Oak & Stone — Restaurant in Florida

Let me start out by saying how clean this establishment was! I was highly impressed with not only the dining area but the restrooms as well! I know they are newer, so I hope they keep the level of cleanliness for the remainder of their existence.

Let's talk about the food! Hunnyyyyy... I stay in Tampa and I'm planning on driving 2 hours to go back. I know that there are closer locations, but I went to another and was disappointed, so I'm down for the drive! My mom, cousin, and I stopped here on the way down to Miami last month. I started off with a salad with the house citrus vinaigrette dressing 🔥. It was such a party in my mouth! I loved it. My mom and cousin had the Caesar salad, and they raved about it the entire time they were eating it. I had a veggie pizza and I didn't want it to end. It was literally perfect. My mom had a pizza that had veggies and pepperoni and sausage and she enjoyed it. My cousin had the Buffalo pizza and she enjoyed it as well. Everyone spoke very highly of their foods. I'm a pescatarian, but I tried a slice of my cousins Buffalo pizza and it was amazing! They have a daily lunch special for $13. I believe you get a salad, small personal pan pizza and a drink. Well worth the money! We also had don't holes!!! If you come here, it's a must try!!! You will not regret it!

Our waitress was Kaitlyn (I hope I spelled it correctly) she was amazingly attentive and knowledgeable. I'll probably call to make sure she's working before driving down. I really liked her personality!

During the visit, I did have to ask for a manager. Levi came over looking a little scared of what was to come, but he actually sat down to speak with us and was pleasantly surprised when I ranted and raved about how great everything was and how good the waitress was. He was very nice and also had a great personality.

Tried to come back to this location on the way back, but clicked the wrong one and it took us to another location that wasn't too far from this one. Let's just say it was not cooked with love lol.

Kaitlyn, Levi... I'll be back!

I took pictures of everything, and I have no clue where they went. I uploaded the 3 that I found, but I'll upload the rest once I find...

Oak & Stone in Estero delivers a vibrant and enjoyable dining experience, blending a lively atmosphere with a surprisingly diverse menu. While known for their extensive craft beer and bourbon selections, the food holds its own, offering something for everyone.

My recent visit was a pleasant surprise. Starting with the pretzel encrusted Ahi Tuna poke bowl, it was a standout dish. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it was a refreshing and delicious start. The quality of the tuna is excellent, and the accompanying ingredients complemented each other beautifully.

Dining with kids can sometimes be a gamble, but the kids' pizza was, to my surprise, exceptionally good. It wasn't your typical bland, afterthought kids' meal. The crust was well-made, and the toppings were fresh. Even the pickiest eaters at my table were happy.

For dessert, the Reese's Cup cheesecake was a must-try. Rich, decadent, and perfectly executed, it was a top-notch dessert that satisfied every sweet craving. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate was spot-on, and the texture was creamy and indulgent.

However, the real highlight for me was the bourbon selection. Oak & Stone boasts an impressive array of bourbons, and I particularly enjoyed the flight/tasting of their private barrel selections. Sampling their exclusive picks of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, Eagle Rare, Wilderness Trail, and Russell's Reserve was a fantastic experience. Each selection showcased unique characteristics, and the staff was knowledgeable and passionate about their bourbon offerings, making the tasting both informative and enjoyable.

Overall, Oak & Stone in Estero provides a well-rounded dining experience. Whether you're a bourbon or beer enthusiast, a foodie, or simply looking for a family-friendly restaurant, Oak & Stone delivers. The combination of delicious food, an impressive drink selection, and a lively atmosphere makes it a solid...

Have been 3 or 4 times. The food consistency is lacking and the tables make you feel like you're in an airport restaurant. Not sure how else to explain it. People standing near the table, and loud. We like the Immokalee location much better for food, service and atmosphere. While I appreciate the response from ownership, I provide critical feed back for your benefit. It is not a method of getting "free stuff", so I will not be reaching out via email. That said, we ordered the Clucker Pizza. Generally speaking the chicken tasted like it was out of a bag, dry, flavorless, the entire pizza was generally dry, and bland. Crust was good. I ordered two drinks, both the exact same order, yet one came in a taller rounded glass the second in a rocks glass. First drink was perfect, the second had two sips worth of drink, and lots and lots of ice.. same cost for both. SMH.. you got me, 7-8 bucks for watery vodka.. Service was ok, slowish, kinda lack training, and most of the servers linger around the front door chatting, (though this is probably the only real spot to stand given the airport feel). It took a long time to get my second drink.. given what I received I was done at two anyway, but wife was driving I was planning on three... For my buddies sake - If not getting the beer band, beer ordering is confusing. Servers should be prepared to explain the process, and if necessary step up and get the guy a beer, he is a plain jane beer drinker and just wanted something common brought to the table.. became uncomfortable quickly, when all he wanted was a Mich Ultra in a glass. I get the beer wall is the thing, but sometimes non-beer enthusiast gets drug to the beer wall place cause his friends, or in this case, his...
