Oak Steakhouse

Oak was a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Paul, was fantastic. I wish we could have him as our waiter every time! He gave great recommendations, was quick to answer questions and food was brought out in a quick timely manner. The food was fantastic. The hanger steak and bone marrow were a great pair to try together with the oak steak sauce, and the Mac and cheese was the perfect amount of cheesy. The bread and butter and oyster Rockefellers were great apps to try. Honestly could’ve done without one of those apps because at the end I was a comfortable full! The peanut butter and Oreo cream pie was the perfect birthday dessert, very rich but so yummy! Definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion!

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the restaurant team for the exceptional service and delectable food. Our waiter, Greg and the manager, Nick went above and beyond to make our dinner truly memorable. Kudos to the entire staff for making our special evening even more special! Just an over the top experience from the Oak Steak House!

My husband and I went there on a weeknight to celebrate his promotion. We made a reservation that required a deposit, but the restaurant is small so I get that it is important. The atmosphere is very cool, staff was lovely to interact with-the service was the best part of our dinner there. I ordered a local fish and my husband got a New York Strip. Both entrees were cooked well, but overpriced even for a Steakhouse (Compared to the same steaks at Capital Grille/Bonefish Grill). The most disappointing item on their menu were the sides-we expected to have more than 5 options with some of them being vegetables, but their starter and side selection was incredibly small. Drinks were amazing, excellent selection of spirits, beer and wine. The dessert options were expensive so we didn’t order anything else. I don’t know if I would go here again, parking was not very fun-I would expect a restaurant of this price point to have valet-but I won’t hold that against them!

We had an amazing experience. The Beef Wellington is to die for as well as the filet and mac and cheese. The service was also top tier. Our waitress, Kasey, was wonderful. She was attentive, informative, as well as very kind. The managers were also great and wished me a happy birthday. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Came here for my birthday for the first time. The staff was impeccable, we had the pleasure of being served by James, he was super knowledgable about the starters, main dishes, and sides. James was very exceptional and kind, thank you for making my day so special! The restaurant is beautiful. We were a bit nervous as we noticed the sanitation score was at 95 and typically like to dine at establishments 97 and above but everything was great. Highly recommend the bread rolls and Mac n’ cheese.

Awesome first experience for my husband's birthday. Made a reservation and staff reached out in advance to ask about his interests, and there was a gift waiting at the table! Really went the extra mile, top notch hospitality. Cocktails were delicious, love their twist on a Caesar salad, and both our steaks were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend for a special occasion!

This was our first time and it did not disappoint! The restaurant reached out and inquired about how we were celebrating our wedding anniversary because it was on our reservation, and when we told them we were also expecting our first baby in the next few weeks, they greeted us with an anniversary and baby gift at our table. We were so impressed! We had the house made rolls, burrata salad, braised short ribs, and steak, and they brought us a complimentary dessert, as well as talked to my husband in depth about pours of different bourbons, which he tried and loved. He really enjoyed his old fashioned, and they made me a delicious mocktail! Our server John was extremely attentive and made us feel right at home. We will be back!

Wonderful restaurant! Highly recommend! The staff is welcoming, the food is top-notch, and the vibe was just right (including mellow music at a low volume). Thanks to our server, Paul!

In April, my parents came to visit for my birthday, and we did a joint birthday dinner. They were visiting from out of town, and I got to choose the restaurant. I picked this spot and OMG did this restaurant knock it out of the park. The day after I made the reservation, the restaurant concierge (yes, they have a concierge) reached out to me to inquire as to our interests so they could add some special touches to the evening. I won't say what those special touches are, as I don't want to ruin the magic. But that was the first impression I got. Then when we showed up, the hostess knew who we were, the special occasion we were celebrating, and warmly welcomed us. They showed us to our table which had nice message welcoming us for our special occasion. Our waitress was phenomenal and allowed us to take our time selecting our courses, and answered our questions knowledgeably. She timed all of our courses perfectly, and everything came out hot and fresh. She had a wonderful personality and took the time to chat with us throughout the night. Lastly, the general manager left a huge impression on me and my parents. I am not exaggerating when I say that he made us feel like were were best friends in high school and that he personally invited us to come dine in his restaurant. He made my parents feel very valued and special. And my dad, who is almost perpetually displeased with service at restaurants, kept saying how we needed to write a review about how wonderful the manager, staff, and food was. Dang, Oak. The only complaint I have is that you've probably ruined all other steakhouses for us because you've set the bar so incredibly high.

