   Wonderful service, beautiful decor, very quiet and well-chosen background music. The first courses were wonderful - - the beat salad and the little squares that were made of potato -- they were really delicious. But the Alaskan char was a little odd..... it didn't taste completely fresh, and the dish was not interesting, just the fish and some ornaments on top. I don't mean to complain, but hope this feedback is helpful. Very nice to have this restaurant in the neighborhood. Hope 2025 brings good things and good customers.

   Service is awful. After I checked in and said the name on the reservation, someone came to our table to ask again under whose name we were seated. Then I got two calls while sitting down and eating from the restaurant itself to ask if we had checked in because they couldn’t see my name on their system. I had to go up to the front desk person to reconfirm both times. And finally because they are absolutely incapable, i got an email from OpenTable asking if I had actually shown up to dine there. I mean come on…how hard is it to just mark me as seated in your system. If you don’t know how to operate these things maybe it’s time to close down your restaurant.

   We have high standards when it comes to rating restaurants. In this economy we want an experience that makes us feel like our discretionary spending was a good choice and appreciated by the restaurant. With so many dining options in Boston and Cambridge there is no reason to patronize substandard establishments. Oak Bistro was a great choice! The food was spectacular from apps to desert. The mains were exceptional and the service was excellent. The portions were more than adequate and the presentation showed the skills of a highly trained chef. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with comfortable seating, the space not overcrowded and a low noise environment. Absolutely a 5 star experience at 4 star prices. Do not hesitate to dine here.

   Our server Noelle is the BEST! The octopus appetizer and warm toffee pudding are Can’t Miss, and the wines are excellent and a good value. We are gleefully working our way through the menu.
