Despite how busy the Oak was, she was able to find us a table, which we greatly appreciated. The chef did an outstanding job with the trout dish, which was absolutely delicious. Our server, Chip, was charming, attentive, and knowledgeable, helping us navigate the menu with ease. Rich, the manager, also took the time to visit our table and ensure we were enjoying our experience, making us feel genuinely valued as guests. The exceptional hospitality and attention to detail from the entire team made our visit truly memorable. Oak has created a wonderful dining experience, and if every restaurant had a staff like this, dining out would always be a pleasure.

Wonderful meal in a very cool atmosphere. Had a few apps but the show stopper was the paella!!read more

Ambience was good, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, the food was tasty, but the…read morenearly $70 paella for two was a disappointment and, in my opinion, not worth the price for what you get. There was more than enough rice and tomato's , but the seafood was sparse--and unfortunately, it wasn't particularly impressive in either size or taste. There were just a few shrimp and a small spiny lobster tail, which felt underwhelming for a paella at this price point. I was also surprised that some of the items served for the table, such as bread and olives, were charged separately rather than being complimentary. The olives, to be fair, were particularly good. The patatas bravas, however, were excellent--very flavorful and generous enough for two people on their own. In hindsight, two people would probably be much better off ordering the patatas bravas along with a few tapas of their choice rather than spending nearly $70 on the paella. Overall: good atmosphere, good service, and tasty food, but the paella is WAY overpriced for what you get, particularly given the limited seafood and its lack of quality.

My wife ordered a chicken sandwich, "No onions", got onions, but didn't want to bother them. We got the check, she asked me if I had 2 margaritas? I laughed and said '"No, why?" They charged me $24.00 for my $14.00 house margarita and claimed I ordered their "Casa Amigos Mezcal" which I did not. They refused to adjust the bill. We refused to tip our dishonest waitress. We got this kind of crap when we lived in Park City, Utah, with the restaurants presuming we were tourists only in town for a few days so they could "cave your head in " on the tab. Shady, so shady.

The live music was an awesome touch and made for a fun atmosphere. I was able to bring my pup since I sat outside, which was a huge plus. Just keep in mind that if you're dining on the patio, the service is more limited, you order and pay at the bar, and they'll bring your food out to you. Overall, this is a must-visit if you're in Highlands, North Carolina, especially if you're a fan of great burgers, good beer, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Ended up using the back of the booth for our water bottle and condiments and still struggled for space. Buffalo wings were good but not exactly Buffalo. No buttery spicy hot sauce. It was more peppery than buffalo. Wings were cooked perfectly though Reuben is excellent as are the jalapeno Mac bites. Cheese dip was also excellent but we (and the table next to us) had to ask for more chips. Not portioned terribly well. Beer options were very slim (2 on tap from what it gathered). I'm sure there were plenty of bottled options but draft was disappointing. We ordered the ale but they tapped out and brought us brown ale. At 5pm...only a brown and stout on tap. Overall, it was a pretty middling experience but the food was good and they offer a military appreciation discount.

Absolutely beautiful and cool on a sunny July Day. Kayla, our server, knew about every dish on the menu.

My husband had the Reuben burger sans bun and loved every bite. If you're looking for truly favorable food that is not the typical American menu, I strongly recommend The Celtic Table!

Smaller Portions and High Prices…read more Staff? friendly, outgoing and know the menus well. Food is generally pretty good but many (not all) selections are on the smaller size. So if you have a BIG appetite, you may be in trouble. But good flavors nonetheless. A cup of soup is a teaser. Fish & Chips...Good but again, the serving is on the smaller size. Don't expect a piece of fish that you can grab in your hand. Shepherds Pie - great flavors. One item that should be taken ff the menu completely...the stuffed mushroom appetizer. When these came out we simply could not believe just how small these were. If the mushrooms were the size of a quarter, that would be bragging. Everyone in my party likes or loves to cook and we all wondered where someone could even purchase mush rooms this small. Desserts - well, well, well. Bread pudding and sticky toffee. Fantastic. Prices - Hey look we know that the cost for ingredients has gone up in recent years. That said, this place is on the pricier side. We will still be back but maybe just for dessert!

Description was pecan-crusted chicken breast topped with lemon garlic butter. Chicken was breaded, flattened cutlet tasting of lemon. The cutlet was so flat it was hard to see/taste chicken breast and I couldn't tell if it was pecan crusted or just breaded like in a fast food restaurant. I ordered a side of spaghetti with lemon butter sauce. The spaghetti itself was fresh and tasty, wonderful on its own - should've ordered it without sauce. The pasta sat in a pool of lemon butter sauce that overwhelmed the spaghetti. The prices didn't deter me, I'm used to spending that much and more on a good meal. But that's the problem-for me, this wasn't a good meal. My husband had the lasagna and enjoyed it so maybe it was this one particular dish.

I just don't know what to say, other than it was disappointing and underwhelming. The food was just really not good,and the entree took forever to come out of the kitchen. We both ate less than half of our appetizers and entrees. My crab dip order was like something from a Chili's,the fish so dry you couldn't eat it. I forget what my husband's orders were, but he barely ate them. At the end we shared a skillet cookie for desert and did finish it, even though parts were burned. The staff insisting to shake your hand upon greeting and departing, at the table, was disconcerting as well. For a Relais &Chateaux hotel, not having white table cloths,inferior food,and mediocre service is out of the ordinary. I don't think we'll be back.

Four of us grabbed spots at the bar, ordered Aperol Spritzes, and immediately settled in. We shared the salad and the veggie pizza, and on our waitress's advice added pepperoni--and wow, was that the right move. This pizza is the real deal: incredible color, a perfectly crisp, crunchy crust, and layers of flavor that genuinely blew us away. I make pizza at home (yes, with an Ooni), and this is the kind of pie that makes you pause mid‑bite and say, "Okay... they know what they're doing." Not floppy, not overdone--just expertly made and insanely satisfying. The atmosphere sealed the deal. Sitting at the bar felt fun and communal, with friendly locals, fellow visitors, and staff all contributing to the vibe. It was welcoming, lively, and exactly the energy you want when you first roll into town. Phenomenal pizza, great drinks, and a spot that understands hospitality. We'd come back for the pizza alone--but everything else made it even better.
