    Oakley’s Bistro is always an outstanding culinary experience! The butternut squash maple soup was simply divine. Already thinking about our next trip!

    First time having lunch at Oakleys. Food as fantastic as always. Prices were surprisingly fair for lunch and for the quality especially. Service was quick and efficient, but especially for holiday time, I’d say lacking in warmth and personality. But as I say, he was very efficient so I’m not going to complain, especially with the quality on the plate he was serving. Always a go to, I’ll now be back for more lunches too.

    Wonderful as always. Tried something new, the stroganoff and it surpassed my expectations. Such a lovely earthy surprise. We always drive away thinking Oakleys is the best restaurant in the area.

    Everything was great but service was a little slow. There was a large party next to us but very few people other than that and us and it was still pretty slow.

    Nice wines. I liked my flatbread but the french onion soup was too hot and mediocre.
