The service was exceptional. We were there with our one-year-old who can be a bit loud. We were able to sit outside which helped us feel less self-conscious when she turned it up a bit. We were made to feel very welcome, and the staff were really attentive. The food was excellent, and it was great to be able to try something different that other places don’t have. I would definitely recommend!

I'm a huge Oak City Meatball fan! My wife, less of a meatball fan in general. But even she walked away saying her food was great and she enjoyed the restaurant. I will say that it is on the individual to pick the right combination of meatball, sauce, and side, but it's hard to goof it up. Highly recommend!

Paid $80 for cheese curds, 6 meatballs, an order of Mac-n-cheese and 2 tiny cocktails. Def not a good value - could have gone to cafe Luna and paid the same amount to not feel like we were eating bar food crammed against the window beside the host station.

We had a great experience with our server, Carter. We walked in a few minutes before our reservation and were seated immediately. We had prompt and efficient service. Carter was polite and warm while being timely and unobtrusive. We had a gathering of 6 people and shared appetizers. He kept our orders and our billing accurate without correction. We were all quite impressed with the service and the food. The food was fantastic and exactly what we wanted. The experience was superb and we will definitely be back.
