I ate at Jambone today with my daughter, before soccer practice...

Funny thing, we sat down at the table, and there was a menu for OZ--- I wondered if there was some cross marketing going on there.

It looks like a great menu... best of luck.

had another great meal at the oz today.

pumpkin soup rocked and i also had the shrimp spring rolls - very nicely wrapped indonesian style in rice paper served chilled.

iced tea was lovely as was the beautiful service and the bright sunny patio!

there was a nice crowd as well and that was the best part - get out and support our newest south walton gem!

What does "Oz" mean?

Unusual name. I am thinking there must be a story. Menu looks fab!

The owner, Shayne, is Australian. "Oz" is the commonly used slang for Australia!:clap:

We had a great meal with Shane and the rest of the wonderful Oz staff on Sunday. The avocado /shrimp wraps as well as the chicken pie were big hits. The food is fresh, priced right and good portions.

We will be going again and again.

Good luck Shane

I'm thinking that I need some Oz food today - I can probably arrange my errands so I can just happen to be driving by at lunchtime!:biggrin:

Lots of people eating outside yesterday- it was a beautiful day!

My husband and I enjoyed breakfast at Oz on Tuesday. I wanted to try something different, and am glad we did! We couldn't decide between the egg sandwich and sausage pastie so we got both and split them...wonderful! My husband is brittish and quite the critic. The meal was the perfect size - not loaded down with a million sides that leave you bloated and sickly all day long. I am dying to go back for another sandwich - just need to get my behind out of bed early enough! I highly recomend this great new eatery - Keep up the great food!

I finally dragged Fuzz to Oz yesterday, along with our bailiff. Fuzz is game for anything, but we worried about the bailiff, as he is a peas & cornbread kind of guy (yum) and doesn't get very "adventuresome" with his meals. For example, no mexican, no oriental, etc...

He raved about the Steak Pie the rest of the day. :D As did I. And I forget what Fuzz had, but he definitely enjoyed it.

I am thinking there may be orders placed for carryout in a few hours...:cool:

Went for the first time today and all I can say is that I will be back and part of the riotous mob if they ever think of closing!

We had the Local Shrimp and Avacado Rice Paper Wrap and Turkey Pastrami Sandwich. YUM! The shrimp is cooked perfectly and a nice large portion. Whatever is in the sauce was fantastic. The sandwich was large enough for two people who aren't that hungry. This is now a definite must on our list.

One of my regrets leaving Sowal was that I didn't go back for the pumpkin soup, and the curried chicken pot pie I saw jdarg devour. If Shane ever decides to take off menu, even temporarily, someone pleeeease freeze some for me? (except Jdarg, because I do not trust her with anything pumpkin related ;-))

We are starting to cook the pancake/waffle breakfast for 12 girls- Kate's pretend slumber party birthday breakfast... I really wish I could load them in the car for an Oz breakfast!

Talk about total chaos - I like Shayne to much to do that to him!

Sounds great. I may come up there for lunch today. The parking situation is always so terrible though.
