I visited last Wednesday after searching for somewhere for my bestie and I to enjoy some drinks and dinner. I made a reservation as Yelp has it readily available online. Upon arrival, there is maybe two couples in the restaurant, one in the dining room, and one sitting in their gorgeous outdoor patio. The entire restaurant was decked out in oak and woody earth tones with tasteful shapes, mirrors, and outlined with plants. An absolute vibe for these two girls with earth signs. We were met by one single staff member who ushered us to take a seat anywhere of our choosing (it was relatively empty so the reservation wasn't even acknowledged, which we didn't mind. I do not recall his name however he provided us with excellent service. (Wednesday the 15th @ 7:30) Now for drinks, my bestie ordered a strawberry margarita and I had ordered a menu drink that were both poured heavily and tasted phenomenal. We did not feel the need to order any additional glass or it may have turned into a party for two! My girlie and I are oyster people. We are also savory folk. We ordered a half dozen oysters and focaccia bread. To our extreme delight the appetizers were delicious and filling. However, we're on Yelp for a reason. FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. We're best friends for a reason, the steak sandwich caught our attention. It was dressed deliciously and paired with fries reminiscent of those from In N Out, and depending on who you ask that is a WIN! Overall we split the bill and felt it was better than expected to how grand our meal was. I wish I grabbed our servers name, he was a sweet gentleman that waited on two girls who could eat a cow and ask for dessert Definitely a space worth mentioning to out of town friends. read more

I recently had my daughter's college graduation party here. It was on the patio. My initial contact was Jo. She was great! She walked me through the entire process of set up for the event, which included our own decorations, patio furniture, and table placements for food and drinks. She provided me with her cell phone and was very responsive to any questions I had up to the day of the event. Brooke was our server the day of the event. I could not have asked for a better server to make this event amazing. She was very attentive to every guest as it was an open house from 12pm-3pm and people rotated in and out during the entire time. She kept our food table stocked and drinks full. She was very busy. But the real kicker was at the end of the day, I found out that the restaurant was short staffed and she was also providing the same attention to inside tables as well. I never even knew! I would highly recommend this location for parties, whether it is in the banquet room inside or the patio outside (w/ fountain)!! read more

Came for an after-dinner drink on a Tuesday night since it said the bar was open until 10pm. We were greeted in an aloof manner and initially felt as though we were intruding. However, after speaking with the bartender for a few moments, we were informed that he was typically a server who was covering the bar and yet he made a great Oak Fashioned and was very attentive to our drinks. We were treated kindly and would come back on a busier night to get the full experience. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Came here for a presentation so dinner was paid for. Compared to presentations at other restaurants, there were no appetizers, but that could be on the part of the company that was paying. Portions are very small even for a presentation dinner. My steak was made, medium rare and very flavorful just too small. The mashed potatoes were nice and flavorful and creamy, but also too small of a portion. The bread pudding was on the sweeter side, but warm and comforting. The wedge salad had the perfect amount of blue cheese, crumbles and sauce, which helped me finish the entire salad. The croutons were crunchy and flavorful. Service was a bit on the slow side for our small party at five people. Their private event room can easily fit about 20 people. It has a nice view of the intersection of Shepherd and FoxHill. read more

The service was extremely slow with no engagement with our table to update us on the status of our food. Basically ignored. Rude. Waited atleast an hour from ordering. Because we were a party of 12, automatically charged a 20% gratuity. Unbelievably slow. Go someplace else if you're in any sort of hurry. Understaffed. read more

In an unassuming parking lot you'll come across this bistro. Truthfully only came across it from word of mouth and personally I believe that to be the best advertisement. Dined here on a weekday and found the ambiance to be upscale yet relaxed. We had no reservation however we were quickly accommodated. The interior is stunning, their patio looked like the perfect place to catch up with some drinks and apps. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Quickly cleared our table between courses without making us feel rushed. Even who I believe to be the manager stopped by to check in on how we were liking everything, which is always a nice touch. As for what I ordered : - 10/10 cocktail that I can't remember the name of but it had vodka and grapefruit - Truffle fries : 10/10 just get these, you might not want to share so maybe order two - House made focaccia : 8/10 could of came out a little more warm, other than that it was amazing and the butter it was paired with was divine - Chicken plate 7/10 was very very good and paired nicely with the mashed potatoes and broccolini however I did have a rather hard time cutting into it because of the way it was rolled and it being a rather thick cut. But I still thoroughly enjoyed it for lunch the next day when I wasn't too worried about my cutlery skills lol It's been a while since I've rated a local restaurant 5 stars, and wow was this place worth the wait. Don't wait as long as I did to try it! read more

