Nice casual restaurant,good service, fair pricing and good food. It's nice to sit outside and enjoy the intracoastal.

I've enjoyed several visits to Oak and Palm over the past 6 months. Tonight our table had Cajun Chicken Alfredo, Carolina Crab Cake, and house salad. My friend ordered the Cajun Chicken Alfredo was moist and delicious with the right amount of spice (not overly so). The portion was generous. I ordered the Crab cake and house salad as a meal. It was very good, although I felt the portion of aioli was too large relative to the size of the crab cake.. The house salad was good but had more carrots and cucumbers than lettuce. That was OK with me but others might not appreciate it. Service was good. The hostess was very friendly and personable and I wish I'd gotten her name. The waiter knew the menu and provided solid answers when asked questions about menu items. It was a perfect evening for dining on the patio and if that strikes your fancy, be sure to make a reservation during the summer months. It's definitely prime real estate during the busy season. read more

We had the coconut shrimp and hush puppies for appetizers. Then I had salmon, which came with rice and asparagus. My husband had scallops with risotto. Everything we had was perfectly seasoned. It was delicious. We sat outside and had a nice view of the inlet, but the inside of Oak and Palm looked nice, too. Our server, TJ, was friendly and professional- great service. We plan on going back! read more

Inventive menu lacked execution. Service was good and we accommodated with a reservation when they were full. That was very nice. read more

Food was excellent, fried seafood platter, small Caesar salad enough for two and a clam chowder you'd find in New England. Our waitress was attentive and we enjoyed their outdoor seating. read more

Sunset Beach needed this restaurant - and it was worth the wait! Although it was the "off-season" and they got off to a late start to opening day - I think this is a GREAT way for them to ease into the business before the busy season! The decor is beautiful as are the views. There are two bars: one upstairs facing away from the water and the main level facing the bridge. It is an absolute amazing view - whether you're dining at the bar, main floor, outside patio, or upstairs on the second deck. Since I was by myself, I started with the hush puppies. The old twin Lakes was known for these and they did not disappoint. I don't know if it's the same recipe but the cinnamon butter was absolutely amazing. Definitely enough hush puppies for the table. My dirty martinis were made perfectly by the bartender who was very attentive. I ordered the Pork Belly Scallops, and it was an amazing combination. The corn purée and the hash was not something I would've chosen as a side... But it definitely complimented the dish. This is a great restaurant and is wonderful for a date night or special night out. The owner/manager made her way around to each table, which I thought was a nice touch. I don't know that this would be the best place for kids, but they did have a kid selection. I hope nothing more than to see them succeed. We will be back the day after Thanksgiving- reservations made! read more

Arrived close to closing. Friendly service from the front door to the table. Food & cocktail were great. I ordered the seared sea scallops but switched the sweet corn risotto for the parmsean risotto. I didn't want a sweet meal. But with the extra salt in the potato hash, I understood why the sweet corn risotto. Biscuit was amazing. Nice, light color palette. Thought it was small until I learned there was a second floor. There is nice patio seating the looks out to the waterway & Bridge. Would definitely go again. read more

Went there three times in three weeks in March. Food was consistently good, service was attentive. They had wine by the bottle specials on one of the nights we were there and a coconut layer cake to die for. read more

Best calamari in town. Enjoyed lunch on the patio. Great service. I highly recommend trying it out

The food was amazing - I recommend the seared scallops! Nice ambiance, friendly and fast service.

My husband and I went out to celebrate his 70th birthday. I really, really wanted to like this restaurant. The view was beautiful, the wait staff was very good. My dinner arrived and the scallops were cooked to perfection, but the risotto beneath the scallops was cold, not even warm, ice cold! There was no garnish on the plate and it looked very bland. My husband had the pork chops, which tasted good, but were severely over salted. Also, there was no garnish on his plate. For the price we paid, I would think the chef would have a little more finesse? Also, during our meal, a woman came up to our table and asked how our meal was and had we ever been there before. I'm assuming she was the manager/owner, but who knows?? She did not introduce herself!! I appreciate checking on your patrons, but at least let them know who you are first! read more

Calamari was really well-prepared. That's all we had time for, but I would like to try dinner.

We went in February. The food was good but not great. Still, it was the off season so they probably weren't giving us their A game. We'll be back in May and will give it a second chance. The place has potential. read more

Service was outstanding from hostess to server. TJ took very good care of us and helped us with making selections. Food and wine were delicious! We will come back to sit outside to enjoy a sunset!! read more

The food was divine and views amazing. Our server worked hard to take care of our large group.

as this building in Sunset Beach has been through several restaurants I must say this one is a keeper! Incredible service food was delicious. We will definitely be going back again. read more

Excellent food and drink choices. Waitress was very attentive to our needs and wonderful location on the water.

