Five stars based on ... service. Our waitress Geeivinna (totally ruined this spelling) was outstanding. Frankly you dont receive the level of true, quality service as you will with this professional. Also our first table was near a packed full of people in the gorgeous party room. We just didn't feel comfy having a warm exchange with all 6 people, and did not want to compete with them in terms of noise, etc. I asked to be moved and the gentleman whom I chatted with took good care of that. Thank you sir! Get this... about 3/4 of the way into our dinner a waiter approached us. He thanked us for coming back. He was our waiter from our brunch, going back to.... Fathers Day. It blew our minds! This restaurant knows quality and memorable service. Drinks were very good. Food....well the steak folks found filets to be a bit less in quality, some veiny and fatty parts. Sides were ok. Desserts... started out blah but we got taken care of. One little thing that bugged me the most... on a few occasions my chair would roll away from the table. Sounds crazy but it happened. Oh and to the young guy who brought our salads out, take him back for training. His salad delivery was not good.
This place is great. Smells like leather. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Food is excellent, We had scallops and pork ravioli for an app, and shared the mixed grill for an entree. Just enough food for 2 people. Creme Brulee cheesecake is amazing. You can bring your own wine. Our server Bruce was great. Very attentive. Highly recommend for any occasion!
Emily Parry made for a wonderful evening because of her service. Oysters Rockefeller were outstanding in particular. Pork shoulder confit was on point. Steak tartar was good enough to have as a meal by itself. Side note - Old Overholt whiskey is misspelled on the whiskey list as "Old Overhault". The cinnamon coffee cake as a parting gift was a special treat on the way out. Thank you for a great evening of food and drink.
The meal was good and the service was even better. For only being open three days everything seemed to be running very smoothly. We started in the bar for a cocktail and the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. I think my wife will have me making Carolina Summers at home now. We had an assortment of appetizers and enjoyed them all. The ribeye we had as the main course was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. It is hard to find great service these days and that alone will bring us back. Job well done Oak!

Food was very good. Wait staff was on top of everything and everyone enjoyed their dinners. Would definitely recommend.
Fabulous! A great addition to the neighborhood! I went on their first Sunday they offered brunch and was blown away, not only by the great selection of dishes but the superb service as well. They offer not one, but TWO different types of Mimosas, a great wine and cocktail list, scratch-made-still-warm-and-melty perfect Chocolate Banana Bread to die for, and countless other sweet and savory goodness. Run, don't walk to Oak next Sunday! 5-stars all the way
One of the best experiences in my life! Amazing service, heavenly food in one of the best places in the city! Definitely a must visit!
First time. Rich made our experience phenomenal!!!!! I can't express to you enough how awesome the service was. I had the dry aged, Angus cut bone in Ribeye with brussel sprouts, followed by the cheesecake.
I also had a barrage of cocktails that were delicious. Rich answered all of my questions, and was quite the conversationalist.
Do yourself a favor and go there!!!!
While visiting my friends living in Charlotte, one of which being an employee of the restaurant group, brought me to the bar for what started off as just dessert and cocktails. After seeing the beautifully crafted menu we let the bartender guide our way through many of the appetizers, entrees, sides, and ending with (where our intentions began ) 2 amazing desserts. This was hands down the best meal and service I've had in Charlotte, yet another amazing addition to the Indigo Road Group.
Nice wine selection and service was very knowledgeable. Steaks were great quality and the Brussel Sprouts need to be ordered every meal! Having experienced this restaurant in Atlanta, it is a great addition to the Charlotte menu. Cheers!
Excellent service, food, easy to get in and out. This place might have become my new favorite!
Had our Christmas party at the Oak, and it was awesome. Had a good-sized party attend. The service for the size of our party was awesome. Everyone was very attentive for anything we needed. Huge selection of wine and bar options. The food was great. All the appetizers were perfect, as was the main course, which was a New York strip. Great experience, was much appreciated.
Checking in was extremely easy. We were 5 minutes late but it was not an issue. We were placed in a quaint area perfect for one on one date. The waiter Richard was extremely attentive and explained the menu and specials well. Appetizers and entrees came out right on time and temperature of the food was excellent. Really enjoyed the experience and look forward to dining again soon.
Spent our second anniversary here and it was fabulous! The food was great but a large part of the experience was our server/bartender Sam. So friendly and personable. The entire team was so sweet wishing us a happy anniversary. Couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate!
What a lovely establishment! Best of both worlds with a relaxed atmosphere and fine dining. While the oysters were not plentiful(4) and small, they were still good and plated well. Maybe add an option for a double order to share? I did enjoy the family-style side option with brussel sprouts(spectacularly made and tasty), garlic mash, and asparagus. They have a variety of cuts/types of steaks which look great. I opted for the lamb chops which did not disappoint; the best, cooked to order and seasoned perfectly! Overall, a great experience from food, service, and drinks.
Thank you for making my birthday so special. 10/10 experience and the food was absolutely phenomenal. As soon as I sat down I was given a birthday card with birthday wishes from the staff which was a first time for me! My bf and I were given complimentary champagne and bone marrow alongside some coffee cake to go. I can’t wait to come back!❤️
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Oak Steakhouse in Charlotte, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional, and I am still savoring the flavors of one of the best meals I've ever had.
Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately impressed by the warm and inviting ambiance. The decor exudes sophistication and elegance while maintaining a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. The attentive and friendly staff welcomed me with genuine smiles and made me feel right at home.
Now, let's talk about the food! The menu at Oak Steakhouse is a true celebration of culinary artistry. As a food enthusiast, I appreciate restaurants that pay meticulous attention to detail, and Oak Steakhouse delivered beyond my expectations. The chef's dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients was evident in every dish.
For starters, the fresh seafood tower was an absolute showstopper. The selection of oysters and shrimp was impeccably fresh, accompanied by zesty sauces that perfectly complemented the delicate flavors of the seafood.
The marrow was beautifully roasted to perfection, creating a rich, buttery essence that melted in my mouth. The accompanying accouterments, including a tangy gremolata and toasted baguette slices, added a delightful contrast to the dish. It was a sublime introduction to the exquisite fare that awaited.
Next up was the peach salad, which was a refreshing medley of summer's finest flavors. The juicy, ripe peaches were combined with fresh greens, tangy goat cheese, and candied pecans, all drizzled with a divine balsamic reduction.
The highlight of the evening was, undoubtedly, the Wagyu steak. Cooked to absolute perfection, the marbling on the meat was a sight to behold. With each succulent bite, the steak delivered an explosion of flavors that I can only describe as heavenly. The tenderness of the Wagyu was unmatched, making every morsel a celebration of exceptional culinary craftsmanship.
And let's not forget about dessert! The Baked Alaska arrived at our table with a grand presentation, showcasing a perfectly sculpted dome of luscious ice cream atop a light and fluffy cake base. The anticipation built as the server gently doused the dessert in a flamboyant burst of flames, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle that delighted not only our eyes but also our taste buds.
The wine selection at Oak Steakhouse is also commendable, with an array of perfectly curated options that beautifully complemented each course. The sommelier's recommendations were spot-on and elevated the entire dining experience.
Overall, my experience at Oak Steakhouse in Charlotte was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of impeccable service, exquisite ambiance, and, most importantly, the outstanding cuisine makes this restaurant a must-visit for any food lover. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual evening out, Oak Steakhouse guarantees an unforgettable dining experience. I can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories at this culinary masterpiece!
We had such a lovely dinner - steaks were perfectly cooked and the Brussels sprouts and oysters Rockefeller were top notch. However, the experience was second to none. We were greeted with menus noting a “happy anniversary” as well as a card signed by the staff. Every server, food runner etc wished us a happy anniversary every time they came to our table. Debbie, our server, was a gem. She was knowledgeable and kind and personable. She truly made our experience so special. We were gifted a few menu items from our server after hearing us talking about our items on the menu that we were interested in. So so impressed with the hospitality and quality of Oak.
We will certainly be back.
A Five-Star Experience with Exceptional Service and Ambiance
The service was exceptional from the moment we stepped into the restaurant to the gift of a boxed coffee cake when we exited. The staff set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.
Our sommelier for the night was truly knowledgeable, detailing extensive knowledge about the regions of the wineries, how the grapes were grown, even the amount of sun they received while growing and how it affected the wine. He had a kind of expertise that can only come from true passion for the craft. His recommendations paired perfectly, enhancing the enjoyment of each dish.
The extra special touches did not go unnoticed. To our surprise, we were gifted complimentary champagne—a gesture that made our celebration even more special. It's the little things that matter, and this thoughtful attention to detail really demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction.
The ambiance of the restaurant was enchanting. Soft lighting complemented the elegant decor, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere that made us want to linger longer.
Our dessert choice was Baked Alaska, presented with a flambé at our table. It is a dish I loved as a child but had not seen on any menu for some time. Well done!
In every aspect, our experience was five-star worthy. We left with the feeling that we hadn't just had a meal, but an experience we would cherish.
Thank you to the entire team for delivering such impeccable service and for making our evening truly extraordinary.
Went here to celebrate my birthday & every staff member we encountered was so nice. The restaurant gave me a card signed by all of them & treated me like I was their only customer even though the place was full. Got the duck, the lamb, corn bread, fries, & their dark chocolate cake. It's the next day since I went & all of the delicious food, the atmosphere, & the service make me feel like I could 100% celebrate my birthday here again. Thanks, Oak Steak. Great experience.
Oak Steakhouse was a 1000/10!! I made reservations for my boyfriend and I for his birthday and asked them to please make it special. They went above and beyond. They treated us like we were top status! The staff gave my boyfriend a card they all signed, complimentary champagne(10/10), complimentary side of the mashed potatoes, and a cute presentation for his dessert! Our waitress April( I hope i spelled it right) was amazing as well! Now moving on to the food, the comments don’t lie when they say this is the best steak. My boyfriend and I travel to many steakhouses and this was the best so far. Soon as you cut the steak the juice just came out. The food is seasoned well and it’s hard to find that at fine dining restaurants. The crab cakes and shrimp were also a 10/10. Lastly, the Oak chocolate cake and margaritas were a 10/10! Definitely will be traveling back to Oak steakhouse!
