The place itself and the ambiance is really nice, I will give it that! However, the service...? Yeah, not so much. Unfriendly waitress, seemed 'bothered' and just very inhospitable. The food? Not impressed at all. I ordered the Scallop and Shrimp Risotto, it was not cooked all the way and the dish lacked flavor overall. I would say this entree is definitely not worth the $30! One final thing, when it was time to pay, we did ask to split the bill amongst 5 credit cards (which I know can be tedious). But, the waitress did it right then and there in front of us, she stood there and waited until each one of us entered our individual tip into the 'palm pilot' device they use now. Nothing against the new technology, I think it's efficient! But, the whole thing just felt quite awkward and rushed. read more

My husband and I came here for the first time Saturday night. Nice and spacious inside. Our server Jessica was so nice and friendly! She offered great recommendations for us. The steamed buns were awesome! We would definitely order those again. I had the chopped salad with blackened chicken, my husband had the philly sandwich with truffle fries. Both entrées were great! Glad to have a new date spot to go to, we will be back for sure. read more

Have been here twice. Four of us went once for lunch and another with six of us for dinner. Each time we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend the grilled peach flatbread and husband likes the sticky buns. Burgers, chicken sandwich, barbecue, Porkchops all equally great. Definitely one of my go to places I'll be glad to visit again. Nice decor, makes for great night out for families but also great for a date night. read more

Very good food! Everything we tried was great. My only "complaint" would be that the menu selection is on the smaller side which might be difficult for those with food restrictions, but then again you never know - I didn't ask. But our party of 3 enjoyed everything that we ordered from the peach flatbread to the chocolate lava cake. I also appreciated that it a wide open space and doesn't feel cramped inside. Lovely local establishment! read more

Their waiting list policy is a crock!! Unless you have more than 6 people, they won't take reservations. And they're listed in Open Table to be placed on Wait List, and it didn't look like there were any issues when we signed up, but they won't even honor the wait list! We get there and we're told (after both girls at there host tables were fiddling around with the computer for a good 5 minutes) that we have to wait AT LEAST an hour because of people who had reservations. Why even be listed in Open Table if you're not honoring it? Mind you, they had several open tables , including booths. In essence, they would rather take parties of 6 or more. read more

We just hosted a lunch for 68 ladies at 113 Main in Oswego. It was outstanding. The food was delicious. Everybody enjoyed the camaraderie and the politeness of the staff. Cheers to Mike Mann and to Elijah, Rachel and Jeff for a marvelous time. read more

I have been going here since it first opened. I really like it a lot but the last few months it seems to be slipping. Food is no where near what it use to be. read more

Absolutely love this place! The shrimp and grits was phenomenal. The others in my group got chicken and waffles which came with spicy candied bacon and carne asada tacos. The bottomless mimosas are $16 so that's definitely a perk! read more

Great lunch / dinner spot! The food and cocktails were absolutely delicious! We got the mahi burger with truffle fries, Greek salad and chopped salad - all highly recommended! The lavender Paloma cocktail was my personal favorite. The inside also has a nice vibe. We'll definitely be back again. read more

So disappointed! Love the food, and the staff is amazing, and we frequently visit this restaurant ... but was hit tonight with a 3% fee that was hid in the bill. We asked the waitress and she informed us it was charged regardless of cash or card. We always pay cash to avoid these fees. The braintrust at this particular restaurant felt it was ok to charge the fee anyway. This is really unfair to the servers as most people will just short the tip to offset the additional charge. Grow a spine and raise the prices if necessary. Don't hide additional charges in the bill without letting your customers know. read more

We love this restaurant and the food and the staff BUT their recent implementation of a surprise 3% service charge on ALL bills, regardless of cash/card, is unacceptable. We WERE regular customers, but this dishonesty leaves a bad taste in our mouths. read more

We won't be going back. The only thing that earned a 2 star was that the waitress was very good. That being said, the "loaded potato skins" were so over cooked and dry they were inedible. The "blackened" mahi sandwich may have been burned charred but not blackened. To be blackened it needs to be Cajun seasoned and pan seared. This had no flavor except for the sauces which left you with a mouth of mush. My wife ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich, was brought a buttermilk chicken sandwich instead. It was remade to go, good on the waitress. The best part of the meal were the baked French onion soups. Flavor and not salt bombs. The kicker in this whole visit was the female manager that spent most of her time either wandering aimlessly or chatting with the servers and bartender at the bar. She studious avoided our table even though she had to be aware of the difficulties. Again, soup and server good. 2 stars read more

