We went to oaken a couple weeks ago for late brunch. The place looks absolutely beautiful, we really admired the design of the space. The food was really good, we got chilaquiles (was sooooo good! and smoked turkey Rueben sandwich (was a really good Rueben . Overall the food and atmosphere was great and is defiantly worth the visit.The service, however, has some room for improvement. While our server was very friendly and nice, the service in general was a little on a slower end. The restaurant had may be 3 tables at the time when we were there, so it wasn’t busy by any stretch of imagination. So there was no real reason for dragging out on taking our order or dropping the bill down. Overall...
We were surprised to find Oaken Bistro Bar in a Hyatt Place, but decided to give it a try. It was a lovely setting and our server could not have been nicer. The kitchen was a bit slow, but our server kept us informed and we had lots to talk about, so it was no big deal. The Penne with Mushrooms, sausage and cheese was fantastic, the portion size perfect and the presentation in a skillet made for a fine meal.
Susie our waitress was wonderful-so attentive and has a great personality. The food did take over an hour to be brought out to us from when we ordered to when it came out which felt very long. The prices are fairly high for having to wait and the salmon which almost all 6 of us ordered was overcooked. I suppose it was because we had to wait so long and they were down some staff in the kitchen. Just a guess.
The raspberry tea had a very unique presentation and tasted wonderful. The omelette was good and the overall ambience was chic and relatively modern. The service was fine, but could have been a bit better, although perhaps it was just an off day.

We only went to the bar, but we had a wonderful experience with the bartender, Draggon. He’s such a great guy and makes the best drinks! The other staff members were also very friendly and welcoming. We look forward to visiting again!
We had a fantastic brunch with friends and family after my wedding. A month later, we returned and enjoyed the same wonderful experience!
Certainly overrated. It might be passable for average, gullible suburbanites who don’t venture out often or know any better.
I was in town for work and hit up the bistro for dinner. Susie was amazing and the food was delicious!

Susie was a great server and created an amazing atmosphere for our large group. Thank you Susie!
The place is great, very nicely styled, though the service could have been faster.
