I was pretty excited to be going out on the island to a local pub, especially hearing about how friendly people are on the island. Sadly, I was majorly disappointed. From the moment we walked in, the women at the front gave us attitude when we were looking for our friends to sit down. The entire night, we felt like we were an inconvenience for being there and you could feel the judgement from the staff if you dare ask them a question or want to have a friendly chat. I never once got asked for a refill and the staff were very rude about clearing our table. Not asking how anything was, just giving attitude while clearing our spot. I will never be back. The vibe of it all completely threw us off.

I used to love coming here but the last few times service has been shockingly bad. So I’m posting this as a warning to people who might not be aware of the “new” ownership (a couple of years now). This place is not like how it used to be. It used to be a really fun and welcoming environment. The people who work there now act like the customers are getting in their way and annoying them. Service takes forever. Last time I was there I waited 15 minutes just to order a beer.. No apology when someone finally arrived to take the order and she was sour to boot. Good food and it’s still a beautiful pub, but for the money you’re better off going somewhere where the service is decent.

Was such a pleasant surprise! Wanted to watch the women’s NCAA basketball semifinals and searched out a location with TV’s. They put in on right away. The food surprised me. I ordered the Buddha Bowl with Salmon. It was delicious and the salmon cooked perfectly.

I had the black bean burger it was a little dry, everyone else's meals looked good, I would go back again and try something different

I must admit, my recent dining experience left me feeling rather disheartened. Initially excited to try the fish and chips, my enthusiasm quickly waned when presented with an unexpectedly scant portion of chips—a disappointing start, indeed. Moreover, the accompanying ketchup was provided in the smallest ramekin imaginable. Sadly, the main component, the fish, did not redeem the situation; it was encased in an overly thick and overcooked beer batter, resulting in a rather unpleasant aftertaste. Regrettably, I found myself unable to finish more than half of the exceedingly dry and flavorless fillet. On a brighter note, the coleslaw, albeit a minor part of the meal, was delightfully refreshing. Thankfully, the Arrow Lager I chose to drink was exceptionally good, and the service provided by our server was nothing short of excellent—attentive, kind, and efficient, ensuring our glasses were never empty.I do understand that rising food costs present a challenge, yet it appears this situation may be indicative of a broader issue with shrinkflation and a lapse in quality control over the dishes served to customers. I earnestly hope for improvement, as I believe you have the potential to offer a far better dining experience.

Fast service, by the time my game loaded I was being served my food. Welcoming servers and atmosphere. I was entertained that We Don't Talk About Bruno made it onto the playlist for a Saturday evening. Food was delicious and filling.

Worst service I’ve ever had. We listened to 3 teenage girls who worked there talking about the guys who just did a dine and dash on them. Swearing and acting like their parents own the place. There should be a manager around to supervise these gossip girls. We never did get a drink, waited 15 minutes while watching this drama go on.
Pubish experience in a restaurant atmosphere. With kids running around, gave me a memory of Ireland.Kid-friendliness: there they were, but I did check the menu for them.

had my first visit to the oak on Friday and it will NOT be my last! I was greeted with a warm smile seconds from walking inside, menu is amazing, I ordered the beef dip - fantastic bun, thin sliced meat and the jus, omg the jus - not overpowered with rosemary like most other places - the jus was spot on! service was fantastic, alcohol selection is what you'd expect from a pub. All and all a fantastic experience, hats off to the kitchen - thank you for a great meal and also a shout out to all the front of house staff and bartenders - i truly enjoyed my visit as mentioned will be back!

Fantastic place and great teamwork amongst the staff. One of the more vertically challneged works (think her name was Tammy) wasnt able to reach the liquor i ordered but her slightly taller co worker (Katie i think her name is the one with long finger nails) gave her a boost and I was able to get my drink in satisfactory time. Great team cohesion i will deffinitly be back every day beacause of this (and i dont have a life)

The food and service were good but the hard surfaces and high ceilings make it a noisy place. Some sound conditioning would make this a truly enjoyable place to eat.
