Thanks!

I just called and got reservations. I told her that when I called, 60 days out (would have been in April) I was told it wouldn't open until July. She told me the opening date changed.
I'm happy I got ressies at my favorite place and can't wait to see it!

I'm glad you guys were able to get your reservations. I'm waiting to find out the size of our party and then I'll make ours. I can't wait, I think the last time I ate there was July of 2010.

I don't think Oscar is retired (but maybe?)

He has been spotted by yours truly at the Jolly Holiday Bakery a few times.

Oh well I'm sure I'll find something equally as bad for me as a new favorite A visit with Oscar is worth any menu change
