We enjoyed the evening but found the wine pairing was over-priced for what we received.

Osco! is a real delight. The French Onion Soup & the soup of the day are the perfect starters. The wine selection is superb, enjoyed Canadian wines during our two visits. The service at Osco! is top notch & staying in the hotel on a cold winter night made Osco! a perfect & comfortable place for dinner!

Ordered room service while staying at the Intercontinental. Lovely young man Jonathan brought up my food quickly. He was very courteous & even chilled my wine! Burger I ordered was delicious would highly recommend this place.

It's always a delight to eat in an elegant restaurant - tasteful & comfortable furnishings, good lighting, soft music & a welcoming vibe. Osco has all that plus friendly good humoured staff. Plus it has great food - my wife & I agreed that this was one of the better meals we have had in some time. I couldn't resist the promo special of a dozen oysters for $16 (Tuesday & Thursday only). They were small but fresh & succulent with a slightly piquant vinaigrette on the side - a good start! My wife had the roasted chicken with grilled mixed vegetables - it was moist & flavourful. I had the charred salmon fillet, perfectly cooked, moist fall-apart texture with crispy skin. It came with asparagus & pasta noodles in a very light sauce - delicious. We shared a lemon tart. Smooth tangy lemon curd on a light biscuit base ringed by a line of soft meringue - also excellent. My only negative was a glass of the special sparkling wine, that was flat. The staff were attentive & helpful. Excellent restaurant & very reasonable prices for the high quality food & service.
