I had a Cesar salad that had chunks of the ends of the lettuce - annoying. And whatever seasoning that was on the chicken didn't go with the vibe of the salad and was dry as a bone. My friend ordered seared scallops which came thrown on top of a cartoon like pile of fries. She didn't have time to complain because the waitress was out to ask us how it was before we had a bite (the runner brought the food). When she finally came back to ask if we needed boxes - my friend explained the issues with the inedible scallops. The waitress said the owner was there and would come talk to us. The owner didn't come out, a manager never came, and the waitress dropped the bill off and walked away. She came back with the machine to run cards - no apology, no please come back another time ... nothing. I am from Maynard and was embarrassed that this is what happened.

We were happy with all 3. We both devoured the chicken al limone, seriously so good. A delicious lemon sauce with capers and sun dried tomatoes. Yum! The Caesar salad was great. Price is worth it for a scratch kitchen! Highly recommend trying

The seating whether it's front or back is warm and comfortable, 2 different feels so to speak which is really a great option.

Also has a really comfortable front dining room. The back dining room is excellent = open kitchen, windows all around a great view of Concord and the train! Cozy banquet seats and a few choice counter seats looking in the open kitchen (favorite)!

We visited Oak Barrel Tavern as a party of four and the experience was just okay. I put myself on…read morethe waitlist before driving 30 minutes, not realizing that they run both a reservation system and a waitlist at the same time. Even though we were first on the waitlist when we arrived, we still ended up waiting another 20 minutes while several parties who arrived after us were seated before us. There were three girls working the front desk. They were pleasant, but they seemed pretty confused and unsure of how the waitlist was supposed to work, which didn't make the wait any easier. Our waitress was very friendly, and the service at the table was good. The food itself was fine, but nothing really stood out. The children's juice box being $4 definitely caught my attention. It felt a bit steep for what it was. Overall, it was a pretty average experience. We decided to skip dessert and went across the street instead. I wouldn't rush back, but it wasn't terrible. Just not particularly memorable.

I had the single weirdest retail experience of my life at this place today…read more A brewery I like that doesn't often ship to Massachusetts announced a list of retailers who would be distributing their beers, Sudbury Wine and Spirits among them. Since they're a 15-minute drive from my house, I called when they opened to make sure they actually had it. No answer. Maybe their hours were affected by the coronavirus. Understandable, though there was nothing posted about a change in business hours on their website or Facebook page--and they proved to be unreachable on the phone, too. Finally, I decided to throw caution to the wind and head over there. When I arrived, the lights were on, the open sign was out, but the door was locked and there didn't appear to be anyone inside. I called again; no answer. I was about to drive away empty-handed when another guy pulled up, tried the door, and then knocked, and someone inside opened the door... Turns out it was another customer. The manager had gone into the back without realizing she was inside, still shopping, so we were all at a loss as to what to do. The other guy and I were there for this beer, so we headed to the back. It wasn't in the display case, but it was in the cooler behind it, so we each grabbed a four-pack--no one likes a hoarder these days--and headed to the front. Still no manager. He eventually emerges, but with no apology for keeping anyone waiting, and no explanation. He looked at the two of us with beer and said the limit was one CAN per customer, let us know how very difficult it would be to enter this new beer into their system and that it would take a long time to do that (he'd been open for over an hour at that point, and the beer had plainly not JUST gotten there), and then admonished us for going in the cooler. I've never heard of a liquor store that doesn't allow its customers into the cooler, and there were certainly no signs barring us from doing so. Perhaps if he'd been present in the store, he could have told us his rules? He also said he'd be calling his distributor and telling them to never distribute this beer through him again, since I guess he doesn't want business during a pandemic that's shuttering the economy? No problem--I won't be darkening his doorstep for any reason ever again. (Also, he could have sold out of the stuff faster if he'd allowed people to purchase four-packs...) The final straw was this: after ringing each of us up, he LICKED HIS FINGERS to open the paper bag he was putting our ONE CAN of beer into, and then grabbed the beer WITH THE SAME FINGERS to place it inside. I have seen so many businesses bend over backwards to be kind and thoughtful during this public health crisis. This was...not one of them.
