My husband and I went to Oak for the first time to celebrate a special night about a month ago. Not only was the food the absolute best meal we have ever had, but the experience was by far the best as well. Everyone from our server to the G.M was so attentive and made sure we had a wonderful...

We simply loved our meal at the OAK STEAKHOUSE !! Of course, we had steak and it was prepared as we asked and was tender and delicious. The service was also excellent . Certainly would go back when we revisit Charleston. Glad we didn't miss this wonderful restaurant !!!

Had a great personable waiter, artisanal cheese plate was great of all local cheeses. Ribeye perfect melt in your mouth, smoky cheddar mac and cheese delish. All good, relaxed atmosphere not too loud

I've had some good steak, but this is the best I've had to date. We also had a crab cake made largely of crab meat with little filler and lots of flavor. The cauliflower au-gratin was also a huge hit with us. Overall a very good experience and we will be back!

Recommended by the hotel staff. It was our anniversary and at first they put us on the third floor. Lovely small room - tablecloths, but there was a high chair awaiting a couple with a child next to us. I expect children at a family restaurant, but was not willing to chance a screaming child at an expensive, upscale restaurant.... More

First time there. Our waitress was funny and a great server. We had many great wines and the beef tartar was awesome. Great atmosphere, great staff and food.

My husband and I are locals, but had never experienced Oak. We decided to try it for our anniversary dinner last night. From start to finish - it was amazing. We checked in and the hostess immediately wished us a happy anniversary and said she had a great table in mind for us. We enjoyed a drink at the bar... More

For our anniversary we visited Charleston for a few days. We did not tell them that it was our anniversary when we made reservations at the Oak Steakhouse, as we did not want any special attention. We were looking for something special for the occasion and a bit upscale. That is exactly what we got! We were immediately seated on... More

Oak is a wonderful upscale place for a special celebration (in this case a birthday) in a historic former bank building in downtown Charleston. While it prides itself on its outstanding steaks, everything they serve is of the highest quality. While we were there, we received a lot of attention from several different servers, but we did have a little... More
