This is going to be a long review. I’ve been to Oskar countless times for a beer or two. Tonight I went out for a nice dinner after being humiliated by the security team at Oskar not once, but twice. A little back story; I attempted to get dinner at Oskar around a few months ago. I arrived there by car and asked for a parking spot (apparently there was one available; it is a street parking). A security guard asked if I could let him circle back to avoid causing traffic jams, so I accepted the request. Little did I know, he parked my car somewhere else without giving me a courtesy to ask or tell. Instead, the security team gave the spot to another customer who came later when he was circling back. I decidedly left the restaurant.

Tonight I thought I gave Oskar another shot. Luckily, there was two spots available, so I parked my car right out front. A couple minutes in, a guy came and asked for my key so that they could move my car. When asked where they were going to move my car to, he said just a tad forward; I handed him the key, but given my experience with the security team, I had to know where they were going to drive my car to.

I went outside to observe the situation, but got a chance to ask one of the security guards where they were going to move my car to. Not a surprise; he contradicted the guy that asked for car key, saying he was going to move it backward or to the other side of the street. When I asked why he couldn’t find another spot for the next customer, he said there was some space in the middle (I parked in front of a car which was there before I got there and another car that came after and parked in front of me with HUGE space left).

My question (to the security guard and to you, the management/owner of Oskar): why my car when you could have found another parking spot? Why move the car that parked in the middle of two other cars when you could just move one of two cars that were not in the middle? Is it because my car isn’t as expensive as the other cars?

I am taking this very personally. I was and still am offended by your security team’s behaviour.

Take it as a constructive feedback, or don’t!
