This place was so nice and very quiet and relaxing. I sat upstairs but the view of the strand other buildings was nice. The food was so good and the service was amazing.  The interior was decorated so nice and very clean. They made me feel very special, and they took the time to explain the menu, and I never had to ask for anything. The waiter came around very often. I would definitely go back.

We were celebrating our 13 year Wedding Anniversary. The restaurant was Nice! Very upscale and nice for special occasions. The pork Belly was good. The wedge salad was delicious. My steak was decent. Scallop was delicious. My hubby had a NY Strip, it was cooked perfect. Mine was a little too well done. I did not get an $80 portion of food!!! The black eye peas were disgusting! We sent them back. They were Hard and under cooked.
Sam our waiter was Awesome! He did an amazing job!

The classic sundae was Delicious!! Very good quality ice cream and toppings. Drink was good to! Made perfect. This was definitely a one night stand type restaurant. Based on price and portion we will not go back!

Attended the 20th Anniversary Dinner with Chef Bacon. Chef Bacon never disappoints! The food was incredible, many off the menu items available. Wine pairings were perfect. The Oak is always a great experience, and the service can't be beat.

I'm not one for naming names but Oak Steakhouse has just become my go-to for steakhouses downtown. It was my first time so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I assumed the basics: a maitre d, a host, a coat check, ample seating, a fully stocked bar, and because we're in downtown Charleston of course old Charleston brick as a part of the internal architecture and decor. However, in addition to that when we arrived the valet was at the ready. Valet parking downtown is a godsend. It's the difference between a fancy restaurant and an exquisite one of which I believe Oak is the latter. As we entered we were greeted with all of the afore mentioned basics and then promptly seated. My server Dave was extremely kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. He made for a very relaxed and carefree evening. My first course was a winter greens salad which could have easily been an entree with its size. It was fresh and the balsamic dressing was quite tasty. For the next course I had the ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I prefer my steak medium well which can be quite challenging to prepare correctly so I was skeptical. However when it arrived and I started to get into it, it was perfect, dare I say one of the best steaks I've ever had. Flavorful, juicy, and as far as I was concerned, cooked to perfection with no steak sauce or au just needed. The mashed potatoes were creamy and consistent, the steamed asparagus was cooked just right where it was tender but yet still crunchy. So far I was thoroughly impressed. For my final course I chose the strawberry gelato. In step with the rest of my meal it too was perfect. Creamier than anything you would find in the store, comparable to French ice cream. There are other little details that you would have to see for yourself that makes it stand out from other restaurants but I highly recommend you give them a try.

Absolutely loved our dining experience at Oak Steakhouse. We opted to take advantage of the restaurant week menu, which was excellent. The best salad, wreck fish over grits, and chocolate plant butter bar were all delicious. Husband enjoyed french onion soup, the filet, and strawberry gelato. The wines by the bottle offered was an extensive list, and we were delighted to learn that bottles were half off up to $100 and $50 off over $100 on Sundays. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect for my historic building loving heart. ❤️
