    Had never been to Oakmont before. We had just seen a show, it was late and we found Oakmont on the app. Not very many options at 9:45 on a Sunday night. The menu looked promising. The drinks were fun and delicious. They had several Christmas cocktails available. The cauliflower puree was very good. The French fries were cooked perfectly. Everyone at the table was eating the French fries from the plate of the person that ordered them. They were ordered without the truffle sauce. The salmon entree was delicious and cooked well. All of us were pleased and satisfied with our entrees. From the yummy pickle slices served with the chicken sandwich,the tajin on the chicken quesadilia, or the "something spicy" in the budda bowl, it all worked and made us very hungry eaters happy and satisfied.

    Burim was our server and was outstanding! We had never been to The Eagles Nest, and my husband had wanted to go for years. I booked a reservation as a surprise Christmas dinner for us. It was a wonderful experience and date night away from routine and kids for a few hours. It was such a special evening. Also, it was really neat to be seated by the window- starting with one view and finishing with another. Slowly turning to view the city below us was so peaceful and magical. The cost was affordable for such an event. We plan to return not just alone, but with our children in the future so they can have the same wonderful experience above our very busy city that my husband and I had. I have nothing negative to say. If you are looking to try a new restaurant I recommend The Eagles Nest. Maybe you’ll even get Burim as your server. ;)
