Oak Cafe & Farmers Market — Restaurant in Florida

Disappointed with the lack of transparency

I was ready to give a good review, but unfortunately, that won’t be possible. My boyfriend and I stopped for lunch at Oak Café & Farmers Market because of the good reviews. We decided to dine in, but no menu was offered, the person who seemed to be the owner just mentioned the daily options. My boyfriend ordered the lobster, and I had the chicken soup.

Everything seemed fine until we got the check, $58. Based on their online menu, the lobster is around $30 and the soup $10, which should total about $43.85, not $55+.

Found this wonderful gem of a spot on a whim while in Ft. Lauderdale for the day. Listen, just go. If you love genuine soul & West Indian food, created with love and w/perfect seasoning, then you won't be disappointed in any capacity. The staff is delightful. Our server was kind, on point and a true joy. The old school R&B, the gospel on a Sunday will take you back in the most nostalgic & best way. I'll DEFINITELY be going back next time we're in S. Florida. There were 4 of us, 2 had the snapper (fried) and 2 had the oxtail and a multiple of sides, all prepared to perfection. I highly recommend. That's an...
