What a great hidden gem. The only thing that surprised us was that it wasn’t more crowded. Food was excellent, service was just right! The vibe was very good, sophisticated with an industrial edge. Loved the brickwork and a magnificent bar.

They weren’t even offering service at the time of our reservation and said it was a mistake so I had to ask them not to charge us. They were only open as a bar and said there was no brunch available despite it being listed on open table as a spot. We drove up from San Diego and this was our first stop so huge bummer it wasn’t open.

Finally made it over to Oak Grill to try their Happy Hour. Service was excellent, prices were solid, fries delicious, and both shrimp ceviche & crab roll were good. Thank you!

A group of 7 of us had brunch here recently and found it to be a wonderful experience. All of us thought our entrees were wonderful. Several of us ordered eggs Benedict, one classic and two veggie variations. We all ordered the eggs to be poached medium and were perfectly done. The hollandaise sauce was also delightful and the presentation lovely. One of the best eggs Benedict I’ve had. The fresh fruit side was a bowl of strawberries and blackberries, which was a nice complement. Note that the automatic gratuity for the group was set at only 10%, which we all increased, kinda unfair to the wait staff. Regardless, we will be back.

Oak Grill was so good! Honestly better than I even expected. every single thing we ordered was insanely good. the chef back there really knows what he’s doing. Not cheap, but what is anymore? I got a pressed juice made from golden beets and pineapple that was INSANELY good. the breakfast sandwich was delicious and the beignets were to die for. I want to go back back for dinner and see what they have to offer. our server was also great & so sweet!

Went for Mother’s Day brunch. Waiter and time to get food were subpar and took over an hour to get food from kitchen and restaurant was only 3/4 full! Never refilled water during the entire hour wait or check to get addditional beverages. Food was above average and good!
The Oak GrillResponded on June 10, 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry we fell short during your Mother’s Day visit. Waiting over an hour for food without check-ins or water refills is unacceptable, and we completely understand your frustration. We’re currently addressing these service gaps with our team to ensure this doesn’t happen again—especially on special occasions when expectations (rightfully) run high. While we’re glad you enjoyed the food, we know the experience as a whole matters most. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to make it right. -Alex Aviles Director of Food & Beverage

The reason for noise level was there was a wedding group of about 40 people and with all of them talking it was hard for us to have a conversation. Of course this is not going to happen every night. We will go back though, the food was excellent and service excellent also.
The Oak GrillResponded on June 10, 2025
Thank you for your understanding regarding the noise from the wedding party. We’re glad it didn’t overshadow your experience and that you enjoyed the excellent food and service. We look forward to welcoming you back for a quieter and just as enjoyable visit soon! -Alex Aviles Director of Food and Beverage