Beautiful inside with industrial lighting, comfy booths, one sports TV at the bar that we saw. Exceptional service from Zach and Carly (manager). Dont skip the mac and cheese or the strawberry burrata salad (I dont love arugula and would still order again bc the arugula wasnt bitter). Dynamic flavors and recco getting a sauce for the tenderloins (which is good bc it means they dont overly season). Good wine list and cocktail menu, great for date night. Two parking lots and street parking options nearby. It was pouring rain when we left and staff escorted us to our cars to keep dry - really above and beyond service!

We've been here before and it's always been consistently amazing but most recently we dined here for our 9 year anniversary in November and let me tell you, they sure know how to make you feel special. When you dine here you will be treated like kings, nay, gods. No, the food wasn't perfect but yes, they fixed any issues that came up (the over $100 dry aged steak was raw inside after being sent back to the kitchen twice but they comped it without us asking and the marrow fries were so salty to the point of being inedible although we didn't mention it because there was more than enough food to eat anyway). Tartare was nice and the spice on the side has quite the kick so be careful not to be heavy handed when seasoning your lettuce wrap. Good but wouldn't get again. Deviled eggs were incredible and topped with fried oysters. It's been a while but I wanna say my drink was called the blue lemon? I loved it. My husband said it didn't taste like alcohol but that's what I was going for hahaha Scallops are yummy. They gave us free marrow (with toast) and that was delicious. Bone marrow fries were the inedibly salty ones. It tasted like the cap fell off as they were seasoning it. You've gotta get the bread DUH it's amazing. Beef Wellington I ordered was like one of 7 and there were two left so of course I had to. It was lovely and the meat was perfectly medium rare. Sauce was quite salty but not unforgivable. We ordered the ice cream flight and they were all fantastic. They also gave us a complimentary blood orange dessert. Of course we will be coming back. The ambience is always gorgeous, intimate, and warm. The staff always goes above and beyond and is extremely attentive and helpful. They without a doubt went out of the way to make sure everything went smoothly for us and that we had a very special evening celebrating our anniversary there together. Definitely the best steakhouse in the triangle.

First, Taylor greeted us and was a wealth of knowledge about night time places to check out after dinner (better than most concierge desks at hotels!). The menu was straight and the food was nothing short of amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable and we took him up on suggestions for pairing a bottle of wine & chimichurri sauce with our choice of hanger steak and frites. Everything was seasoned perfectly and was melt in your mouth yumminess. The wall of wine bottles and dim lighting of the industrial chandeliers made this meal a real pleasure. Super clean and classy.

We celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary at Oak Steakhouse. The staff went above and beyond to make it a wonderful and memorable occasion. The food was divine! (we both had the filet). The ambience was great! We thoroughly enjoyed everythin!! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous steakhouse in Raleigh for date night! The food was absolutely delicious - you must get the rolls! Every staff member we encountered was very attentive, friendly, and knew their stuff! We would definitely return for a future special occasion!

