OASES — Restaurant in New York

I came in for a Matcha and realized what a beautiful café this is!! There were no seats in a couple seats that they offer for people just having drinks. So I thought maybe I’ll have something to eat too. They sat me down.! The server was a lady and she was completely rude telling me I had to eat if I was sitting there. Said I’d love a menu She came back a couple minutes later and I wasn’t ready to order. I was just reading the menu . I decided I was gonna have an açai bowl, But the server disappeared maybe she was on break So about 20 minutes later, she came back, With a total rude arrogant attitude and told me I couldn’t sit here unless I ordered. I informed her that I was ready to order 20 minutes before, but she disappeared, at this point, I had drank Most of my Matcha. I wasn’t hungry any longer. She told me I couldn’t sit there any longer.. Her attitude was offensive and not kind. I told her I was just finishing and she grabbed my Matcha, Which had one sip in it left, And I told her I Was not done and she said it back down and laugh laughed at me and walked away. I then complain to the lovely lady behind the counter, who served me my Matcha and told her that the server was not nice to me and hurt my feelings by being completely rude. I think it’s a lovely Café, And I would love to come back, Except the server person Totally soured me on the whole experience. .. I don’t think I need to come back even though the Matcha was delicious. I would recommend not trying to sit down unless you’re ordering food. Or they may sweep you away With...

Oases was the most unbelievable place to host my baby shower. I’d said no to the entire idea of having a baby shower until I came upon Oases and spoke to the wonderful Pema about the venue. She and her team could not have been more responsive, creative, or welcoming. From the very beginning, Pema was thinking about lighting and arrangement that would work for us, and was even in communication with my best friends to plan a couple of surprises for me. And when we showed up, the venue was even BETTER than my expectations (which were high). Pema’s colleague Alex was our day-of contact and I’ve never been to an event with someone more attentive. He totally got the vision and was there seemingly at every moment with a mimosa (big shoutout to Enrique at the bar, who was also wonderful). The food was so good that every time one guest ordered something, the rest of us tried it and all ordered that for ourselves, too. We left extremely full and so happy. I’d host every future event at Oases. I am already trying to think of reasons...

I tried to call, but couldn’t get a response. I wanted to discreetly share my experience. I ate at the cafe on Saturday, Sept 14th and ordered the beet juice (which was bottled, which didn’t appear to be freshly made), fried egg, and the veggie wrap. The service was super slow likely because fairly new. An hour after leaving lunch, I was throwing up. I also read a similar post on the same day - which leads me to believe that there is something spoiled in the kitchen. The person with me had eggs as well and did not get sick, so don’t think it was the eggs. I think perhaps the juice. It was my first meal of the day, and I am very specific about what I eat. So - clearly something that I ate at this restaurant didn’t agree with me.

The ambiance and concept is quite nice, but really important to inspect your food and drink. I don’t think this was deliberate, but do believe it is something that you need to...
