I've been to the Oak three times. Each time it was an entirely different experience. My favorite thing is each time the bartender and the waiter/waitress was extremely knowledgeable and personable. When they have lamb chops their awesome. The steaks are tasty. The drinks are Amazing. No matter what you ask for they can make.

Celebrated my and my friends birthday here with our close circle, and it was beyond incredible. From the personalized menus and complementary birthday drinks to the exceptional cook on our steaks and decadent sides, It was a five star experience. I’ve been coming here for years and always continue to boast about this place and recommend it! Thanks to our server Robert and the incredible staff at Oak!

It was an exceptional dining experience from beginning to end. I have come here seven times with my husband, and yet again they have not disappointed. We took my parents there to celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary and they not only gave us a special menu with Happy 42nd Anniversary printed on top; they also gave us his and her mugs with the same message! Top-notch staff makes it a point to provide the best customer service. There is no way to describe how amazing the food is! As far as servers are concerned, we will definitely return and request Joe or Robert. Kayla, the manager, and the rest of the staff made this evening extra special for my parents. Thank you!

THE BEST OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER I HAVE EVER HAD! They completely deserve that headline. The Oysters Rockefeller were just perfect. The right amount of each ingredient. A perfect temperature. The top was perfectly crispy and the oysters below were perfectly succulent. The server mentioned that they put a touch of hollandaise in the topping. I was completely blown away!! The surf and turf was also quite delicious. I ordered medium rare and it was right on the money. If you order medium rare because you often end up with your medium a little over done, don't do that here unless you truly want medium rare. Nice and rare. Lobster and crab were both delicious, splendidly prepared hollandaise. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and also had a great flavor. Even the rough ground salt on the rolls made them pop! Highly recommend!! Get the oysters!

We ate here for my husband's birthday, and it was hands down the best experience (maybe thanks to our server). The food, drinks, dessert... all were great. So thankful for a night out on town where autographs were not asked for ;). Also, glad to have found an A5 steakhouse close to home.

We were in town and needed a last minute dinner option. This place was located right next to our hotel and were able to squeeze us in. Happy they did. Started with the bacon and the bone marrow which were delicious. Main courses were filet, beef carpaccio, and the strip. All were cooked to perfection. Drinks were expertly made and the service was too notch. Go with confidence.

A decent Steakhouse near Nashville downtown area. The restaurant atmosphere and service was great! Although we certainly will say the food is slightly average. Here is what we ordered. Oysters- this was served with regular cocktail sauce, horseradish and a cucumber sauce. Certainly the cucumber sauce watered down the oyster giving it a unique taste. I’m certainly a fan of other sauces besides the usual but this one was fine with just the cocktail sauce. Ribeye Steak- it was cooked to our temperature at medium rare, although the flavor was not there. It certainly needed their steak sauce and butter which helped the flavor a bit but something just seemed a bit off. Crab cakes, broccolini, scallops all great. The bartender made an excellent kettle one martini! Overall food give it 3/5, service 4/5, location and atmosphere 5/5.
