My fiance and I ate here for Valentine's Day, incredible experience!!! The service was excellent, everyone was very welcoming. We had some nice people eating next to us recommending the best dishes as they were regulars. Our food oh my gosh it was absolutely delicious and beautiful!!! The atmosphere was cute and fun too! Highly recommend, great for a date night!

The food here is so flavorful and artfully prepared with attention to details including colors and textures as well as flavor. It's a delightful experience to eat here. We love how we never feel rushed when we come and can just savor everything.

Oakley’s Bistro was a miss for us.
It started awkwardly when the server refused to offer a small taste of the house wine, explaining that “people would just come in and taste wine.” That set the tone—rigid where a little hospitality would have gone a long way.
The food followed the same pattern. Overworked and overthought. The kale and spinach salad had real potential, but it was drowned under melted brie sauce that overwhelmed everything else. Not as bad as it sounds but instead of balance, it felt heavy and confused.
There’s clearly effort here, but execution matters. Simpler choices, more restraint, for me

So had lunch club at Oakleys Bistro today, had dinner there several times but never lunch. Found the menu surprisingly reasonable with most options $15 or less. Had to try the shrimp corndogs which beat Booby Flay. We were not disappointed, honey mustard was a perfect sauce. We shared the Wild boar Sloppy Joe and the wild mushroom stroganoff. Both were amazing. Left with take home dinner as well and spent under $35. Needless to say we will be back.

Customer service from front desk - unfriendly and unwelcoming (no smiles, super serious, hands me my check to sign for my pick up order and walks away). Food - 2nd time in one week ordering decided to try something different and it’s still too salty for myself, my husband, and friend. Ordered 6 different items and all too much salt. Wish we could get our money back.

We always enjoy a dining experience at Oakleys. The food is delicious and innovative. They have a great wine selection and the dining room is very cozy.

Everyone in our party was happy with their dish. It is apparent that they curate each dish-fantastic! It is a small dining room, so can be a bit noisy, but tolerable.

First timer. Been wanting to eat here for awhile now and finally tried it for lunch today. My wife and I were completely underwhelmed. Their “house made” Manhattan tasted like straight vermouth. Didn’t taste any whiskey. The meatloaf was one of the worst I’ve ever had. It was dense and rubbery. Didn’t taste fresh at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made a day or two ahead and then reheated. It tasted just like leftovers taste. The wild boar sloppy Joe sounded much better than it tasted. I wanted to like everything so bad because the menu is truly unique. And they do a great job with presentation. But I can’t say I’ll ever be back. Literally nothing we had met expectations.

A new favorite! It seems like they really take pride in their food, and the menu options were really great. The presentation was really valued! We got a recommendation from a friend and are so glad we did. Oakleys bistro will definitely be on our special occasion meal rotation.

Although I had made the reservation 19 days in advance and had requested a booth so we would have some privacy as my wife is quite ill we were seated at a table adjacent to a party of about 20 diners. As a result we had little privacy and the noise from the large group was intrusive.
Service was pleasant but VERY slow. We had salads which were good but way too expensive, especially for the size. Not good value for dollar. Will not return.

We normally have great food and service here. For some reason, neither was very good. Ambience and setting remain the same and it is a good place for conversation.

Oakley's continues its tradition of innovative, expertly prepared dishes, warm and professional service, and inviting ambience. Specials are always interesting, and soups are typically exceptional.

Food was outstanding. However the noise level was very high. When we made the reservation we had requested a table in quiet area. We were given a table next to a party of 15 celebrating a birthday. When we asked to be seated at another table they said that was not possible even though there were unoccupied tables in quieter location.

Oakley's continues to shine! Met a buddy of mine there for a weeknight dinner, and it was wonderful. The food was to Steven's wonderful normal, and the service left nothing missing. Great bottle of French Chardonnay too!
