Oak Steakhouse

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oak Steakhouse - Alexandria My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Oak Steakhouse in Old Town Alexandria, and it could not have been a better experience. From start to finish, the service was outstanding and the food was an absolute 10 out of 10. Our server, Mike, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to meet Todd Hunt, the area director for Virginia and D.C., who personally checked on our table and made sure everything was perfect. You don’t see that kind of hands-on hospitality every day, and it really made the evening special. The restaurant is owned by Indigo Hospitality Group, and I honestly can’t say enough great things about the entire experience. Incredible food, exceptional service, and a beautiful atmosphere. If you're in the area and looking for a top-notch steakhouse, Oak needs to be at the top of your list. We’ll definitely be back!

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we had the best time ever. The atmosphere was amazing. Our waitress was so lovely and sweet. The food was phenomenal and was up to par with the price. I’m not really a drinker but I still try my bf’s drinks sometimes and this was the first time I ever truly enjoyed his old fashioned. The drink was a bit pricey but once we tasted it, worth every penny. I also loved the dessert they gave us for his birthday. It was so kind of them. For special occasions, I would 1000% go back. I’m so happy I found it. Side note: they do offer validated parking during certain times and days so if you plan on driving, ask ahead of time!

Dropped in for a steak while in town for the night, and wasn't disappointed. I sat in a comfy spot at the corner of the bar and was attended to by Mike, who was simply an ace, on the ball from start to finish. The vintage decor and moody lighting set the perfect tone for a sophisticatedly gritty dinner. Loved the caesar salad and the brussel sprouts, and they're more than generous with their steaks. Sparkling water on tap was exceptional as well. Next time I'm in town, I'll be back.

My hubby took me to celebrate my birthday. They greeted me with birthday wishes and a cute card. The seasonal menu had a variety of options for food and beverages. The atmosphere was warm and sophisticated. The service was top-notch. Our server was friendly and helped us with great recommendations. I can't wait to return. I highly recommend you visit.

Update: Came back again for desserts and cocktails and very enjoyed the sundae and passionfruit cocktail. Paul is a fantastic professional bartender. Cant wait to be back for dinner someday, oh and oysters are fresh and plump. Popped in for a quick cocktail and dessert and really enjoyed the fine dining ambiance as well as bar service from Keith. We have a lovely time and cannot wait to be back for dinner!

Great date night location. Food was so flavorful and filling. My boyfriend and I went in April and again in June and our server remembered us. He gets the filet mignon and I get scallops. The baked mac and cheese is AMAZING. 10/10

We felt like VIPs during our entire visit. The service alone is worth going back. On top of that, the food was delicious. I recommend the beef belly appetizer. The only reason I didn't give it a five was because the steak could have used seasoning or a smoky flavor. I would go back.

I mean if you're going to charge 80 bucks a steak you better nail that. That was what was sent out out as medium. sever had a wicked attitude. Not sure why. We were an easy party. For the money .. Not great. There's not a lot of atmosphere, it's like a cafeteria with nicer tables.

This place is the epitome of exquisite dining! First, thank you to everyone from the hostesses, our waiter Jose, and the GM Todd! Hospitality stands at the top of their list and it showed in every interaction that we had with all of the staff. Thank you. Next, I would mark this place as date night worthy. The type of restaurant where the dimmed lights, soft playlists, drinks, and food makes you stare off into your significant other's eyes from drink to dessert time. Here is a breakdown of my night: Appetizers: East Coast Oysters: fresh! Succulent and delicious Oysters Rockefeller: the BEST I've had in a while. The filling was simply divine! Drinks: Cinn City: looks like this was a seasonal drink because I didn't see it online. Well, let me say this, the combination of flavors in this drink takes you out of Alexandria and places you on a cozy mountain resort. The flavors...omg the flavors! And yes, I had and only needed one drink because it was a bit strong and I needed to walk lol Fun fact, my boyfriend ordered this drink after he tried and disliked his Oak Manhattan. He said that the Oak Manhattan was not his favorite but he agreed and loved the Cinn City. Entrees: 6oz Petit Filet Mignon- I should have ordered it medium because the cut was a little dried out with my medium/well request. Nonetheless, it was still very juicy and needed no sauce or anything added to it. Sides: Crispy Brussels sprouts- if I had to eat this everyday, I would! The Brussels were perfectly prepared, not too soggy and not overcooked. Tossed in a sweet/tangy sauce, this was SCRUMPTIOUS! Yukon Gold Potato Puree- who doesn't love a good potato Puree with their steak?! This freshly prepared Puree complimented the Brussels and steak perfectly! My boyfriend's dish: Steak Frites- his steak was prepared medium how he likes it and I have to say that after taking a bite, I secretly wanted his meal lol The fries were fresh cut and fried perfectly but like me, he indulged in the Yukon golden potatoes and Brussels-too good to pass up. Dessert: At this point in our dining experience, we were full but there was no way that we would have visited this magnificent place and not try a dessert. Well, the croissant bread pudding might confuse you at first sight, but it will win you over at first bite! OMG this dessert can go into the ring with several other competitors and I'm sure it will emerge as the people's champ! Dining experience delight! As our night ended, Jose presented us with their packaged mini cakes and told us to enjoy it in the morning with coffee. What a beautiful way to send off your guests. Update: I had it with coffee and I absolutely LOVED IT! Would I return again? Does a zebra have stripes? YES! lol Is it great for groups? Yes Romantic? Baby this place is sexy! Cost-affordable? Yes! You pay for the fine dining experience, ambiance, and quality service. Good for kids? Eh, hire a babysitter for this one and go enjoy your partner. Kudos! On a job well done! FYI, if you live in DC, then know that this place is a relative to O-ku, another one of my favs!

