We just experienced the kitchen table tasting menu. We were impressed with the beautiful presentations and delicious flavors. The chef described each dish and the service was great. We were left feeling we were special and had an amazing experience. Although it was a tasting, we had 7 courses and had left overs to take home. We had a delightful evening. Thank you to chefs and all the staff.

Great dining experience at Oakleys Bistro. Our server was amazing and very helpful with suggestions. We had the prime rib dumplings as starter and the trout for entrée. Both dishes were outstanding: well seasoned and cooked to perfection, can’t wait to be back.

My wife and I come to Oakley’s for every special occasion. Every time we have been in the restaurant, Chef Oakley has been in the kitchen, scrutinizing every dish that goes out for service. His passion for his restaurant and for his food has shown through in every meal. Every dish is maximalist. It is not a restaurant that intends to celebrate the purity of a few ingredients. Instead, it is lush and complex. Every dish we have had has been a complex weaving of flavors and textures. It is intended to be and succeeds in being complex and whimsical. And yet it is not a mishmash…each component is well thought out and consistently executed, and intended to work in harmony with every other component. The staff seems to understand this passion, and carries the same precision and love and attention to detail to the table. It is a whole restaurant that appears to understand the vision, and is unified in it’s desire to execute it. Even during the pandemic when we could only order carry out, they would still lovingly plate our tin carry-out containers with the same eye for perfection. Also the bartender, whoever it is, is outstanding and deserves an award. I love Oakley’s. It is the only restaurant I have ever been to that I would elevate to the status of art. It is worth every penny.

We had the tasting menu and it was, by far, the best food I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back and order from the menu

This place is a 5/5, the food is always delicious and the cocktail list is wonderful and the service is top notch. I always recommend this place as one of the best spots in Indy.

I had meatloaf for lunch. It was like eating two overcooked hamburger patties. Way too salty. Super disappointed. We had such a great experience last year. This time, no one bothered to ask how the food was.

We dined at Oakley’s on two occasions. The cuisine was astonishingly refined and delightful, displaying a level of sophistication that impressed us. However, the service left something to be desired. The waiter seemed disinterested in his role, distant, and inappropriately dressed, not adhering to the expected standards. Nonetheless, this did not detract from the excellence of the dishes themselves, although it did impact the overall dining experience. Despite this, we would definitely consider returning solely for the exceptional food.

Service was amazing. Waiter “Wes” very courteous, highly knowledgeable, great recommendations, he was great to conversate with. Our meal was absolutely delicious. Service was great. The cook knows what he’s doing. The owner knows what they are doing and more restaurants need to take notes and be ran like this! 10/10 highly recommend

Excellent food. This is easily one of the finest meals I have had ever. The Duck n Duck was amazing. The heirloom tomato salad was amazing. The Old Fashioned and Long Island Iced Tea were expertly made. Lastly, Dan’s Chocolate Bar. Get it, you’ll love it.
