    Espresso Martinis
    Stephanie P.

    5 stars all around for The Oak House in Oradell. What a causal and relaxing atmosphere! There's a nice bar area with happy hour deals. The dining area has booth and table seating with lots of oak furnishings. My friend and I enjoyed our first dining experience here for the quality attention, service, and excellent meal! We ordered: -Meatball vodka sauce pizza - amazing dough with a cross between focaccia and Italian bread consistency. The dollop of ricotta also made it a big hit. -Sea Bass with squash risotto - tender fish and the squash risotto had a touch of cinnamon. -10oz filet mignon with a side of spinach - served medium well and great flavor! -Truffle fries for the table - absolutely a must side for our meals. The serving size is tremendous. We have to take it home! -Drinks - chipotle pineapple margarita and espresso martinis delivered in flavor and presentation! -Dessert - graham cracker ice cream. Tasted just like s'mores! Amazing meal from start to finish. Would definitely return!

    This place can get very busy and it can get kind of hard hearing your party because of everyone chatting around you. There are two areas - the bar and the dining room - both were busy on a Saturday evening. We had a large table in the dining room and while the table was big; the space between the banquette and the table was a bit tight for our party. Valet parking available. Our appetizers and entrees were just perfect and everyone left fulfilled.

    We had a nice dining experience. Tommy, our waiter, was great! He gave great recommendations and made the experience better. I liked my drink and my salmon burger and sweet potato fries hit the spot! Both enjoyable! I had pistachio ice cream for dessert but are still not convinced it was pistachio as the receipt said vanilla bean. It was still very good, but not sure. The only things I would change is dim the lights in main dining hall & get better parking. Other than that, enjoyable & I would go back.

    Went here with some girlfriends and had a fantastic time! We sat at a table near the bar and our waiter, Tommy, was amazing. He was so fun and attentive--he even knew our names and brought me a hot towel with lemon after we devoured our wings! We started with delicious appetizers, including the wings and the spinach and artichoke dip, which were perfect for sharing among the five of us. We then split the incredible chickpea salad and a burger, both of which were fantastic. My friend loved the spicy rigatoni with burrata, too. To celebrate a birthday, we finished with the decadent brownie sundae. The atmosphere was lovely, and Tommy truly made the experience memorable. We're already planning our next visit!

    Attended a dinner for the 1st time on a Tues night. Didn't realize that they offer Happy Hour, but only if you sit at the bar. We had an early dinner at 4pm, so it was not busy, which you would think the service would have been top notch, however, it was slow and they forgot my salad and also took forever to serve their bread pudding, but according to my husband, the bread pudding was worth the wait. Picture attached to show the size.

    Happy hour menu

    First time here and we decided on Happy Hour which was from 3:00-6:00pm. You can sit at the bar or any of the booths in the bar area. They have a nice size parking lot, so you won't have issues with parking at all. The happy hour menu is delicious and the drinks are mixed perfectly. The bartenders were super attentive and informative about the menu. We did order one thing off the regular menu which was the Tuna Tar Tar and it was insanely delicious. So I have no regrets. We tried the wings, coconut popcorn shrimp & the meatball parmigiana sliders, everything came out hot, fresh and yummy. I had the strawberry margarita and my hubby had two different beers they had on draft. All in all a great find. We will definitely be back again.

    The Oak House has great decor and friendly staff, but If you're looking for a high end restaurant, this is not it. We started off with smash burger egg rolls which were a special. They were alright, the sauce was enjoyable. Next, we shared the spicy rigatoni and it was cooked well and tasted great. My wife got the 10 oz Filet with Brussel Sprouts. The filet was stringy and grossed her out and the brussel sprouts were very undercooked. I ordered the 16 oz ribeye with grilled asparagus. The ribeye was decent and the asparagus was extremely undercooked. For dessert, I ordered an espresso martini with the dessert special. Both were amazing. Overall, I'd go back for apps and cocktails or dessert. For a nice dinner, I'll pass.