My grandfather always told me there's a few things worth spending money on in life. Food is not always one of them but at the right place, with the right people, who create a perfect experience, it can be. To start my 2025 dining experiences off with Oak Steakhouse for the first time, may have been a bad decision because now every place I go to from here on out, has a very high bar to meet. My husband and I love to try new restaurants, we try and pick at least one a month but strive for two. We've been to many different steakhouses around the area, all of the popular ones Im sure you've heard of. If you have not tried Oak Steakhouse yet and made it this far in reading my review, just stop here, make the reservation, and go indulge yourself. Ask for David :) He made the best recommendations to pair items together, knew the menu perfectly and was the star of our experience because of his attentiveness and knowledge. My husband even said "they dont have a cook back there, they have a chef!" Everything was so flavorful and dopamine filled with each bite. Here's what we had: We tried Rosie Corsair (rose petal infused kettle one, hibiscus syrup, lemon soda). It was like a hibiscus sprite with vodka, perfectly paired flavors, it was light and crispy with a bit of sweetness. My husband ordered the flight of old fashions. He LOVEs a good old fashioned and has learned not everyone can make a good one, even though it's a simple drink. His flight had Old Forester 1920, Evan Williams (house aged), and the seasonal old fashioned was an Apple version. His favorite was the house aged Even Williams. They had a few things to it that make it theirs, which is what made the drink. For starters, the Parkerhouse rolls and roasted bone marrow. Fix your face if "bone marrow" tripped you out, it was DELICIOUS and not what we expected. You spread this bacon concoction onto a piece of what I think is sourdough bread thats been toasted. All the flavors just dance in your mouth, it was so good! We also shared a Caesar salad which was the best version of a Caesar salad we've ever had (we're big Caesar fans, I always judge a high end restaurant off their Caesar salad). For entrees we both ordered steaks. I got the filet and he got the ribeye so we could try both cuts. I never had a steak cooked so perfectly to my liking, I ordered mine medium well because too much red will upset my stomach although I used to love a good medium steak. Both steaks had the perfect fill flavor and we topped them both with chimichurri. I loved their chimichurri, it was more like a soft butter spread texture than super oily like some can be. SO GOOD. Even the mashed potatoes and collard greens had their own moment. They just did not miss with anything. The collards have some of the "southern" flavor of a lot of us in the south enjoy but with their own spin on it with the creamy texture and flavor. To wrap up our evening we tried their Peanut Butter Pie. It's like a much better version of a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and an Oreo had a baby who went on to become the president. It. Was. So. Good. A peanut butter mouse that just melts in your mouth paired with that crisp banana chip topping, creates a firework of flavors in your mouth that send you back for another bite, even if you are full. This will be our go to steakhouse of all special events or when we just want to have special date night out. I can no longer with good heart recommend some of our favorite steakhouses in the same price bracket, this will be my #1 pick for now.

Very solid experience! We dined here to celebrate my friend's birthday. We really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was spectacular and the Service was amazing as well. We had to wait until our entire party was present to be seated so in the meantime we were able to sit at the bar which was a hospitable touch. Once seated, our waiter James was very nice and informed on the menu. You could tell he really knew and enjoyed what he was doing. The appetizers were amazing including the deviled eggs and the oysters. The deviled eggs had a kick to them which was much appreciated. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The only downside on the food was that they ran out of rolls :( Ambiance is typical of a steakhouse, dimly lit and sultry. The bathrooms were nice too, including a full length mirror and bag hook. Overall, had a great experience and will certainly be back!

Jesse, our server, Tina, and the GM (Nicholas, I believe), made our night such a memorable experience. From the oysters and deviled eggs to the chocolate cake and cheesecake, I can honestly say it was a night my husband and I will never forget. To the chefs who made each course an unforgettable one, I thank you. I cannot express how your thoughtfulness validated my experience in ways you'll never fully know. We plan to make this an annual dinner to continue to celebrate my milestone. - The Kramers

Don't confuse this place with "The Oak" as I did...they are two separate restaurants in different parts of the city lol. This one is relatively new compared to some of the older staples like Angus Barn or Sullivans. I'm a huge fan of Angus Barn, they make a mean steak and sides. The Oak is just as good if not better in certain categories such as sides. However, the Angus Barn wins for atmosphere and theme, the Oak is just a typical higher end steakhouse very clean and very modern. Service here is exemplary. Never ever had anything to complain about. The food is oh so amazing. I usually get the ribeye rare and it comes out perfectly each time and has a ton of flavor. It's a bit more pricy compared to the Angus Barn but the venue is much smaller and way less crowded, so more intimate. You feel less cramped in here. I really love their salads and Brussels sprouts. They bake fresh rolls and bring them to your table hot, they are much more dense than the fluffy rolls you'd get at Texas Roadhouse, having more substance and less sugar. Any of the appetizers or sides I've had have also been amazing. I would rank the Oak as my 2nd favorite steakhouse in the triangle after Angus Barn. Definitely 5 stars or above.

If I could give oak steakhouse more than 5 stars I would. The service was out of this world amazing - thank you to Zachery and the oak steakhouse team. Dined here for a birthday celebration and they really went out of their way to make the birthday guest feel special. The food was truly divine and I will definitely be back!

