About

“Welcome to Bistro 197!  Established in 2011, we are a from-scratch eatery focused on elevated comfort food. An upscale but casual restaurant, bistro provides a dining experience of progressive American cuisine paired with great wine selections and the best craft cocktail scene in the area. Located in the historic downtown block of Canal Commons in Oswego, we provide a fun, upbeat, yet elegant evening of chef-made food and inspired spirits to pair with great company.  Offering weekly live music and seasonally shifting menus, bistro is the social hub of the local downtown nightlife.

Bistro prides itself on a leisurely, unrushed dining and drinking experience. We invite you and yours to come and share with us a great dinner from start to dessert.

Cheers and Good Eats,

Bill, Sean, and the rest of the bistro team.”
