    When you make a reservation at establishment like this, you expect the food to be good. It was. It was excellent. Now here are the small things. The ambience is outstanding. The server was extremely knowledgeable. Everything that we had came together like a symphony. The manager came to the table and offered us a glass of cava for our anniversary The price point equates to the quality of the food. From The service to the ambience this restaurant gets it and as a former restaurant owner, I appreciate the fact that they not only put out great food. They paid attention to all of the small details.

    We absolutely love dinning at the Oak Steakhouse! The staff are very friendly and attentive from setting us at a fabulous table for our date night. Drinks came quickly and they make a perfect French Martini! The oysters were great. We also ordered yummy cornbread with a taste of jalapeño. I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon with whipped potatoes and both were outstanding. We definitely will dine again! Thank-you!