Review: Oak Steakhouse - Raleigh, North Carolina   It was a night of hanging out with good friends. The steakhouse had a sleek modern ambiance with a blend of wood, polished metals, stylish lighting, and an elevated vibe, making it the perfect spot for an intimate evening.   The service was impeccable.  The Staff was overly attentive and made sure that we received all the things we needed to enjoy the evening, from the curated cocktails and red wine to the attention to the needs of the table from the beginning, which was beyond the expectation of a top-tier restaurant.   Let's talk Steak.   The selection of the steaks was genuinely impressive.  They also had varying choices of 40-day aged steaks, providing all members of our party options to choose from for the dining experience.  The 8oz filet mignon medium rare was nothing short of perfection.  Every piece of steak melted in your mouth like butter, and the seasoning profile was the right balance between allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine. They offered a number of great accompaniments with the steak along with a number of great sauce options so each person could curate their best steak experience.    We had several sides at the table, including roasted baby carrots, bone marrow fries, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, pan-roasted mushrooms, and Mac and cheese. As a restaurant reviewer who has traveled all over the world, I couldn't find one thing wrong with what we experienced that night.   Even the Apple Cinnamon Moonpie truly made the night an unforgettable experience.   If you are looking for an amazing dining experience for spouses, family, friends, and business associates, I would absolutely recommend Oak Steakhouse.

We went to Oak Steakhouse for dinner last night. She ordered the regular filet and I ordered the 14oz bone in filet. Both were cooked perfectly. The bone marrow fries and deviled eggs were excellent. They have a decent (but overpriced) whiskey selection. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive and overall service as excellent. The restaurant was very clean. You knew it was a nice place but not too stuffy. Steaks were cooked perfectly (which I've learned is not a given even at expensive steakhouses). While it wasn't the best steak of my life it was certainly a meal I was not at all disappointed with.

Amazing flavors, and more unique than the usual steakhouses that have been in our rotation. Wasn't expecting bread to not be complimentary but glad we opted for them - the Parker House Rolls were amazing. The wife and I shared their take on a Caesar salad and I didn't think I'd like it but WOW, loved how flavorful it was. Steak and sides were equally solid. We'll come back.

Amazing. My nephew brought me here. Never been here before. Some of the best sushi I've had just found out that they have one in Tampa so I will definitely be visiting.

Wow. What an experience! I've been to numerous Steak Houses all over the country and Oak is one to add to the "best" list. First, we came for our anniversary, reso made online via open table. We arrived right when they opened and the the decor and aesthetic was beautiful! I was very excited to see how the food and service would hold up to the initial Impression. Next, our server was Eric. He was AMAZING. From explaining the daily specials, to helping us decide which appetizers or sauces we wanted to add to our steaks. He was great. Such a welcoming personality, we knew we were in good hands. We started with espresso martinis( which are listed on the dessert menu) and they were delicious. Vanilla infused Tito's? Oh sign me right up. We each had 2 glasses during dinner. For our appetizers we had the pork belly and the deviled eggs. Both were very unique and flavorful. For our entrees I had the filet mignon with the diane sauce and my boyfriend had the prime rib with the bone marrow and Black truffle butter. We also had a side of mashed potatoes and creamed collard greens. Now this is where you must listen very closely. If there is anything that you MUST do, it's get that Black truffle butter on your steak. After tasting my man's I knew forsure I messed up. I should have added that. And Eric made it happen. Once I added it to my steak it enhanced it EVEN MORE. I will dream about that butter forever. Eric also surprised us with 2 glasses of champagne to help celebrate our anniversary. Such a personal touch to make us feel ever more special than we did while we were there. We actually had to take food home because we were so full toward the end. The food reheated well btw if you're concerned. Overall phenomenal experience and we will most definitely be back!

My fiancé and I came here for my birthday celebration and we could not have been more pleased. The food was so incredible, from start to finish we enjoyed every bite. The service was amazing, everyone there that took care of us seamlessly worked together to make sure we were 100% taken care of at all times. The recommendations on food were perfect, our server even offered to have the creamed collards comped since he recommended it and we weren't too sure. They gave us dessert on them as well as the collards and a glass of wine. While this spot is a bit pricey for an every weekend sort of date night, it was incredibly worth it for a once in a while treat yourself. Attire seems to be business casual, although there were a few people dressed in jeans and T-shirts as well. We will definitely be back, hopefully for next years celebration!