Smaller restaurant and don't take reservations but they do allow you to get on the waitlist before you arrive. Food, drinks and service were amazing will definitely be back! read more

Food and drinks way overpriced and not very good nothing special or unique. For one mimosa they charge $8 like please it was mostly juice

Went out of a girls night, three of us in total. We got there a little bit before 7 and there was a very reasonable wait time for a table. When we were sat at a table it took a little over 10 minutes for a waiter to stop at our table, we were not in a rush so no biggie. Our waiter was very nice and made great drink recommendations. We ordered 3 apps that arrived fairly quickly. The stuffed Jalapeños were just ok but the pork belly buns and the honey and peach flatbread were amazing. The flavors of both of these just exploded in your mouth. They were so good we all debated taking an order of both home with us, we didn't but it was a close call. Our waiter was very hard to get ahold of, yes they were busy but we where at our table for about an hour before we even were able to place our dinner order. He did get us drink refills but would walk away from our table while we asked to place an order twice. He often walked by our table and we tried to flag us down without being seen, We did finally get to place an order but one of us almost hard to jump out of our seats to get his attention. The food again came out fairly quickly. Over all it was a disappointment compared to the apps. We got the shrimp and scallops which had a mushroom risotto. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly and I really liked some bites of the risotto but other bites were not that great. The crab cakes were nothing special, It had ok flavor, the sauce was a little bland but again not bad just meh. The Steak frites was good, it was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Both the crab cakes and the steak came with fries. The seasoning on the fries was great, the fries without that seasoning would not have been eaten. They were not bad but they just were not good. Dessert we tried the tiramisu and the crème brulee Both were amazing, the crème brulee did not really have the fun sugar top to crack but it really did not matter once you started eating it. The tiramisu was the better of the two It was both light and rich at the same time and the flavor was amazing. Oh the drinks were good. They have a seasonal mule that was very good and the 113 cosmo was a hit, the e learning fix was a little heavy on the tequila but still enjoyable. The best drink was the lemon drop martini, the bartender that worked the night we went makes an AMAZING lemon drop martini. We would absolutely go back for drink and apps but will probably skip dinner and go straight from the apps to dessert. read more

Good food options and a great cocktail menu! One of my favorites in town. I recommend

We went for the first time and we're kinda surprised how small the drink menu was. Unfortunately you have to ask what's on tap instead of them giving you a simple print out like most places. They had excellent beer choices once we found out what they were. The food was good, not a lot of options. I was majorly turned off by the fee for using a card instead of cash considering most people don't carry cash anymore especially due to covid. We did wait a lot and for a Saturday night it wasn't horribly busy. read more

Went here for dinner and it was alright. The short rib poutine was too salty but it had good flavor, the crispy chicken steamed buns were too tart and I couldn't eat more than one. 113 burger was really good, had good flavor and I enjoyed it. The biggest downside in my opinion is the food wasn't hot enough and the service was lacking. I asked for ketchup with my burger and it took 7 minutes to get it, had to ask another waiter. The molten lava cake was great but there was no blackberries like it said on the menu. Overall it wasn't bad but it wasn't great, I'd recommend giving it a try because there's a chance I just bad a bad experience. Overall 3/5. read more

First time and it's was a great experience. Shrimp tacos were seasoned just right. Husbands burger was excellent. I also enjoyed 2 blackberry bourbon smash drinks - VERY GOOD! Service was quick and friendly. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Will definitely be back! read more

Great place for Brunch! It has really good food and drink, and the staff was really great to us!