    Steak Sandwich

    My husband and I went to the Oak House for Brunch on a snowy Sunday morning and boy were we delighted! The restaurant itself is a gorgeous modern cabin style building and decor. It is both homie and elegant. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. And the food was absolutely delicious. We didn't order any alcoholic beverages even though we went for lunch so I cannot say much about those. But if I had to guess by the quality of the food, those are probably great too. We ordered mozzarella sticks and an artichoke dip for the table. The homemade mozzarella sticks were absolutely delicious. The dip was the least satisfying of our dishes as I found it a little under seasoned, however it was still tasty. I then had the steak sandwich which was phenomenal with a side of addictive sweet potato fries, and my husband had the steak and eggs which he devoured in seconds! And everything was super well priced. We were very pleased with this place and will most definitely be going back soon.

    Third time back for our annual tradition. Our server was Mike this time and he was excellent! The food is nothing short of delicious. Great for brunch on Sundays.

    Visited the Oak House for happy hour on a Sunday. It's located in what used to be a Charlie Brown's Steakhouse. Fortunately, they've retained the parking lot. It's a nice restaurant, with lots of wood furnishings. We ordered drinks and basically everything on the happy hour menu, which included crispy olives, coconut shrimp, meatball sliders, pulled pork tacos, margarita pizza, wings, and cheeseburger egg rolls. My favorites were the cheeseburger egg rolls and wings. The rest was OK. The meatball sliders were a little bit mushy. The drinks i had were also OK. Service was quick. Not my first choice for happy hour, but not one i'd refuse.

    The Oak House 2 Kinderkamack Rd. Oradell, NJ 07649 Spinach Artichoke Dip Fresh Buratta Organic Chicken Parmesan Steak Sandwich Homemade Key Lime Pie This spot just opened within the last year and already they made their preceding location seem like a distant memory. I was blown away at the quality, as well as quantity of the portions served. The spinach artichoke dip was warm and creamy with a heavy stack of tortilla chips. If you like multiple dipping sauces, they also included salsa and sour cream - the best of multiple worlds! The chicken parm plate had two full size patties! It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with fair sheet of golden brown mozzarella cheese. I didn't even realize this Italian dish was actually organic! The steak sandwich was served with a heaping pile of shredded lettuce and garlic aioli sauce. While I was typically expecting to have a A-1 with my hoagie, I was perfectly fine with the garlic aioli sauce instead. It was a neat variation. The key lime cheesecake was tart and seeet and a perfect closer to the meal! The service was just as fantastic as the food portions. Bartender Chris fulfilled all of my requests from keeping my water glass filled to getting any extra condiments I requested. #theoakhouse #oakhouse #oradellnj #kinderkamackroad #spinachartichokedip #freshburatta #steaksandwich #chickenparmesan #keylimepie #foodstsgram #foodreview #localspots #njeats #foodspots

    Tacos
    Addi H.

    Well, I went to The Oak House in Oradell. But before I note my experience, was this restaurant called something else 3 years ago? after the frozen food Charlie Brown was there? Anyways, I wanted something casual but yet chic, where I can still wear heels. Well, this Lake George joint was filled with plaid , cowboy boots and baseball hats. I wore a simple mini dress and high heel boots. Neitherless to say I was super overly dressed. I was blown away by the aspect of the people, very different from what ever this was 3 years ago. The menu was ( Bareburger has a better menu). The drinks Chipotle Jalapeño Margarita tasted as if it was done by my grandson. I ordered the fish tacos, never had such tasteless dry tacos in my life. My boyfriend ordered some type of lasagna with no meat, which probably came from a box. By the way forgot to mentioned that these two Michelin plates took more than 1/2 hour to reach our table. The sitting was different and awkward, and by 9:00 the tables in the front were empty. Overall, what ever this was 3 years ago, I'm not sure what happened, I will never go back. I should have gone to Ridgewood or Ora down the block. Furthermore, I am not sure why Valet parking is needed to eat a burger at this joint. Not worth my outfit, heels and the wasted make up wasted to enter what ever high end Olive Garden this place is.

This restaurant is known for authentic Spanish small plates, generous paellas, imported Spanish ingredients, decadent desserts, and wonderful warm bread to start your culinary meal with.

The seafood paellas are portion perfect ie; large, the tapas favorites include garlic shrimp, octopus, croquetas, Iberico ham, lamb chops, and seasonal specials. Because the dining room is relatively small, expect a noisy environment. Weekend waits can be long because of this restaurant's popularity, but it is so worth the wait. If one arrives early, there will be no problem with sitting at the bar or nabbing a table. The staff is friendly, the clientele is neighborly, and you're guaranteed to enjoy your restaurant experience here. For Piermont, it's one of the strongest dining experiences available, particularly if one enjoys sharing plates. If you're going for the first time, I'd order the garlic shrimp, a few tapas to share, and one of the paellas for the table.

