The Bistro of Oakwood

We visited this restaurant on New Year’s Eve, and there were 12 of us. I made the reservation about 2 weeks in advance, and the lounge area was available, not the main dining area. We had excellent food, not excellent service. I got champagne chicken, and it was very good! The ranch dressing for the salad was great, too. The service was rather slow. It got better, but in the beginning it took a while to get our drinks. We waited too long for salads, and the meal took a good while to arrive as well. The atmosphere was enjoyable and the prices seemed fair. Expect to spend about 15 – 25 on a meal such as chicken or steak. There was a good range of appetizers. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this establishment.

Unbelievable service backed up by fabulous food!
Everyone, from the bartender to the busboy, made sure we had a great experience. Had the strip steak au poivre. Another member of the group had the pork chops. Terrific! So, was Kristen, our server.
We will be back!

There is a lot to like about this restaurant! First, the décor is stunning. It’s warm and friendly. Our server Sam was excellent. There’s so many good things to try on this menu I didn’t know where to start. I had the scallops with red pepper risotto. Both were very good. Scallops done just right. Salad dressings tasted homemade. My daughter had Mac n cheese. She said it was rich and delicious. We shared a dessert. The choc chip cookie with ice cream. Pretty good as well. I plan on going back soon to try a chicken dish and the choc truffles for dessert. Our food came out quick, Sam was a great server. Really nice atmosphere. This may be a new favorite place for me!

Just went here over weekend with my kids. Service was fast, and friendly.
Food was great! Will be back soon.

Excellent service and food. I had the lump crab cakes with salad and bacon Mac n cheese as the side. I like my crab cakes a little firmer but they was still good the bacon Mac n cheese was to die for. My gf Athens the filet and it was melt in your mouth delicious. All in all good food and excellent service!

This is one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! We started with the goat cheese bruscetta appetizer (pretty good), hubs got the half slab of ribs (no knife needed!) and red pepper risotto (yum!), and I got the almond chicken salad (good serving, hot chicken w/​cold salad, loved the poppyseed dressing) and a side of the mac and cheese (UNBELIEVABLE!). Service was wonderful — seemed very team-​oriented with multiple people seeing our needs were met. The prices were not as high as I was expecting. I actually forgot my mac & cheese leftovers (the HORROR!) and someone ran them out to me in the parking lot. Great all around, we’ll definitely be back!

Great food at great prices. Roasted red pepper risotto is a must get. Scallops, bruschetta, shrimp & feta were wonderful as well. Great addition to the middlebranch area!

Wow. What a nice surprise. Nice atmosphere, good food, good wine list, fair price. They must have a very good chef– no indigestion from too much fat or questionable practices. We will be back,

To respond to Jon’s comment, actually I stopped in the restaurant right when it opened to make reservations for the wknd & pick up a to go order, I had a few minutes to wait so I snapped a few pics. So no Jon there was no one at the bar because I basically walked in as soon as they unlocked the door. Glad to see that you are such a «know it all» regarding what other people comment.

I ordered the Italian Sausage Pasta. Everything was very good! Service was good also.

The food and the service was terrific, I had the pork chop and my wife had the toasted almond chicken with gouda and mac and cheese. Dishes were cooked very well. The wine list is adequate. We enjoyed a bottle of pouilly fuisse. Overall things were great we will be back

Tremendous food and atmosphere. I had a great time and I really enjoyed my rack of lamb. Cooked perfectly! The staff was kind and courteous. The cocktails were wonderful and the desert was fantastic. I had the Crème Brule Cheesecake and I couldn’t stop eating it. I would recommend this to all of my friends. I can’t wait to go back.
