    The atmosphere and design of the bar and dining area are very nice. The bartenders were friendly and made good drinks. Dinner was good but nothing great. I was expecting much more based on what I read about this place. One of my pet peeves is when a restaurant charges for bread service I mean, we're buying $80 steaks and sides are extra I would think the rolls would be complimentary! They were very tasty but still! Don't waste your time on the jumbo lump crab chips unless you like plain lump crabmeat on a wonton because they were flavorless. Our steaks were good, but again, for $80 I expected them to be great! I could have gotten this steak anywhere and probably paid less. All sides are ordered for the table, none of them really stood out, but were ok. The sticky toffee pudding was my favorite, but I would stay away from the giant slice of caramel cake, it was dry. Our server was wonderful, and very attentive. Overall, it was a decent meal, but for the price, you can definitely find better.

    The service was amazing. The waitress was on top of everything and super friendly. We were there for our anniversary and received a glass of bubbly when we sat down, and a dessert at the end of the meal. It was a nice surprise. We started off with bread service and oysters Rockefeller. They were both very good. They did not have the dry-aged ribeye, so we were disappointed in that. I have had better steaks, but the filet I ordered was fine. Overall it was a nice experience. I will go back and try the venison Wellington.

    I always come here to ear on vacation and this was the first time wmit was just an ok experience the waiters use to treat you to things and are more friendly it was just a whole different experience level this time it was not. Hopefully this is a one time issue when you pay 400 for two people you hope it's better.

    We had an amazing experience at Oak Steakhouse. Definitely the best food and wine experience that Highlands has to offer, but quite possibly the best we have enjoyed in some time. The service was impeccable and the general manager is hands on throughout the dining experience, overseeing all aspects. They were a well oiled machine on a busier Tuesday night. We will make a point to come back every time we are in the area and Oak Steakhouse should be at the very top of your list when visiting Highlands!
