Our waitress was super friendly and informative. I got the fish and chips and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The batter on the fish was just right and the fries were crispy. They also had a grilled and salted lemon to go with the fish and it was absolutely fantastic. The coleslaw that came with it was very light and fresh. My boyfriend got the smokehouse beef and cheddar and said it was very good but wished the bun was a little bigger because most of the meat wouldn’t stay in the sandwich. Overall a very good experience.

I feel so robbed. 60.00 for a very small amount of food and the bag felt so light carrying out. I could get double the amount of food in other restaurants like Zooroona for example. I am so disappointed I ordered here today. The lettuce for the large salad is literally a handful of lettuce. The risotto looked so good in the pics posted by others but it looked underwhelming when I got this order. The pizza…I am sorry but for thin crust and 11 inches, it does not substantiate the cost. 60.00 for 30.00 worth of food.

Excellent food! I had the chicken and gnocchi, my wife had the seasonal risotto with chicken. I would highly recommend this place to anyone for the price. Our service was a little slow but very friendly.

Enjoyed a nice post Xmas lunch with my mother in law. She had the salmon BLT and I had the HOT Nashville Chicken Sandwich. It was good but HOT it was NOT. I believe the ketchup with the fries has more spiciness. LOL- but still a decent chicken sandwich. I will say the fries were some of the best with an excellent crispy coating and I’m not a French fry guy.

Went with family for lunch and it was pretty good. In my personal experience the salmon BLT I had was pretty boring, but everyone else around me liked the food they had so I think I just picked wrong.

This was my first ever visit and I like to give a place a couple of tries before really judging it so you can take what I have to say with a grain of salt. Bottom line though? Not overly impressed. Now the others in my group generally enjoyed their visit so maybe I was just having a bad day. Anyway, I thought the prices were a bit high for the amount and quality of the food. I ordered the meat loaf entree, which looked and tasted like no other meat loaf I have ever experienced, and it was $22. It came with four or five small fingerling potatoes and a small leafy salad that had way too much dill in it. Very strong. A good number of those in our group ordered pizza and seemed to be pleased and my mother-in-law ordered the Salmon BLT and said it was quite good. But her side of broccoli was cold. Another in our group ordered a squash based dish and it also came out quite cold. She thought that maybe she misunderstood how the dish was supposed to be prepared so respectfully asked our waitress (who, by the way was very good) if it was supposed to come cold. The waitress, of course, said no and took the dish back to the kitchen. On the way into the kitchen she met up with the cook and told him the dish was cold (we could hear the whole conversation). Anyway, we heard him holler about it as if my friend who ordered the dish was crazy! At that point the conversation moved behind closed doors (where it should have taken place from the start). We all kind of chuckled about it but were very unimpressed. Very unprofessional. So between my food not being very good, other folks meals coming out cold, the unprofessional cook incident, prices being too high, an overall lack of menu choices (many of which were a bit eclectic in my opinion), and what I felt was a lack of ambience it is not a place I would choose to go to again. If I were invited to go I would certainly give it one more chance but would order a different dish. So there you have it… my review of Oakwood Bistro. Do what you will with it but please, smile and have a great day.

Key lime pie is amazing. They didn’t have some of the menu selections available last time I went, but the food was good.

So very disappointing! We waited 15 minutes without water without being acknowledged by a server or the host. Several waitresses walked by us without even looking at us we felt invisible. We left after 15 minutes of being ignored. Shame on the host and the wait staff for such nonexistent service. We won’t be returning and will spread the news.

Could prepare better for friendly service when busy. Food is excellent, but wait can be unbearable during typical entertainment times. And don’t try takeout in a Fri night! Got home with my $22 whitefish, missing the asparagus. 🙁
