For events, the food is better than you would expect. But as an indoor sit down restaurant, I wanted a little more from the food not just event/catered foods served individually... Overall the food was good/okay. Other than the eggplant fries, nothing screamed come back for more. Service was okay. She definitely wasn't knowledgeable about the drinks and she couldn't bother to ask the bartender (I didn't realize there was a whole bar/ bar section until walking out) I asked if one of their drinks had a specific ingredient and the response was I don't know. And my aunt wanted a mocktail ( non-alcoholic cocktail) for her bday since she doesnt drink and the server said they didn't offer any. Any bartender knows at least 1 mocktail recipe, but like I said she couldn't bother to ask and I didn't realize there was a bar on the other side or I would have just went over and asked myself... If someone had an event here I'd be happy to go, but as a non-event diner I'm not in a rush to go back...

Oak Beach Bar + Grill is a restaurant and bar that opened in West Haven, Connecticut in December…read more2022. It was founded by business partners Gino Fetta, his son Luigi Fetta, along with cousin and chef Al Dinofrio and friend Mark Lynch. Both Gino and Luigi have 60+ years of combined experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. They had initially been looking for a space to open a new restaurant in Milford, but then they learned of the availability of a space along the shoreline in West Haven. The space had hosted a number of restaurants over the years, including Savin Rock Roasting Company. Gino is a lifelong butcher and had previously operated as the "meat man" behind the aforementioned restaurant. Luigi has a wealth of knowledge of mixology and a strong passion for food. The father and son completely gutted the space, gave it a nautical theme, and named their eatery after the nearby Oak Street Beach. The menu (which is always changing) features a variety of Italian-influenced entrees, seafood, tacos, sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, and various tavern appetizers. I recently visited Oak Beach Bar + Grill while I was meeting up with some work colleagues for an after-work happy hour. We were all seated in the dining room area. I really like the nautical theme and the fact that the location is a short walking distance from the local beaches and the Savin Rock boardwalk. I first started off with a plate of "Stuffed Clams" (bacon, mozzarella, bread stuffing). The staff weren't kidding when they said "stuffed". The stuffing was seasoned well and the clams were very flavorful. I follow them up with the "Fish Tacos" (oven baked Atlantic cod, pico de Gallo, shredded lettuce, avocado crema). The fish was cooked well, but the icing on the cake was the pico and the crema. I washed my delicious food down with cans of Athletic Brewing's "Run Wild" (IPA) and "Upside Dawn" (Golden Lager). If you find yourself by the West Haven shoreline and are craving a delicious lunch or dinner then head to Oak Beach Bar + Grill!

Never missed a beat. Definitely will be back. Just upset I forgot to take photos. Oh and we sat on the enclosed deck overlooking the water which had a nice breeze coming through.

I thought it was the adult size but they confirmed it was for kids. The not so good, the wait for the food was like 45 minutes and it was not even that busy. We got buffalo chicken dip as a starter which came out quick and it was pretty good. It had a nice buffalo flavor and was very heavy on the chicken. Once we finished it, we sat for at least 35 minutes waiting for our entrees. And the entrees were all below average. The blackened chicken sandwich was very bland. The chicken cutlet sandwich was mostly bread and the bread was below average. The mussels were good. The Thai wings were ok.

Husband had a chicken sandwich that he said was like an 8 (he's a fried chicken sandwich guy) and fries. The fries were DELICIOUS! I went a few months back and had the veg poke bowl. It was the special and it was also very, very good. Our waitress last night was fantastic. It was pretty busy but she was extremely attentive and fast, and had one of my favorite qualities in a server: she didn't barge over and interrupt. She made sure we weren't MID SENTENCE TALKING and that we looked up at her before she spoke, which is such an under-appreciated quality in a server. The Landing is a bit spendy, but look at that view! It's clearly a place folks go to celebrate because there were THREE tables side by side that had birthdays. But back to the patio: this place used to be called Knapps Landing and we always called it Gnat's Landing because of the bugs. Well, the gnats haven't gone anywhere, but they've installed big fans along the deck which is a really smart way to curb the bugs, so bring a sweater. You can direct the fans away from you if you don't have a sweater, but heed this important tip! And go on a Wednesday! The live jazz quartet was awesome.
