Oregano Bistro

Lovely staff, accommodating and kind. Made me a quick pasta when the day was almost over! All the best!

The food and service was so great! I recommend getting the bruschetta, it is delicious and presented beautifully. They even gave us an extra spring roll! You can park along 1st avenue W and have a nice walk along the bridge to get there.

Saw the decent reviews and we went tonight. Unfortunately it was not a great experience. SERVICE: When we sat down we were greeted promptly and the server poured us room temperature water (no ice) and gave us our menus. At no point during the dinner did she ask us if we wanted drinks with our meal. We didn’t want anything alcoholic anyway, so we just stuck with water. She also did not tell us the specials. Food service speed was okay. Took about 20-30 minutes to bring us the entree, however they serve a complimentary Caesar salad while you wait. She never once asked us if everything was okay or if we were enjoying our meal. Another couple next to us took a few bites from their meal and then threw in the towel. She offered to box it up for them and they declined, leaving the full plates of food on their table. At the end of the meal, the server, without a word, handed us the bill. Didn’t ask if we liked the food. Didn’t ask if we wanted dessert. Nothing. FOOD: My wife ordered the hardy seafood soup, which was pretty good. I ordered the pumpkin soup. It was under-seasoned and watery. With pepper and salt (which we had to ask for) it was edible. My wife ordered the chicken ala king for $16 and I ordered the 12 ounce steak dinner for $28. Her chicken ala king noodles were very over cooked and there were only scraps of chicken to be found. Also very under seasoned and tasteless. My steak was ordered medium rare but there was no way on earth for the cook to make it that way since it was an extraordinaryly poor cut of meat that ranged in thickness from a centimetre to three centimetres. It was fatty, filled with gristle and really chewy. This is the first time in my life I have ever declined to finish a steak. The portabelllo mushroom was tasty but a bit burnt, the beans were cold, the potatoes were tasty and the cauliflower was inconsistent. Some cooked well, some not. Portions of both meals were generous. CLEANLINESS The bathroom for the restaurant is in the basement. When we went to wash our hands, there was a foul odour emanating from a bucket of black liquid and water all over the floor. The washrooms were not clean, but the smell (like sewage) was so foul it didn’t matter. The server said they were having a plumbing problem and the landlord had been called, so I didn’t blame them for the water on the floor. I did blame them for leaving a disgusting bucket of swamp water right outside the washrooms. Overall, it was a poor experience. I left a small tip, but I really shouldn’t have. It wasn’t worth the price we paid and I would never go back. Probably best to avoid. There are much better options in Owen Sound.

Service is good.owner is friendly. Food really good and vegetables are fresh.

Last summer we ate there twice and wen we returned this year (end of July 19) they remembered us. We again dined twice on July 21 and 25, 2019. The food was OUTSTANDING. I had the Signature Pork chop and the Chicken thigh while my wife has Chicken Marsala and Italian rice. We were delighted and I might add, I have some dietary issues which they accommodate to perfection. We cant wait till next summers trip

The owners are wonderful people, the food was great and the resturant decor is interesting. We will be back!

A fun little blend of Italian and Asian cuisine. If you're out to try something new, have a date night, or just want to hang out with friends you should definitely plan to stop in and have a bite.

It's nice Italian/Asian mix, the owner are very lovely too. Either you like the food or not you cannot deny the cook put some care to the food. Just be cautious that the ribs are sweet and looks like deep fried. Definitely try the stir fry.
