We love the food here. We most recently had brunch and the service was absolutely terrible. No host ~~ six people waiting in line ahead to check in (one couple left) at the empty host stand so that took over ten minutes. The person who seated us was never seen again. Another 10-15” to order. After tables seated after us were getting their drinks, had to flag down our server to get our ordered coffee. Once again, the Beignets that are on the menu were not available. Our food, when it finally arrived, was delicious. Another agonizing wait to get our check. They were clearly understaffed and sadly this seems to be common but we are discouraged about returning anytime soon.
We had a great time, it was early so it was quiet. The food was good, though I ordered a plate with mashed potatoes, I did not get mashed potatoes. Instead I got roasted potatoes. I was actually looking forward to the mashed so I was a little disappointed. Other than that the service was good and the food was delicious!
The food was excellent. Unfortunately, they were under staffed. The staff worked as fast as they could, glad we were not in a hurry.
Host and staff were nice but food was blah and overpriced. Room was loud as there were a large party of patrons enjoying cocktails. We did find it odd that at 6pm, dinner hour, there were a total of three tables sat. Overall probably a one and done. Sorry
Went with six people for brunch and we shared food. Everything was tasty but the breakfast sando and Monte Cristo were the standouts.

What a great hidden gem. The only thing that surprised us was that it wasn't more crowded. Food was excellent, service was just right! The vibe was very good, sophisticated with an industrial edge. Loved the brickwork and a magnificent bar.
They weren't even offering service at the time of our reservation and said it was a mistake so I had to ask them not to charge us. They were only open as a bar and said there was no brunch available despite it being listed on open table as a spot. We drove up from San Diego and this was our first stop so huge bummer it wasn't open.
Finally made it over to Oak Grill to try their Happy Hour. Service was excellent, prices were solid, fries delicious, and both shrimp ceviche & crab roll were good. Thank you!
A group of 7 of us had brunch here recently and found it to be a wonderful experience. All of us thought our entrees were wonderful. Several of us ordered eggs Benedict, one classic and two veggie variations. We all ordered the eggs to be poached medium and were perfectly done. The hollandaise sauce was also delightful and the presentation lovely. One of the best eggs Benedict I've had. The fresh fruit side was a bowl of strawberries and blackberries, which was a nice complement. Note that the automatic gratuity for the group was set at only 10%, which we all increased, kinda unfair to the wait staff. Regardless, we will be back.
Oak Grill was so good! Honestly better than I even expected. every single thing we ordered was insanely good. the chef back there really knows what he's doing. Not cheap, but what is anymore? I got a pressed juice made from golden beets and pineapple that was INSANELY good. the breakfast sandwich was delicious and the beignets were to die for. I want to go back back for dinner and see what they have to offer. our server was also great & so sweet!

Food was under-seasoned, but they provided sauces and seasonings on request. Great ambiance, quiet - nice to sit and talk with a friend. They can accommodate large groups.

Went for Mother's Day brunch. Waiter and time to get food were subpar and took over an hour to get food from kitchen and restaurant was only 3/4 full! Never refilled water during the entire hour wait or check to get addditional beverages. Food was above average and good!
We went to Oak Grill to celebrate an engagement and it was so perfect! The stuffed French toast was amazing as well as the avocado toast. Service was so good, we will definitely be returning!

The reason for noise level was there was a wedding group of about 40 people and with all of them talking it was hard for us to have a conversation. Of course this is not going to happen every night. We will go back though, the food was excellent and service excellent also.
