Oakleys Bistro

It has been many years since we dinned at Oakleys Bistro but it won't be long till we are back. The service was terrific, starting with a mouthwatering explanation of the specials for the night. Started with the Butternut Squash maple soup followed by tasty crispy Indian pork schnitzel. This eatery is quiet and lends itself to a relaxing evening. Give it a try.

We had a reservation at 7:15 and arrived a little early. Our table was ready. If making a reservation you may want to request a booth or against the wall because the chairs are not comfortable at all. Our server came and asked if we were ready to order. He didn't introduce himself or share the specials we had to inquire. When he return he did share his name and had to check to see what was still available of the specials. The food was delightful! However, I did inform our server that I had a nut allergy specifically pine nuts. I'm not sure how allergies are managed, but I noticed a green pesto in the waffle and lobster and requested he confirm there was no nuts. He returned and informed me there was. I'm so glad I caught it, it would have ruined the dinner and the evening. We ordered several items: shrimp corn dog, Tennessee eggrolls, the special appetizer, lobster and waffle, Brussels sprouts, and a cocktail but I can't remember the name. Everything I ate provided wonderful arrays of flavor and textures. If I return, I certainly want a different server.

Brother Oakley, your vibes are off.Something about this place. When I walk in (been here twice) it just feels weird. Full of olds and in a strip mall might be the root of the weirdness. I came here recently when it was busy. Server was cool. Drinks took a while to arrive but food was pretty quick. Shrimp corndogs and deviled eggs for appetizers which were stellar. I was torn between 4 entree items and was told that the meatloaf was a favorite. Could hardly believe that but I do like meatloaf so gave it a try. I'm used to a looser, greasier meatloaf. This was like two slabs of Spam that had been out of the can a little too long. Not sure what people like about it. Also, it was served with an uncut head (pause) of broccoli which was hardly cooked. Very strange dish but I guess it's popular amongst the previously mentioned olds...? Unfortunately, my wife loves this place so I'm sure I'll be back :/

My mom and I came here for a break from the hospital. It was a lovely little escape. The decor was nice; however, I did feel that the music was too loud.My mom ordered the special soup - roasted chestnut. It was delicious and very, very rich. I had the French Onion ('ish) Soup. I say "'ish" because it had the basic components - croutons, onions, and cheese - but it wasn't very beefy. The broth was garlic-forward which I enjoyed very much, but it was different. There was a lot of pepper and not much cheese. So, tasty, but not my fave.We split a mushroom stroganoff. I thought it was delicious, but VERY rich and oily. I'm glad that was not my entire meal.Our server was great! He kept my tea glass full.

Oh wow! The food choices are so unique and delicious! We were looking for interesting food choices and that is why we chose Oakleys Bistro. I made reservations through the site a few hours before we arrived on a Friday night. It looked like almost every table was occupied and there were people really enjoying their company and the atmosphere. This restaurant is located in a better looking strip mall, but the outside and especially the inside give the vibe of fine dining. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable of the food and attentive. Oh the food tasted amazing! We loved the unique flavors of the Frios Gras and Jam.. or the bread dipped in a beef tallow candle! Loved the Indiana pork Schnitzel with the extra special sauce. It definitely gave the vibes of an upscale pork tenderloin that we Hoosiers love! I also enjoyed my mushroom Paella! The depth of flavors were amazing! I want to make this a place I take all my friends!

Overall a fantastic restaurant. The service was very good and quick. The drinks were really good and unique! The food was delicious. The duck was unbelievable and incredibly fresh. This was such a good date night restaurant, it was dark, quiet, and very fun. I highly recommend!

Oakleys keeps getting better and better. This is truly a hidden gem on the north side of town. Ambiance is warm and inviting. Food is always well prepared, on the inventive side without being too 'out there' and you leave feeling satisfied. Vegetarians will delight at the many options they always have on the menu. Recently had a phenomenal mushroom paella that was full of a wide variety of vegetables. Heavenly. Don't skip the small plates - always something fun on that menu. Usually we are too full for dessert but when we have dessert here it is also excellent.

Oakley's Bistro offers farm to table and tasting experiences. I went here for a work meeting, and the chef came out and explained each dish. The service was impeccable in that regard. It was nice but not incredibly fancy inside. Inviting, is how I would describe it. Enjoyed all my dishes. The first time Ive had a multiple-course meal like this. Will take my wife here next time.

We randomly happened upon Oakleys after a hot Costco date. Place was busy and we grabbed seats at the bar. Amazing drinks, had a vieux carre and a Long Island. For dinner we both had the specials. Mine was prawns and pork cheek, with cheese grits and veggies. Also had a lobster waffle which had tons of lobster and was really special. Hubby had the beef medallions, which were the best thing he's eaten in a while. Amazing spot that you wouldn't expect just driving by. Will be back.

the food was excellent but moderate amount. The meatloaf by my estimate was a little over 3 ounces. The service was fair but confrontational when I asked if I could take a birthday cake in for my wife from my car. "No" was the response. That management wants you to buy their desserts. I said okay we'll buy but do you do anything for birthdays. A cake? "Well I think I can find a candle or two." There were 7 of us and the bill was close to $400. I said then I will not return. We did get a paid dessert with a candle. Not sure who they think they are. Very pretentious for my liking. I can find food just as good for less money and a100% more friendly.
