About The Oaks Restaurant and Tearoom

The Oaks Restaurant and Tearoom is a popular spot known for its excellent menu and friendly staff. It combines a breakfast joint, serving until 4pm, with classic pub fare including hamburgers, salads, soup, and wraps. The chicken parmesan and fish and chips are highly recommended, served in large portions and cooked beautifully. Located in the oldest building in the village, the restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with oak panels lining the walls and stunning ocean views. It is famous for serving the best brownies in town and provides a good selection of grilled items. After 2pm, guests can enjoy an English-inspired tea service in proper tea cups with saucers, adding to the comforting vibe. The menu is full of comfort food, and the atmosphere feels like visiting grandparents' house for dinner—quaint without being stuffy, worn without being shabby. The restaurant is a fun local scene off the beaten track, making reservations in advance a good idea, especially when a band is scheduled to play. While service can be casual, it is often attentive, and guests have had great experiences here despite some busy times.
