Visited The Oak Barrel for dinner recently. When we arrived, it was quiet and empty, which was…read moreideal. When we were seated, our waitress brought us some cold water in glasses and gave us menus. I felt like trying some bourbon, so I requested Larceny. There were a lot of tasty looking options on the menu, but I ultimately settled on salmon. My wife requested cod, and my son requested the rib dinner. The ambience of the place was nice. The waitress was friendly and there was a car show outside, which was cool. It didn't take long for our food to be cooked. My fish was hot off the grill, had a wonderful crispy finish, and was cooked to my specification. The salmon was delicious, as were the mashed potatoes it was served on. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I was craving more. Everyone enjoyed their meals and with great service, we agreed that this could be a place we visit when we're in the area. Great stuff!

Also, there is a slight "kick" but definitely bearable. The calamari was good as well. We sat on the patio and regretfully, I didn't go inside (too full) but overall, I'm willing to visit again as I stay relatively close.

Update. Been a bit since we've eaten here. Still the same. Met some friends here on a Tuesday…read more Wasn't crowded. The server was very nice and accommodating. We haven't seen these friends in a bit so we were kinda eating and lounging and talking. We ordered the original corn beef to split the regular size and we got the homade potato and cole slaw. Our guests got the corn beef as well and potato pancakes as their side. One liked the potato pancakes and one did not. They are mash potato consistency not shredded. I tasted they were ok to me. The potato salad and cole slaw were both good. Better choice. The corn beef actually looked smaller than usual. It was good but I thought it had been larger in the past. Maybe not anymore. Service was good. Food came out on time. This is a good place to go. Prices are a bit high but it's a deli. You can do what we did and split the sandwich. It enough food. Bar is nice. The patio is nice too. It's a good space and they even have a party room if you want to rent it out. Slymans is an institution. We will be back at some point again.

How disappointing. The corned beef was bland and like something from the grocery store. Also had…read morethe pastrami, so bland. The fries were so so. Service was good, only reason for 2 stars. Simons deli and restaurant is so much better than here.

I was made aware that the base of the Aplos was very herbal and tart. The first one brought to me was very tart. Very, very tart. I was not a fan, my dad was going to drink it, our waitress: Deja noticed and offered to have it remade. I accepted, the bartender came out to drop it off and explained how she changed it up. She stood by me and waited until I tried it. A bit much, it was better. The tartness was only at the end for a brief moment. They didn't have a specific gluten free menu, but Deja did tell us what was naturally gluten free and/or could be modified. A lot of the food is made in house. A lot of it looked appealing, but they had gluten free noodles that were not made in house. So I went with a trusted filet mignon cooked medium. The demi glace was an excellent touch. The potatoes were pretty good. The broccolini wasn't what I was hoping for. My parents dishes were much larger. Leftovers were had and enjoyed on a second day. I would maybe try the short ribs next time we would go. The building is very rustic and decorative. The bathroom is upstairs; an elevator is present is needed. A very interesting place. Staff and kitchen very accommodating. The prices are high for the amount you're given. Would love some in house pasta that is gluten free with an in house sauce. I was there primarily for the company. Not my favorite spot. I would be willing to go again.

Enjoy the coffee shop, wine shop, grazing boards, flat breads and more in the store front! Check out their craft workshops, events and live music! Love supporting this female owned spot! We sat at a booth and looked over the extensive menu before going up to the counter to order. They luckily weren't very busy so we didn't wait long at all for our food and drinks. Kinda pricy for what you get hence the 4 star review but overall a good experience. Plenty of parking in the lot available.

When we arrived, we were with somebody in a wheelchair and they had the ramp blocked for handicap which is why I gave 4 stars. The staff was nice and tried to accommodate us. We made it work. The place was packed. The food was good had good flavor. The bread that comes with pasta tasted like burnt toast. The server was new but he did a great job and kept checking on us making sure our drinks were full. They had a large screen with basketball ball game on and good vibe. The bartender told us they are here just for a few more months then moving or closing. But if you have a chance check it out you should.
