Original American Kitchen (oak)

The OAK is a really special and very well organized restaurant. They are good vegetarian options there to get some healthy food. Will definitely come back when I’m in Gainesville.

Visited tonight for dinner as my fiancé and I were passing through. This particular neighbourhood is inundated with dining establishments. I ordered a Captain and Coke, and she had a Black Widow cider to drink. We shared an order of Buffalo Style Cauliflower to start. My fiancé ordered Braised Boneless Ribs and I had a Beet and Arugula Salad with Candied Pecans and Goat Cheese topped with Angus Steak (upcharge) Our meals were served quickly and were flavourful. The portion sizes did not disappoint. The prices were slightly North of Average but not totally unreasonable. Our waitress Amanda was great. She was fun, attentive and professional. She even helped us find our hotel for the evening. We would not hesitate to return to Original American Kitchen. Thank you!

After a memorable meal next door at Harry 's the previous night, we thought we 'd give OAK a try. I will try anyone 's fried green tomatoes, and nobody has beaten Harry 's (yet). OAK serves theirs with pimiento cheese spread on the *bottom* of them, and honestly, it 's more like lumpy shredded cheddar with very little flavor. But the tomatoes themselves were good, and the sauces are good, too. And it 's DEFINITELY enough to fill you up. Son ordered the prime rib flatbread which he enjoyed greatly. Also ordered a side of truffle mac and cheese which he said was just okay. I knew when I saw 'sweet tea short rib ' on the menu that my husband would be ordering that. He said it was delicious. If the two of them wanted those same meals again, I would have a hard time eating those fried green tomatoes knowing that Harry 's is right next door. Our server was training another server, and I 'm pretty sure that she 's only new to this restaurant; she certainly seemed to know what she was doing. Location is loud; sometimes it is hard to hear what 's being said across the table from you.

I went to Eiche this weekend and had the best time! I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the company. When we came there and put our name on the list, the hostess was very friendly and accurate about our short waiting period. The restaurant was very clean and after safe Kovid procedure. You had to wear a mask when you entered and some of the tables were left open. The service was very consistent and we did not have to wait too long for food. When the food came out, it was nice and warm and saw very present. It tasted just as good as it looked. Overall, I had the best experience.

The OAK is a very special and very well organized restaurant. They are good vegetarian options there to get a healthy meal. Will definitely come back when I'm in Gainesville.
