Here we go again! After 12 years of leading the dining scene in Barrie we are proud to introduce Oscar’s Seafood Kitchen & Oyster bar.

The new menu is a nifty balance of the expected — required elements such as shrimp cocktail, lobster sliders and house smoked salmon — and the wholly unexpected. Seared Tuna, falls into the latter category, a silky slab of pink fish with a fingerling potato salad; Mussels, steamed to perfection with white wine, potatoes, leeks and homemade bacon; succulent fish tacos benefit from a pulped avocado slathered onto the corn tortillas, and try the daily ceviche for a mouth watering start to an unforgettable seafood experience. Oscar’s uses as many locally grown ingredients as possible and only serves sustainable fish.

And for those carnivores we offer succulent grilled half chicken with white bean and butternut squash; house brined pork chop with a goat cheese polenta and of course The Best Tenderloin in town with roast garlic mash and our legendary red wine reduction.

Chef’s tables are a staple at Oscar’s Seafood Kitchen and Oyster Bar. Take the blind adventure, only choosing between meat or fish. You can dip your feet in the water with three course meal, tread lightly with a four course or take the plunge with five delectable courses. Don’t worry; your server will hold your hand throughout the experience.

Another indulgence is the provocative Oyster Bar, featuring 4 daily choices from exotic to local with cool accompaniments and a variety of styles from raw to shooters. And every Sunday for $33 you can indulge in a 3 course mouth-watering Lobster menu, choosing from a handful of our signature lobster dishes.

Desserts are expertly prepared with seasonal delicacies and a whole lot of flair. They vary daily so be sure to save room for round three or maybe four.

Our dining room is flooded with natural light and comfortable banquettes ideal for intimate meals or group functions. We also offer a private room for groups up to 14 with full audio visual equipment for presentations.

Oscar's lounge area with its sleek bar transforms into a truly exceptional and inspiring dining, cocktailing and entertaining experience. With ample seating, the lounge is perfect for a starter cocktail, appetizers or a casual meal. Our awesome menu is available for both rooms.

The good news for frustrated fans (tables are tough to get here) is that Oscar’s is open for lunch hours, serving the regular menu and always with daily lunch features.
