   We are heartbroken that Oak & Rowan is closing. Every single time we went to this establishment it was an amazing experience. The General Manager, Cassie is outstanding and and always remembered us and made sure we had a wonderful experience. All the wait staff, bartenders, and kitchen staff were friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel like family. Oak and Rowan will be missed. People should check out their sister restaurant in Newburyport, Brine.

   Outstanding food, soft but lively atmosphere. Accommodating staff was able to get us seated early. We enjoyed the oysters, octopus, beef tartar, duck tortellini, and the Rohan Duck. Dessert was amazing, something with rhubarb. Only thing that was not as I expected were the pickles. No biggie. Great place would highly recommend.

   Food: This place focuses on food. Its creative and the menu is full of items that I would not be able to create at home. Service: our server was truly amazing. Extremely engaging is a very positive way. helped to navigate a couple annoying allergies that I have. Truly over the top. Drinks: The cocktails were pretty awesome too. Helpfully listed by primary alcohol. Overall: A great experience.

   Delicious food, excellent service with great recs for both food and wine pairing. Really liked the decor and vibe, noise level was equivalent to a typical dinner party, not at all intrusive to our table’s conversation. Presentation was visually appealing and the menu innovative (oysters with lemongrass and lime mignonette!). Will definitely come back.

    The food at Oak and Rowan is among my favorite in Boston - I've been half a dozen times, and it's consistently amazing. The rotating menu means that there's always something new to try as well!

    We decided to give Oak+Rowan a second try and we’re so glad we did. They certainly did not disappoint. The staff was great, and it was evident they worked very well as a team. Every dish was delicious and plated to perfection. Already looking forward to experiencing Oak+Rowan again! NB: I was very impressed by the use of cold stones with the oysters. Traditional plating is on a bed of ice, which I feel is water waste. I love seeing businesses keep sustainability and local food sourcing at the forefront.

    My wife and I dined out during a meeting at the Convention Center. A convenient walk including a flight of stairs from Summer St down to A St. The food, service and food were all exceptional. All of the dishes had a wonderful range of taste combinations. We thoroughly enjoyed the chef composed beet and carrot appetizers with 2 mains of scallops and fish stew at the recommendation of our server, Aline. She was always there when needed but not overbearing or hovering. Her recommendations were apot on. Both desserts onnthe menu were excellent. We’ll be coming back tomorrow!

    I have really tried to like this place. I have been 3 times, 3 strikes they are of my list. There is no service. One time we waited so long for our server to bring our food, when we got up to ask they told us the server left. No one had bothered to take over his tables. It didn't get better in our next two tries.

    We had a really great dining experience with a group of 6. Place has a great look with exposed brick and high ceiling and bar is positioned where you could comfortably get drinks before being seated. Hostess and waiter were friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the duck which I really loved. Plenty of wine choices at reasonable prices. Overall really, really good.

    No finer food in Boston - Oak & Rowan has amazing chefs with incredible and unique dishes. The menu changes regularly so it's hard to name great dishes. The fish choices are always great, same with pasta. And the bar special burger with fries is worth the calories. Bar choices are innovative and generous.
