We loved everything about Oak. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted as valued guests. Southern hospitality at its finest. The location is remote but in a very scenic setting. The decor is spot on for the mountain setting. The food was exceptional, and our server did everything possible to make our meal perfect.
We had the bread service, salmon entree and 8 Oz filet mignon. Everything was perfectly prepared. We also had the bacon mac and cheese and drunken shrooms. I'd recommend everything we tried. The only minor downside was the noise level. It's to be expected given that there are no soft surfaces to absorb sound. It is a small price to pay for the view from the large windows that surround the room.

We have eaten at The Oaks three times this month. Every meal was excellent. The salmon, steak, the trout--all good. Brussel sprouts were the best I have ever had. Highly recommend this place.

Attempted an anniversary dinner with reservation. At 40 minutes received bread service. At 70 minutes received entrees without order first course.
Staff was reasonable in asking “what could correct the situation” … but let’s be honest, you’ve doffed our anniversary, you can’t fix it. In fact, asking is an insult.
It’s poor service and it’s systemic if you can’t control your staff performance - we’ll never be at any of your restaurants again.
What you can can do, is figure out how to replicate our 20th anniversary. It can’t be done.

Highly recommend!! Great steaks (we had the filet mignon and it was truly outstanding with a great and nicely balanced charred rub). Desserts and fresh bread were also wonderful! Debra provided great service with impeccable timing. Thoroughly enjoyed our special night out and the half price wine bottles on Wednesday was an unexpected surprise🙂
Ok, adding to the review. Went back to Oak Steakhouse with my daughter and 5 mth old grandson. The meal was, again, outstanding! My daughter had the NY Strip and she raved about it! (It was next, indeed, level!). But, Rob deserves a shout out. He was so kind and attentive and making us all feel so comfortable even with the little guy seated in his clip-on seat it what was the best table in the house! This is truly a special place!! Thank you Oak Steakhouse and keep up the great work!
