Oakleaf - Table reservation

Incredible restaurant which has become one of my top choices for an upscale dinner. Highlights included the lil biscuits with truffle cheese and ham, tempura mushrooms, and zabaglione dessert. The menu changes frequently and is always fresh. The wine list is diverse and our server was fairly knowledgeable about pairings. The only thing I felt was missing were a few more old-world wines, particularly reds. The majority were from Napa Valley and, while they were clearly of high quality, the European selection was a bit sparse. However, this is only a personal preference :)Service was excellent--unobtrusive but attentive and always within eyesight. The place was very clean and the ambiance was...

We went to Oakleaf to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and are so glad we did! We were planning on ordering the chef’s spontaneous tasting menu. It was graduation and Mother’s Day weekend, and it turned out the chef had taken the tasting option off the dinner menu since it was going to be so busy—but he made it for us for the occasion! Very kind and not at all expected. But we are so glad he did because it was absolutely delicious. It included 5 courses and 3 mini-courses and we got to try homemade ravioli, duck, and steak, among other things. Everything was cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. They sent out a candle and a little note with dessert, which was a thoughtful touch....

My wife and I dined at Oakleaf on a Tuesday evening, and the restaurant (as well as Carrboro) were very busy. We were seated a couple minutes earlier than our reservation and the service was spot on. The presentation and quality of the food was excellent and we enjoyed every morsel. My wife ordered a Caesar salad and some scallops, while I ordered deviled eggs and a Halibut entree. The Halibut was unlike any preparation I have ever had before and it was fantastic. The Mud Candy or vegetable of the day was a combination of broccolini, bok choy, garlic and it was delicious! This was our first time at Oakleaf and we look forward to our next visit.

the service is naturally perfect, and the ambiente is very beautiful. we had the cheese plate that was beautiful. my son had the ravioli and loved her. I had the softshell crab and thought it should have been crispy instead of asggy as it was unfortunately. I had the flounder and felt I could have made him home. we had the cheesecake and the chocolate for dessert and both were absolutely delicious. we're coming back.
