10. Oscar's French Steakhouse & Bistro
Overall Ratings
4 based on 456 reviews
A corner of France in the heart of Leamington Spa. Our style, the food, the atmosphere, the wine, is unashamedly French.
Reviewed By bustle
Went on a Tuesday night for their fixed âAubergeâ menu. Cosy atmosphere typical of an authentic French bistro (Cafe Rouge it is not, thankfully). Food and service both excellent and unpretentious and the place was packed for a Tuesday night. High Street restaurant chains could learn a thing or two about how to satisfy customers by doing things simply, but excellently. Starter (Ham Hock terrine) and main course (steak) both superb, washed down with a carafe of red wine and finally a lemon posset for dessert. Bill didnât break the bank and will definitely be back. Why canât there be more places like this?

An intimate and cool environment comfortable and cultured. The food is really well thought out and the chef is clearly trying to innovate and surprise. Menu is limited but interesting and delivers texture taste and decent presentationA great spot for an intimate dinner.The chef is committed and perhaps s bit too chatty

I visited with my husband for brunch, upon going to the outer we were told that we would have to wait for approximately 15/20 minutes, quite understandable. We waited over 30mins with out cup of tea. More people came, regulars, my husband said that we were getting near to running out of time in the car park. So he went to the counter and cancelled his food, saying that l would still wait for mine. I waited another 15minutes, still no food and l was totally ignored. Meanwhile other customers in the cafe were being served with desserts. I had enough and walked out just as my husband arrived outside the cafe to pick me up. Needless to say we will not be going there again, we wasted £20, that's a lot just for 2 cups of tea!Many thanks for taking the time out to leave this review, I can see from the fact you haven't even had the time to put a profile picture on, that time is very precious to you. Given that this is such a scathing review, I decided to fact check as such a review can be so detrimental to a small, independent, family run business as ours. Your order was placed at 13:28 while we were at full capacity of 12 tables, a classic sign of a lack of good customer service (I believe you and your wife had the last available table). When you ordered I was clear that there would be a wait of some time, as other tables were before you, and as you correctly stated we prepare fresh food. This is something I do with all customers when there are orders in, and at no point did I give you a timescale of 20 minutes, so that you could make a decision whether to order or not. You ordered nevertheless and didn't mention at any time about parking restrictions you had or I would have happily said there and then that it would not be achievable. I'm not sure how you came to your timings, as I checked via our CCTV and you left at 14:05 (37 minutes), and your wife at 14:16 (48 minutes)? Had you given me the opportunity I would have happily refunded you but you had already left without once before mentioning time restrictions, and your £20 refund will be waiting for you if you would like to come and get it, we're open 8-4pm Monday to Saturday. Feel free, as is your right, to post another review on trip advisor, I will be happy to copy and paste this same response so that our potential customers can have both sides to the story and come to their own decisions. If on a busy Saturday in the future you require a meal in a more timely manner, may I suggest the excellent Greggs on The Parade.

I've been to The Tame Hare on 3 occasions now. Let me start by saying I cannot fault the food, it is delicious every single time we go. However, the service is questionable and has left me not wanting to visit again.The most recent visit, we had the 8 course tasting menu, and my boyfriend did the 'wine flight'. On more than one occasion the kitchen did not relay to the bar about what course we were on, resulting in the wrong wine being served on the wrong course. The owner (i think) even confronted the member of waiting staff about the wine mistakes right in front of us, which was very awkward. Secondly, all but one member of staff left while we were still finishing our drinks, and most of the lights were turned off around us. I understand we were the last table in there and you were ready to close up for the night, but after paying around £100 per person for a meal you can't just force out your customers by turning the lights off. It made the atmosphere very uncomfortable and we felt like we had to drink up quick and leave.Overall I honestly don't think I'd return in a hurry, it's a shame because, the food is 10/10, I just can't justify the money on somewhere where the service just isn't up to scratch. :(Hi Amy, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the food, sadly the same can't be said about the level of service you experienced.I have just spoken on the phone to my father (the Gentleman who was front of house on Saturday) to double check what happened on the evening.I can only apologise for the confusion about the drink served incorrectly (my father is adamant the 'confrontation' was done at the bar area and not near your table) With regards to the atmosphere changing once the staff had left. The staff in question were my Father and his Partner, they both have full time jobs outside of helping us out at the Restaurant at the weekends so i wanted to make sure, as i always do, that they get home as soon as i can get them away.The Lights you refer to were the kitchen lights, these always get turned off once the last desserts have been sent and washing up done, but i am sorry this made you feel this way, i will make an active effort to not turn them off if there is a table sat closer to the kitchen, so my apologies for that.I'm sorry that when this occured it couldn't be resolved on the evening in question, we would have happily removed the gratuity without question and hopefully nipped it in the bud then and there. hearing that you have dined 3 times with us i would have hoped you could have approached us with this matter before resorting to TripAdvisor to express your dissapointment.We hope to see you again and we are currently making massive changes to our Front of house Service so hopefully they will be up to scratch next time for you.If there is anything else please feel free to get in touch.Kind Regards, Jonny

We found this place by mistake . I ordered a large veggie breakfast and my wife just ordered toast and coffee. This was more than enough food for both of us with excellent hash browns, lovely mushrooms and really good coffee. Friendly service, nice surroundings and not expensive at all. We will be back as it was excellent all round. We did see the guy at the next table ordering a full English and it looked huge and really well presented. Well done.

Food excellent all very fresh, cooked and presented superbly. The service was excellent, with very friendly with an appropriate awareness to privacy. I look forward to going again very soon.The only slight observation is that the tables for two could do with being slightly larger in order to hold more of the delicious food and drinks.

Visited on a Friday evening for a pub dinner and started straight into the mains.My choice of the Indian curry with add on chicken, rice and naan was absolutely tasteless and poorly presented. The rest of the mains ordered looked satisfactory.Service was friendly and pleasant. Wine ordered was drinkable.Us pub and restaurant owners are becoming a rather sad breed with the way we let reviews affect us. After a huge length of time with nothing but excellent reviews, yours has devastated me!I'm not one for disputing a person's taste, but it is a shame that you found the curry so poor. It is a traditional recipe aloo gobi dry curry, made with fresh tomatoes, paprika roasted potatoes and cauliflower, cumin, garam marsala, crushed coriander seeds, turmeric, and chillies. It is not a common wet and spicy curry, so I'm not sure if this may have been the issue. In any case, I am very saddened that you were less than happy with it, and a little disappointed that we were not made aware in person on the night. However, we hope to see you again soon.Kind regards, John