Cannot praise this place enough. Incredible food and ridiculously amazing service. We've spent two anniversaries there, and they treat us like pure gold, even going as far as remembering how many years we're celebrating and our favorite songs. We are grateful for the people, for the experiences, and for the top notch, delicious food

This falls under My top restaurant Raleigh! They get everything right. 10/10... the menu is diverse and sophisticated created for each season. Steaks are beautifully prepared. Tonight we had the burger...don't forget to add the bacon, Brussels and bone marrow! Must have the bone marrow every single time with the bacon jam situation...talk about being high on the hog! Planning a romantic date night, just because or business meetings they have you covered. The managers are welcoming and amazing. They build community and remember the frequent flyers; after all don't you wanna go where everybody knows your name? I do! Be sure to make a reservation! If you for some reason can't, get there at 5pm and enjoy dinner and drinks at the bar, it's first come first serve. Happy Holidays

My boyfriend and I dined here last night and had a wonderful experience. I booked a reservation online at Opentable for 6:00PM. We arrived a few minutes early and were warmly greeted and seated in a booth. Our waiter, Jesse, was awesome. He informed us of all the specials along with the prices which I appreciated. He recommended the Beef Wellington and my boyfriend and I each ordered that entree along with the bone marrow frites. For our appetizers we ordered the Parker House rolls, Oysters Rockefeller and our waiter gave us 2 complimentary oyster deviled eggs to try. I ordered a smoked Manhattan and my boyfriend had a bourbon. The presentation of our drinks and entrees were impressive. Everything was delicious! Jesse checked on us often making sure our drinks and water were filled, even Management checked on us making sure we were happy with our meals and drinks. The Beef Wellington is a must order if it's available. They sell out of it pretty quickly, so you will want to get there earlier. The flavors were outstanding! My filet was cooked perfectly, the sauce, prosciutto, mushrooms and puff pastry complimented the filet and I didn't want my meal to end. You must order the bone marrow frites! I've never had fries this tasty in my life! And our appetizers and rolls were delicious too. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and classy. I loved the dimmed lighting and coziness of the booth. Parking is easy to find also with several pay to park lots available. I look forward to having another amazing experience again here in the future.

Update. The GM from the Raleigh location was very contrite, apologetic, and owned the entire unfortunate incident. They invited us back for a chance to make it right and WOW! When they get it right - it's amazing. Things happen, unfortunately it was big day for us, so the letdown was bigger than normal. We appreciate the accountability Nick and the entire OAK team took and the efforts to make it right. Not only was it right but it was superb. We'll be back to one of your amazing spots soon!

Setting: Located in Glenwood conveniently near a parking garage. The ambience is a more modern take on a steakhouse. With lots of dark rich colors surrounded by large windows. Food: We started off with a bone marrow appetizer, which was a perfect size for two people. The bread was toasted perfectly, and the bone marrow melted beautifully along with the complementary jam. For our entrées, we ordered the 8 ounce filet mignon and 14 ounce New York strip. Both steaks had black truffle butter on top. One was ordered, medium rare, and the other one medium. Both were cooked perfectly and had a nice sear. The fillet was exceptionally tender. The New York strip was bounding with flavor. Our side dishes included the mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. The mashed potatoes were definitely my favorite while the mac & cheese was good; however, it was more unorthodox with a jalapeño flavor. For dessert the apple soufflé takes about 15min to prepare and was worth the wait. It was fluffy and delicious. As for drinks we had a smoked Manhattan which was wonderful and a Vieux Carre. If you are looking for a perfect steak dinner look no further!

Reservations were an easy to make with parking deck less than a block away. The steak was nice, not as tender as expected when they stated it was a prime cut. My husband loved the Mac and cheese and I loved the brussel sprouts.

I planned my boyfriend's retirement party here, and everything was seamless--from the initial planning to the day of the event. Hannah was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the coordination process, and our server, Kirst, was so kind and attentive. Truly one of the best servers I've ever had. The restaurant left a thoughtful congratulatory note on the table for him, which was such a nice touch. The general manager stopped by our table and congratulated him personally. Dinner was fabulous, and our friends couldn't stop raving about the food, service, and overall beauty of the establishment. A true 10/10 experience!

Our server was great! The Beef Wellington was the best I've ever had!! The setting was lovely.

