    Breaded chicken with spicy sauce - A plate features a breaded chicken cutlet topped with a spicy, creamy sauce garnished with chopped herbs and red pepper flakes. A lemon wedge is placed on the side of the plate. In the background, there is a bowl of fresh green salad with arugula leaves. The dish is served on a white, textured plate on a wooden table in a restaurant setting.

    This spot was recommended to us and it was amazing! I enjoyed the meal a lot. The ambiance gives fancy barn vibes with dim lighting. 4/5 because our lasagna was a bit burnt and the sauce on the breaded chicken is super spicy. But I would be willing to come back and try something else off the menu. Service was great, super friendly, checked in, and gave recommendations.

    Osa is a gem located in Middletown Connecticut. With its stunning interior and friendly weight staff, this is definitely a place to check out. We've been two times now and the service and food quality are consistent. The first time we went I had a fish dish and I didn't care for it. It was a little too smoky and fishy for me. But it looks lovely. What I remember from our first visit was the burger that my husband had so when we recently revisited I knew that was the thing to get. And I have no regrets. Everything was delicious Including the cocktails. While there are so many places to visit in Middletown and we have lots to explore, we definitely recommend making Osa a priority.

    I meant to write this forever ago but this restaurant was phenomenal. We love a place with happy employees that genuinely enjoy the menu and the atmosphere. Everything was delicious and I would 100% come here again.

    It was so yummy!!! Plus our server was excellent! I only had the snack size and small plates because I wanted to try as much! The mushroom and polenta was delicious!!! Whipped ricotta was so light and delicious! It can get pretty noisy but the place was great! Love the vibe!

    Love the atmosphere here. Feels trendy and unique. Great food choices on a rotating menu. Great service and patrons at the bar. Walked here from Krust (you might want to drive) to see if they had any good bourbons to try. While their selection isn't as big as Krust they still had some hard to find bottles for a bar. Would like to come back to try the food next time!

    The image shows a storefront window with a black frame set into a building with black vertical siding. The window displays a red neon sign spelling "Osa," and reflections of parked cars, trees, and a building are visible in the glass. Shadows of trees are cast on the sidewalk and the building's exterior. The building has a white brick lower section and a green awning at the top, suggesting a commercial area.

    Our waiter Dave was awesome! Great experience. We had a few items. The sourdough bread uhhh so good! BBQ shrimp with the old bay biscuit to die for ! We also had the oysters a La plancha. So so so good! Add the gnocchi which was perfect. My entree I had the rainbow trout , my first time having rainbow trout it was great! My guest had the steak tip burger which I heard was great! This experience was 10/10. Ambiance is 10/10 also beautifully put together interior .

    OSA burger - A plate contains a burger with a bun, French fries, and a side of onions. Behind the plate, there is a glass of rosé wine and a glass of water on a wooden table. The setting appears to be a restaurant with dim lighting and a casual dining atmosphere.

    Finally got a chance to check out OSA with my bestie after we've been taking about going for years. We made a table reso but opted to sit at the bar instead because it's more fun. The bartenders were great. My friend loved her spicy margaritas and my rose was great. We split the salad and both had the burger. Salad was good and burger was delicious as well as fries. Wish burger came with some pickles though! Loved the vibe in this place. I kept saying I felt like I was in a sauna with all the wood slats. Lol. We can't wait to come back!

    The Ambiance here was so cool! One of the most awesome and unique restaurant designs in the area! Loved the food and drinks and the servers were all very friendly and easygoing. Definitely would come back if I was in the area again.

    We went to Osa for our daughters birthday recently. While I am not a fan of the loud music, it was OK. Great ambience with the wood ceiling. The service was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive waitress. Every request was followed. And without a doubt, the hanger steak was the best steak I have had in a restaurant in decades. Perfectly cooked. Presented in a chimichurri sauce that was out of this world. Extremely generous portion. Absolutely everything was delicious. Definitely worth a repeat. Kudos to the chef!

    Thank you martini

They have pretzels with dips, gourmet stuffed pretzels, pretzel sandwiches, wings, tenders and fish and chips. The bar was decorated for Christmas and they were serving special holiday drinks in fun Christmas themed mugs. I had the Christmasaurus in a red ceramic dinosaur and my wife had a Butter Rum Mocktail in a winking Santa mug. My drink was tasty and the mugs were fun. We bought a couple of the fun mugs to go. A person who I believe was the owner and the chef, was wearing a Christmas sweater and obviously loves the Christmas theme. Our server who doubled as the bartender was a bit more stoic about the theme. LOL. The food was generally good. It seemed like the pretzels may have picked up another aroma from the kitchen while the pretzels were cooking, because they had a slight aftertaste. Manageable, but not ideal. The pretzels looked great and had good texture. The beer cheese dip and mustard dip were both good. My pretzel stuffed with Mac and Cheese and short rib was good. We also split some holiday snack mix and Carolina BBQ wings. They were probably my favorite part of the meal. 4 Stars. The Hop Knot is definitely a place to check out. I understand that there used to be one in Middletown, CT and one in New Hampshire, although I'm unclear on the relation to the present owners in Portland.

The atmosphere is straight up bar but we still felt comfortable with our teens with us. It would have been fine with smaller children too as the restaurant seating is away from the bar area. The beer menu was fairly comprehensive. They have their own brews and have many local CT craft brews on draft. They also have some cans and bottles if that's your thing. I didn't notice any crazy rare lambics but that's not what we were looking for. We had a few hazies and few stouts and everything was delightful. Our server Anna was a seasoned pro. She knew the menu and exactly when to come by our table to check in. We had some pulled pork nachos and there was plenty to go around. The dry rub on the wings was delicious and the wings themselves were cooked right. Overall, if you find yourself in Middletown looking for a nice beer and some decent food, this is a great choice!