I must say the place lives up to the recommendations of my fellow Yelpers. The espresso martini was perfect and not over sugary, the Club Sandwich was the bomb and absolutely no complaints with the service. I appreciate the decor and calm atmosphere here...very laid back and peaceful. The interaction between the employees and myself is a pleasure, friendly people are always welcome. I'll have to return for the dinner hour and see what that experience will yield but until then I'll enjoy my lunch and appreciate the opportunity to share and enjoy myself. read more

I love this place so much. The service is phenomenal, the last time I was here we had the sweetest girl Maddy helping us. She was so attentive and even made us a cocktail based off of what we told her we liked and it ended up being one of my favorite cocktails ever! The outside patio is my favorite, I love that they have lounge options if you're just trying to hangout with friends and have a few drinks/appetizers. Other than the customized drink we had, the invisible plane is my second most favorite, I highly recommend if it's available! The food is good too, so far I've only ever had appetizers but their truffle fries and focaccia bread are so good! I always find myself looking forward to my visit! read more

Reserved a table for lunch for us and family on the 5th July. Drove up from Visalia and arrived on time only to find a piece of paper on the door saying they were closed on 4th and 5th. Website had nothing! Reservations still allowed. Was even other customers driving up and asking too. Complete waste off 2 hrs driving and gas. Horrible customer experience. I get that places may close for holidays (and days after) but tell your customers and dont allow reservations!!! read more

This place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe -- perfect for a solo "self-date" or for catching up with friends. I never feel rushed; I can savor a quiet moment alone or get lost in long, easy conversations. The food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the drinks are exceptional. Friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere keep me coming back. read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner here on Saturday. We had reservations but arrived a little early and was seated right away. Our waitress was attentive but gave us space to enjoy our meal. It was a lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Not too loud or crowded. The food was enjoyable. We got truffle fries as an appetizer and they were solid fries. Nothing too special. My Bolognese dish was absolutely amazing! I give it a 9 out of 10. It would have received a 10 out of 10 but the portion was a bit small for the price but I still loved the dish. My boyfriend got the Chicken Milanese dish. He said it was a little bit dry but good overall. read more

Great wine selection. Food is excellent! Full bar and full menu. Awesome place and atmosphere!

First time checking this out on recommendation of a friend who loved their mushroom risotto. Sadly, it was a special that wasn't on the menu anymore, so we had to pivot. Staff and manager were super nice and very attentive. The old fashioned drink was great. We started with the Arancini balls as an appetizer. The flavor was good, but they were cold in the middle. We sent them back, which I hate doing and they brought warmer ones. The cheese in the middle wasn't cold, but wasn't melted, so still not great. These are huge so if they were half the size, they might be able to get a melt and make them amazing. I did the Bronzino and it was a fish on a plate looking at me. Fish was super fresh and the chimichurri sauce was amazing. The fish did have a lot of bones to pick through so I didn't love that. The star of the night was the Chicken Marsala. It was hands down the best I have ever had. Chicken was moist and flavor incredible. We liked it so much I ordered one for my mom. We would definitely like to return and try more things. read more

Super excited to have a new restaurant in Fresno with insanely delicious food. The staff was great and attentive. The restaurant is very nice and the bar is really nice. Everything we had was cooked to perfection. The branzino was our favorite item that we ordered. It was cooked so nicely and the fish was tender and juicy. The executive chef Ana has really created a delicious menu! read more

This place is absolutely lovely on the inside, you can definitely tell the new owner put money into it. Unfortunately the food was just average, and way overpriced for what I experienced. In addition, the environment is very loud and feels more like a sports bar, then a fine dining establishment I went to this place on a Thursday night with some friends. We were immediately seated, and we were greeted by a very friendly waitress. We ordered our food, and that's when things started to be weird. First off, the staff seemed to be very confused with what they were doing. Over the course for our meal we had many different staff ask us 7 times for the plates and cups that we had on the table. Normally not a problem, but our glasses were half full, and we were clearly still eating off our plates. Additionally, a young woman brought an entrée out, and instead of walking around the table, she chose to reach over me to put the plate on my far left. By doing this, she essentially threw her breasts in my face. While a lot of guys wouldn't complain about this, to me this just shows how poorly the wait staff has been trained. Normally I would expect for an appetizer to come out before the entrées, but not at this place. Every entrée come out before every our appetizers. Again, just weird. The focaccia was thick, doughy and heavy, nothing like what a focaccia should taste like But, at least it was bread. The octopus was cooked perfectly and when mixed with all of the other elements on the plate, the flavor profile was wonderful. However it's really hard to get excited about a plate, when the chef can't seem to cook fingerling potatoes. The potatoes were still raw. The beet salad was wonderful, and I would highly recommend it to anyone trying this place. The raviolis were perfectly cooked however the butter sauce was completely broken and just an oily mess. Very disappointing. All things together, this just wasn't that great of an experience. There are places with better atmosphere, and better food for the price. read more

