Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Council Oak Cincinnati offers an inviting atmosphere with consistently "exceptional service" and delightful dishes like short rib and salmon. While some dishes exceeded expectations, others, like the oysters, fell short. Despite minor hiccups, diners often praise the staff, notably Katie and Karla, for enhancing the overall dining experience.

    Made a reservation for 6:45 and took 20 minutes to get seated. They were seating people before my party and forgot about us.

    The restaurant as a whole is very beautiful and well presented. Our waitress was super nice and personable. The person helping her was a bit rude. When someone accidentally called him Austin, instead of Justin, he stood there and ignored them for a few minutes then turned around and said, did you mean Justin? in a very rude tone. He knew everyone was speaking to him and he was standing inches away. Kind of started it off on a sour note. We started with the shrimp cocktail and oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were overloaded with spinach you couldn't taste oysters. The shrimp were pretty small and just like what you would find in the grocery store for shrimp cocktail. For our main course, the lamb chops were over peppered to a point you couldn't eat them. The potatoes with the short rib were cold when you bit in to them, and the Brussel sprouts also had a ton of pepper on them to the point you couldn't eat them. The whipped potatoes where good. Overall, this would be a skip for me. I would travel up the road to Ruby's or Ruth Chris if I am spending that kind of money. It was not horrible food, just not great for what you would expect when you spend $500.

    It’s all about Karla. Karla has been our Server for a few years now. She makes the entire experience EXTRAordinary.

    The food and service was really good except the raw oysters. We ordered a dozen west coast oysters and you could smell they were bad as soon as they put them on the table. It was obvious they were bad. I would expect more from a $$$$ restaurant.
