Made a reservation here because we liked the idea of a 4 course tasting menu and trying new things. It was nice enough inside but could've looked better with tablecloths and better centerpieces. Not leaving the door to the supply closet open the whole time would've helped atmosphere too. Also, having the bar so close to the table with the server standing at it most of the time, made us feel like we had to whisper to have a private conversation or discuss the food. Server was nice enough but would represent the caliber of the menu better if she dressed in something other than jeans and a tshirt. Also, she forgot our silverware until the second course, when we asked. Food itself was a mix of OK and LOVE, no hate. Some things were absolutely amazing , while others were cooked well but slightly overseasoned. Can't really rate this place on the food though because they do a different menu every day! I would still love to try this place again and give it another shot, just not for a special occasion again, since it was too informal feeling for that.

The chef's table is not yo be missed. Seated around a small kitchen, you will have the choice of three options for each of four courses at a set price.
Hubby and I enjoyed every dish which ran the range from kimchee and cucumber salad, lions main mushrooms, oysters, and home made pastas. We each had different choices for each course for a total of 8 dishes and everything was made to order and fantastic thanks to chef Dan.
The view out the windows led to the river and their were triva cards on the counter which made for extra fun in the dinner conversation.
This time we were just passing through but we will be back again with a plan to linger longer.
We each had a cocktail and a glass of wine plus tge tasting menu... all for just over $200 total which is a fraction of the price we would have paid for the same experience in Boston.

Eli the chef was excellent. He prepared the entire restaurant patrons entrées that night and did it pleasantly and skillfully. We sat at the “bar”in back which wasn’t romantic or scenic since the windows faced the river and it was the official”kitchen” area and there were cooking items on the seals of windows so couldn’t see out that but well the chef made it all worthwhile with his excellent delicious dishes and we left completely satisfied. If you want a date night table ask when you reserve.

Have been coming to oak table for a few years now. Dan and Eli are amazing. We always choose the chefs table. This is our special place 1-2 times a year and it never disappoints. The food is amazing. I HATE mushrooms and Eli has convinced me I just hate the way other people cook them. Just celebrated 4 years of coming here and our anniversary. Thank you guys for being great.

well... first this is a 2 year old experience and the place might have changed. I remembered because we're at the pizza place next door.
we live in nyc and I've been to amazing tasting menus at places like per se and have always left pleasantly filled as well as wowed by the food.
while the level of flavors textures and ingredients at the oak table were of the same par... the number of dishes times the portion size left everyone at our table looking for probably twice the amount of food.

I honestly didn't expect to find world class dining so close to home. My wife and i chose the Oak Table for our anniversary and we were happy we did. We sat at the Chefs table and chatted with Chef Dan as he prepared four courses with simple and precise flavors. Simple does not mean pedestrian. Just that each dish knows what its meant to accomplish and sets out for it with astounding focus. I would be remiss to forget the cocktails which were a flavor experience in and of themselves. We will be going back for next anniversary.

Everything was perfect
What a fantastic find in the heart of Augusta! The Oak Table & Bar delivers a perfect blend of upscale dining and warm, welcoming service. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed—great for a night out or a special occasion. The menu features creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. The craft cocktails were equally impressive, with a great selection that complements the food beautifully.
The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell there’s real pride in both the kitchen and the front of house. If you’re looking for a refined dining experience in Augusta, The Oak Table & Bar is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!
My son and daughter-in-law took my wife, myself and friends out to dinner here for a special occasion. I can honestly say that the food, service and atmosphere (they rented the entire restaurant) were absolutely special. This is a quality experience that everyone should indulge in.
Their burger is hands down the best I’ve had in the area. Juicy, thick, and the bun didn’t get soggy. Fries were crispy too, not like those sad limp ones some places serve. Staff was chill and the vibe was good. I'm telling my friends about it for sure.
A wonderful atmosphere and delicious choices. The $99 offering for a couple to split the first three courses and then an individual choice for the fourth course is a great deal.
