Oak Culture
Whenever we vacation, we *rarely* ever go to the same restaurant twice, as we'd much rather diversify our dining options in order to sample what the area has to offer.
However, after just one breakfast here at Oak Table, we were hooked and knew we had to come back for a 2nd day.
The Good:
*Coffee is delicious and served with real cream the way it should be.
*Server John is the real star of this joint and is fantastic at his job. He hustles, checks on you and has time to carry a conversation when the restaurant is slow, of course. Whatever they're paying him--double it!
*Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes! All three types (buttermilk, 49er, Apple) of pancakes we sampled were absolutely incredible! If I had to choose a favorite, it would be a toss-up between the buttermilk and 49er, but maybe a slight edge to the 9er for its incredible texture and concomitant Lingonberry jam.
*Their breakfast potatoes are some of the best I've ever had: crispy, perfectly seasoned and lots of caramelized onions slipped in-between the taters.
*Quiche du Jour was fully loaded with goodies; the crust was crisp and bursting with buttery flavor.
*The restaurant has a homey vibe, classy, old-timey décor and lots of locals to keep it interesting.
The Meh:
*Their bacon came with a lot of hype, but honestly, it was just OK. I've had much better elsewhere.
The Ugly:
*They're in Sequim and not near me... :'( Which, in hindsight, is probably a good thing since I'm already morbidly obese, these guys would be the death of me--a delicious, sweet death but death nonetheless.
TLDR: If you're staying/visiting/live in the Port Angeles/Sequim area, then run--don't walk here! Plus, running will burn more calories and you can eat more. :8) *oink oink*
