaurant on the High Street in Cowbridge, Wales, popular with a young and lively crowd. With a buzzy caf��-style atmosphere, big picture windows and bright red accents, Oscars is a chic and friendly place perfect for morning cake-and-coffee breaks, lunch or dinner with friends and after-work cocktails with colleagues. The menu is international, and we love the flash fried squid served with an orange salad and salsa verde; the Welsh rib-eye steak grilled with garlic and parsley butter; and the home made veggie burger with chips and a garden salad. Oscars Bar and Grill also has a kids' menu as well as an excellent wine list.

This was my favourite restaurant for lunch with the girls but I can't believe the menu has changed. It's still pleasant but my old favourite the duck wrap has changed to the flat bread which isn't nearly as nice and quite a lot of my favourites have gone. We ordered garlic bread to start which was nice but the flat... More

I have eaten lunch here with colleagues twice recently. On both occasions, the welcome and service was warm and prompt. The menu is very appetising. The buttermilk chicken burger was lovely and I've also tried the Oscar's club sandwich- sensationally good! My colleagues had the flat breads which were also very tasty. The price reflects the high quality of the... More

I've been to Oscars a few times, the last being just before Xmas 2010 with friends. the staff clearly couldn't be bothered with customers arriving late in teh afternoon and teh cocktails were dreadful - we headed to Bar 44 to make amends.

Visited Oscars in Cowbridge recently during a very wet day with daughter and granddaughter (in a buggy). The staff were very helpful and welcoming. They held the door for us and very quickly arranged for a chair for the baby. We were not rushed and anything that we needed was soon obtained. The menu is quite exciting and we were... More

First of all, the food was fantastic and came out in unbelievable time. The menu has wine suggestions and these were 100% spot on. The waitresses were very friendly and very good when they were there, but we waited a long, long time after being seated before being given a menu and watched them clear every table in the room...

The staff are very good and are very welcoming. The food is consistently good but I believe they could do better and really steal the crown on any other Vale eaterie. I like to eat here at least once a month and always plenty of choice on the menu. An excellent lunchtime rendezvous.

My husband and I have been here a few times and the food has always been good. They have a smallish menu but that is good - I never trust a restaurant that has too many dishes!