I had higher hopes for this establishment when they took over the location where Vino Grille & Spirits once was. The ambiance is almost spot on the upper lounge vibe, I would say not much was changed inside. The menu was limited waitress said they removed a few items. I ordered the duck breast with pistachio and wild rice. The portion is a petite size with two slices of duck breast. The flavors although good the duck was tough to cut. My husband's Cavatelli Pasta was al dente and best described as an upscale hamburger helper. He was very disappointed. The Hamachi Crudo appetizer described as a shareable was good but not meant for two that may be why we only got one set of chopsticks. Now the service needs alot of work. Our waitress brought us one set of chopsticks for a shareable appetizer. She began with not what the specials are but what's nolonger on the menu. For dessert she described how we are in for a treat the large event group has leftover bread pudding they say we can have! Yes she's offering us leftovers. No we will not be in again or recommend this place to our neighbors or bring our friends. read more

We had reservations for dinner tonight for a party of 10. The hostess up front told us that we would still have to wait another 20 minutes or so despite having reservations. At first, we were a little irritated given that we had kids and an elderly member in our group. But the owner, Raul worked quickly to help resolve the situation. We ended up only having to wait an additional 10 minutes. We were sat promptly. Our hostess Marissa was great. We ordered a few appetizers and our dinner. My daughters' dinners arrived quickly. Which was great, given that my daughters were pretty hungry by this point. I ordered the ravioli. It was delish!! They're homemade with just a hint of lemon flavor but nothing too overwhelming. My SIL ordered the mussels. I tried one of hers. It was amazing and very light. I love the sauce that accompanied the dish. We were celebrating 2 birthdays, so we had a couple desserts. Our favorite was the lemon tart. Overall, everything was amazing. The service was wonderful. Will definitely be back!! read more

Oak Hill has the makings for an absolute gem of a restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our first time there. Very friendly staff in a comfortable, traditional lounge atmosphere. Steak appetizer was perfect. Octopus was perfectly cooked with terrific chimmichurri sauce. Chopped wedge was also excellent (be sure to ask for extra dressing as tiny dressing serving doesn't remotely cover large portion). Could be elevated a bit. Bacon was clumpy vs freshly prepared. I added steak to it. Pasta dish was good - a little bland. The burger was exceptional. Solid menu. Excellent wine selection. This place has the potential to be a terrific neighborhood hangout. We'll be back. BTW - This was listed online as an Italian restaurant. It is not. It was American fare. Check it out. read more

Focaccia they served us was burnt, we felt like we were being punished because we had asked the hostess to switch us to a different table and she was upset about it. The server was hardly nice , he was good at the beginning but I guess was motioned by the hostess as well so we were hardly accommodated. Not even to refill our water, my son got my share because he was already thirsty . We were only served a refill of water after the second attempt of asking for refill. The other tables were all given the attention except for us , but we need to understand that we were the only Asians there at that moment . My wife and I have been here before and the food was great that's why we chose this place to celebrate Mother's Day only to our disappointment. I hope people here will see customers equally . read more

First time dining at Oakhill Wine and Bistro. Very nice decor and atmosphere, and friendly service. The brunch had some different choices from the typical brunch choices. Tried the Strawberry French toast with candied ham. If you like a more sponge cake taste you will love it. The omelet with ricotta cheese was another favorite with my group. It does come with caviar which some chose to leave off. Next time I plan to give their dinner a try and add some wine tasting as well. read more

Oakhill is a fantastic neighborhood restaurant. The ambiance is warm and inviting and the staff are fantastic. The bartenders make excellent drinks and the chef is precise. Do not pass on the appetizers. Sometimes I make that my meal and order a bottle of wine from their cellar which is extensive. In the warmer months, you can't beat their patio which is clean, shaded with misters and a big screen-my favorite spot. This is a hidden gem and in my opinion, is not at the capacity it should be. Take advantage of that convenience. It isn't going to last! read more

We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Every employee we encountered was very hospitable. They checked on us numerous times and cleared our plates very quickly. The atmosphere Is very intimate on the inside but they do have patio seating if you prefer a brighter atmosphere. We started off with steak bites, focaccia, potatoes, and hamachi crudo. The steak was cooked perfectly and the butter for the focaccia was delicious. My bestie said the sauce on the hamachi was excellent. For our main courses we tried chicken Marsala, pasta primavera with shrimp and a chicken salad. My pasta portion was so huge I had leftovers. We all loved our dishes and can't wait to come back and try more. read more
