Outstanding experience. Staff was incredible. Super laid back vibe in a beautiful setting. 5 course tasting was the way to go. We added caviar and Brussels sprouts. Perfect for two people. Add the wine pairings too!

Was disappointed based on past reviews. Seated in a small side room that lacked any indication that this was intended to be a fine dining experience. Understaffed so the service was slow. Food was good but somewhat bland.

We wanted something special to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This gourmet experience was perfect. Every bite was a treat. Their estate wine is not up to the quality of the food--the only disappointment.

Absolutely delicious, and very good service. Sometimes a bit slow, but that's a factor of the busy season more than anything. I also forgot my purse, and they were prompt to message me about it. Absolutely worth it, can't wait to come back.

I picked First & Oak restaurant for a romantic dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The decor was nice. The service was excellent. Eliona (Food runner) was the cutest thing. She was so pleasant, always smiling and took the time to describe every dish in details. George, her dad, waited on us. Very professional yet friendly. The food presentation was great but the taste wasn’t as good as I expected. Overall, good experience.

Excellent food and impeccable service. Three and five course fixed price menu with several options. The bread was amazing with the avocado butter. The wait staff was superb. We stayed in the Mirabelle Inn where the restaurant was located. That made for a really nice evening. Don't miss this gem!
