Everything was delicious, came for my mother’s birthday and she was so happy. We had a range of appetizers including some specials, calamari, wings, mussels and everything was delicious. Entrees came out and everyone was happy. Cocktails are delicious and unique. Desert, so yum, second time here myself and we will be back very soon! Update 3.24.25: Oak and Almond is a tried and true spot that I enjoy coming back to time and time again. The staff is always very welcoming, kind and attentive. First time enjoying dinner here was a little over a year ago for an anniversary. Since then returned for my mother’s birthday last year and today for a special birthday dinner for myself with the family. The food is consistently delicious and their specials are unique and it’s so hard to not order all of them. I appreciate that they are not only kid friendly but offer more than just one or two options for the kids. Their charred octopus comes out perfect each time. Also enjoy the branzino which I seem to need to have each time because it’s so good, it arrives on a bed of fresh Brussels sprouts, tomatoes and bacon. Today I was dreaming about a bolognese and they delivered. Picture below is a half portion, we didn’t even need to ask and it was offered to split our pasta. The fettuccine is house made, sauce is fresh and flavorful and the ricotta on the top is perfect. Deserts are also made in house. I enjoy sitting near the open kitchen and getting a peak at the magic.

This place is really quite lovely. Came here with my sister for Sunday brunch. Their menu is not limited by any means! Quite a variety of very delicious options that can be made Vegetarian, GF, or even Vegan. Their Cocktails/Wine List is delicious!! I had ordered their Seasonal Soup--which was pureed vegetables and a Farm Greens Salad with grilled Chicken. My sister also ordered the soup and the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. All ingredients were fresh. I do have to say, however, my salad greens were starting to head on their way out as there was some browning on the romaine Hearts. Nevertheless, food was fantastic. As for drinks, I had water and Coffee--which is a lovely dark roast brew the way I LOVE it! My sister ordered the bees knees and it was very well balanced! Pricing and food portions match, flavors are outstanding, customer service perfect! While we didn't really need to worry about reservations on this particular day, I suggest you make them especially if your more than a party of two. Highly recommend this spot and will definitely be visiting again!

Lovely space - very warm and welcoming vibe. We went for a typical date night on a Saturday around 8:30pm. Wasn’t crowded but had good energy. We ordered the charred octopus and the burrata for appetizers. The octopus was really yummy and came with very tasty bits of chorizo, potato, and fennel. The burrata was good but came with only three of the tiniest crostini! We could have used 2-3 more pieces. I got the salmon with farro which was very good. The fish had very, very crispy skin which was delicious. My fiancé got one of the specials - rack of lamb. This was the star dish of the night. Tender, juicy, and the sides it came with were so good. We were too full for dessert but the options sounded really delicious. The server said they’re all completely homemade. Next time we’ll try to save room. They had a lemon ricotta cheesecake with blueberry compote that sounded amazing. Our server and the bussers were attentive, quick, and professional. Overall great experience and we’ll be back with friends and family in tow.

Not amazing. Typical youth host, guided me to a seat that a manager programmed her to do. Better choices considering I was probably the last person to be seated. I went with the flow... Very nice table service, quick and pleasant. I ordered the burger, assuming a nice place will serve a great burger. Came out hard and with little flavor. I just wanted a simple meal and drink as I passed through town. Now that I reflect, the burger was very subpar, dense, flavorless with a uselessly flavorless bun. Fries were ok. Martini was shaken, didn't ask, and it was filled with shards of ice, diluting my drink... Added a draft Stella and had no issues. I didn't complain to management about my disappointing experience, because I didn't want to talk about my $21 burger disappointment. As it was the end of the night, they started to go through the restaurant and pick up candles, etc. I asked for mine to stay until I left. I blame managers and training, not the kind host and busboy; servers were good. I still tipped 20%

I recently hosted a surprise birthday party at Oak + Almond and it could not have been better!! I had heard wonderful things about the restaurant, but never been myself so I was taking a chance. And I'm oh so glad I did! AJ, the Events Director, was a pleasure to work with: quick to respond to emails, provided clear and thorough information throughout the whole process, and so helpful every step of the way! They have the party planning process down to a science, which made it a BREEZE for myself. As if that wasn't enough, the staff the day of was superb!!! I've never gotten better service anywhere! There was always someone close by offering a drink, bringing extra ice, topping off drinks. They kept to a schedule but I never felt rushed or pushed along, it was so natural! I felt so relaxed, I knew everything was under control, and I didnt have to do a thing! And the FOOD! So delicious! I will be returning, not only for meals, but for hosting! Thank you AJ and your fabulous team at Oak + Almond!
