OAK Restaurant

We came with my two tired, jet lagged and sick of everything girls (one 2.5 and the other 7 months old) and they were so sweet with us. The food was what eating out should be. I haven't had such good dishes in at least 2/3 years. We had: bread, soup of the day, beet salad, ravioli, a potato dish, Jerusalem artichokes and the pistachio dessert. My favorites were the beet, cashew cream and caramelized pecans dish and the bread. The bread was sourdough focaccia and totally worth it. Crispy and salty outside and soft and bouncy inside.

One of the best experiences I’ve had recently, I would give 10 stars out of 5! The atmosphere is intimate and comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and very attentive. The menu is truly intriguing. We tried a bit of everything, and we couldn’t pick a favorite dish, everything was delicious! A note: I had read a previous review mentioning small portions, so we ordered many dishes… but the portions are not small at all! The wine selection is excellent, and I love natural wines, they have plenty of them. If you’re visiting Bath, you can’t miss this restaurant. Even if you’re not vegetarian, give it a try!

We had an amazing time at Oak. To start with, the decor perfectly encapsulates what they’re trying to do, with a kind of rustic homestead vibe with a hint of modernity. This is matched with the great energy of our server Ella who was informative and clearly cared about the customer experience. This wouldn’t mean much if the food itself wasn’t up to the same standard, but it goes beyond. Absolutely delicious. The mix of vegan dishes somehow felt complex and simple simultaneously. We didn’t have a weak plate, and the focaccia that came with the hummus was probably the best I’ve ever had. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Bath and as a meat eater, I still think this is better than anything else you’re likely to eat in the city. The menu is all veggie but 90% of the dishes can be made vegan at request (which is what we did)

We came here for dinner as our friends recommended it. We booked in advance and it was the right choice. The atmosphere is romantic and cozy. Lily was a really good waitress, very polite and attentive. We went for the a la cart menu and got 5 dishes to share between 2. The arancini were my favourite. The focaccia was out of this world. It was more than enough. We unfortunately couldn’t fit the desserts but they looked amazing.

What to say about this establishment that hasnt been said ? Sadly, we didn't order the bread so our december focused dishes ended up with much unfinished sauces. Book in advanced as even in winter, it filled up not much after 12. Heaven for vegeterians and I wish it was as easy to find such a good meal in London. The kitchen clearly understands vegetables are the focus and there's no need to rely on pepper and spices. The only item of note is I'd rather see the service charge costed into the plates themselves or have a minimum charge to allow this a fine vegetarian establishment to keep running.

Exceptional. We had the set menu with the wine pairing, it was absolutely brilliant. I left inspired to try and recreate some of these seemingly simple but incredibly tasty dishes.

TLDR: Really enjoyed the food. Worth every penny, service excellent. I went for the Oak Five Course Feast with Wine Pairing. The server explained the menu before hand and when every dish was served including a very eloquent and informative description of the matching wine. The highlight the was mezze type selection of dishes in the middle which were all fresh and very tasty. The potato terrine main great top with excellent texture and flavour. The restaurant atmosphere and design had a nice balance of quirky and interesting but very professional at the same time. There are many other plant based restaurants I've been to in the last 12 months in the UK which could learn something about hospitality and creative and delicious food from Oak in Bath. Very nice indeed, i look forward to coming again and trying something different

It is our second time in Bath, and second time at Oak. We were as impressed as we were the first time. Their cuisine is innovative, creative, each meal is beautifully arranged on the plate, and pleasing for the eyes, The food is an explosion of flavour and texture in the mouth. And yet the ingredients are so simple: mostly in season local vegetables. I could feel the love and respect for each ingredient while eating. The Chef is an artist. The staff is nice and friendly, and I like the vibe of this place. If you visit Bath, make sure you book at Oak, it's more than worth it!
