About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Symbolism of Oak: Strength, Growth, Endurance
Symbolism of Rowan: Power, Vision, Mystery

These attributes struck a chord with Restaurateur Nancy Batista Caswell when she discovered 321 A St. Oak + Rowan, a 150-seat restaurant nestled in Boston’s historic Fort Point Channel, reminded Caswell of the lofty tree tops and youthful excitement of a tree house. The menu celebrates all things land + sea; with an emphasis on prime steak, locally sourced fish and oysters, sustainable caviar, handmade pasta and alluring desserts. All of this is executed to tell the story of our farmers, artisans, foragers and winemakers in a very personal way. We invite you to dine with us in a space embellished with distinct lighting, a sleek 22-seat bar and 2 private dining rooms, all secure under lofty ceilings reminiscent of those childhood tree houses. Our commitment at Oak + Rowan is to provide a atmosphere unlike no other, just as if we invited you into our home.

We are heartbroken that Oak & Rowan is closing. Every single time we went to this establishment it was an amazing experience. The General Manager, Cassie is outstanding and and always remembered us and made sure we had a wonderful experience. All the wait staff, bartenders, and kitchen staff were friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel like family. Oak and Rowan will be missed. People should check out their sister restaurant in Newburyport, Brine.

Outstanding food, soft but lively atmosphere. Accommodating staff was able to get us seated early. We enjoyed the oysters, octopus, beef tartar, duck tortellini, and the Rohan Duck. Dessert was amazing, something with rhubarb. Only thing that was not as I expected were the pickles. No biggie. Great place would highly recommend.

Food: This place focuses on food. Its creative and the menu is full of items that I would not be able to create at home. Service: our server was truly amazing. Extremely engaging is a very positive way. helped to navigate a couple annoying allergies that I have. Truly over the top. Drinks: The cocktails were pretty awesome too. Helpfully listed by primary alcohol. Overall: A great experience.

Delicious food, excellent service with great recs for both food and wine pairing. Really liked the decor and vibe, noise level was equivalent to a typical dinner party, not at all intrusive to our table’s conversation. Presentation was visually appealing and the menu innovative (oysters with lemongrass and lime mignonette!). Will definitely come back.

Our party of six ordered very nearly everything on the menu - every dish was well conceived and well executed. There is an interesting mix of dishes, an excellent bar and a very knowledgeable wine waiter/som.

The food at Oak and Rowan is among my favorite in Boston - I've been half a dozen times, and it's consistently amazing. The rotating menu means that there's always something new to try as well!
