   We had a pre-event dinner at the Oak Bistro, and were very happy with having tried them (it was our first time there). The cocktails were innovative and delicious (we had the Ipe Amarelo and the Marigold), and the goat cheese polenta cake and the scallops were perfect! Already making plans to go back!

   Birthday dinner with 9 people. A cute little birthday sign made it feel special from the jump. Amazing service, no hiccups all night. Drinks and food were all stellar. People were raving and talking about coming back to try even more of the menu. Great ambiance -- I'm afraid we were the loudest group -- and one fun bonus is that the tables have these little lamps that allow you to choose how much light you have. Yes, a bit pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.

   Excellent all around as always. Usually a go to on date night or grabbing a drink and light fare with friends. Tried it out with the whole family tonight, consistently deliver a great experience.

   I chose Oak Bistro to meet an important collegue. Online the reviews are of great food and great ambience and I wanted something a little more upscale than a diner. It would have been better to go to a diner. None of the food was bad, but it it had zero that was special about it and was surprsingly small in its portions. People seem to love it so you might too. But I can't see going back.

   I am in my early seventies and took my two sons , who are in their thirties, to this restaurant on a Saturday evening.It was much too noisy for my tastes (it was hard to hear each other).The food was good but not great!

   Not a great wine list, but other than that it was fine.

   The food was delicious. We had the short ribs croquettes, pear salad and scallops. The service was excellent. Highly recommend it!

   Went to dinner to celebrate a birthday and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We started with the fried burrata shared plate as settled in, had a glass of wine and decided our next course. The plate quickly disappeared...the fig jam and apricot marmalade went perfectly with the fried cheese. for dinner we enjoyed the burger, gnocchi, french dip and the pappardelle. All were great...everyone cleaned their plate! We ended with the orange chocolate bread pudding which was terrific. Audrey our server was wonderful and quite informative as we navigated our way through the menu.
