The ambiance was inviting and very friendly. The food was outstanding! From the appetizers of empanadas with chimichurri, to the lightness of the calamari, to the meat, cooked to perfection and the perfect blending of the pasta and prawns, we had an incredible meal. The service was attentive, yet not overbearing. Always making sure we were happy and felt taken care of. I would recommend the Oakhouse to any and all takers. Auburn has not had such a classy place with excellent food and service in a long time. Let us support this establishment and make sure it thrives in our community. read more

So we took my Mom to Oakhouse to celebrate her birthday. Note while it is a big building, the restaurant itself is quite small so strongly recommend reservations. The vibe of the place is very cool. Entrance and bar had a darker almost speakeasy atmosphere where the main tables in back had a brighter, sunnier look. We sat in the middle, a booth the staff called the "fish bowl" where you can see everything going on. I loved it! Mom probably would go quieter since you are in the action! Note for next time. Okay service - on a scale of 1-10, service was a Spinal Tap 11. Toby made my mom a surprise mocktail creation which I stole a taste - delicious! Carmela took fantastic care of us. I am a food nerd so from the fishbowl, you can clearly see this is an excellently run restaurant. On leaving they not only boxed our leftovers but bagged and organized Mom's separate from ours. It was literally some of the best service I have ever had in a restaurant and I've eaten out a lot all over the world. Okay now for the food. I really like the menu but you want to go here to experience the starters. My wife had the beef carpaccio and I had the tuna poke tostones. Unbelievable. Tostones? Get out! The rest of the starters offer a variety of treats we will need to order in the future. My wife and I had the ribeye, Mom had the steak frites. All the steaks were nicely cooked. The ribeyes came w a foggy dew mushroom espagnole which I enjoyed, my wife less so. It is on the sweet side so let that be your guide. Grilled broccolini perfect. The butternut squash risotto wasn't my favorite but there is a lot going on w the ribeye dish. Mom had fries w her steak frites and they were a perfect crispy. Because it was Mom's birthday they provided us complementary individual cheesecakes - perfect size, wonderfully delicious and they should put that on the dessert menu to share. My problem w dessert (and the menu looked fantastic) is that it looks and sounds daunting after a complete meal. But they know how to dessert. It was a memorable experience of great food, nice ambiance and phenomenal service. read more

So we stopped in Auburn on our trip back to San Francisco and we wanted to have a nice steak dinner. We found this place online so we went well for one. The bartender was very nice, but the woman didn't want to seat us at first. It was me my two kids and my granddaughter, but then we got seated inside and our waiter took forever to do everything on top of that. I can't tell you how many times he mentioned that the steak was $65 $65 $65 and I said yeah OK I just want something with mashed potatoes he said yeah but it's $65 mind you at this point I'm like enough with the $65 just take my order. I was very polite to this man. I told him how I wanted my steak overall I would say this place is overrated. The mashed potatoes had hard pieces in them. They were pretty salty and the steak was runny with blood which that's not what I asked for but we took nothing to go we ended up leaving. We did not like our food. It's definitely not worth. "$65" lol no the point here is if somebody comes into the restaurant to eat they clearly know what they're paying and what they want and I have been to more expensive steakhouses that's not the point the point is the way that we were treated definitely some racism going on prejudice I would say skip this place.. I still left the man his tip we paid for food and we left what a disgusting experience I was there on September 19. It was a Saturday probably about 5:45 PM. I sat in the bar seating area. Our server was a fat white man with a perm. read more

This was our first time trying Oakhouse, and unfortunately, it will be our last. We started with the bone marrow and tartare appetizer. It was good, but not spectacular. It was definitely under-seasoned and needed salt. We asked for some sea salt, which was brought to us, and that helped bring out the flavors. For my entrée, I ordered the crispy pork belly. I was expecting the pork belly to actually be crispy, but it came covered in a very heavy, rich sauce. There was so much sauce that any crispness the pork belly may have had was completely lost. The rice was fine, but the bok choy was severely undercooked and still hard. My husband ordered the ribeye. The steak itself was cooked very well, and we had no complaints about the preparation of the meat. Unfortunately, it was covered in the same heavy sauce and served directly on top of the risotto. The sauce soaked into the risotto and overwhelmed its flavor. The risotto would have been much better served alongside the steak, where it could have stood on its own. His broccolini was also undercooked and hard. The service was okay overall, but certainly not stellar. The most disappointing interaction came when I tried to address the bok choy. As soon as I mentioned it, our server immediately told me that bok choy doesn't have much flavor. I explained that flavor wasn't the issue--the problem was that it was undercooked. I cut into it in front of her to show her just how hard it still was. Her response was essentially, "Well, what do you want me to do about it?" I then had to ask what my options were and whether I could substitute another vegetable. After going through the choices, I selected asparagus. She did bring it out, and it was hot and properly cooked, which I appreciated. My disappointment wasn't that the vegetable wasn't ultimately replaced; it was the dismissive attitude when I brought up a legitimate issue with the food. A simple acknowledgment and an offer to replace it would have gone a long way. Overall, there were some good elements--the appetizer was decent and the ribeye itself was cooked very well--but both entrées were overwhelmed by the same heavy sauce, both had undercooked vegetables, and the service did little to improve the experience. For the price and our expectations going in, the meal was disappointing. This was our first visit to Oakhouse, and based on the food and the way our concerns were handled, we won't be returning. read more

