This might have been one of the worst meals I have ever had. Was so overpriced for poor quality. Rib eye was 115$ Not cooked how we ordered and very tough. Would never go back and would never recommend to anyone. Disappointed this was one of the meals for my short time in Charleston.

Everything was fantastic with the exception of the king crab add on to my steak. $35 for a 6” section of crab leg is absurd

The food was incredible, but the wait time was crazy. We had a 5:00pm reservation, were the first table in the door, and ordered our food around 5:15-5:20. We didn't get our food until 6:30 and multiple tables around us were eating. Waiting an hour for food waa dissapointing.

This will always be one of my favorite restaurants. Sometimes a girl just needs a good steak! You will not find better anywhere. Even their sides are absolutely delicious. I recommend the roasted mushrooms and the asparagus! And to end a great meal perfectly, the best creme brulee you will ever taste! Wonderful service, nice energy, perfect restaurant. 5 stars!

Oysters Rockefeller were delicious. The filets were just so-so. They were very small (no way mine was 8 oz; it looked like the small tenderloin tip which is not what I ordered) It was cooked correctly on the inside (medium) but charred on the outside, which was very dry. I would look for a better steak elsewhere.

Staff was really nice and accommodating. We are gluten free and they had options. The NY strip that we paid $70 for was very chewy and not very flavorful. I've had better steaks at other places for a cheaper price, so for that reason we will not be going back. The sides were also very average for the cost. We got the mushrooms and brussel sprouts.

Was disappointed overall in the evening. Service was great, no fault there and although the restaurant was extremely busy we didn’t have to wait too long for our meal. It’s just very expensive for what you get. The king crab for example … I don’t even think there was more than 1 leg in a portion. Served on a small bed of spring lettuce for $45. The ribeye was $115 … it was fatty and cold. The carpaccio was lovely as were the Brussel sprouts. The scallops were gritty and overcooked but the rice was good($36 for 4 🤷‍♀️). I’d go back but only with someone else’s credit card.

We simply had a phenomenal dinner last night. Brody was spot on as our server and the food was outstanding. The setting is very inviting and from the first Tito’s martini all the way through the entrees and exceptional red wine, my wife and two daughters and I had a wonderful evening. Top 5 restaurant in Charleston (which I know is a bold statement!). Highly recommend Oak Steakhouse. Cheers.

The food was great but plan on waiting awhile for your steak to cook but the food was worth the wait! The steaks were fantastic along with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. It is a great place for dinner but a little loud if you want a quiet romantic dinner.

We had dined at Oak many times but COVID kept us away for near two years. We celebrated our 30th tonight and could not be more pleased. The food was perfect the Oyster Rockefellers are a must. strips were exactly medium rare and excellent. Alex kept us happy, he is a real asset to this very fine steakhouse. Thanks to all, Bob and Barbara

My husband and I have lived here for 15 years and have never experienced Oak...so we decided to make reservations for my birthday! We ordered cocktails, multiple appetizers, and a few steaks with sides (we were with friends). I ordered a filet mignon cooked medium. This is what came out. We kindly asked for it to be sent back and cooked a little longer…but it came right back out the exact same the second time. I snapped this picture when it came out again. It was still rare. Our bill was over $400 without tip - and I'm not complaining about it because we frequent Halls and other establishments at that price-point...but the server also seemed stressed or just not in the mood to serve us...we actually tipped them more and asked them not to take anything off of the bill because it wasn’t their fault...anyway, we/I was pretty bummed that the chef/cook(s) could care less about what the customer asks for…especially on my birthday. We love supporting local, but unfortunately, we will not be back to Oak.

The food as always was outstanding! The service was excellent. However, being that the only available reservation was at 5:15 when booked, we were disappointed to be seated at the table by the front door. The attorneys or groups that were gathered in the bar "area" were loud and often standing right up next to our table or leaning on the back of the banquette where my wife sat. That made the first 1/2 hour uncomfortable. Also, the table's finish was worn down and sticky. I expect better from our favorite Charleston restaurant and have never had any qualms in the past.

We were truly disappointed. The first oyster was rancid the waiter distracted and our main course arrived cold and 49 minutes after we had finished our appetizers. When we reported the bad oyster our waiter seemed unconcerned of course we paid for all of them and decided to leave without dessert. It was my birthday dinner we won’t make future reservations.

Overall disappointed with one dimensional menu options and poor service. The waiter Joel failed to offer us any insight into the daily special, craft beer selection or food prep. He told us the vegetable of the day was "whatever the chef has fresh". We had to wait for our reservation for 20 minutes which was made a month in advance.

Food was very good but pricy. Cappuccino was ordered to be very hot but arrived like warm and had to get it microwaved. For $7 we expect a better cappuccino and it should not be priced that high anyway.