We came here to celebrate a special occasion, looking for a fine steak. Walking in with a reservation on this weeknight, we were promptly seated. The decor and ambiance was exactly what we were looking for, and service was excellent throughout the meal. For starters, we ordered the table bread, which was not complementary but was absolutely delicious and fluffy and worth it. As for entrees, my wife ordered the 16 oz ribeye and I ordered the 14 oz NY Strip. Unfortunately, the steaks were just about the only part of the meal that I found disappointing - medium rare was closer to medium, there wasn't as much marbling of the steak that I'd like (perhaps personal preference), but most of all, neither steak (and I tried some of my wife's for good measure) was anywhere near as juicy as expected. The salt and pepper seasoning was a little light on the steak, but this actually paired fairly well with the extra salty creamed NC collards, a Southern spin on a typical creamed spinach you'd find at a steakhouse. Word of advice, consider what you're pairing the collard greens with since it is very salty after all. The waiter had recommend a hearty helping of the bone marrow frites and it didn't disappoint. And finally, we were served a complementary key lime pie to celebrate our occasion and this was delicious as well. To wrap it up, we spent a fair amount and everything was up to or exceeding my expectations ... except the steaks. Being the feature presentation, it's a very big "except", but I will certainly come here again and see how it goes.

Came here for a business dinner. I have been to Oak in Charleston (a sister restaurant), and this was equally excellent. I had the crispy Brussels sprouts and the endive salad as a starter, and lamb chops for the main. Everything was outstanding, though the lamb chops were extremely small, especially given the price, and the fact that I could get 2x as much filet mignon on the same menu for the same price. I walked away from this meal still hungry, and regretting that I didn't get a steak instead. It is classy inside, typical steakhouse with dim lighting and dark wood everywhere and perfect staff. I had a nice night and would definitely eat here again, though I would get the steak next time. J.Ja

Great food, relaxing atmosphere. UPDATE: Oppressive reservation system requiring credit card hold with $25 PER PERSON penalty for any changes within 24 hours of the booking. Their side selection has also diminished, now lacking Brussels sprouts and other variety. I used to go monthly, but haven't been back since they made these changes.

We walked in this past Friday night around 6:45 PM and were lucky to snag two seats at the bar. What followed was an unforgettable dining experience. The 14 oz Prime Boneless NY Strip was cooked to perfection (med rare), and the au Poivre sauce was so exceptional that I had to ask for a second helping. The Beef-fat Fries were the ideal pairing for the steak--crispy and bursting with flavor. The Mac & Cheese was another standout, creamy with a delightful crunch from the breadcrumbs. To top it all off, the Oak Smoked Manhattan was hands down the best Manhattan I've ever had. Overall, this was easily one of the most memorable meals I've experienced!

Oak was a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Paul, was fantastic. I wish we could have him as our waiter every time! He gave great recommendations, was quick to answer questions and food was brought out in a quick timely manner. The food was fantastic. The hanger steak and bone marrow were a great pair to try together with the oak steak sauce, and the Mac and cheese was the perfect amount of cheesy. The bread and butter and oyster Rockefellers were great apps to try. Honestly could've done without one of those apps because at the end I was a comfortable full! The peanut butter and Oreo cream pie was the perfect birthday dessert, very rich but so yummy! Definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion!

Best steakhouse in town for sure Worth the price and a great atmosphere for date night!

I love the romantic ambiance of this restaurant. The beef wellington was delicious, but they have a limited number, so make your reservations for earlier in the evening if you want to make sure you get to try it. The food was delicious. The beet appetizer, the salted homemade roll and homemade ice cream were outta this world.

My coworker and I walked in without reservations and got seated at a high top near the bar which was perfect! The manager was so friendly and kind. The service was perfect. Attentive yet allowed us to indulge in our conversation without interrupting too much. The ambience is very cozy and warm. The food is amazing ! The bread is a MUST! My filet was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The brussle sprouts were so good. The dessert was so good and light and not too sweet! We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic meal tonight at Oak Steakhouse. Zach knew the menu well, was attentive to our needs and answered our questions completely. We had the NY Strip and Filet, both were cooked to perfection! The Caesar and pear salads were a great way to start our meal, the mushrooms and bone marrow frites complimented it well. The ambiance was calming and relaxed and we weren't rushed. Thanks for a great evening, we will be back.

We dined here last weekend for a family birthday and it was perfect! Our server could not have been nicer, and was on point for everything. The rest of the staff was also nice and I really love that they took into consideration our reservation requests. All of our steaks were cooked correctly, which was impressive for a party of 6. Really enjoyed our visit and will def be back for special occasions.

