Had lunch here (The Red Sun) today w/my wife...interesting menu, great-looking wood fired pizza. Had a glass of Chilean carmeniere & the wood fired chicken sandwich; wife had the house salad & crab cake, all of which was very tasty...crab cake was one of the best. Service was excellent (Chad). Would come again in a heartbeat to try the dinner menu. A gem in the heart of Oswego. Review Part 2: my wife and I returned to the Red Sun the same night for dinner, and they did not disappoint. Our server, again Chad, was very helpful--knowledgeable about the menu and the wines, which is to me the hallmark of a terrific server. We started with a $12 bottle of house wine, which was a special going on that night and which is a terrific idea. We then chose the mussels as an appetizer, which were very tasty and well-cooked with a delicious broth & went well with the red house wine suggested by Chad. While enjoying the mussels and their broth, Chad brought over a plate of their fresh-baked bread to soak up the broth...he read my mind. For our entrees, I ordered the spicy ground lamb/pasta special and my wife had the tandoori tofu entree. Both were excellent and very flavorful. One of the highlights of the evening was being able to watch the cook staff prepare each dish ("plating it up" as they say) as if that one dish was the only one they were preparing that night. My wife & I commented to each other that the intensity of focus on making sure each dish looked as good as it probably tasted before calling the server for pickup was engrossing to watch, rivaling anything on the Food Network. In any event, the lunch and dinner we had at the Red Sun was memorable on many levels...not just the great food. Great atmosphere & decor. It seems obvious that the owners really care about the food they put out. For those inclined, the restaurant has tables with a commanding view of the Oswego River roaring by. Make sure you ask for Chad when looking for a table or making reservations. Bear in mind that the Red Sun's bar only serves wine and beers--no liquor--but you will want to go there for the food and the food prep show, if you're lucky enough to be seated near the bar and kitchen/wood fire oven area. They also make all their own baked goods. Oh, I almost forgot...they also make wood-oven fired pizzas; we ordered a margherita pizza to take home to have the next day for lunch. Even reheated it was really good. So, end of story: try the Red Sun...you'll be glad you did.

Very nice if you're looking for a diner-like atmosphere. Booth seating. I won't come again when I'm looking for a cafe atmosphere.

Try the pilgrim sub was very good. Their desserts were very good.

Amazing in sandwich form! Great employees and atmosphere! The food is out of this world! One of the great places where the owner and employees actually put effort in both quality and presentation. There is a restaurant here now. It's called The Red Sun, and it is also Amazing! If I had to make one request, it would be to ask them to create an area in the back where they could set up a piano or small band area. It would be cool to eat while listening to lounge music or mello jazz. :)

Green Mountain Coffee, fresh pastries, and a unique menu that let's you be traditional or branch out for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
