Went here for the first time for Father's Day and had a great meal! All the food was delicious -- some of the best bruschetta and chicken parmesan I've had, and the seafood lovers were happy with their meals. The server (Savannah) was very sweet and not trying to rush us or churn tables at all (could have been a bit quicker at some points tbh). We'll definitely be back!

My wife and I recently moved to the area and I've tried most of the local restaurants but wanted to try this one. We love Italian I thought this would be great. We really wanted to like it. First let's start with the food, they say they're Northern Italian restaurant but had no Northern Italian dishes like risotto or even a variety of pasta. Almost everything had mushrooms in it even when it is not supposed to. The carbonara had asparagus and mushrooms which you would never see in Italy again with the mushrooms. The garlic bread was a hoagie roll from a local grocery store partly toasted. There was a lot of fish on the menu. The safe bet was the chicken parmesan the chicken was okay but the pasta was so salty we did not eat it. The wine list was fairly good and we did have a barbaresco at a very reasonable price that was the highlight of the evening

We had a great experience at The Oar House! The steak and calamari were absolutely perfect—definitely the highlights of our meal. The spaghetti was just okay, but everything else made up for it. Our waiter was super friendly and professional, making us feel welcome the whole time. We really enjoyed sitting outside on a cool day—the outdoor area is lovely. Inside, the decor is warm and inviting, though the smell of food can be a bit strong. Prices are on the higher side, but overall, we had a wonderful time. It’s a great spot to treat yourself once in a while!

The food and service is good. They had a patio band that made it interesting. Only negative was food prices are high. Be prepared to spend $25 a person easy.

It was a memorable Mother's Day treat to have brunch at Oar House

Very pleasant dinner at the Oar House. The food was quite good. I had the filet in cognac sauce and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the veal and it was excellent. Hearts of palm salad was fine, if bland. Mousse cake was good.

What a great meal - with awesome service! (Thanks to Jenna and the while team!). They really spoiled us with service - very attentive to details - water glass never made it to less than half, great garlic bread that kept coming! Meals were all amazing! Pollo Agilo Olio, Pollo Parmigiano, Rombo Al Granchio ( Halibut with crab meat), Tricia Al Burro (red snapper with lobster). All delicious!!! Highly recommend enjoying a fabulous dinner here!

The Oar House was the choice for the ladies luncheon this month.
The service was impeccable and the staff was superb!
The menu was fantastic and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Many thanks to the manager Will and the staff for handling our large group.
I’m looking forward to coming back again soon.
