Oak Steakhouse

We celebrated my birthday with dinner at The Oak last night and enjoyed an exceptional experience from start to finish. Service was a standout. Our server, John, was both attentive and personable, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. We began with cocktails at the bar; the Wright Flight, a gin creation, is particularly notable and highly recommended for enthusiasts of the spirit. The bone marrow appetizer set an impressive tone for the meal, rich and well-executed. For entrées, my husband opted for the ribeye, which arrived remarkably tender and deeply flavorful. I chose the confit duck—a dish that truly captured the essence of fall, both in presentation and taste. Desserts maintained the high standard. Think Espresso Martinis can’t get any better? Wrong- make it an affogato poured table side and you’ll be in heaven. The peanut butter pie delivered an elevated take on a classic. The evening concluded with a thoughtful touch: miniature banana breads presented alongside the check—an indulgence we savored with coffee the following morning. We left with The Oak now our leading recommendation for dining in Raleigh, and we look forward to returning soon.

My wife and I celebrated our two year anniversary and the night couldn’t have been more perfect. Oak Steakhouse was recommended to us since we are from CO and it hit every mark imaginable. The ambiance was relaxing and fun, our server, Cameron, was hilarious and knowledgeable, and the food was delectable. The smoked Manhattan was spot on, the shishito peppers were yummy, the pear salad was perfect for summer, the Beef Wellington was cooked perfectly and the Peanut Butter Pie was the perfect ending to go with our espresso martini. The GM, Nick, stopped by several times and you could tell that he truly cared about his guest’s experience and his staff. This restaurant has everything we were looking for on our special occasion and we would most certainly find any reason to revisit such a fun place.

Saturday night was my fourth visit to Oak Steakhouse in Raleigh. They continue to serve excellent food with the absolute BEST service anyone could ask for. I have a number of food allergies that make it very difficult to go out to eat. The staff at Oak Steakhouse are superb at communicating with me about my allergies and alerting me to anything that might be an issue. They even kept my allergy list on file from my first reservation a year ago and checked to make sure nothing had changed! I feel completely safe eating here, which is a very rare an precious thing indeed. Oh, and whatever you order, save room for dessert!

Loved our Anniversary dinner here! Excellent service, food, & atmosphere. We tried the Parker house rolls, deviled eggs, Caesar salad, filet, lamb shank, and chocolate cake!

My wife brought me for my birthday. I can’t speak highly enough regarding the service. Our server, Cameron and the Manager, Nicholas were top tier and deserve all the recognition. The entrees were beyond amazing I had the luxury of trying a beef Wellington while my spouse went for the Strip. Zero complaints. We will definitely return!

I went to Oak Steakhouse in Raleigh on the very first night of a recent trip, and I absolutely loved this spot. The interior is incredible, with a unique log cabin vibe that instantly makes you feel cozy and special, definitely unlike any other steakhouse I’ve been to. The steaks were exquisite, cooked to perfection, and the bone marrow was honestly one of the most memorable bites I’ve had all year. Beyond the food, the cocktails were expertly crafted, the service was attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere made for an exceptional dining experience. Oak Steakhouse is a must-visit if you find yourself in Raleigh! I highly recommend checking it out.

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.

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!

Back on September 9th some associates with the Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors were having dinner the night before our Global Summit taking place at RRAR's Cary headquarters. In attendance were members of the Exec Committee and a couple of guests including John McPherson, the 2025 President of NC Realtors. When we were ordering our meals I asked for a hamburger with no buns but with a lot of pickles on the side. I am trying to lose weight and I knew I would not be able to resist having a dessert so I figured ordering just the patti would help offset the dessert calories. We can rationalize a lot when we are trying to lose weight. Little did I know that the restaurant was out of pickles. Before I knew it the manager, Nicholas Papas, was standing next to me with a whole jar of pickles. He had actually run across the street to either a store or another restaurant and found a jar of hamburger dill pickles just so I could get the pickles I ordered. Everyone at the table was very impressed with what the manager had done. It was a great example of top notch service, of finding a way to give the customer what they desired. If Mr. Papas did that for someone who had never set foot in his restaurant before that night and something that he could have easily ignored I think he deserves more than 5 stars for his efforts. And the meals were all great too. The rest of the staff provided great service to me and my companions. I highly recommend Oak Steakhouse and if you like pickles like I do you won't be disappointed.

The food and service was amazing! Everything we tried was fantastic and would highly recommend.

First and foremost the service is phenomenal. Very attentive and informative. The food was also excellent. I had the: -New York strip 9/10 -beef tallow fries 9/10 -Cesar salad 9.5/10 (the addition of Calabrian chili honey is delicious) the two small individual appetizers were a oyster and a deviled egg with fried oyster on top and were both very good Would highly recommend the place if you are in need of a nice date night spot with a bigger budget! Overall food and experience 9.2/10

Heard this place was one of the top steakhouses in NC--can't say if it's the best, but it was definitely a solid meal. Service was a bit on the slower side and our server was just okay, not the warmest. For starters, we tried the bone marrow. It was good, though I've had better, and I wasn't a fan of the bacon mustard jam--probably just a personal preference since I lean more savory than sweet. For my main, I went with the steak frites. The steak was cooked just how I like it, tender with great flavor, and the bone marrow frites were excellent. We shared the mac and cheese, which was a disappointment. The texture was nice, but it wasn't very cheesy, had a slight sweetness to it, and came out lukewarm even though it was served in an iron skillet. Cocktails were another highlight. The "Belle Fleur" was refreshing, and the espresso martini was bold and hit all the notes you'd expect from a classic version.

