Oak and almond wood fuels our wood burning oven and stove. Imparting an earthy quality to many of our menu items, these hardwoods are at the heart of our restaurant's philosophy.

With cuisine inspired by the traditions & techniques of yesteryear, our philosophy is simple: provide delicious handcrafted food, created with well sourced seasonal ingredients with a focus on hearth & flame, Organic Farm to Table. We source the best artesian ingredients and prepare them simply with respect. The wine program highlights biodynamic and organic selections, which compliment the simple integrity of our menu.

An 18 foot communal table, crafted from local 100 year old oak floorboards anchors the dining room. Hand-rubbed walnut tables, industrial fixtures, and an open kitchen featuring a wood burning oven and stove provide a modern yet warm dining experience.

We went for a birthday brunch. The service was very good, the food was delicious. My dessert was brought out with a candle and two singing waiters. The dessert was scrumptious.

Great CT staple for the past 10+ years. Food is good quality. The place can get a bit loud because of the size - the owners should consider installing sound dampening wall and ceiling tiles.

We had a wonderful "three-generation" meal at Oak and Almond last Friday night. We were in town for a family event and were very happy to be able to gather at Oak and Almond. The food was terrific, great service, wonderful ambiance. Thank you so much!

Great restaurant. We go there often as it is very close to work. You can never go wrong with Oak & Almond. 3 of us had the Beet salad with Grilled Salmon which was cooked perfectly. Another colleague had the Chicken Milanese and loved it. The coffee was great too. Not weak and not too strong. The staff is very friendly. Thank you
