  The first time we dined there for my birthday and had such a nice experience that we went back for our anniversary. Shortly after we arrived they brought us a card signed by the staff and a thoughtful gift! Our waiter was excellent, knowledgeable, attentive and interesting to talk with. The oysters were delicious. Especially the sauce they’re served with! I’d go back just for the oysters actually! The manager made his rounds ensuring everyone was satisfied and had what they needed. He had several signature dishes of his own creation! They brought us a delectable dessert on the house to celebrate with us. My husband wasn’t impressed with the mac and cheese and my fish was a bit bland but I’d go back for a special occasion.

  We didn't have reservations but they were able to seat us since we came in early. Upscale restaurant on the 6th floor of a hotel with an express elevator dedicated to the restaurant. Exceptional food and service. Steak was absolutely perfect.

  Overall we had a great experience at Oak. The great things: service by Josh, pork belly appetizer and Cajun shrimp (spectacular), French fries cooked in tallow. The so-so’s: Parker house rolls, salad, and dining room atmosphere (sorry). The table layout of the dining room lacks intimacy . The only booths are in the bar and that makes it loud. The open room makes every movement have stage presence, so for me personally I just didn’t love that. Some partitions and potted plants could help create a more relaxed atmosphere that matches the service experience. Overall we had a good to great experience.

  Literally the best meal of my life! From the moment we sat down, our table was treated like royalty. The service was impeccable from start to finish, and a huge shoutout to Olivia, who took such incredible care of us and made the entire experience feel truly special. But the food… absolutely out of this world. Every single bite was thoughtfully prepared, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor—from the appetizers, to the steak, to the incredible savory desserts and expertly crafted cocktails. There wasn’t a single thing we tried that didn’t impress us. Oak Steakhouse, thank you for an unforgettable dining experience. You exceeded every expectation, and we are already looking forward to coming back! 🥩

  The food is the only thing that generally keeps us coming back, but I've had underwhelming service more than not, which is unacceptable for a $300-$400 meal. 1st of all, don't expect anything for your birthday. When you make a reservation, they ask you if you're celebrating anything, then the host acknowledges your bday when you check in, and nothing after that. We went to a steakhouse in Chicago that asked if we were celebrating anything and we said off-the-cuff: "A New Job" (we had just gotten a good news email), and the server was genuinely happy for us, and at the end of the meal brought a sparkling candle torch through the dark restaurant with a giant slice of rich chocolate cake and "Congratulations" written on the plate. At the very least give me a cupcake with a candle. That was after they opened, and I wasn't impressed enough to go back ever again. I will give it to them that it's one of the better steaks in the area, and the Brussels Sprouts are better than Ruth's Chris, so my boyfriend wants to go back a couple times a year. We've had a couple "okay at best" not-negative experiences, so we kept Oak at the top of the list because Northwest Arkansas in-general needs to Up their Service game, so even Oak's mediocre performance is best-in-class around here. Our last meal at Oak started strong. We engaged our server in a conversation about Oysters, but only one person at the table wanted oysters and nobody would share - our server's attentiveness was Above-and-beyond as he surprised us with One Oyster Rockefeller, and almost redeemed any past negative experience I'd had at the restaurant. He came out strong and set the bar too high, though, as it was all downhill from there. They put the truffle butter on the wrong $80 steak. The amateur that came out to "Torch the butter" still left the table with hard/cold mounds of unmelted butter on top of the steaks. The $20 Asparagus side was a joke - they were scraggly little pieces that they tried to overcompensate by not cutting enough of the unusable stem off, to make the asparagus appear larger, so half the plate of asparagus was the un-chewable fibrous garbage. After very nicely calling-out the steak mistake (not as a complaint, but as a quality control notification for a kitchen serving "premium" food that probably shouldn't be amateur-hour), we thought maybe a final redemption dessert or something may be in-order. Nope, just an inaccurately-split check that we had them re-split that they still messed up. I will give the Steak Prep to Oak (make sure they put the right toppings on the right steak) but for a $300+ meal in Uptown serving Pinnacle and Executives, service-wise: Do Better.
