Exceptional drinks and food, the in house cocktails are the best in RDU. A vast selection of bourbon too.
My husband and I have been coming to The Oak at least once a year since 2021, and we love it! The food and drinks somehow get better every year. It will forever be our favorite spot in Raleigh!
Thank you so much for making our anniversary special! The espresso baileys martinis were divine. Shrimp cocktail was great- shrimp were a bit small but cooked well(one was a bit of a moody texture) and the sauces were delicious. Beef Wellington and bone in ribeye were cooked to perfection and delicious. Chocolate cake was amazing- the ice cream on the side paired perfectly with it. This was our second visit and we look forward to returning.

Visitors often praise the attentive and friendly service, with many highlighting standout staff members who make the experience special. The restaurant features a lovely, polished interior with a courtyard patio that is dog-friendly, making it a great spot for both casual and special occasions.
The menu offers a variety of creative dishes and drinks made with locally sourced ingredients. The brunch menu on Sundays is particularly popular, with favorites like Brisket Hash and Banana Foster French toast.

For starters, hummus and bread pudding are well-loved, and the variety of delectable items makes choosing difficult. The restaurant’s drinks are also highly praised, with suggestions tailored to different tastes, and the house bourbon is a special recipe unique to The Oak.
The food consistently impresses, especially dishes like Tuna Tartare, Mac & Cheese, and Seared Tuna, which showcase high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. The Pork Belly with coleslaw is crispy and tender, with a good balance of flavors. Some dishes, such as the smoked salmon avocado toast and pork belly benedict, may vary in preference but still receive positive feedback overall.
The Oak Raleigh is appreciated for its creative scratch kitchen, distinctive flavors, and exceptional service, making it a favorite spot for both food lovers and those seeking a friendly, inviting environment.
