We had our first Oak to Ember experience the other night, and we’re generally favorably impressed. The cocktails were excellent,m - I think I have found a new favorite in The Buzz - and the tuna tartare appetizer was terrific, served with house-made potato chips which was a really nice touch… and there were enough of them!!. It disappeared fast enough that I failed to get a picture of it, but it was ample.
Our dinners were very good - loved the ribs, and my wife liked the salmon very much. The flourless chocolate cake had good flavor but was more dry and less “fishy” than I hope for in my hard-core chocolate desserts ;-) but we had no problem finishing it.
Topping it all was the excellent service from Davia and Jackson, who were knowledgeable, on top of things (we never wanted for water), and engaging for the whole evening.
We will definitely be back!

This place has something for everyone! Our table had eggs Benedict with fried potatoes that were out of this world. The huevos rancheros included hand made soft tacos (corn or wheat) and the coffee is good too!

Great place for a nice breakfast, eggs Benedict were perfect. Wishing they had hot chocolate on a raining morning like it was today.

We had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but both the food and the service were very mediocre. While the calamari was good, the burger was small for $22. Overall there is nothing special about the food. Our waitress also brought our check super early. The menu and prices on the website were also different than at the restaurant, so overall we were not impressed.

Had a great lunch. View at outdoors tables was nice. Service was good.
Excellent all around. We went here twice during our beach trip for dinner. I love a resturant that puts their kitchen on display. Great kids menus. You can tell they make the fish sticks/chicken strips fresh even for kids. Kids Chicken comes in a little chicken basket which my daughter loved. High caliber food and design. Friendly service. You can tell they have it together.

Stumbled across this restaurant just while enjoying a walk downtown. The herbed sour dough focaccia with sun-dried tomato butter was the best focaccia we have ever had! Wow! Also the clam pasta and ribs with sausage were so smoky and good too! Had a delicious hibiscus and cinnamon drink which was so refreshing!

Yum!!! We had the shrimp cocktail (4), Ceasar salad, scallop risotto, and the spice cake split between two people. I skipped lunch and was still really full. Even though the resturaunt was busy we were seated quickly around 6:00 pm and I had a great view of the full moon over the water. Would have loved to come back and try the other menu options.

After a day of whale watching, my wife and I wanted to sit down to a good meal and cocktails. We’re so glad we came upon Oak to Ember. Every moment from when we sat down to the moment we walked out the door, was memorable. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. The service and ambiance were equally special. We live in NY but we’re already talking about going back. Best dining experience we’ve had in a long time. Thanks OTE!

Amazing service and even better food with a nice setting and atmosphere. I had the pork chop and I don’t think I’ve ever had a better pork chop in my life. Legitimately some of the best food I’ve ever had and a great experience overall!
Focaccia, burger, and fish & chip were excellent!
