I have had this place saved in my “need to go” bookmarks forever now and last night I finally went, and I’m so glad I did!

10/10! We found this place on Yelp and decided to go for a late Wednesday night dinner at 9pm. Got the Fig+Burrata+Prosciutto flat bread, Ravioli Sampler with Sage Cream Sauce, and Peach Turnover. Everything was INCREDIBLE. We were expecting slightly-above-average foods and got amazing, well-balanced, perfectly cooked everything! The flat bread was soft, as we prefer. And also worked well for dipping in the sage cream sauce. The raviolis were well portioned, but the true highlight was the sage cream sauce. I’ve never had one like it, it was so delicious. And the peach turnover gave me churro-cinnamon sugar tastes, and reminded me of a funnel cake. Get the peach turnover! My partner also ordered the El Vaquero drink and they accidentally made him the Desperado. But they remedied it by giving him the mistake drink for free, and making him the El Vaquero anyways. The staff was so helpful in guiding us through the menu and everything they recommended was exceptional!

This establishment is in the heart of downtown Carlsbad. Plenty of shopping and good food around here! My wife and I came here for dessert so I can’t review any of the other items on the menu. The “death by chocolate” was delicious. It wasn’t overloaded with richness like most super chocolate desserts and it had a raspberry syrup and blackberries right on top to give it some tartness. Atmosphere is where this place shines. Beautiful green walls and adequate lighting. Only one single person bathroom but it’s not too large of a building so I don’t see that being a problem with the exception of busy weekend nights. I’ve heard that the drinks are amazing here even though I wasn’t able to try any. I enjoyed the visit and I will be back to try other items on the menu!

Great service, good wine list, fun cocktails and beautiful place. Definitely worth the visit. We went on a date night but looks super fun for a girls night out as well!

Came here at 8ish on a Saturday night, sat on the patio under the heaters. Tried their whiskey sour and fertile myrtle cocktails, really tasty!

This is a pretty nice place. Couldn’t fault anything really, good and drinks were above par. I have tried a few restaurants around state st , but keep coming back to Oak Elixir.

My wife and I went to OAK + Elixir last night and had a wonderful evening. Our server Becca is one of the owners and she made our experience simply delightful. Becca allowed us to sample several different wines before we decided on one bottle.

Really bummed because this used to be my go to spot with my friends once or twice a week but my boyfriend sat on the patio today during the farmers market to wait for me to walk over and meet him there so we could order food and drinks and the servers very rudely kicked him off the patio. He had a container of food from the market that he opened to snack on while he was waiting (oak and elixir wasn’t open for another 5 minutes). They could have asked him to close the lid/put the food away instead of being super rude and fully kicking him off. Ruined our evening plans and probably won’t be back 🙁 they do have great cocktails/food but the service needs some help.

I LOVE this place and the staff. I was planning to have my wedding reception here in 2020 and then COVID hit. The team was fantastic all along the way as we tried to reschedule. I was finally able to hold a smaller reception dinner with family here this summer. Not only was the room absolutely stunning but the food was delicious! I live out of state but Oak + Elixir will forever be on my list of places to stop when I am in town. Highly recommend! Great spot for a quick bite with friends or to hold an event.