This place was great! A lovely ambiance- soft lighting and natural wood, really beautiful place! Food was excellent and the service was some of the best I've ever had. The prices were high (which was to be expected), so this is definitely a place for special occasions. The portions were also very large; we left with a whole bag of food. Would certainly come back!

had an incredible experience at Oak Steakhouse! such a beautiful restaurant. our waitress was knowledgable and friendly. the owner also checked in with us several times. everything was phenomenal, but the oysters were to die for. we will definitely be back!

Our first and hopefully not last visit to Oak was memorable! We were in town for the Thanksgiving weekend visiting our son stationed at Fort Liberty. John was our server and was attentive and proactive with his suggestions. And our food from the salads to the entrees were excellent. If you are looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion with a group or have a smaller party, I don't think you'll be disappointed with an experience at Oak.

I came here for my anniversary; this was one of the few nicer restaurants in Raleigh that was open on a Monday. Everyone we encountered was nice. When I made the reservation, they did ask for an occasion, but they didn't do anything for us during dinner so not sure why even ask. I ordered the beef Wellington since I had never had it before. I'm probably not the best person to judge since I'm not a big red meat eater, but overall the dish was ok, however, the sauce was AMAZING! My husband, who's a big red meat eater, said his steak was just ok. We ordered the creamed collards (I believe it was seasonal) and definitely recommend- so creamy and a little smoky. That was the most memorable dish of the night for me. The bone marrow frites were good. I was excited to try the deviled eggs with fried oysters. I thought it was a bit over the top and found that they ate like 2 separate items versus a cohesive dish. It was an overall pleasant experience, but they did not make my "go-to" list and would try out new restaurants before returning.

My daughter and I chose to have a lovely dinner at Oak Steakhouse on a beautiful weekday evening before going to see a show at The Duke Energy Center for Performing Arts. I made reservations well in advance, and we were seated right away at a lovely table by the window. Our server, Serene was wonderful. She started off with taking our drink orders. She then gave us time to look over the menu. She shared with us the mouthwatering specials, and then took our order. We were so excited to enjoy this experience. Our appetizer, a half dozen of the Oysters Rockefeller came out and not only looked delicious, but were the best Oysters Rockefeller I've ever had. And I order Oysters Rockefeller a lot. They were also pretty large in size, so that was exciting. They were so good we wished we had ordered a dozen. For our entrees, I order the Beef Wellington which was one of the specials, and my daughter had the smoked Peking Duck Breast. We ordered sides of roasted mushrooms and the bone marrow frites. The entrees and the bone marrow frites were amazing. The roasted mushrooms and the Mac and Cheese were just ok. I asked for an aioli to dip my fries in, and Serene suggested their freshly, made daily béarnaise, it was perfect! We were stuffed, but couldn't resist dessert. We decided to share the apple butter cheesecake. Wowsers, was it amazing. It was the perfect combination of flavors. The ice cream was equally delicious. Overall it was a lovely dining experience, but the best parts to me were the wine, the Oysters Rockefeller, the Duck, the Bone Marrow Frites, and the dessert! The service is top notch and the ambiance is lovely. I'd definitely go back again.

Recently dined in at Oak Steakhouse for the first time. We had early reservations and were seated a few minutes early. The ambiance is dark and moody but elegant and romantic. We had Eric as our server who was so attentive and made for a great experience. My husband had an old fashion which he said was delicious and I had a raspberry mocktail. It was very similar to a cosmo which is exactly what I was going for. We had a Caesar salad and the bib salad which were both phenomenal. My husband had the hanger steak paired with the chimichurri sauce and a side of Mac and cheese and it was delicious. I had the braised short rib. It was good, but I did find the meat to be a little more fatty than I was expecting. The polenta and baby carrots were delicious and overall it was a good meal. We had the cookie butter cheesecake which was very good and Eric brought out the vanilla homemade icecream to try which was so rich and delicious. He also brought us complimentary champagne with a candle for my birthday dinner. Our meal was very good and we loved our experience. We will definitely be back and will continue to stick with the steaks as they were the star of the show !