I was pleasantly surprised with this steakhouse tucked away in Old Town. It's quiet, and comfy and there isn't so much going on that you can't enjoy a peaceful conversation over dinner for two (or a small group). Our server was very nice and helpful with the menu and I appreciated how mindful he was of our allergies. A+! Food was delicious! Can't wait to go back!

Oak Steakhouse delivers a sophisticated dining experience with a classic steakhouse ambiance. Located in a charming setting, making it perfect for special occasions or a quality night out. Their high-quality, expertly cooked steaks, with cuts ranging from ribeye to filet mignon. Favorite sides include the truffle fries, creamed spinach, and mushrooms. Topped off with excellent service. For those seeking a memorable dining experience with excellent food and an inviting atmosphere, Oak Steakhouse is a highly recommended choice.

First time here and we arrived at 4:30PM on Saturday. We were thrilled they had the doors open to greet and to let us know where to go until they are ready at 5PM. Even though my reservation was not until 5:15 they still seated us. Our server was very nice and recommended the burger which my mom got and I got the steak frites. To me the menu is limited and not too appeasing but just enough for steak house. Food was a cool 6/10....I don't think it was memorable enough where it would stick out in mind. The oyester Rockefeller was $5 each which was great because I only wanted 3. The oyster Rockefeller was a nice 5/10, broccolini 5/10, steak frites 5/10, French fries 7/10, wagyu burger 6/10. Love the ambiance and that it wasn't crowed. The kitchen seemed a little backed up as our food took some time and our waiter did a little disappearing act multiple times. Overall, the place is 6/10

We went to dinner at Oak last week for a couples date night. The ambiance was very intimate and classic. Me and my husband ordered the special ribeye that was 32 oz I believe, we shared. We shared a caesar salad, had the bread service and for our side was the mushrooms. Everything was fantastic! Our server was attentive and their red wine blend was delicious. We had a great dinner and whenever we are back in town we will definitely go back! They are a bit pricey, but worth the splurge for a special occasion.

Food was delicious, ambience very good. Service was good as well. Would go back when in DC area.

During a session of "who loves food" with my colleagues, I mentioned my love of a good steak prompting the most seasoned foodie (a partner) to recommend Oak. Not one to back down from a trusted recommendation, I booked a spot for my monthly bougie dinner club crew. I was delighted from the moment I pulled up! In a modern Alexandria neighborhood, an Oak attendant walked me through a fireplace, dark wood sit down to our reservation. Our waiter greeted the two us immediately with a joke about a chocolate covered fish special, a charming way to note he read the notes I'd left. We graciously let him do the same joke once the others arrived making it that much better. As for the food, imagine a succulent prime cut 12 ounce New York strip with truffle butter trickling down the side. Or, if your imagination is overloaded by this image in your head, look at the attached steak picture! My crew felt excited about the sides and decided to just get them all to share, with me eyeing the Gouda Mac and Cheese. If my coworker recommended Oak just for the atmosphere and service, that would have been enough. But the food really did deliver on the quality I'd expect from that coworker! If you, like myself, find yourself asking the heavens for the best steak in the land, you wouldn't go wrong trying out Oak!

