About The Charred Oak Tavern

The Charred Oak Tavern offers a variety of dishes, with differing opinions on their quality. While the chicken sandwich has been criticized for being dry, and the seafood bisque, once famous for its light pink cherry wine sauce and lobster, now contains only scallops and shrimp in a darker brown sauce, there are standout dishes. The fried scallop plate, mussels over pasta, and sticky toffee pudding have received positive feedback. Recently, the Lamb Lollipops and Cajun Fried Lobster have also been highlighted as must-try items, with the lobster being praised for its spicy-sweet delight and perfectly paired sides.

Service is a highlight of the restaurant, featuring attentive and friendly waitstaff who are knowledgeable about the menu. On a busy Saturday night, food took a while to be served, but the restaurant quickly addressed any issues, ensuring a pleasant experience. The tavern boasts a well-stocked bar with a great whiskey selection and cold beers on tap. The Dark Arts Whiskey Flight and Eagle Rare Chocolate Maple Old Fashioned have also been praised for their rich flavors.

Parking is convenient with plenty of spaces at the rear entrance. While some aspects of the food have received mixed reviews, the impeccable service, cozy atmosphere, and impressive drinks make The Charred Oak Tavern a worthwhile dining option. Guests can look forward to nightly specials, making it an inviting place to return to.