We went here for a birthday dinner and by the look of the crowd this looked to be a great meal. While the atmosphere was great the meal was average. The Caesar was nothing special just because it had broccolini. The Mac & cheese was again just average and small being "for the table". Just sauce over pasta. The frites were tasty but just frozen fries. While I don't expect anything special recognition of the birthday would have been nice. It was also so loud we could not clearly hear our server or carry on a conversation. There was no sense asking her to repeat herself as we could never hear her. Our server acted as if we were not there I guess since big tables have big bills they get all the love. Not impressed with the Oak as there are other steakhouses in town

Overall: Very nice experience and exceptional service, great quality steak, other food was hit or miss. Husband and I visited for our wedding anniversary and had a lovely time. First and foremost, the staff were exceptional. Our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and felt like we could really take our time enjoying the night. The food in general was good, but some specifics: - Rolls are excellent. $8 is crazy but dang they are so good. I would always get these again despite the price. - Caesar salad: We were advised to split the "small" size for an appetizer and this was good advice as this salad is big! It is a very non-traditional Caesar with spicy honey and broccoli. I thought it was excellent and very unique. Be warned it is quite spicy. - Pork chop: Unfortunately this was just okay. The cook was a perfect medium and the meat quality was nice but it just lacked flavor overall. Would not order this again. - Dry aged bone-on ribeye: Excellent quality steak and perfect medium rare cook with a great crust. Probably the best quality steak we've had in Raleigh! Seasoning was simple and let the steak shine. - Mac and cheese: Good flavor but unfortunately texture was terrible. Sauce was too thick/not creamy and noodles were terribly overcooked, just falling apart. I feel like if we'd said something to the waiter he definitely would have replaced it, we just didn't mind enough to say anything but that was our choice. - Mashed potatoes: Fine/not memorable We were also blown away by the dessert menu! Some steak places sleep on dessert but the Oak really had a lot of creativity here. They had a baked Alaska that we weren't in the mood for but I will definitely be back to try as the other desserts were so good. - Chocolate cake: Really tasty and rich - huge slice! And served with a super sticky caramel gelato that was excellent. - Persimmon cheesecake: Very tasty and unique with sage sauce. Excellent texture.

My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner, and it was a great choice! Our server, James, made our experience even better. He was amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the oysters Rockefeller to try. And while I'm not a big oyster person, the topping on it was really good. For my entree, I had the boneless ribeye, and I can say it was probably one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was juicy and so full of flavor! I got a side of chimichurri, and that was the perfect addition. The sides are shareable, so we got mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was okay. But the mashed potatoes? Absolutely delicious! If I come back to the area, I'd definitely go back there. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Pretty expensive but food is really good, nice atmosphere and friendly people and staff

I just celebrated my 35th birthday at Oak Steakhouse. The restaurant is so beautiful. I made reservations for myself. I celebrated alone, but the service that I received was top tier. From the nice hostess, to the server, & especially the manager, Keri (I pray I spelled her name correctly). Everyone was soo sweet & the manager was nice of enough to take pictures of me & all. The food was amazing!!! 10/10!!! I would definitely return when I'm in the area. Keri really made my night special!!! I'm so grateful!!! Thank everyone for everything!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The food was great! Husband and I had the NC shrimp cocktail, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, bone marrow frites, and he also had the 16oz prime boneless ribeye. It was our anniversary and they made the night very special, even had a vase and flowers we got to take home. Greg was our server, he was attentive and was quick to get what we needed. The manager Carly even came to greet us and congratulate us. The greeting staff was great and kind. The ambiance was very nice, mellow and beautiful lighting. It was trying a night to remember!

We had such a wonderful experience at Oak Steakhouse! Our server, Greg, was fantastic--very knowledgeable and every recommendation he made was spot on. We shared the Ribeye, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The Caesar salad is not your typical Caesar, but it was a delicious twist that we really enjoyed. The deviled eggs topped with fried oysters is a staple and absolutely delicious. The ambiance is beautiful, and all of the servers were friendly and welcoming, even sharing some of their favorite menu items with us. For dessert, do not skip the Peanut Butter Pie--it was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Highly recommend Oak Steakhouse--you will not be disappointed!

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.

In short, Incredibly overrated. We decided to celebrate our sons 18th birthday here - terrible decision. Pros: nice ambience and the waiter was great. Con's: uncomfortable chairs, the Mac and cheese literally had no taste and finally all steaks (different cuts) were barely edible. I felt guilty spending so much on a steak and not eating it, but I just couldn't eat it. All four of us were so disappointed and none of us understood the hype this restaurant receives. The meal was a complete waste of $400 - we would've had a better meal at just about any fast food restaurant. I felt awful for my son, what a waste of an 18th birthday celebration. The best part of the meal was the bread.

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.

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

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!

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!

Great steak! Overall my favorite steakhouse in Raleigh. Quality of the steak beats angus barn, Sullivans, etc. in the area.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
