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 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 server was just awful. We all felt like a massive inconvenience to her. When my husband was ordering she literally left before he was done ordering and when she walked away my husband and to yell the remainder of his order to her and she audibly sighed and rolled her eyes as her was finishing. They took our water carafe to fill it up and never brought it back, despite our asking for water. My sister ordered the carbonara and when she got it her food was cold and we didn’t even bother telling our server because anytime we needed her she just walked right past us. While we were still eating our server just comes and drops off to go boxes, when no one had even asked for them. It felt like we were being ushered out of the restaurant because again it felt like we were an inconvenience, the whole experience made us feel like we were just a problem to her and that is completely unprofessional. I want to preface this with my career was in the restaurant/hospitality industry where my job was to open new restaurants and train the staff at how to deliver the best experience, and I’m also someone who gives so much grace because working in a restaurant is incredibly difficult and can be hard depending on the type of guests you have, but from the start the restaurant was dead and I do know she got a large party but from the start she just did not care. The food was subpar and the service just lacked. There are a ton of restaurants in SLO, avoid this one unless you want cold food and made to feel like an inconvenience for a service that they are providing

Our meal was absolutely amazing. The Duroc pork chop looked like 2 big tomahawks. The 20 oz ribeye was cooked to perfection. Great dining experience . Can’t wait to return 😊
