    From the moment we entered the experience was sublime. Donnie took great care of us and we just about tried everything on the menu! Cocktails, I had the Korean Old Fashioned and it was a great start to our evening. The greatest surprise was seeing my daughter in the restaurant, I just arrived from NC! What are the chances?!? Thank you for hosting us and for making it such a memorable evening.

    Fantastic lunch with a dear friend who had never been to Oakleys! The shrimp corn dogs were amazing (as always). My artichoke goat cheese tart was absolutely delicious and my friend had the salmon pot pie which he said was phenomenal. We shared the lemon blueberry dessert which was the perfect ending to an amazing meal! Thank you Chef Steve and team! :-)