Go and have Robert take care of your dinner service. The place is cozy and upscale romantic but not "stuffy". Here for my husbands bday and the 6 of us left very happy. We had amazing steak and pork chop. The Mack n cheese was to die for but the Brussels sprouts were my absolute favorite. Order the red wine reduction sauce. So good. We capped everything with the biggest chocolate cake slice ever that came with ice cream sooooo good. Overall 10/10.

I've been to just about every steakhouse in the DMV. Talking with other foodies, someone asked if I had made my way to Oak Steakhouse. Oak Steakhouse, sounds sexy so why haven't I been? I looked at the reviews and well, surely I had to come. Let's talk service! I walk in a few minutes late for my 7:00 o'clock reservation and no issues, the host was accommodating and sat us down. Not even moments later, we are approached by this super happy and energetic person, he greets us, welcomes us, and tells us about the extensive wine list. He goes into detail! A great intro from inception, I'm hooked like a good novel! Todd, he introduced himself as the General Manager and just like that I'm home. I feel welcome. I feel important. Todd was warm and inviting. I love it here. Here comes our waiter, Michael. He's just as nice, we order and he comes back moments later with my wine! Like any fine dining establishment, he pours just a little. He's not a sommelier but he knows his craft well. The aromatic experience is a part of the enjoyment of getting a glass of wine. He stands there waiting for me to approve. I swirl the glass a few times to aerate the wine and release its aromas. I bring the glass to my nose, and concentrate on the wine's fragrance, it's Todd's pick and it's Divine! The smell is perfection, the legs were just beautiful! The taste was everything promised! Napa, oh Napa! Food: Shrimp Cocktail exceeded all expectations! Petite Filet was perfect! Thanks Michael for not making me get well done. It was slightly pink but full of flavor! The Brussel sprouts were perfect! To die for! Wagyu burger was delicious. The sundae was a perfect ending! The brownie in the sundae was so good. I ate it all with not an ounce of regret! I had to leave by acknowledging the manager Todd! When I tell you I haven't had this level of service in years, I mean it. Todd is exceptional. I would return just to say hello; thankful that if I do, I'll have a great meal, from start to finish! Yelp Elites, you cannot go wrong here! Class! Excellence! Sophistication! There it is, that is Oak Steakhouse in three words! I'll be back! And SOON!

My husband and I joined a friend here for dinner. Friend was visiting from Italy and was seeking a great steak. I'm not much for steakhouses but a quick google search for "best steaks in Old Town" led us here. We were able to make a 7pm reservation for 3 earlier in the day. Ambiance was cozy, appropriate for date night or business. Service was fantastic (shout out to Enrique). I had a delicious Old Fashion and my husband had his whiskey neat. I ordered the petite filet with truffle butter, husband ordered that Wagyu Burger (phenomenal) and the friend ordered the full size filet with shrimp. The filet was THE BEST filet any of us ever had. Prepared medium rare, it was perfectly cooked and literally melted in the mouth. We will absolutely return. If you haven't given Oak Steakhouse a shot, I highly recommend you do!!

My partner and I made reservations at Oak to celebrate our 10th anniversary. In the reservation note I put that in; we were going on a Friday at 730pm. Got there at 7 and checked in but found seats at the bar for a cocktail. For our dinner we moved to a table - it was a 4 top that they took the additional settings away. There were plenty of 2 top tables around, so I'm not sure why we were sat there but our waiter was great. We each had a filet; I added the red wine jus and my partner had the blue cheese crust and the horseradish. For our sides we got the Mac and cheese and Brussels. We also got the rolls. I like it pink but I got medium - it was more of a medium rare (which was fine). My partner prefers some pink so he got medium well - it was more medium. We were happy so keep this in mind when ordering. The food was delicious - our steaks were tender and the sides were delicious. Our waiter also had wished us happy anniversary and then they brought out a complimentary dessert and Prosecco for each of us! That was a very nice touch. After we paid we were given the small cakes to have the next morning. I will definitely be back to Oak. The reason I removed one star is because of the price. The 6oz filet was about $47 without sides; each side was $12. Other restaurants include sides with their filets for a similar price point of around $40. So, that is the only reason I removed a Star. The food was excellent and the waiter was great, plus all the extras for our anniversary made for a very nice evening.

