    Oaken is always very consistent. Excellent drinks, very good food and good service. Last night was a little noisy and slow to receive our food because of the holiday bizarre, but overall still very good.

    We were a party of 7 — our server did a fantastic job of dealing with a large group. The food was wonderful and we were happily surprised with the 50 percent discount on bottles of wine on Tuesdays. We’re looking forward to our next get together here!

    The big pretzel was amazing, pizza was good, drinks were flowing. Music was .. loud .. and present .. but overall we had a really good night out with the kids. Wasn't particularly cheap, so maybe not soon, but would definitely do again!
