"We have been patronizing AO since day one and have always loved it, our kids have practically grown up there. We have ordered take out frequently during the pandemic to make sure they stayed in business. However, they have never been able to get their ordering/kitchen system worked out. Some times when you order, you actually get your food in twice the time the promised. On a number of occasions we have been turned away from ordering, telling us to call back later, then when you call back they say they are too busy, leaving you without a meal. I know it's a struggle to keep up with take out as dine in comes back, but they don't seem to know how to figure it out (when most other restaurants seem to). So disappointing."

BOMB truffle fries and bread pudding. Nice outdoor seating. Attentive and friendly service. Food is slow, but worth the wait. Mmmm mmm!

If you want a good cocktail, no, a really good cocktail, come here, the bartenders are so good , and knowledgeable. I can recommend the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned! Delicious!

Verification of Covid vaccine required for indoor seating. Great environment for a date night. We were sat promptly and taken care of with outstanding customer service. We've been here a few times and forgot how much we enjoyed coming here. Try the whiskeys . You will not regret it. View menu

I found this place on Yelp. I thought it was so cute I'd give it a chance. When I got there I ordered the flat iron steak ,spinach and grits! When I ordered my drink It was from a photo I saw on their Yelp page but I was told that it was seasonal for the restaurant but, they still were able to make it minus a few garnishes. Everything was delicious I'll definitely be back !

Came here for post dinner drinks- amazing ambience and the bartender went above and beyond in making us the most delightful drinks. Not only did he give us samples of a few different whiskeys, he made sure the grapefruit was freshly squeezed in what might be the mezcal paloma I've ever had. Service was impeccable and loved the whole experience can't wait to come back for dinner.

Alway great when you can find a good ole American comfort food place having grown up in the Midwest. This place hit the spot from the whisky to steak to Mac n cheese to corn bread. We were told it would be about 30 mins or so wait for table outside so we choose to sit instead at the bar which was nice because it was right by the whisky. Bartenders were friendly and funny. And the hubby and I enjoyed a great date night out. We'll be back! View menu

Drinks here are always top notch! If you order from the bar's happy hour or regular drink menu your find some delightfully crafted beverages. Food is pretty mediocre as is the wait service. All other staff seem to very nice and on it. But some of the servers seem not to care that much. Food is pretty unpredictable in cook temperatures. I've had dried out burgers, and at $19 that burger should be spot on. The restaurant itself is cool, decorated well and with nice ambience. They're definitely understaffed and that's causing them problems, but for a more expensive dining experience they should level some of these things up.

American Oak, you're overpriced and you ain't that good... I never leave a bad review, but sheesh!Service was okay, but the food was really unremarkable. We got the gem salad which included a few frozen baby shrimp, a couple pieces of old lettuce and a few radishes and maybe some trader joes salad dressing for $15. More than lackluster. Then we got the burger, definitely frozen with a bunch of Lawry's seasoning. They even charge $2 for pickles... it didn't even come with a tomato. Fries were frozen. We won't be back and I'd bet money this restaurant won't be in business in a couple years. The only star comes from the $5 house white wine.