This review is LONG overdue. OAK IS MY FAVORITE STEAKHOUSE IN THE AREA!! Omg never fails. The sides are slightly under seasoned that's the only reason it's not 5 stars for me but I understand you must serve to the masses lol. The black truffle butter goes on EVERYTHING I get here lol. Perfect for girls night. Solo dinners. Date nights. Taking the parents out. And everything in between.

No complaints, seating and service were very quick. Every member of the staff we encountered was courteous and kind. Great music and atmosphere for a Saturday night. While the entrees were decent (duck breast, NY strip), the sides and apps stood out to me. Really enjoyed the mushrooms and beef tartare. Drinks weren't very notable but thats not a bad thing.

We dined here for the 1st time. We started with a ceaser salad which was average. We then ordered bread/rolls which were good. My husband had the ribeye which was 75% fatty I had the filet which lacked flavor. I had to order steak sauce for my filet which with a filet you should not have to do that. We had 2 sides cold fries and the Brussel sprouts which were out of this world. I would've been happy with the whole plate of those. I ordered coffee and cheesecake which were both good. Server was very good. Just a few things to work on!

The service was excellent; our server was friendly and provided great recommendations. Cute restaurant for a date night or a night out with friends. We had the shrimp ceviche as an appetizer, it had a bit too much lemon, which took away a bit of the flavor of the fish and shrimp. I ordered the scallops which were fresh and cooked well.

I took my good friend here to celebrate his birthday. We were so excited to try the bread and Brussels sprouts since they were favorites in lots of the reviews I've read..let's see :) We made a reservation for a Wednesday evening. He ordered the bread immediately (pressed! LOL) and it was yummmmmy! So buttery good but I didn't care for the stuff on the top (garlic, sesame seeds and other seasonings). It was fresh and hot of the oven. Check. We ordered a Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese to share. All were pretty tasty for the exception of M&C. Definitely not our fave but I am sure it's tasty to some. I ordered the petite filet and he ordered the NY strip. Both were cooked to perfection and were pretty flavorful. They brought dessert for his bday that was super yummy - I HAD to taste it! LoL Overall, the service was outstanding and has a nice and cozy atmosphere. The ambiance is romantic if you can snag a booth.

Highly recommend, meal was excellent for our party of 6. Shared the aged cowboy steak with my husband, the flavor was rich and meat was tender. Sharable sides plenty for all. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese and Asparagus. Recommend all. Brussels sprouts had a balsamic reduction which was delicious. Daughter had the Wagu burger which she said was the best burger she had ever had. Desserts are large enough to share and a perfect end to the meal. Ambiance is nice but a little noisy when crowded. Service was efficient and attentive.

Todd (GM) and his staff are top notch. Food is always prepared right and always a place to go and enjoy dinner and drinks! Our go to steakhouse in old town!

Continues to be a great date night spot, with great food but even better service. Their staff is a well oiled machine ! They've upped their cocktail game by adding in black salt as an accoutrement to their rims, and I was super impressed (it's hard to find!). Fries are always hot & crispy - steaks are melt in your mouth good. I wish the anchovies were mixed into their Caesar dressing already as it's a pretty solid flavor profile.. I loved the baby romaine wedges it came with. Steamed spinach was delicious as well. It's always solid !

Came here while on vacation with some friends for our annual couple's anniversary trip. We were seated right away and had a great server, Greg. He made many recommendation which were all good. Started the night with the Bramblin Man. So delicious. It had a nice fruity flavor but was not sweet at all. We got an order of their bread. It was served hot with a side of butter. One of the best breads I have had anywhere. My husband and I shared the Caesar salad. It was a cross between a Caesar and a wedge salad. A little different, but it was tasty. The best part was dipping the bread in the Caesar dressing. I ordered the New York steak. Honestly not my favorite. It was too charred on the outside and was in need of some salt. However, it was cooked perfectly. I definitely preferred my husband cut, the filet. It was delicious. My friend ordered the burger which he enjoyed. We ordered the mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, and Mac n cheese for the table. Potatoes were good but the other two amazing! For dessert we had the Nutella chocolate cake and our friend ordered the apple and cherry cobbler. Both good. This is definitely one of the better steakhouses we have been to on our vacation tour.