The folks at Oak and Palm made our night so special for a birthday celebration! They had little additions such as a candle and birthday decorations for the table. The service was excellent and the food was awesome! read more

Food was delicious, service was great, on the pricier end but great area and you can sit outside.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Oak and Palm, and I'm still raving about the experience. The views of the intercoastal waterway were simply stunning, with boats coming and going as the sunset. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel like we were being treated exceptionally well. The food was fabulous, with highlights including the oysters, chef's specialty, and my husband's steak. The wine was delicious, and the complementary hush puppies with cinnamon and honey butter were a delightful surprise. What truly sets Oak and Palm apart is its convenient location right outside of our neighborhood. The price was fantastic, especially considering the high quality of the food and service. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining areas, with multiple bars and plenty of seating with great views of the water. We're already looking forward to going back and becoming regulars. Highly recommend Oak and Palm to anyone looking for a great dining experience with a beautiful view. read more

Service at Oak & Palm was very good--attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the same standard. I ordered the sea bass, which was overpowered by salt and lacked balance. Overall, a decent experience thanks to the service, but the food was just average. read more

A beautiful location and friendly and professional staff. We popped in for a quick lunch and ordered the coconut shrimp, clam chowder and salad. The service was fantastic and food delicious. read more

I really enjoyed the lunch size portions. And the views were amazing. The white staff was great and I enjoyed the options

The food was excellent and the service was on point. Was busy but noise level wasn't extreme and appreciated the fact that a conversation could be held without having to raise our voices to hear one another. read more

High hopes dashed....big swing and a miss on food & bar. $20 Burger? Second time coming here.. both times food was sent back to kitchen. Cocktails were not made correctly... fantastic location that's the only good thing.. read more

We had a lunch event planned with 60 ladies. Dan and Daniel, as well as all the servers, were wonderful to work with. The food portions were generous and delicious. We had a room that overlooked the water which gave it a great ambiance. read more

I so want to love oak and palm- but food quality is still inconsistent. We arrived last night at 8 pm. After hearing about how Italian chefs have been brought in to train the chefs here we were excited to try the special spinach linguini with oysters. It was served to us - the pasta was lukewarm like it had been cooked an hour ago and the blanched in hot water- the oysters were hard and tasteless , no evident sauce on the pasta and the toast points were blackened. I'm just shocked that a chef would send out a plate looking like that!!! I took one bite and sent it back. Please- train your chefs that quality matters. We are a town full of transplants from the north ( and south) so we know good food. Don't treat us as fools or your doors will not be open much longer. I will go again for dinner, because I want to support, but you need to get better!! read more

7 friends had a birthday dinner last night at Oak and Palm. Our server Derek was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was fantastic. We had ribeye, Korean short rib, Sunset style Blackened grouper, Miso sea bass. Everyone loved it. Specialty cocktails were on point with a large selection. We had a great experience and will definitely be back. Add this one to the list you won't be disappointed! read more

My wife and I went to Sunset Beach's newest restaurant last night and we were blown away! Arguably the best restaurant in the area and that's saying something as we have several restaurants nearby that we love. Oak and Palm is a real gem "under the bridge". We started with the coconut shrimp at the suggestion of our server, Kim, who was suburb. My wife ordered the Ramen and I got the ribeye. Both dishes were outstanding! The restaurant was bustling but it appeared everyone was being taken care of well. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! Outstanding. read more

The food was excellent! The service was great! And the ambiance was so enjoyabl! Love this restaurant.

Sat at bar for dinner which we like to do, Ciera and Logan provided excellent service and conversation! Wine choices were great I am fussy about my SB! Coconut Shrimp was delicious I had Korean Short Rib entree fall off the bone juicy could have been more veggies, my husband had Chicken Fettuccini I think he might have licked the plate (kidding) but the best Coconut Layer Cake I have ever eaten, sometimes cake is dry...not here..portion was huge enough for 2! We will go back! read more

We had dinner here and It was exquisite! The service was the best, they work as a team. Our waitress had a table of 20 and we initially were concerned but she was amazing along with her team. The food was outstanding and everyone looked very happy dining here. read more

The food was excellent, the service by Hayley superb, and they went over the top in celebrating my husband's birthday, which they only knew of from Open Table: birthday wishes from the hostess, server, general manager, and a comped birthday dessert. Five stars all the way! read more

Service and food was amazing. Alcohol selection was lacking. Ambiance was nothing special.

I heard good things about this newly opened restaurant from some friends in our community. So my husband & I went there for an early Sunday dinner last Sunday, 11/16. We were pleasantly surprised with the newly redecorated interior... very stylish & welcoming! Frank, our server, was very courier & attentive. We each ordered a small plate as our entree: mine was Coconut shrimp with palm slaw & his was Korean ribs with pickled veggies. Each was delicious & the portions were great. I also got an order of Parmesan Risotto. The large windows overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway gave us a beautiful view of boaters passing by. We'll definitely be returning here to dine! read more

It's so nice to have a quality restaurant so close to home! read more
