A Must-Visit Spot! I absolutely loved this restaurant! The atmosphere is super cool, perfect for a romantic date or a fun night out with friends. The drinks are fantastic, not only delicious but also beautifully presented. And the food? Wow. Every dish I ordered was simply amazing.

- I loved their wings and brussel sprouts; half chicken was also tasty - really pleasant atmosphere that is calm - the service was excellent
Cozy bistro in Cambridge. I’ve been craving for their thousands layer potato since last visit! The table setting was so sweet and welcoming. We liked every plate we ordered. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were top notch. One thing they might improve is that the pasta was a little heavy to my taste.
Had a wonderful birthday dinner here🎂 Great food, warm atmosphere and welcoming service. We enjoyed every dishes we ordered. Oyster is buttery and crispy, very good appetizer. Octopus was smoky, juicy, and tender, roasted and flavored perfectly. It was the best octopus we’ve had around Boston. A bite of spinach, octopus, potato, dipped with cream was such a feast. Cornbread …
I genuinely feel like I haven't had a meal like this, start to finish, in a restaurant for so long. The food is phenomenal! The service is great and the restaurant is very cute. We started with the cornbread and the artichoke cakes. The corn bread and accompaniments were very good. It was moist, sweet, savory. The artichoke cakes. SO. …
Oak Bistro was a great host for my family’s Valentine’s Day lunch. The food was great - especially enjoyed the taste and presentation of the Tuna. Our drinks were also well done. Thanks to Colleen H for taking good care of us.

We waited no more than a minute before the bartender brought us water and menus and our drinks then quickly followed. The food came out steaming, flavorful, and fresh; you could really taste the farm-to-table difference! We …
One of the best places I've ever been to! Their cocktail selection is incredible and extremely creative (I especially recommendthe Starry Night and the Blank Canvas). The food is so fresh, and their takes on traditional plates will leave you craving more. Finally, the service is beyond perfect. Anita was patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. This was …
This is an excellent spot that’s open very late unlike most Boston area eateries and especially if going later in the day - you do not need a reservation and that’s also not common The drinks are outstanding and food is flavourful - almost playful. Wings were some of the best we’ve had - and the focaccia might not be …
We had a group of eight visiting from across the US and Europe for a corporate dinner, and every dish was a hit with our entire group. The food was fresh, delicious and there were many unique items to try. A special shoutout to our waitress, Anita, who was absolutely fabulous. She patiently answered all of our menu questions and …
