Best Steakhouses in The Gulch & North Gulch

Just a grand evening celebrating our son’s birthday. Started with a Music City roll. Excellent. Then salads and steaks. Piano music was a great background. A bit pricey, but I’m sure that is standard for downtown Nashville.

We absolutely enjoyed our experience here. We will definitely be back again.

Great food, but expensive. Be prepared to spend $400 for 2 drinks each, 2 entrees, and 2 sides

Our server, Ray, was spectacular - if six stars was an option, that is what we would choose. The food was great! The Farmer's tableside salad was a great start after appetizers - we had the tuna and it was exceptional. Another member of our party had crab legs which were deemed very good. The halibut entree was even better - you don't often see halibut steak but that is what they serve and it was fabulous. and the lamb chops were some of the best in town. And the rolls - don't pass on them. So good. We also ordered the honeynut squash and the potatoes. Both were excellent sides. The sommelier was knowledgeable and recommended the perfect wine to accompany our meal choices. The apple dessert was a winner! Sadly, the menu option for one of the fish dishes and what was offered were very different - a salt crusted black bass, which is what two of our party wanted, was not available and being replaced with red snapper. However, we were not told that the presentation would change. The snapper was a good, but unappealing-looking piece of fish, served skin side up on a very large, otherwise empty plate - and the skin was not crisped. Even adding the citrusy sauce didn't change it's plate appeal. When you are anticipating a dish you don't usually make at home (salt-crusted fish) and get an anemic-looking piece of snapper, it was a bit of a let down. We enjoyed our experience and will be back.

Great experience with great food and atmosphere as always and Robert was amazing with his great service. Oak Steakhouse is a place you can count on consistently.
