   7 of us for dinner and all of us loved it. We ordered almost the whole menu and every plate was clean—so good. Fried oysters, Jalapeño corn bread, thousand layer potatoes, artichoke cakes, crab cakes, short rib, French dip, etc.. People loved the craft cocktails. I thought the prices were too low actually. Service was also excellent. Highly recommend this place.

   Fabulous meal and service. The Oak Bistro is such a warm and welcoming space with great lighting, fresh flowers, and cozy tables. Third time here and cannot wait to return.

   Second Time here and food is wonderful. I would have given all 5 stars, but our food was delivered all at once not separated as appetisers and then mains. Maybe I should have communicated this better as we were visiting with our son, and wanted it to be more leisurely. The meal except for dessert took 37 minutes. I would ask for a slower pace next time and we will be back.

   I love Oak bistro. I think they were shortstaffed today, so it took a while to be served. But the cocktails and the food are outstanding, and I love the coziness of this restaurant. It’s also not as loud as many of the downtown Boston restaurants. One of my favorites.

   I am a huge fan of Oak Bistro! This was our 2nd time there and I wondered if I would love it as much as the 1st time…. I did! Service was amazing - friendly and helpful. The food was unique and delicious. I was sad they didn’t have the seasonal pumpkin latte martini …but they made another great drink for me. We were celebrating my birthday and they brought out a special birthday treat to end the meal. Love it! If you haven’t been go… you’ll be glad you did!

   The little touches at Oak Bistro add up to a truly enjoyable experience. Our server Colleen was attentive and engaged during our brunch-time visit, answering questions and offering useful suggestions that had us stay a little longer to enjoy a post-meal cocktail. Highly recommended items here include the cornbread appetizer, whose composition changes with the season, and the carajillo, which is set to dethrone the espresso martini as the coffee-based cocktail of choice. Oak Bistro has waltzed right in to the short list of welcoming and satisfying dining options for me, and I’m sure it will do the same for you.

   We had a team diner of 11 people and 2 were running late. I was impressed by how kind, welcoming and helpful Noel was, despite the hassle I am certain this cause the poor kitchen folks. Despite our odd ordering cadence, every plate was perfection. The food here is always inventive, with exciting flavor combinations... but the plating is dazzling. Every course is an event, and I sit in an emotional crisis... of eating the fragrant and mouthwatering presentation... while not wanting to ruin such a perfect plate! The Fresca Lime Ricky (mocktail) was delicious. Who needs alcohol when such flavorful alternatives are available? Must try... Dee's Artichoke Cakes and the Thousand-Layer Crispy Potato Pave. (It haunts my dreams). For your main... this place does short-rib right so well. I had a special, but every dinner was devoured with enthusiasm. This was my 5th visit, and I have another planned in January. Add this to your list as a total GEM!

    The food was delicious. The bistro is small but not over noisy. The staff was excellent.
