This little place wasn't top of mind for no reason in particular. Every time we went, we enjoyed it. We went back and we certainly won't wait so long to be back again. Everything was great.

Great variety of dishes! Enjoyed all of them. Decent selection of wine. Only one person serving so good coming out was a bit slow as all tables were full. Really enjoyed this restaurant. Have been twice now and would definitely recommend and return!

I love going here because of the atmosphere and choice of tapas items. The Tapas Bravas is a must have! A nice, intimate setting.

Unexpectedly lovely restaurant. Wonderful food, particularly the bison and the heritage tomato salad. Relaxed, friendly and attentive service.

Went to Tapas on Oak and was very excited. Arrived to find 1 server and 1 person in the kitchen. Took 30 mins to get bread. Ordered 5+ tapas and it took forever for the food to arrive. Was spaced out very poorly and wasn’t an idea dining experience.It was a Saturday night at 7:30 and they were out of 4 dishes from a limited menu. I don’t usually review places ever but due to the disappointment I felt I should warn others.

This place is dangerously good! Dangerous because it is so good and it is walking distance for my wife and I, so it’s hard not to make it a weekly venue. The food is amazing, yes all of it. There are still a couple dishes we have not tried, but I am positive they will be delicious. All the sauces etc are made in-house and amazing, the bison combined with the bread to soak up the marinade will make you want to do a Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. The Chef (Jason?) and front-of-house manager and host extraordinaire Trinity are the only two staff. How they can put out such consistently good food and be so attentive and customer focused boggles my brain. Oh, did I mention 1/2 price wine Wednesdays? Boom…mic drop! 🎤
Second time dining at Tapas on Oak. Amazing food and wine! Trinity, the front-house manager is so attentive and such a great personality. She was able to recommend some great menu suggestions. Her ability to serve her customers in a friendly manner and be the single person handling all the tables and do it with great humour is a tribute to her customer service skills. The tapas options are amazing; thanks Jason for the wonderful cuisine! Your ability to do all of this as the sole chef is a testament to your culinary skills.
Our table of 3 really enjoyed the crab cakes, chicken karage, prawn risotto, bread with garlic butter, dumplings, bison tenderloin (wow!!!), and. patates bravas. Also the ginger cake was delicious. Thank you and we raised many glasses to the wonderful food, wine, service, and atmosphere.
Update: My husband and I have dined here multiple times. Service, food, and drinks are always exceptional! In addition to the above great choices, we also recommend the Szechuan style green beans, Tuna tataki, and the tacos .
This is one of our favourite places, please show them some ❤️!
Dan, you have a great restaurant and a wonderful team. Thank you !

Absolutely love this place. Dan and Trinity were incredible hosts for my Mom’s 86th birthday. Really felt so homey in there and the food was excellent. Thank you!

I had the Duck Spring Rolls and the Prawn Risotto. Both delicious. The coffee was also really good. And Trinity was THE BEST hostess/server. I will be back!