Amazing experience! The ambiance of this place is great - absolutely love the look of it, good amount of people dining here on a weekday night, noise level and lighting is great, and high top table was perfect for 2! The service was amazing - we were greeted so well by everyone. The host was very friendly and our waiter was great in recommending food, sharing stories, and being very friendly as well. The food was also delicious. The house bread and butter was AMAZING to me, and truly such a unique tasting bread that should absolutely be a staple to order here. The deviled eggs with crispy oyster and caviar was also great! I'm not sure if mine had oyster in it (I only felt/tasted the crunch) but it was still yummy and a cool menu item to try! Steak frites was great - a very large portion of fries and I could really taste the bone barrow on them! The steak itself was small, but flavorful. I would say it was even more flavorful than the filet mignon! The brussel sprouts were great and also came in a big portion! They were almost a bit sweet, and the nuts in there added a great touch as well. Lastly, they provided me a chocolate cake to go for my birthday which was SO generous and really sealed the experience for me. Thank you to Oak Steakhouse and the staff for this kind gesture and lovely dining experience! This is a great place to come for a special occasion!

Two words to describe this restaurant: Delicious and Sophisticated. For those who like high-end places to eat in Raleigh, this is it. I have been to this restaurant several times for business dinner meetings, and it never disappoints with its good selection of drinks and food. I ordered the dry-rubbed ribeye steak (photo), and it was juicy and with the perfect amount of salt. Our server was professional and friendly. Also, be ready to pay top $. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it in my opinion. What could be better: 1. Street parking is limited near the restaurant. There is a garage about a block away, so you will have to do a bit of walking if you park there. 2. Also, it's a bit dark inside. Overall, I like this place. I saved the best for last: The dessert. I ordered the coconut milk panna cotta, and it was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. 100% recommended. Definitely coming back!

Went with my bestie for her birthday and proceeded to stuff my face with all the things. Food was top tier as expected and all the staff was great.

Had a group of about 12 people for a birthday party for a friend. The wait staff was very personable, yet professional. They're happy to give a recommendation, yet allowed us the space to enjoy the group which I appreciate. My steak was ordered medium and it was ever so slightly more pink than I might normally desire but the flavor was still fantastic. I have to imagine this rivals some of the better Raleigh steakhouses. I'll certainly be back to celebrate another special occasion soon.

Looking for a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion? Oak Steakhouse-Raleigh should be at the top of your list. The dining room is nicely decorated with rich colors, perfect lighting, with a classy, elegant, and intimate feel from the moment you walk in. We had dinner reservation on a Friday night to celebrate a birthday and from the time we entered until the time we exited EVERY staff member made us feel special. When I tell you, everyone extended birthday wishes... I mean EVERYONE!! Birthdays are special and should be acknowledged... so kudos to Oak Steakhouse who knows how to do it right!!! Now, to the food, I must say, we did overindulge a tad bit (for first timers this is acceptable behavior). The oysters Rockefeller and deviled eggs (crispy oyster topping) were exquisite. We tried a sausage with potato cake appetizer as well, my friend didn't care too much for it, but I enjoyed it (the sauce has an acquired taste). I ordered the 10oz hanger steak and it was cooked perfectly!! My friend ordered the dry aged bone-in-ribeye, and it was cooked to perfection...worth every penny of that $110 price tag. We tried the NC collards and the crispy brussels sprouts for side dishes, and both were tasty and paired well with our entrees. Surely, we had leftovers the next day! The complimentary birthday dessert was chocolate based with morsels and marshmallows, graham cracker crust (s'more possibly) but I am uncertain. It was a fan favorite but a hard pass for me. Hands down, Oak Steakhouse was an awesome dining experience with delicious food. How have I not visited the Alexandria, VA location? Welp, bookmark added!

What a lovely restaurant with impeccable service. The Parker house rolls are just lovely. The steaks are perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Tables are spaced far enough apart that you can celebrate comfortably and the wine and cocktails are lovely. If you are lucky they'll have beef Wellington on the menu which is phenomenal. I only wish we had room for dessert. We were so full but the dessert menu is just so unique. It's clear their pastry chef cares and loves her job. Next time I go back I might have dessert first just so I can have room. That chef deserves credit for their fun and unique menu.

Incredible experience tonight at Oak Steakhouse in Raleigh. The service provided by the staff was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. Proactive, attentive to details, and really went out of their way to make sure you had an enjoyable experience. As for the food... excellent. I went with the hanger steak. It was very tender and cooked to perfection, which is rare in my opinion. We complimented our meal with the Parker rolls, which were baked in house and fresh. The pear salad was delicious. Two sides included the Mac and cheese and the marrow frites. Overall this is a 10 out of 10 experience for me! Thank you!
