“Oak + Violet is one of the best restaurants I've dined at in years. The food is prepared with imagination and great care. They specialize in locally sourced food which adds so much flavor and freshness to their dishes. They offer a wide variety of wines, even if you order by the glass. The service was great too.“

“Wonderful, as always. We get there about every 3 or so years when we are in town. Our server Alejandro was extremely helpful and highly knowledgable about the menu and potential allergy issues. Don't fill up with gas at the station across the street it was $6.39 a gallon.“

“The food was excellent and the service was great.“

“Beautiful venue - food was amazing!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. My wife and I took our three month old baby there for breakfast one morning and everything was delicious! Especially the coffee! The place is very well designed with high-end tables and chairs and decorations. The overall feel of the building on the inside and out is well thought of plan and placed well

Our only complaint was our waitress. She seemed like she could give a rip about anything. When asking some simple questions about the items on the menu she practically rolled her eyes to go ask the chef some questions. When we were finished with our meal, she came back with the check and we asked her if we could have another coffee, and I swear that I was either pulling her teeth or torturing her by asking for another coffee. She kind of grunted and slowly walked back to get what we had asked for. Our whole overall experience would have been awesome if it was not for the service. I highly recommend finding new help.

Also, there were only six customers total in the entire place (including my wife, and I ) when we were there. She was not being overworked or overwhelmed…. she literally hated every moment of being there from what we could tell.“

“First time there in years. Greeted warmly, seated at a lovely table. Drink orders and appetizers were taken and delivered immediately. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was as good as they get. I think her name was Cassie. I will go again.“

“We love everything about Stacks... the food, the atmosphere, the staff. It couldn't be a more welcoming place. Breakfast there is our favorite...wonderful pancakes, omelets, fruit, and breakfast meat. We're often out of town and one of our first events when we're back, is breakfast at Stacks!“

“We had a lovely lunch. Food and service were excellent!“

“My wife and I went there for breakfast and the food was absolutely delicious. Good variety on their menu and the service was absolutely great. I had the crabcakes eggs Benedict and my wife had the banana macadamia nut coconut, pancakes, My wife and I will definitely be going here more often and I definitely recommend it to anyone.“

“Friendly and helpful staff, great environment, attentive. my first time having Caribbean food and got the jerk chicken, the extra sauce is highly recommended for the extra kick.“

“The atmosphere is awesome, and the food is great! I love the car theme that is going on throughout the restaurant, and they have delicious burgers and good fish and chips. Their portions are always well sized, and it is almost always busy as it has become a staple within the area. I look forward to visiting again soon!“