Food was great. The one place that duck didn't smell gamy Service was greater. Everyone was polite and attentive. William had our table and I must say one of the best services I have had, and I dine in fine restaurants often. Ambiance was nice too Didn't care for the desert but it didn't matter, I had a great salad and meal Will go back to try their steak for sure

Incredible birthday dinner. Robert our waiter was amazing and the dishes he recommended were perfectly prepared. I had the Kansas City steak my wife had frites. Sides were Mac n cheese fries and sprouts loved everything. Also the chef had us try the humus as a starter and it was money. At the end of the evening Robert brought us a rich chocolate cake for my birthday. This was a great birthday dinner. The staff were incredible, the food was a 10 and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you OAK we will be seeing you again.

Underwhelming experience. Filet mignon was decent but wow, everything else was below average. Old fashioned was good. But for $21 per drink, one should expect excellence. Service was slow and lackluster. The restaurant is pleasant and appealing but won't be returning.

We came here for our anniversary... it was on a slow weeknight, so they weren't very busy, but the service provided by Enrique was spot on! The manager working that night was Todd and he was also engaging and attentive during our dining experience... The service from both was great! My only issue with service wasn't related to them, but to the kitchen, as the courses came out wayyyy too quick, especially for a slow evening when there wouldn't be another turn on our table at all. They have a really nicely orchestrated menu loaded with all the steakhouse favs, but with a slight southern flare to the preparation. We started with their shrimp cocktail and it was perfectly plated and flavorful! The cocktail sauce was decent, but not quite what I expect from a nice chophouse; nevertheless, it was really good! Next course was the wedge salad and that was really tasty... probably one of the best I've ever had! Their steak prep was spot-on, as I opted for their small filet for my main course. Wife's main course was their pork chop and it was pretty big and she absolutely loved it! Not only would I highly recommend stopping in, we'll definitely be back! But next time I'll place my order in courses rather than all up front. There's really never a reason to order all at once, you'll end up with courses not being timed properly.

My wife and I visited this restaurant the weekend before Valentine's Day. First let me say that they are very timely when it comes reservation times and service. When we arrived we were seated immediately. The hosts were nice and greeted us upon our arrival. Our server was very nice and vigilante of our needs while we were at the table. We started with the bread service and Oyster Rockefeller which was great. The biggest upset was that they were out of potato puree which is what we always get with our steaks. I have never experienced a steak house fine dining experience that was out of mashed potatoes. We both order the 16oz Ribeye steaks and shared a Caesar salad (since they were out of potato puree). Steaks were cooked the correct temperature but in my experience they were not one of the tops steaks we have experienced. Ambiance was nice and intimate for a date. I recommend you try them for yourself and get your own experience.

Food was great. The staff was very accommodating. The decor was nice and made the dining experience feel warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends.

Had a wonderful first meal at Oak Steakhouse. First off, the ambiance in the restaurant is really nice - modern with a hint of classic with lovely mood lighting. Definitely try their rolls with everything seasoning - warm and delicious. I had the Steak Frites and my steak was buttery and tender - you could almost cut it with a spoon!! The beef fat fries were crispy and salty. Exactly what you want in an entrée. I will be back!!

This place was wonderful. I brought our leadership team here for a year-end dinner. There was not one item on the menu that we ordered that I didn't enjoy. I also really enjoyed the red moscato they had (in place of the summer sangria they haven't rolled out yet). We had a small seafood tower, fries, charcuterie, Brussels, papas bravas, scallops, halibut, Caesar salad medallions, Mac and cheese, spinach, asparagus, and so much more. Can't wait to come back. And the service was incredible. We had a group of 10 on a Monday and we were seated in an area that was secluded-ish but still felt like a part of the restaurant. The all-hands-on-deck approach to service was beautiful.

Spent my husband's birthday here! It was a fantastic experience! Our server was great! Attentive and well mannered! I enjoyed my "she got the look drink", and our meal was fantastic. My husband had the 12 oz NY strip steak and I got the 10 oz filet mignon butterflied. We had Brussels sprouts (so happy we found a restaurant that serves them with no bacon) and the mashed potatoes! It was a great night. We were stuffed from all the amazing food. Compliments to the chef! We will definitely be back to try out the dessert. Hopefully before the seasonal desserts go. We truly enjoyed the restaurant look and happy that it was a set mood but it wasn't too dark where we couldn't see our food compared to other restaurants. Love love love the medieval times style chandeliers.

As always, the food and ambiance was amazing. Tonight I wasn't drinking so I tried one of the mocktails and it totally hit the spot. But I'd especially like to give a shout out to our server Thai, who was friendly, efficient, and so pleasant throughout the night. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!!!

