Yay- opened today!! I hope Shayne is putting his feet up about now- he has worked so hard and it shows! The plates went out of the kitchen with yummy, beautiful, and special food and went back to the kitchen practically licked cleaned. I think it is a good sign that the food is pretty awesome. Saw lots of great people today!

Oz is open this weekend- Saturday and Sunday 8:30 to 3:00. Stop by for breakfast, brunch or lunch - everyone needs to have their first day as an Oz regular!

cheers to the shayne gang!!

i had the breakfast pastry on opening morning and also took away one of each treat in the display case and everything rocked!!

i'm so glad the oz is in my hood and i can swing by on my way back from my errands - gonna have to go everyday till i eat everything on the menu!


you're gonna be very successful dude!

best wishes to you all!

I had lunch there with a friend on Saturday. WOW!! We walked in and were greeted by a very friendly staff at the front counter. I placed my order for the Oz Steak Pie and my friend ordered the Local Shrimp and Avocado Salad Rice Paper Wrap. The meal arrived and the presentation is clean and simple. My Pie came with a very generous portion of blanched green beans and a dressed field greens salad, as well as a mustard based BBQ sauce for the pie. I primarily used it as a dipping sauce for the green beans though. There of course, was nothing left on my plate save the bbq sauce container. It was excellent to say the least. One word of caution, the Pie is served "piping" hot from the oven, the roof of my mouth is evidence. Slice it open and enjoy the vegetable while it cools a bit.

My friend's meal was equally as great and I must take his word, as he was greedily unwilling to share.

Other Sowal friends came in as we were finishing and we stayed to chat a bit. Lucky for us, as we got to see the presentation of the Fried Egg Sanie with Smoked Gouda and Crispy Bacon on a house made roll. It is huge and they both said it was delicious, my next meal at A Taste Of Oz.

Get over there soon and enjoy it, as once word gets out, you will surely need to plan on waiting for a table.

Congratulations to Shayne, Kim, and the crew.

okay, johnr. I want what you had! I'm not sharing with anyone either.

See you tomorrow!!!
