5 /5 Hannah Zerbo: OAK has such amazing food and service! My friends and I love going on Thursday’s for Trivia, the manager Colin provides a great atmosphere and is really attentive. All of the servers I’ve had have been great, especially Tabitha who always provides a fantastic dining experience! I love their brunch menu and happy hour.

5 /5 jason molidor: Solid regular american food with a great self service beer wall. Was hear during the fest. They have some health options, plenty of beer and t.v.s with sports. You can’t go wrong. The patio has heaters and fans to keep the outside seating going all year. Staff was super pleasant and food was quick and delicious.

5 /5 Max Vitamin Sea: This place blew me away from start to finish. Even though there was a short wait, the host let us know it would be about 30 minutes, and we were seated even sooner. Our server Tabitha greeted us with waters right away and took our drink orders both the smoked old fashioned and the gimlet were outstanding. The whipped feta appetizer was creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For my entrée, I had the salmon, cooked to perfection, with tender broccolini on the side. The whole experience was tied together by the inviting atmosphere, complete with a southern-inspired design and a fun beer wall. Between the food, drinks, and vibe, this is a place I’ll definitely be returning to