Nestled just a stone's throw from the Tappan Zee Bridge, the intimate Spanish restaurant offers an experience that is both approachable and memorable. Where some menus can overwhelm diners with endless selections and unfamiliar terminology, Basque takes a more refined approach.

Begin with a selection of tapas before choosing from one of their signature paellas, including seafood, meat, vegetarian, or surf-and-turf options. Pair the meal with a pitcher of sangria and settle in while the kitchen prepares a dinner worth savoring alongside good conversation. Beyond the meal itself, the village of Piermont provides the perfect setting for an evening stroll along the river. It is a charming way to end the night before heading back across the Hudson and down into New Jersey.

Even the food runners were excellent, smiled and said hello when they approached the table. The service was definitely 5 star. The Food, presentation was excellent. The flavors, just weren't there. We started with these beautiful onion rings which were house made. Big, beautiful and fried to a crisp golden perfection,yet taste, there was none. absolutely nothing. the most boring onion ring ever. Then the wedge salad, chopped and soggy. If your going to reinvent a classic salad, it better be good. I had the seared yellow fin tuna, again what happen to the flavor. it had a carrot ginger puree, that was more for color than flavor. the best part was the arugula pickled onions and tomatoes that came on the plate. My dinner partner had 16 oz prime dry age rib eye, which he did not enjoy. I am not a meat eater but tastes it and was not impressed. this steak was so thin. they took 16oz and spread it across the entire plate, taking away the true essences of a steak. I was pretty disappointed in the food but the cocktails were very good as well as their wine-selection. I beautiful place with great staff, which i would go back maybe just for happy hour. One other disappointment is with being such an nice steakhouse and all of the staff dressed and all so professional why isn't there any type os dressed code. Why are they allowing people to dine in sweatpants and messy t shirts. They should have a requirement. most diners were dressed so nice but allowing sweat pants. my two star rating is based solely on the flavor of the food.

The lighting is dim, the ambiance is intimate, and it looks romantic. I had made reservations so we were seated immediately. It's funny to note that the place settings were placed next to each other instead of across from each other at a four person table. We usually prefer to face each other, but when it's Valentine's day why not be cute? We ordered a few drinks during our dinner, the Sugar Plum Fairy, Memere 75, Avion en papier. My favorite was definitely the Avion en papier which had a slightly sweet, slightly bitter, citrusy taste. They had a pre fixe menu for Valentine's Day which unfortunately did not have the steak tartare i was interested in trying. But for $88, you get 3 courses: an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For our appetizers, we got the TARTARE DE THON (tuna tartare) and COCKTAIL DE CREVETTES GEANTES (shirmp cocktail). Between the two, i preferred the tuna tartare. The shrimp cocktail was good, but the only thing really special about it was the massive size of the shrimp and the freshly grated horseradish in the cocktail sauce. For our entrees, we got the CASSOULET DE CANARD and FILET MIGNON. The extremely tender duck leg confit was served with pancetta, white beans, toulouse sausage, and foie gras breadcrumb. It was rich, savory, fatty, and filling. All great words to describe food. The duck leg confit reminded me a little bit of a smoked turkey leg with the red coloring and shreddable texture. The filet mignon was served with pomme purée, wild mushrooms, and a bordelaise sauce. The filet was cooked medium rare as requested, but a bit under salted. The pomme purée aka mashed potatoes tasted like it was 50% butter so it was obviously delicious. Dessert was good, but my least favorite part of the meal. We got the TAHITIAN VANILLA CRÈME BRÛLÉE and the VALRHONA CHOCOLAT POT AU CRÈME. Both were very sweet. The brûlée crust did not shatter well, but it otherwise had a nice creamy texture. The chocolate pot was covered in flaky feuilletine which gave a nice contrast to the creamy chocolate, but my wife found the brandied cherries overpowering. The cherries made me think of German chocolate cake. Service was excellent. Staff was quick to refill water and checked on us constantly. Pace of the meal was relaxed and I'd even say they were slow to bring us the check since we had been dining for over 2 hours. My wife wants me to bring her back for their bottomless brunch on a Sunday so I will eventually be back.
