Visited Oakview Public House recently for dinner. When we arrived we only had to wait a short…read morewhile for a table. Oakview is nicely decorated with ample seating. It is quite open so it can get noisy at times, but the ambiance is great. We ordered our drinks and had a main server & trainee. We ordered pretzel bites as an appetizer. Ordered a burger with no cheese, mac and cheese with fries, shrimp tacos and short rib grilled cheese. Everything was delicious though the burger first came out with cheese on it so we had to wait for a new one while everyone else had their meals. Oakview Public house is located off Green Oaks Parkway near the 12 Oaks Community. There is ample parking though the lot is a little small & as businesses join the area they may need more parking.

Had a reservation for a birthday dinner and was so embarrassed about how everything went. We were seated right away but that was the end of the good service. For a weekend night it wasn't packed but not sure what was happening in the kitchen. Everything from drinks and appetizers to our meals took forever. One of the owners came over and apologized and offered us some free desserts but those took an additional half hour. Not sure what's going on with staffing. For a party of 8, all of our food came out at completely different times and some wrong, with a salad being the very last to show up. It was nothing short of a disaster. Now the food. I appreciate the change up on the menu but it just wasn't as good. A few ordered the Mac n Cheese and didn't like it. The short ribs and mash was hardly eaten. It did not look edible. Hard choice of appetizers now for a mix of older kids and adults. Quesadilla was just ok. The burgers were good but everything else just mediocre. We wanted to love it and have given it a great shot but will probably be a long time until we go back.

I came to Niche on a whim. I was having a bad day; a bad week really. Personal and…read moreprofessional-wise. I was just tired of shitty people and I wanted to go to a place that felt good. I just don't think I expected what I got. Upon entering, I was received by a small very warm and beautifully lit bar that simply felt special. I looked over the available wine and asked the gentleman at the corner seat if the seat next to him was taken. Little did I know that the gracious gentleman who kindly offered me the seat was none other than the proprietor of Niche, Mr. Ted Powell and that's when my night really started as Ted graciously regaled me with amazing stories between the pause on the songs played by the band. What a vibrant spirit this man has. If you go here, you have to meet Ted. From telling me about how he acquired the place, his daughter, Budstock, Maverick Rose Music Hour, and sharing details of each nights events at Niche, he made my first visit (just me myself and I) a beautiful one. He couldn't stop talking about how wonderful a mixologist Andy is. Don't get it twisted. This man is more than a bartender. He's a diplomatic mixologist who knows how to let patrons know, in the most respectful but boundary maintaining way, how to behave. I saw him in action and it was a beautiful thing to see him basically offer up a dose of kindness with a dash of "you better check yourself before you wreck yourself." If a place could be described by one word, Niche's word would be KINDNESS. I felt like I was taken care of. Thank you Ted and Andy for being so kind on my first visit and turning my night around. I look forward to future visits. This place is most definitely a must visit when in North Carolina!

My friend and I were seated after waiting a few minutes at noon on a Monday. We asked for a window seat but the tables were dirty, so we sat in a booth. Slow to seat us and unclean tables. Were they short-staffed? Idk, whatever. I ordered the eel hand-roll, Passion Roll, and Japanese orange soda drink. The eel was DELICIOUS, but its seaweed wrap was rubber tough. I had to gnaw it, using my canines to rip through one bite. The Passion Roll was pretty, but largely flavorless. And that soda was super weird. It tasted like your garden variety orange soda, but popping the top was an involved experience of removing the piercing mechanism, placing it on top and pressing down to break the seal. Inside the tube was a little ball that stopped the flow of soda if you tipped it too far. It was an inconvenient scene for someone just wanting to drink some soda. Instructions for how to perform the opening task were written on the side in Japanese. My friend said this place rocked. But I was wholly unimpressed. 3 stars because I'm kind-hearted.
