Came in for happy hour around 4:45pm (happy hour ends at 5pm). We sat at the bar and got our $1.00 off beer orders taken right away. I got the steak bites, tomato soup and the chicken wraps. All of them were very good. The soup was delicious. The lettuce wraps were very good and I really liked the sauce they serve with the chicken. Oh and the chicken was very tender too. The steak bites were tender and I liked the balsamic sauce they serve with the steak bites as well. I really liked they have my favorite beer on tap too the Mirror Pond. The service was top notch as well. I can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely amazing food and they have one of the best filet mignon's in Vancouver and you can't beat the price. One major warning: if you want service, avoid the bar like the plague!!! I've eaten at the bar three times and sat at a table in the bar area once, each time the service was terrible. My friend and I actually left last time when people that came in after us were taken care of first. read more

I came in on Easter for a nice dinner with my family and we sat outside, it was a beautiful day and the atmosphere was great. It's honestly just a beautiful spot overall, the kind of place you want to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was really good, and although it came out a little slowly, it was still worth the wait. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our server, Tony, wasn't very friendly, kind of rude to my family and me, actually, didn't clear or clean our table, and I even overheard him complaining about work to a coworker. It definitely took away from the experience. I'd really recommend hiring people who actually want to be there and provide good customer service. Overall, the food and setting were great, but the service needs improvement. read more

Oswego Grill - Salmon Oscar. One of their specials, delicious!! - American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

The food was amazing the ambiance was great with a wonderful view, and the service was outstanding! I got the Wagyu Burger and all of the flavors melded together perfectly I don't normally eat burgers, so I was a little nervous about the choice but it was great. As a starter we got a spinach and artichoke dip and that was extremely tasty as well! The view was great sitting by the window and watching the sun set while eating made the ambiance even better. I will definitely be returning for a happy hour soon! read more

Stunning Columbia River views, perfect for a special celebration with your family or friends. The hardwood-grilled steaks and seafood like the bone-in ribeye or seared halibut are highlights, cooked over mesquite and applewood for great flavor. Friendly service, nice ambiance, solid happy hour. Try out their sundae! It is delicious! read more

Visited Oswego Grill for a business meeting while in Vancouver. Their parking lot is shared with a few other establishments, but I found ample parking was available. Upon entering, our group was greeted by two very welcoming hostesses who invited us to visit the bar while our table was prepared. The bar was nice, with a classic vibe and great selection of local wines, spirits, and beer. After a cocktail, we went over to our table. We enjoyed some of the best calamari I have ever tasted, along with amazing crab cakes for appetizers. For an entree, I selected the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl which was just what I expected. I'd highly recommend checking out Oswego Grill if you're in the area, perhaps to enjoy their nice Happy Hour options. read more

Oswego Grill is in a really nice location (the old Beaches spot). The view is great! The service was over all good, everyone was attentive and pleasant. There was a small mix-up with our order, but it was handled quickly and corrected without any issue, which was appreciated. I ordered the parmesan crusted sole, it tasted good but didn't quite wow me. Though it was still enjoyable. For dessert, I had the harvest apple crisp, it was delicious and sweet. Overall a good experience and a solid place to dine. read more

This was my first time here & everything was great! Seafood dishes looked good, ended up ordering the Hawaiian Wagyu Burger with a cup of clam chowder. It was awesome! Lemonade is made in-house and was refreshing. Service was quick, nice, and helpful. The ambiance was fancy, dark inside, outside was great. Got to sit next to the fire! read more

Went on a Friday when the Christmas boats were cruising the river and had a good view from our seats inside to see them. Took a group of young girls out for a dinner experience and they truly enjoyed it. This place was packed onna Friday night at 630, so make sure you make reservations and be on time for them. They can accommodate larger groups (we had 10) and the place is fairly spacious. We had everything from the calamari to the creme brulee. No one had an issue with their meal, and nothing was sent back to the kitchen. I'll be back to try happy hour one day! read more

Was excited to see the new restaurants and we had a 6:30pm reservation for 2. Showed up at 6:25pm and was told table wasn't ready and it would be awhile as we had to wait for someone to get up in order to be seated. Around 6:40pm the hostess said we could walk to the bar and find ourselves a table instead. This defeated the entire purpose of a reservation. We walked ourselves over to the bar area and found a spot. Waited almost 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Had to ask them for menus too. Another 10min later and we have menus. Server was quick to ask what we wanted but we just got the menus so were not ready. Server took about 15 more minutes to come back for our order but rather than take our order first, he took the order of the group that sat aside us, after we'd been waiting awhile. Food was delicious, drinks were good too. Slow service was frustrating. In all, it still looks how Beaches looked with some changes but nothing drastic. read more

