Fort Oak is a restaurant in San Diego featuring a classic indoor-outdoor setup. The food is good, with enjoyable vegetable dishes like roasted carrots and caulilini, and the ahi tartare is highly recommended, praised for its impressive flavor with capers, zest, oyster mayonnaise, and egg yolk. The roasted caulilini is well executed, with excellent char and sauce, and the roasted carrots are thoughtful and delicious. The New York strip steak is a good entree, though some noted the cut and cooking could be better, and they prefer some potato element with their steak. The pasta special (Honey Garlic Sriracha) with shrimp is described as divine, with a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Cocktails like Camaro and Durango are highly praised, while whisky sour is good but felt overpriced at $25.
The service is generally great, with staff being awesome and attentive. The ambiance is nice and welcoming, and some dishes may be too spicy for certain diners. Portions are not very large, which may affect perceived value, but the food is prepared simply yet perfectly. Diners have enjoyed early dinners before busy hours, and some have had wonderful experiences with friendly greetings from staff. However, drinks can be very slow to arrive, which can be frustrating despite potentially saving money. Overall, Fort Oak offers high-quality food in a charming setting, making it a place worth returning to.
