First time to Oak and went on a recommendation. This place is absolutely a gem in Boulder. The thing that stood out was the service. They were attentive, checked on things, kept our table clean, and were very friendly. I could not have asked for better service if they charged twice as much.

The food was also excellent. With the arancini and gnocchi being standouts. Both were some of the best versions of those dishes I've ever had. Dessert was good but the deconstructed carrot cake could have used more cake for my tastes. But I'm being nit-picky.

As a bonus for non-drinkers they had a nice selection of mocktails!

Pricing is Boulder fare, but I thought it was great value for the quality. Will go again.

we enjpyed a wonderful  friday night dinner here. although the restaurant was quite full when we arrived, our table was ready at the reserved time. the kale and apple salad was exceptional, with a flavor that was bright, fresh, and earthy. the crispy risotto app came out just a couple minutes later and was amazing. the richness of the risotto was a perfect contrast with the salad, and a delicious, balance of texture and flavors. we shared nonas sunday ragout then finished our meal with carrot cake panna cotta. every bite from apps to dessert was exceptional.
Sarah was attentive and friendly, despite being very busy when we arrived. we appreciated the way all the staff seemed to work as a team to make sure our experience was exceptional.
the timing of the courses was spot on.
we also really enjoyed the selection of zero proof mixed drinks!
we finished our meal with decaf cappucinos that were frothy and fresh, the perfect ending to a lovely culinary experience.
definitely worth a visit in you are in boulder. im looking forward to coming back!

Very enjoyable. The food was solid across several items we tried and service was good. A little expensive for the portions, but nothing was bad. Beef tartare and kale salad as starters were probably our favorites. Steak and scallop mains were good not necessarily spectacular, especially for the price. Two drinks, two starters, two mains was about $180.

This place is amazing. We sat at the bar and everything was out of this world. As someone who grew up in Southern California, their scallops are nothing short of spectacular. The drinks are worth having many after your meal.

3.5/5

Sharing my insights on the recent dining experience. The service and ambiance were exemplary, setting a remarkable tone. However, turning attention to the culinary aspect, the scallop, while exhibiting a subtle hint of fishiness, compensated admirably with commendable flavors and a pleasing texture. Conversely, the dried-aged ribeye fell short, lacking in both flavor and succulence. Certain portions displayed a fibrous consistency, indicative of potential overcooking, resulting in a challenging texture. I didn't notice any of the dried age flavor in a dried aged steak.

Despite high expectations, the dish failed to meet anticipated standards. Contrarily, the potatoes and caramelized onions proved to be a culinary highlight, showcasing exceptional quality. The lamb, unfortunately, presented a dry texture and a deficiency in flavor. It is worth noting, however, that the carrot stood out as an excellent component of the meal. Overall, the dining experience encompassed a mix of impressions, with notable moments of culinary excellence and areas that left room for improvement.
