“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!”“

The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere with live music was incredible, and the entire team was exceptionally professional, making the evening feel so special.

A special thank you to Aman — 100% out of 100%! His service was outstanding. I never had to remind him of anything; he anticipated our needs, paid attention to every detail, and understood us without a word.

Thanks to the entire Ethno team, I now have one more beautiful memory that I will cherish for years to come. Besides, their team created a very nice video of our celebration!
Thank you for making my birthday so unforgettable! ❤“

2. Drinks are soooooo good. Like incredibly delicious and not overly bitter or too sweet.
3. Service is so nice here. Literally such kind and helpful staff.
4. The karaoke machine is so easy to navigate and use. And the fact that most days out of the week, the rooms are free to use for one hour before 10pm. I have been there twice now and I have enjoyed every single thing about this place.
5. I love the atmosphere.“

This place is pure gold!“