Very nice establishment, professional setting with high class service. Delicious, well cooked steak. Sides were also delicious. Don't forget dessert! Large portioned dessert, not that wimpy, small, decadent dessert some steakhouses like to serve. Overall, great experience. Everything including drinks, apps, main course, sides, and dessert were amazing.

18-year Marine Corps Reunion! I wanted to take a minute today to provide feedback on the team and property at the Oak Steakhouse in Alexandria, Virginia. Seven months ago, I was attempting to find a nice venue for a Marine Corps Officer reunion. The first one of its kind for this group of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. As you can imagine finding a high end restaurant for a group of 13 was difficult. That was until I called the Oak Steakhouse and spoke to Todd. A consummate professional from start to finish. From the very beginning he did everything he possibly could to make then night perfect. All through the lead up the communication was professional and prompt. On the day of arrival, everything was immaculate and perfectly executed. The service, food, and atmosphere were above reproach. It was evident in every corner of the fine establishment that perfection and high-quality food and service was the focus. This was a direct reflection of Todd's leadership. I also wanted to call out our server Will who executed the service flawlessly. Every member of that group of 13 senior Marine Corps officers said nothing but phenomenal things about the staff, food, and atmosphere. Truly a memorable night. Thank you for an incredible night that will live in the memories of my brothers in arms for years to come. I will be recommending that restaurant to anyone who needs a great place to eat with incredible service and atmosphere.

If you're looking for a spot to celebrate a special occasion, Oak Steakhouse in Alexandria is definitely worth checking out. Located at 901 North Saint Asaph Street, the restaurant is easily accessible and there's ample parking nearby on the street or an underground garage around the block. The food and drinks at Oak Steakhouse are simply amazing. I highly recommend trying the OAK A5 WAGYU BURGER or the Steak Frites - they're both delicious and cooked to perfection. The wine list is impressive and the cocktails are creative and well-crafted. The service at Oak Steakhouse is good, but I did feel that the servers were trying a bit too hard to upsell or turn my table. However, that didn't take away from the overall experience. I will definitely be returning to Oak Steakhouse in the future. Overall, I recommend Oak Steakhouse for a special occasion. The food and drinks are outstanding, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out. I will return soon.

Great Ambience the lighting was date night! Service with a smile , food came out promptly.

First time visiting The service- our waiter and host were excellent and informative Cocktails- Strawberry cocktail was good not too sweet. Margarita with black salt rim was gorgeous and tasty Food. Scallops and risotto- good flavor but scallops may have been a tad undercooked. Ribeye- good flavor Mashed potatoes- disappointing and needed more butter flavor to take them over the top . Smoked gouda mac and cheese- tasty if you like the smokey flavor Parker house rolls- yummy All in all I would recommend this place. It's not on my top five steakhouses but worth a try.

The people are amazing, but sadly that is the end of the superlatives. My wife ordered the scallops, which were wildly disappointing. The risotto base was fine, and the scallops were okay, but three 10/12 scallops for $42? Not U8 or U10, or even U12, but three (3!!!!) appetizer sized 10/12 as an entree for $42? Pathetic. And then there was my steak. Ordered medium rare, but got well done. Sent it back and waited 15-minutes only to get very, very rare. As in chase it around the restaurant rare. Gross. Made the best of it because my wife was just watching me after finishing her joke of an entree version of a scallop dinner. Two cocktails, and two glasses of wine - with 20% tip, $250. Goes to show that DC restaurants that do a tourist business can survive despite failing at the basics.

Oak is a great special occasion or date night spot--beautiful interior, excellent food, and outstanding service. The waitstaff is kind and passionate, we had a great experience. I highly recommend the braised short rib, it was fork tender and melt in your mouth delicious! The dinner rolls are made fresh daily with a homemade butter. Inside is a dark, moody interior with a beautiful bar--we will be back!

Celebrated a family member's birthday in the evening. Great staff and wonderful waitress, Alexandra. She knows that menu and her suggestions helped our group of 10 nail some delicious food and drinks! Made our occasion extra special! Great spot and definitely will return!

Hate to have to post such, because the people are so great, but.... Now my second time there and the steak was overcooked. Not only was this the second time for me, but also twice that people sitting next to me said the same thing. Management made it right, but, sides get cold while waiting for them to do again and of course more time spent waiting. Steaks are great, ,wine, and people too. Just appears the guy at the grill needs to learn a bit more. For the prices paid - should be spot on. Note - first time I the steak back and they did another. This time I did not care to wait for another, but bartender gave me another wine. Again - good people - just not sure cook is able to get temps right.

