The restaurant at Oxford Oaks Distillery is a small town gem with outstanding upscale food and service. We found this place for Valentines with a prefix menu and enjoyed it so much that we returned two weeks later to try out brunch. The shrimp and grits I had at brunch was some of the best I have ever had! And the on-site distilled liquors made for some delectable custom cocktails! Kudos also to the professional staff!

As per usual, dinner was delicious! We shared the tuna tower (outstanding!) and then we had the quail and the crab cake entrees. Oh…the Brussels sprouts!!! Our server, Amanda, was attentive (but not bothersome) and had great recommendations. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Lovely as always. Brunch is so good. Great service with a smile. Reasonable wait time for food. Excellent all around. The only tacky thing is charging credit card fee to pay for an upscale brunch.

This was my boyfriend & I’s second time visiting. Before we ordered our dinner, we were able to tour the brewery with the manager Timothy. He was very knowledgeable about all the products made & gave us a memorable experience for our romantic night. We ordered some items off the chefs choice menu. A surf & turf of salmon & 12 oz steak with crispy brussel sprouts & mashed potatoes for him & ravioli stuffed with lobster & crab in a creamy alfredo type sauce with capers & salmon roe for me. Everything was beyond delicious! Special thanks to our waitress Morgan who made our night extra special & also remembered that this was our second time visiting lol.
