We dined here on a Wednesday night and being unusually warm, we sat outside. My Curried Cauliflower Bowl with chicken was delicious and my wife enjoyed it her Pumpkin Bisque and Caesar Salad. Our server was very friendly and attentive. A very enjoyable night and dining experience. Lots of free parking.

We had a girls night dinner there, well a Sunday afternoon. Our server was fantastic. My only issue is the volume of the televisions. I understand the ravens were on, but whenever I am there, it’s impossible to have a conversation without speaking very loudly, whether it is a Sunday brunch and your musicians are way too loud or this particular time with the TVs being way too loud. However, we enjoy it every time we come and we will return.

Friday lunch 12:30pm. Quite crowd and had a booth. Wonderfully surprised by the meal. Not your “typical” bar food. Had the BLAT - Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado and Tomato. Came with fries. Bacon was extra lean and perfectly cooked. Avocado was flavorful and the fries were crispy yet soft on the inside = perfect. James was the server and he was excellent. Will revisit.

Not much to say. We were visiting from out of town. Took 1 hour for soup, salad, and tacos to arrive. Food was ok but overpriced.
The White Oak TavernResponded on September 22, 2024
Hi Michael, All of our menu items are made by hand, from scratch using the best ingredients and our prices reflect that. I am sorry that we took awhile to deliver your food. We had a unexpected very busy Saturday night. If you would like to reach out to us, so we can compensate you for the inconvenience and we hope that you give us another try when your back in town. Cheers.
