Reviews for Oak Steakhouse in Alexandria, VA
Well, we did not actually have any steak here, but our experience was great nevertheless. Our waiter, Catherine, was friendly... and helpful the entire time. We sat outside and it was very nice and relaxing. We had a few drinks, the seafood tower (oysters,shrimp, kind grab, and house ceviche) which was great, and the rolls. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and felt well takencare of, but not to the point of being watched. Definitely will be coming back soon! Read more
Really just disappointing… This restaurant is the definition of mediocre. The service was decent, not great which I would’ve... expected for the price range of the restaurant. The waiting time for the food to be served was incredibly long. We came to therestaurant at 1845 and ordered around 1910. The appetizers were served around 1940 and the mains were served at 2010. The foodquality was at best alright. By the time it got served we were starving and would’ve eaten anything. Way too overpriced forwhat it was. Coming from Europe and working in the restaurant industry I was expecting a little bit more especially spendingthat much money. I would not consider to come back here again. Read more
Service was hit or miss like the hostess was amazing the waiter was ok no the best. Nice but just seemed confused. The food was... mediocre, like the oysters were good but they put sugar lol yes sugar in the cocktail Sauce so it made them sweet weird combo.The other oysters were so filled with cream cheese . The $72 steak I had was once frozen I eat enough steak I can Tell thedifference and when you rush and thaw out a steak everyone knows the meat is not the same so that was waste. The mushrooms werenot good the mac and cheese was good. I’d highly recommend another place. I couldn’t see myself going back unless it was tosee the awesome hostess Read more
Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Very glad that this restaurant participated in restaurant week so that gave us a chance... to try it. Large selection of wines and spirits. One of the best steaks (filet mignon) I've ever had and cooked perfectly. Thedessert was decadent. Would absolutely return here again. Read more
We went here for my birthday dinner and it was SO GOOD. The filet was cooked perfectly. The baked and fried potato was so... freakin' delicious!! Wine was fantastic. The bartender made the best dirty martini I've ever had. Our waiter was so nice andeasy to talk to. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back for our next steak fix! Read more
The menu was not too big but the food was exquisite with nice exploding flavors at the same time not overwhelming. Wine... selection is nice from different parts of the world including US.. And the service was first class. I had the bone marrow as anappetizer, and the nuddi pasta just perfect. Thank you for a lovely evening of a culinary experience. Read more
Went here for dinner and had a great time. The the ambiance is upscale and elegant. Appetizers were really good, steaks were... tender and cooked perfectly to temp. Truffle Mac and cheese was my favorite side but you can't go wrong with any of them.Finally a DC quality steakhouse in Alexandria. Definitely worth a visit if you want to splurge a little bit. Definitely the beststeak place in Old town! Read more
Went there for mothers 76th birthday. Second visit to oak. 5pm. Place was empty, all lights dimmed. So dark we could not read... menu. When I asked to raise the lights. It was not well received. Place filled with people fast. Wait staff became Way to busyto pay attention to table as the prices charged deserved. Table for five next to kitchen. Lots of running around us. Kind ofdistracting. All food was really well presented and flavorful. When served wait staff dumped a plate on the table spilling thesauce every where. Had to ask for a new table setting. All food was delivered at same time. Table was way to small for five.Little room after all the food was delivered. Ny strip was tough but delivered cooked as requested. Rib eyes were perfect, butwere not butchered properly thin on one side thick on other. Pork belly outstanding. Cesar salad also. Mom did get free desertfor her birthday but not delivered with any fan fair as would have been done in any other place. Family style sides? Small. More proportioned for one. Except for asparagus and fries. Beef fat fries not to my taste, heave greasy feel to them. Notoily. Just not for me Cost dinner for 5 including one beer and on bottle house pinot Grigio. $ 790.00. Tip included %15. Overall. First visit a year ago much better than this visit. Don't think i would return. I should note the overall opinionof 5 was LongHorne steak house same quality steak. 1/3 the cost. Not such an upscale venue. But would have been a betterchoice for moms birthday Read more