This new 4mo old LOG location (Former Beaches Restaurant) in Vancouver has the same great food and service as the other locations. My beautiful wife and I went there for lunch on our anniversary after she picked me up from the airport. Or server was great and the food was very tasty. We both had an espresso martini. Both of our meals were amazing. The ambiance right on the river of course adds to the attraction of this restaurant. read more

5pm me and my friend came to the restaurant, 2 young ladies opened the doors for us and the gentleman took my name and number down and let me know it'll be about a 10 min wait. I got a text they we're ready to see us in about 15 minutes, and let me tell you the restaurant was extremely busy! Our server Amy greeted us, she was very kind and great personality! We ordered the burrata and beet salad as well as Vegas sushi roll. Both were excellent and delivered quickly For entrees we ordered Parmesan crusted sole and stuffed chicken (friend added bacon on-top). It wasn't a super long wait for our entrées, but I do wish they spaced the appetizer and entree a little bit closer together. Again, they were crazy busy so I understood. Both entrées were insanely delicious, however, the Parmesan crusted soul desperately needed more of the sauce. The entrée has two pieces of fish and halfway through the first fish, I was already out of sauce, and I was rationing! Our server came to check in when we were nearly done with our meals, so I didn't have the opportunity to say anything although even if I did it being the type of sauce, it is not something I would think would be easy to cook on the fly? Just for future reference, definitely suggest ordering it, just ask for extra sauce. Although it was incredibly busy, it didn't feel like it was crowded or loud, we could hear the music playing above us, but at a good level where we could still talk. Where they did see us the lightbulb above the table shine directly in my face where me and my friend were making jokes that it looks like I'm being interrogated, it was pretty dang rough, but funny. We ordered ice tea and Pepsi and you can add flavors to both (I added mango to my ice tea and my friend added guava to his Pepsi) I'll be back! read more

Mom, dad and I had been coming to this location for the past 30 years when it was called Beaches. We were all devastated when Beaches shuttered their doors. We had decades of birthday memories at that place. So when my mom surprised us with lunch at Oswego Grill, we all had our skeptic hats on. They did a full-on redecoration from carpet to ceiling. Bringing the mood from fun beachy to bland tasteful. No more servers in shorts and island themed tops and sneakers either. The waitstaff is professionally appointed in all black. The menu is about $5-$10 pricier but not prohibitively high unless you're thinking about ordering an appetizer. My only complaint is that when I specifically requested no green onions, or green anything's on my stuffed salmon, it came out with chives on it. I have a deep hatred for anything in the allium genus. It took them forever to bring my corrected dish out to me. Once they got it right, it was fantastic. Stuffed with gooey Brie and loads of shrimp, it was divine. I appreciate that both the server and the manager came by the table to check on us. Whatever they did to the side of asparagus was magical too. We came in wearing our skeptic hats and left wearing our fan caps. 2026 - Review # 3 read more

Met family here for lunch on a Sunday at noon. Tried to make reservations online through Open Table, but they require reservations over the phone for groups of more than 6. We had 9 in our group. When we arrived, our table was ready. I'm not sure how many 'big' tables they have, but ours was a round table that was tucked in a corner. It accommodated 9 adults nicely, however; our server(s) had a difficult time serving and clearing drinks & food for all of us. It ended up being a team effort, which was okay, but disrupted conversations at times. Our table ordered a variety of food including salads, fried chicken, steaks, salmon, burgers, and sandwiches. Everyone enjoyed their food, not one complaint. Even though we had leftovers boxed up at our table, everyone ordered dessert. We ordered apple crisp, creme brulee, peanut butter cheesecake and the famous Farrell's sundae. We had two birthdays in our party, so the sundaes were complimentary with a thoughtful birthday card signed by staff. So nice! All staff was friendly, welcoming, accommodating and attentive. We had no issues with separate checks, and they didn't automatically charge a 20% gratuity for our group as they stated during my reservation. Our server said they don't do that at their location. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend. We'll definitely be back! read more

Very good restaurant. Was going to see tenant at adjacent NW condos so took neighbors there. Had poke app which was very good. Bit light on poke. Dinner had steak and shrimp, steak salad, seafood risotto and chix marsella. All very good except risotto bit bland. Dessert was amazing. Apple crisp and banana split. Although almost didn't get split as they said initially no bananas. Head waiter got us one without and was great! Passionately had mojito and creamsicle drinks. Cream like old school ice cream. Recommend for dinner. read more

YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes, location, location, location with great service and food. LOCATION: Did I say location? Well continuing the tradition of Beaches for a fun American dining experience. Easy to find, parking can be a pain so if you go during busy times you may need to walk a bit, drop guests at the door so they don't hear you cussing looking for a spot. FACILITY: First class for river dining, indoor or out. Great Columbia River views, quiet enough and romantic if you need it to be. MENU: Updated and everything you could ask for is available. FOOD PREP: Nicely done, you can tell the kitchen cares, it is part of their brand and they know your eyes eat first. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent, I had the Burrata and Beet Salad, it was great. Highly recommended. LIBATIONS: Did not partake on this trip but I have spent my time at the Beaches bar area. It is close to the PIR race track so we'd drop in and have waaaaay to much fun. WAITSTAFF: Very professional from the host greetings, seating, and waitstaff at the table. Impressive and a step up from Beaches which was pretty great. OVERALL VALUE: It is a great location and value. I miss the past owner of Beaches who built one of my favorite Portland / Vancouver hangouts. I hear he may be opening up something new at some point but when I am back in the part of the USA, I will visit. . TIP: Sitting outside is special when you can, dress warm and enjoy a spinach coffee while dining al fresco. Chao. read more

Bestie took me to Happy hour while visiting back home! Wonderful! This used to be the old Beaches. We enjoyed the ambiance and especially the food. I tried fish tacos and a Caesar salad both were tasty. Cocktails were okay nothing to rave about my margarita seems to be on the lighter side not a big deal it was happy hour, but note to self. I probably would just opted for wine next time. Almost forget we shared the Shrimp tempura! One of the best I've had in a while. Yes, I would return!!! Great views of the river !!!!!!! read more

Updated review from 2 stars to 4 stars: the owner of the company I work for really likes Oswego Grill so we decided to have our company Christmas lunch here. I have to admit they have redeemed themselves because the food we ordered was great! They gave us our own space and plenty of it so we didn't feel crowded. The only issue we had was service, our waitress kept forgetting things or saying that the food was not cooked as ordered so she sent it back. That is nice if it's the latter but it did cause a couple coworkers to sit watching others eat due to their food not being brought out at the same time. Other than this I really enjoyed my lunch and the Harvest Apple dessert was fantastic!! read more

I was a big fan of Beaches Restaurant and Bar for years and was among those who were saddened to hear of its closing in early 2025. But when I heard that Oswego Grill was coming to the iconic Vancouver restaurant location, I was excited to see what they did the space. The remodel successfully brought this space up to current trends with clean black and natural wood throughout. The menu offered a decent selection and the food was reasonably priced. At 11:30am there was already a wait list for lunch so be sure to make a reservation! read more

Service and food was impeccable. Ordered the crab cake appetizer, you wont be sorry.

I am blown away by the extremely friendly staff (shoutout to Cam!) and the food was delicious. Prices were not viciously overpriced which is tough to find these days.

I took a friend to lunch on Sunday, April 26th, 2026. I ordered the Alaskan King Salmon dinner - $32.00 and an iced tea - $4.99. When my meal came, I was shocked. The salmon was gray and mushy. It didn't flake, like it should. I took a tiny bite and knew right away, the salmon was off. I sent it back and requested a new meal. The salmon came out the 2nd time, gray and mushy, only this time, it wasn't cooked through. I was too gun-shy to try anything else. My friend was long finished with her meal and I didn't want to invest any more time in experimenting. The bill was brought, my meal was not on there, but they couldn't be bothered to comp my iced tea. I thought that was the least they could do for the disappointing experience. Midway through the meal, a couple was brought into the bar, with their French bulldog. I was puzzled, as the dog was not wearing a "service dog" vest. A few minutes later, a couple of gals were seated, and one of them had a dog...in a stroller. I asked on the way out if they allowed dogs. I was told they allowed service animals. When I mentioned the Frenchie did not have a service vest, I was then told they allowed "emotional" support animals. I asked how they checked that, and was told, "we don't really check that". I'm pretty sure the state of Washington doesn't allow pets in restaurants. Besides the hygiene factor, what about people who may be allergic to dogs, or afraid of them? Experience was awful. I cannot recommend. read more

