   Great service. Meals: Arctic char delicious. Love the barley type risotto. Short rib ragu a little disappointing. Was expecting a red sauce. That would have improved the dish. Short rib croquettes were excellent. Presentation just perfection. Small wine pour. This could be improved.

   This was my first time at Oak Bistro for lunch, and it was amazing! I took my friend for a birthday lunch, and the restaurant made it very special with a "Happy Birthday" place card on the table and a delicious dessert.

   Great find for brunch! Mussels Frites and Short Rib Hash were both outstanding. Make a reservation.

   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.

   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.
