Editorial Review for Oak Room Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
With its carved plaster ceiling, baroque Edwardian woodwork and deep-red draperies, the Oak Room is as gorgeous as it ever was. Diners may find themselves seated next to a youthful couple and their dressed-up, well-behaved kids out celebrating a birthday--or the same kids 20 years later applauding Mom and Dad's anniversary. The menu relies on perfectly grilled, massive slabs of fish and meat, as well as appetizer classics like oysters Rockefeller and clams casino.

We went to the Oak Room for our office Christmas Party and I have to say that we were greatly disappointed!!! We were impressed with the decor but that was about it...the service and the food was just mediocre, from the appetizers to the entrees to dessert! The waiters were not attentive nor friendly and the place wasn't even packed! We have been to a few "top of the line" steakhouses around Boston and I can honestly say that this was a huge letdown...a restaurant to this caliber should never have an "off" night..we spent alot of money for food that night and the experience was just "OK"... Sadly enough, I don't think I will ever give it a second chance and I haven't recommend it to anybody who loves food!

Pros: the decor is beautiful

Cons: the food and service is just mediocre

I went out with a party of 17 to this swanky venue and DAMN was I impressed! Our waiter was so great and friendly we were almost shocked at how attentive he was. ALLLL of the food on the menu is great ( yes I got to see a huge chunk of the menu with 17 plates at the table) but if this kind of place is a once and a while thing for you, there is no point in going if you do not get the steak. Filet mignon, DIVINE... If you really want to splurge, go for the Kobe Beef... phenominal...

Pros: Service, Quality and Freshness of Food

Cons: Valet Parking.
