Sunday Brunch was awesome! The food, drink, service and even the live jazz music was great. We will definitely return. The only "nit-picky" thing I would suggest- we had a table by the windows and the sun was blinding for half of our party. Maybe add some blinds as an option for those sitting next to windows??? Like I said, "nit-picky".

It's a little drafty at tables due to the door usage during this time of year!

$65 for a brunch that consisted of what could be had at a hotel free breakfast. Not even Las Vegas gouges their customers in this manner.

Adam was great! We loved the dry rub wings! My burger was cooked perfect! The butternut squash and apples were tasty. My husband had the Turkey Rachel with fries. But we’re really good.

We chose The White Oak Tavern for brunch/lunch. When we arrived the host wasn’t there, even thought the place didn’t look busy at all and we had to wait for a bit to get seated. Our waiter was courteous and helpful though. Let’s start with drinks. I ordered a virgin drink and my friend ordered a mixed spirited drink and both of our drinks were subpar. Mine had an artificial taste to it and my friend wasn’t impressed with their drink either. We ordered a few items from the appetizers menu and overall the food was ok. Our favorite was a trio of soups they had that day and smoked wings with buffalo sauce. The atmosphere is more of a sports bar than a traditional restaurant. We had a big family with young kids seated right behind us and the kids screamed every time their team scored or lost. If we knew it was a sports bar we’d probably go somewhere quieter.