This is our second time visiting Oswego Grill on Columbia River. I was disappointed by the customer service of both the hostess and management. Our wait time was very long. Talking to the manager about our frustration of watching others get sat before us, he was quick to provide us with multiple excuses. It's really too bad because both the waitress that served us and the food was great. Im hoping with a little more time, service will improve. Even a simple offer of free dessert or appetizer would have made a huge difference. I wasn't looking for a freebie and would have turned the offer down, but it at least would have been a token of "I hear your concern and we want to make this right". Good management can recover a negative experience. Bad management just reenforces a bad experience. read more

Since this place is newer and has been very popular, I made reservations for an early dinner at 4:45, and I'm glad I did as they were quite busy when we arrived. We were seated quickly and attended to by an amazing waitstaff. My water glass was never empty and our server checked in regularly to confirm that we had everything we needed. The view from this restaurant is amazing. Right on the Columbia River, with outside seating available, but also a significant portion of the indoor tables have a great view. When we arrived, the toddler with us was very hungry, and when we determine that they did not offer bread service, our server recommended their fruit bowl ($4) and understanding the assignment, this was brought to us right away. The little guy loved it, and I thought it was a great deal. My daughter ordered the grilled steak salad, which came with crispy Brussels sprouts and she said everything on it was delicious. The kids menu includes choices, like macaroni and cheese, pasta, cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, etc. Our guy wanted just plain macaroni, which they were happy to make for him. Meanwhile, I'm a prime rib, lover, so I went with that ($40). I was pleased to see a very generous slice of prime rib, which came with their signature, buttermilk, mashed potatoes, red potatoes with the skins on, which I really enjoyed. The only suggestion/criticism I have is that I felt both the kids meal and the prime rib should have come with a vegetable. A few stocks of, say, broccoli on my plate would've made me really happy. Just an offer of an opportunity for improvement that management might consider. Another thing I really appreciated about the service was that when I asked for a to-go container for my leftover prime rib, I was provided with the container and also new containers of au jus and horseradish that they packaged up for me. It was very thoughtful and appreciated. Parking was a little rough. We had to park a distance down, on the other side of McMenamins and I can only imagine it got more challenging later. read more

Shockingly well-staffed for these times. Excellent staff, some of the best I've seen in some time. This includes the management staff that was overseeing the floor. I had the ribs, my wife had the big ribeye. She loved the ribeye, it was perfect for her. I adore that the mashed potatoes were unmistakably fresh from scratch, neither of us will accept anything else. The ribs were very good, done to a perfect degree but slightly dry in spots. The sauce was bold and not too sweet. Probably the best ribs in this town, albeit a low bar. My wife enjoyed her margaritas. Parking is hard to come by during busy times, which are busy indeed. It's not cheap but it's not yet Seattle pricing. In return, you get better food and service than the Beaches it replaces by every metric. read more

Pretty nice ambiance, I like what they did with the place. We continue to wait for service. Solid array of sports on a few televisions. I like what they did with the place after since taking it over from Beaches. We continue to wait for service. After 9 minutes we left. Place wasn't busy so i can't give em much room there.

We have been to the Oswego locations in Portland and loved them. The food is great, staff is wonderful, and the overall value and menu selections are pretty decent. When we heard that they would be replacing the Beaches locations, we were both sad and excited. Today, we decided to try out the new location for lunch. It was a hot Sunday and we wanted to sit outside. We always loved sitting outside at Beaches and this was no different. Walking through the entrance, we were immediately greeted by friendly staff and we got to see the new layout of the interior. It was nice, and not long after opening, there were quite a few people already.We were greeted again by our server, who was kind and informative and we were thirsty so we opted for non-alcoholic cocktails because it was too early to drink, and we loved the selection. I had mango iced tea, and my wife had the pina colada. Both were refreshing. We then selected the calamari and the ahi nachos. Presentation was excellent for both and the ingredients were fresh. The calamari was light, but with generous chunks battered and fried. It wasn't chewy and the batter was light. The aoli was a perfect complement for the lightly seasoned batter. The nachos were beautiful! Fresh fruit and glaze made them a real treat. Perfect for two! We then chose to split a full rack of ribs. The ribs had a great rub/glaze and the texture was just how we like them, with a bit of resistance and chew, but easily pulled from the bone. At other locations, we have enjoyed the burgers, particularly the Wagyu, and the miso salmon dishes. The desserts are great as well although we opted to not have one this trip. Vancouver needed a reasonably priced dining experience on the water, and Oswego is it. This place will be a favorite for many in Vancouver and we can't wait to go back! read more