Cannot say enough good things about Oak. From ambiance, staff, food and bar nothing short of exquisite! I cannot wait to visit next. Literally mouthwatering, deliciousness!

Oak went out of their way to make sure we had a great anniversary dinner. From the moment we stepped in, everyone was friendly and helpful. Our server was quick to give us recommendations from the menu and everything we tried was great. Major highlights: - Parker house rolls (SO tasty, a must order!) - Caesar salad (this was served in a very unique way with gem lettuce, and was the perfect size for two people to share Our steaks were both perfect. I ordered the six ounce filet with truffle butter on top and my husband ordered the NY strip steak with chimichurri sauce. Both cuts were phenomenal. For sides, we ordered brussels sprouts and the bravas potato, which were both a nice size for sharing. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake, which was HUGE and really delicious. All in all, a lovely experience and would definitely come back!

Great steaks. Sides good and wonderful bread. Really good wine pairings for the steak as well.

Really good steak, Mac and cheese, fries, and hummus. Had a side of the bernaise sauce.

We had a delicious meal. The Filet was perfect in addition to a Caesar Salad with grilled shrimp. Very good wine list. Service was excellent and very attentive staff -incredible server named Gigi. I would highly recommend. Will be back next in Alexandria.

We had a large celebratory dinner at Oak House in Old Town Alexandria on a Saturday. The standout feature of our evening was undeniably the fantastic service provided by our server, Alexandria! She was attentive, knowledgable, friendly, and extremely professional in handling a large party. The ambiance of the Oak House exuded a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Our food was rich and flavorful ranging from the foie gras, different steaks, and the seafood towers. Our least favorite dish was the spinach side dish which was oddly oversalted. We still enjoyed the main entrees which were cooked exactly to our specifications. A fun evening! But the greatest kudos go to our waitress, Alexandria. She was stellar.

Great date night spot with upscale yet relaxed atmosphere! Tab on the higher end but we knew they going into the reso. We had a great waiter who knew the menu well and helped us order. Our of everything we tried (see photos) I would not order the bread again. A friend spoke highly of it but sadly I thought it was hard on the outside then my husband said too soft on the inside. Also the butter it came with was a little too hard. Everything else was 10/10! Since we were celebrating, we splurged on 3oz of wagyu. I didn't get to eat the red parts (pregnant) but my husband sad it melted in his mouth. Was very pleased with the rib-eye and truffle Mac and cheese! Wanted dessert but was too full and they were closing. Would go back again but would try a few other places before.

Let's start with the parking! We were able to find public street parking immediately. Although we thought we would have to park a few blocks away, it wouldn't have been a bad walk. We did happen to visit during restaurant week. We appreciate the fact that we didn't have a reservation, and were able to get seated right away. Our waitress Natalia was great, and so was the manager for the evening. We ordered the shell fish tower for our appetizer, and immediately was thrown off by the size of the colassal King crab legs. The manager immediately agreed with us that the size was a bit small, and accommodated us IMMEDIATELY!! The oysters off the tower were our favorite!!!!! Our little one ordered several orders of fries, and they were super tasty. Natalia went out of her way and made our little ones day by making her a home made chocolate milk. Thanks so much!!! One thing I will mention is that I probably would never visit just for the drinks; we ordered the alcoholic green specialty drink and a martini. Refreshing, but that's about it. The food was amazing!!! We ordered the NY strip and the ribeye! Both tasty and enough to have for later. The Brussels and the Mac n cheese were enough for us to share, and pack up for later. Our highlight of it all, aside from the awesome customer service was the complimentary Oak sundae Banana Bread Pudding. I NEVER order dessert!!!! But let me tell you, you will not regret ordering that Oak Banana Bread Pudding. Whew!!!!!! Who would have known!!!!!!

I really don't know where to begin. Anyone who would give this place less than 10 stars is an absolute moron, and doesn't know what real food tastes like. I feel wholly qualified to make that statement. We came here for our anniversary, slightly cautious. But the service was top-notch. It was friendly and engaging. The food was amazing, and it tasted like they had every ingredient you could want in the world at their fingertips. I cannot wait to come back here for my next anniversary!

Great location, ambiance, food and service. We went in a group for a birthday celebration and will definitely return.
