The Word on Oca, Waterside, Sale



Oca was one of our favourite restaurants for a number of years and we (Husband, Son and I) particularly enjoyed it as was child friendly. We were a little put off a year or so ago when we thought the service was getting a little rough around the edges, meals forgotten, orders mistaken, incorrect billing. We found another similar restaurant in Chorlton and we were lured away. Tonight at 6pm, however, we returned. The food was good, lots of families which our son was very happy about, the service was quick and efficient and the staff friendly. I had a glass of wine to relax and ordered a Pinot Grigio as I remember the house wine being a bit less than ok. The Pinot i'm afraid was, I am fairly sure, not a pinot. Now I'm no connoisseur but a Pinot Grigio is pretty much the only white wine I'll happily drink. This one was either not a Pinot, sat for too long in the fridge or was watered down, it had no bite at all. I didn't complain as I feel it spoils my evening if I do, so I drank it. The only other thing that bothered me was the volume of the music, loud to be exact. I realised how loud when I was raising my voice and mouthing words to my husband across the table and when my son asked my husband if he 'fancied a dance'!!!!

I did fancy a dance as the music was great.

I'll go back for another visit as the food is lovely and the service was good, maybe at a different time and without child just to see if time of the evening makes a difference.


I'd give this visit a 6W and hope that my next visit gets a higher rating.


Been to Oca recently? What experience did you have?
