During our day trip to Oxford we found this gem. It’s an hour drive for us but we will definitely make this one of our go to places. My husband had the lamb and I had the ribeye, both were outstanding. The horseradish deviled eggs were awesome as well. Service was unmatched, they really take care of their customers. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu items.

Oxford Oaks Distillery/Verdigris was absolutely amazing. The seven-ounce filet is perfectly seasoned, and I don't think I have ever eaten better broccoli. Think about that--when was the last time *broccoli* wowed you? Well, this broccoli impressed me. Our waitress was awesome and made sure we were kept abreast of gripping developments in the kitchen. We had the sea salt and caramel cheesecake, which I can highly recommend. Fabulous all around. Definitely worth the price.

This place is hit or miss. The small plates they have during May and June for quittin’ time have been great! I love their bartenders, albeit the cocktail menu isn’t suited to my tastes anymore. The menu looks good but sometimes the execution is not. The steaks are ok if pricey, generally cooked well, although the aged ribeye is underwhelming. I’ve had mixed results on the scallops being seared/seasoned well, the quail has been tough and the herb crust is not to my liking. I’ve also had the opportunity to join the restaurant for a special occasion brunch on Mother’s Day. The brunch was disappointing, especially for the price, and I would not consider going back to Oxford Oaks distillery for such an event. In all, the restaurant could perform more consistently, especially the kitchen. While they have changed their menu several times since opening, perhaps some continued refinement is needed.

Oxford Oaks is our go-to for Sunday brunch. The menu selections are creative and cover a wide spectrum of palates. The chef and kitchen staff are obviously melded together as a great team because the food is exceptionally savory and always the perfect temperature for the items. Moreover, the presentation for each plate is worthy of a picture. Their drinks are exquisite, with their Bloody Mary being my favorite. We have always had a 5-star experience at Oxford Oaks, otherwise we wouldn't drive nearly an hour to get there!
