Service was solid. For sure what you would expect if you have dined at Oak or any of their sister restaurants. Drinks were delicious. Salad ok, bread service was a highlight. Had the oysters as an app. The the filet medium rare with truffle fries as a side. Fries were amazing, steak was extremely disappointing. It was cold - and zero taste. Not cold because we ordered MR - cold as if it had sat for a bit before arriving at our table. Ended the evening with a blood orange sorbet. Which may have been the best part of the entire meal. Great atmosphere.

The service was fantastic and so was the food. We got the oysters Rockefeller, Caesar salad, trout, and filet. Topped it off with those fabulous mashed potatoes and the yummy sautéed mushrooms. Also, the espresso martini was one of the best I have ever had!

Everything and everyone exceeded our expectations- from our espresso martini upon arrival to every course of dinner, appetizers through dessert, we were treated like royalty and felt like the food was prepared for such. Would definitely recommend and dine here again. The spectacular views cannot be missed.

We stayed at the Skyline Lodge for my 50th birthday and ate dinner at the Oak. It was nothing short of amazing. Our waitress, Leica, was attentive and wonderful. They brought champagne and a delicious appetizer for my birthday. The steak was unmatched- one of the best we’ve ever had. Don’t hesitate to book a dinner here! We’ll be back as soon as we can!

We had a Wonder very Tasty Dinner the other night! Food was delicious but had to pass on the Steaks due to cost. We found the steak prices extremely expensive though I’m sure the meat was delicious. We will continue coming for other items besides steaks had a very pleasant experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed the setting, the space, the food, the wine, the service, the overall vibe. I’ll wait and give it five stars the next time we go, and we will go again! Really cool historical mid-century property painstakingly brought into the 2020’s. Base your Highlands stay at the Skyline, or pay a visit and enjoy a great meal at the Oak Steakhouse if you’re in the area, you don’t want to miss this unique property.

This was our first time visiting Oak Steakhouse. We had high expectations based on recommendations from friends. We were very pleased. The food was outstanding and the service was even better. Our server was Brianna and even though the restaurant was exceptionally busy, she did a fabulous job. The steaks are pricey - the least expensive steak is $59 for an 8 oz filet mignon, and that is before you add a salad or side item - however, there was about a dozen or so other entrees that were under $50 and we both found something that sounded good in that category. The food was outstanding. After having a less expensive entree and being blown away by how good it was, I felt more confident that the steaks are probably good enough to be worthy of their price tag. You’ll definitely need a reservation. We went on a Friday night and the reservation window was from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. When we left the restaurant, it was 9:30 and they were still seating walk-ins. So it is clearly a very high demand restaurant. Highly recommend based on our first visit.
