   Great atmosphere. Super great service. However menu was very limited, but very high dollar. Menu was actually too limited. Fish portions were also very small.

   It was a great time out with my wife and one of her friends. The ambience was great and really set the mode for a nice evening out on the town. The food was great and will surely return again to try something different on the menu.

   We celebrated a friend's 80th birthday and couldn't have been more pleased with the total dining experience. Ollie was our main waiter. He and his assistants did a really good job of getting us everything we wanted. The Turnbull cab was fantastic! Three of us ordered 8 oz. filets and they were perfectly cooked and delicious. The apps of shrimp cocktail and oysters Rockefeller were also really good. The sides of Brussel sprouts, potatoes, and mushrooms were the perfect compliment to our entrees. To complete the birthday celebration we ordered the cake and it was so good that it was devoured in no time. We hadn't been to Oak in a while but were very glad we chose it for this occasion.

    Our timing conveniently took advantage of Charlotte’s Restaurant Week so the value/menu selection was great. Our waiter, Kevin, was fantastic - very friendly, attentive, gave us space to enjoy our dining experience. We didn’t feel rushed and the timing between dishes was perfect. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, steaks were amazing! They were also happy to customize some of the dishes to our different tastes. The food, ambiance is always great and well worth the price for a special occasion, date, or business outing.

    We'd never been to Oak before and thought restaurant week would be a great time to try it out. Oak did not disappoint! Our steaks were cooked well and served on a bed of mashed potatoes with asparagus (I would've preferred broccoli or broccolini, but that's just me.) Dessert was a huge serving of chocolate cake, which was light as air despite its dense appearance. Our server was great in that he was attentive and left us to enjoy our meal and each other's company without constant interruptions. We've definitely put Oak on our list of favorite steak places and will return:)

    I went during restaurant week. So understandably, the quality can sometimes be diminished. The service was impeccable and our server was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. However, the food was lackluster and our steaks came out cold. The oysters Rockefeller was extremely salty, the butters we ordered with our steaks were cold and not melted. But it had a great ambiance for a date night and the staff was wonderful.

    We always go out with friends during Queens Feast Week. Some places we have been before weren’t on the list this time. I chose 3 and sent the names to my friends. We based our choice mainly on the food selections. We also considered distance from Rock Hill. My husband and I had Caesar salads and hot bread. We enjoyed it very much. The others had a wedge salad and the beef carpaccio. They asked for special things about the salad. The waitress was very accommodating. Three of us are steak people so we ordered the filet, potatoes and asparagus. My husband and I added a Bernaise sauce. All of them were exactly perfectly prepared steaks! The potatoes and asparagus were great too. My other friend got the Salmon. She was very pleased with her entree.

    Good, not great. Queen’s Feast menu was a good value with solid options. Shrimp cocktail was fantastic. Steak needed a little more seasoning and sides were served barely warm. Service could’ve been quicker to greet, clear plates, fill water, ask for refills on cocktails. 2 hour dining experience so we decided to take dessert to go. Also surprised that there was no manager touch, and I said hello & goodbye to the hosts before they did. Had a little higher expectations for fine dining, but still a decent experience.

    We had dinner here last night and the food was amazing. We ate at the Charleston location on our anniversary trip last year and my husband has been thinking of that steak ever since. We were so excited when we relocated to Charlotte and saw there was a location here as well. It stood up to my husband’s memory! We will be back.

    This was my 1st time at this restaurant. I enjoyed every moment! My meal was wonderful! My steak was made exactly like I wanted it. I had a Chocolate Cherry cocktail and it tasted great! I could taste the chocolate AND the cherry! I had cheesecake as dessert. I was also with great company. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I would definitely come back! What a wonderful experience!!

    Ok, let me start of by saying this was the first night of restaurant week. I have eaten at Oak before, but not recently, as we usually go to Del Friscos or Ruths Chris. First of, we ordered the Provision's board, which was as weak as I have ever seen, couple pieces of cheese, 2 wafers, some small grapes, a few chopped pickles, no way they were homemade, a few small slices of radishes, a pork rind, and a bit of mustard. Again, I get charcuterie boards at many places, and this was the weakest I have ever had placed in front of me. The wedge salad was small, more like 1/8 of a wedge, with very little blue cheese. Now to the worst part of the meal, the "14 oz" NY strip. My father-in-law and I both ordered this, Pittsburgh, medium rare & medium, with extra char. Well his was almost 1/3 larger than mine, had very little grizzle, and was perfectly done. My NY strip on the other hand, may have been 10oz tops, with 1/4 of the steak just grizzle. On the positive side, it was cooked correctly. Now I was tempering my expectations because I knew this was going to be no Del Frisco's $90 dry-aged NY strip, but I also was not expecting to be served a cut from food lion either. The dessert was, and I kid you not, a chocolate Pepperidge Farm piece of cake. Now it probably wasn't, but that is exactly what is seemed to be. It was not fresh, it was stale and cold, like it was just de-thawed. Now I know many of the restaurants offer great deals during this week to get people who would not normally be able to experience fine dining, the opportunity to do so, but if you are going to skimp on the quality of everything on this menu, please just don't participate in Queens feast. Now Del Frisco's has stopped participating, but when they were, just like Ruth's Chris still does, the quality you get during Queens feast is no different that any other time of the year! It will be a long time before I ever go back to Oak for a steak again

    While our service was truly spectacular and we felt welcomed and valued, the food was pretty mediocre especially for a meal that cost $100/person. The steak was dry and chewy, the French fries were a McDonald's cut, etc. I hope the great servers and staff find a job where they can honestly sell high quality food.

    I normally like this place but it has went down. I ordered a burger well done and it came out rare. So I sent it back and it still came back rare. I ended up taking the burger home to finish cooking it because they couldn’t get it right. My server saw it still wasn’t right and instead of doing anything about it he gave me the full bill. I will not be back.

    For the price, the quality was not good. Filet tips were charred on the outside edges. Truffle fries were good. Rolls looked and tasted like package rolls from the grocery store. Overall was not impressed and will not be going back.

    This restaurant tried to be fancy but was not. The food was NOT good. The drinks were not good. Way overpriced. My salad was a handful of spring mix with 3 pieces of steak. No other toppings. $30. Octopus had slime on it. Oysters Rockefeller was melted goo and slimy oysters. Do not recommend.
