About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
Oak and almond wood fuels our wood burning oven and stove. Imparting an earthy quality to many of our menu items, these hardwoods are at the heart of our restaurant's philosophy.

With cuisine inspired by the traditions & techniques of yesteryear, our philosophy is simple: provide delicious handcrafted food, created with well sourced seasonal ingredients with a focus on hearth & flame, Organic Farm to Table. We source the best artesian ingredients and prepare them simply with respect. The wine program highlights biodynamic and organic selections, which compliment the simple integrity of our menu.

An 18 foot communal table, crafted from local 100 year old oak floorboards anchors the dining room. Hand-rubbed walnut tables, industrial fixtures, and an open kitchen featuring a wood burning oven and stove provide a modern yet warm dining experience.

    This place was awful. Extremely disappointed. The hotel next door told me it was the “nicest” restaurant in town. The salmon was overcooked and made me sick for the rest of the night and the next day. Whatever grain/rice type mixture they had under the salmon was too hard to eat. The person with me had filet mignon and it was chewy. Ordered food to go for my business partner back at the hotel and they waited 30 minutes to come back and tell me the kitchen was closed. The waiter was not helpful. Me and my guest both felt ignored.

    Horrible service! I would have given 5 stars but… As a repeat customer and someone who enjoys this restaurant I didn’t want to ding it to hard. It was a birthday dinner and the service was horrendous. We waiting for everything and the resturant was at 20% capacity. We had to ask for everything from ordering, dirty dishes empty glass removal, water, drinks, dessert and the bill. We spent more time looking for staff than enjoying our dinner. We should get a credit or refund.

    This place is not what it used to be. Despite its size they packed people into a small space which made polite conversation impossible - we had to yell to make ourselves heard. The food was greasy and inconsistent. Same dish ordered by 2 people was cooked differently - why? Will not be returning… ever.

    I highly recommend this establishment for any celebration! We celebrated my daughter’s graduation and the food was delicious and well seasoned. The drinks were great and the wait staff were very attentive. We will return for future celebrations.

    Over the past few years, I have been to Oak & Almond for lunch, brunch, dinner and also company events. They always do an excellent job. Pricing is reasonable. Their food is fresh and delicious. The staff are professionals. It's also a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful ambiance. In the summer, you can book their outside area for events. I highly recommend it!
