    I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

    What a wonderful Valentine's Day celebration from the Oak Bistro team!! We had a lovely evening, with fabulous food (a big shout-out for the roast chicken and the duck leg), fabulous service (Noel, you rock!), and a fun vibe (we loved the polaroid photo option!). Many thanks! We'll be back soon.
