    Wonderful as always. Tried something new, the stroganoff and it surpassed my expectations. Such a lovely earthy surprise. We always drive away thinking Oakleys is the best restaurant in the area.

    Everything was great but service was a little slow. There was a large party next to us but very few people other than that and us and it was still pretty slow.

    Nice wines. I liked my flatbread but the french onion soup was too hot and mediocre.

    food presentation was wonderful. However, the entree had little flavor and was almost tasteless. Service was great.

    It was crazy busy & lots of employees hustling. It felt kinda crowded. There were 4 of us , and we enjoyed our food. The wine list has very few wines by the glass & they were out of the one I wanted
