About Oak & Coal

Oak & Coal offers a unique dining experience in the Oak Room. The restaurant serves a variety of small plates, including garlic noodles and lamb shanks, which are kid-friendly. The menu features tasty dishes like wagyu lettuce wraps, steamed chicken lemongrass dumplings, mixed veggies, lamb chops, chicken potstickers, and a shrimp noodle dish. The bar in the back is highly recommended, with friendly and creative bartenders who make excellent drinks, including a popular chocolate espresso martini. The restaurant has a cozy vibe, especially in the back bar area, which guests often request for a more relaxed atmosphere. Service is first class whether eating at the bar, table, or in the back room with a full bar. The space is small but perfect for casual dinners or date nights, and guests can go in jeans and a sweater without over-dressing. It is wheelchair accessible and has ADA parking, though parking can sometimes be a challenge. During busy weekends, the restaurant can be crowded and waiting times may be longer, but the experience is worth it. The restaurant is kid-friendly during the week in the front area and ideal for a mom-approved date night or night out with friends.