So this is my second review of this place and we encountered the same issue as the first. Called in our order and were told they are not taking pick up orders today (at 4:30pm). This is the second time we've called months apart and second time this has happened! This place cannot be counted on at all. Don't bother scheduling your evening around this disaster. read more

A continuation of the west suburban trend of heavy investment into mediocre restaurants, 113 Main delivers only a reminder that the food scene in Oswego has a very long way to go. Clearly inspired by places like Sovereign and Craft Urban but lacking any semblance of creativity or talent, this is the sort of place that's "upscale" only to those who aren't overly fond of food. None of the menu seemed to go together, and the wine list was an absolute joke. The cocktails and beer were even worse. If they have a chef, their heyday was thirty-plus years ago looking at the food style. Although, one would think even a brand new line cook could properly prepare mussels (only half of mine were even opened!). 113 Main is as bland and unremarkable as its name suggests, and an absolute mockery of everything a restaurant could, and should, be. read more

Jason L couldn't have said it better! I recently moved to Oswego 2yrs ago and I'm definitely disappointed to only find an abundance of chain restaurants and very mediocre start ups. I didn't order anything special since it's my first experience with the restaurant but when I arrived to pickup my food which I ordered by way of DoorDash, I was told that they don't do DoorDash. I then placed my order in the restaurant and oddly enough I received a message from DoorDash saying that the restaurant was closed. Strange? Steamed buns were actually good but the buttermilk chicken sandwich was uneventful, I ordered kids chicken tenders which looked like frozen Tyson tenders. The 113 burger was ordered medium but it seemed to jump off the grill early and the nachos were 7-11ish. I can't imagine how the food will be when they're at full capacity, maybe there's still a glimmer of hope. I'm sorry Oswego mom's group but you lied to my wife about this one. Definitely need to go further east than Rt.30! read more

We recently went there with high hopes based on the positive reviews. But..what a disappointment. The steamed buns had hardly any filling, they did not look nearly as good as the images posted by other reviewers, and they all stuck to the metal serving thing that they were served on and therefore all fell apart when removing them. The tacos were dry and tasteless, again with hardly any filling, no sauce, no beans, rice etc..not worth $14. The burger was not as described on the menu, was sitting in a pool of liquid/grease so that when picking it up, the entire bottom bun fell apart. The fries did not taste freshly made, were barely luke warm and all the pointy end pieces. Not a lot of fries at all and none were longer than 1 inch. The Ruben was thin without much meat. After spending almost $100 for dinner, especially when it was not busy at all, it was a major disappointment. Will not return. read more

I've been visiting Oswego for about a week to visit family and have come here multiple times as it's one of their favorites. The staff is nice, and the ambiance is to die for, but the food is good enough (but the quality is inconsistent, ESPECIALLY for the truffle fries) and the service isn't that great. The last time I went, somebody in the kitchen quit on the spot apparently so I didn't get the right food for about 25 minutes (they got it wrong the first time). It's a good place to try, but if something doesn't go to plan, you should have a backup :D read more

Decided to give this place a try after several great reviews from friends. The atmosphere is fun. Upscale bar. The service we had was excellent. Disappointed that they did not carry to very popular beers that my husband prefers to drink. They carry mostly craft brews and IPA's which is not his preference. The food was quite good. Would prefer less sauce on some of the items but now we know to order any sauces or dressings on the side. Looking forward to trying it again. read more

This is our second time dining in at the restaurant. We tried the lobster and crab cake, steak frites, Baja tacos, fried asparagus, truffle fries, salmon and the short rib poutine. Everything was delicious. I'm already thinking about the next thing I'm going to try on the menu. Drink wise we tried the Manhattan and Paloma. Both drinks were really good. Regarding the atmosphere, I think they need a better drink display for the bar. I feel like they could of done more with the space. read more

Nice atmosphere for drinks but the food could be improved, we ordered the fried calamari, a wedge salad and an order of steak tacos with wine, the calamari was cold and chewy, the wedge salad was kind of dry and very small, the steak tacos were very good and would order them again if I can convince my wife to go back. read more

Went here with the gals for dinner last night and everything was amazing. Great, friendly service. Great drinks and food. Loved the atmosphere. What a great addition to downtown Oswego!!! read more

A little too much! The food was ok but not worth the price. The service was just ok. The ambiance was pleasing to the eye but lacked a good flow and felt like a cafeteria. read more

The service, atmosphere and food were all great. Also, a VERY clean restaurant. Thanks for an enjoyable evening!

I have been here 3 times. Every time it was absolutely delicious. I am not sure why such low reviews. Finally we have something fresh and nice to eat around here. I went for my birthday. The staff is so nice and knowledgeable, I had carne asada tacos and they were delicious. Chicken sandwich melts in your mouth. Steamed buns were a wonderful surprise and very delicious. They had a chocolate mouse in a chocolate cup that melted in your mouth. I will definitely be back and I told many people what a wonderful restaurant this is. read more