Went to oakhouse for some app's and casual drinks. Ambience was amazing. Service phenomenal. Our server Shannon did an amazing job at hosting and helping us choose our food items. Great service from him. Chicken is big portion and overall good. Bone marrow was decently good Mac n cheese fire Was not a fan of balsamic with the cheesecake Did not like the spicy cheese that came with butter Will definitely be back to try their steaks Drinks and beer selection is great as well. Very cute date night spot Thanks again to our serve Shannon! read more

The ambiance is really nice and the drinks were popping. We had 4 in our party 2 ordered the Steak Frites, filet and risotto, and half chicken. The half chicken was great and my Steak Frites was average at best. The desserts were great. I was disappointed in the service..our server didn't have steak knives for three folks who needed them, we had to reorder wine because it was forgotten, some folks got appetizer plates while others didn't. The service was meddling which was the reason for 3 stars instead of 4 read more

This was our second time at Oakhouse and somehow it was even better than the first! From the moment we walked in, everything was great. The host was welcoming, the bartender made fantastic cocktails, and the food and service were exceptional. A big shoutout to our server, Shannon. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions and gave us great recommendations. He really knows his stuff and made the whole experience that much better. We love the atmosphere and vibe at Oakhouse. Such a great night from start to finish. We can't wait to go back! read more

We started with the Empanadas -- ribeye and Manchego in flaky puff pastry with chimichurri -- and the Roasted Mission Figs with goat cheese and prosciutto di Parma. Both were standouts, that fig and sherry vinaigrette combination especially. For mains we had the 8oz Flat Iron Steak with chimichurri and fingerling potatoes, the Crispy Pork Belly with its nectarine-ginger shoyu glaze, the Elk Chops with mission fig jus, and the Catch of the Day. Everything came out beautifully composed and full of flavor -- the pork belly glaze in particular was something I'm still thinking about. The cocktail program is worth the trip on its own. Summertime in Bloom (gin, strawberry, basil oil), Peaches & Proof, the Old Fashioned, and the Grapefruit No.4 with yellow Chartreuse and Campari -- all balanced and thoughtfully built, not just sweet. And a special shout-out to our server, Shannon. He was personable, funny, genuinely fun to talk with, and incredibly attentive all night. He made the meal feel like more than just dinner. If you go, ask for his section. Highly recommend!! read more

Simply put excellent. Menu was very good. Had many dishes to choose from. I had the skirt steak with potatoes and carrots. A side order of broccolini and asparagus. They were perfectly cooked. Hubby had rib eye steak with risotto and peas. Delicious!!! Joe had a gin martini to top off his meal. If you desire an evening out that's fancy for the Auburn hood, this is the place. It's a lovely property with a lounge with outdoor dining and the separate dining area with a bar. Go! read more

I see a lot of potential here. The space is warm and inviting, and we preferred sitting at the bar or bar tables. The bone marrow was excellent, and the bread it came with was standout. The food overall was strong, drinks were well made, and the wine list was solid. There's also a fun lounge downstairs with a great outdoor vibe, perfect for a late-night cocktail, though I wish it stayed open later. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. read more

4 stars in service, atmosphere, and cocktails. The food however was more of a 3 star experience. First and foremost, it's not a steakhouse. My 14oz ribeye was thin cut and honestly reminded me of the steak I would get from a diner when ordering steak and eggs. I ordered it medium rare and due to it being so thin it came out over medium. I got the mushroom sauce on the side and was very grateful I did. That would have been the only thing I tasted due to how the dish was plated. English pea risotto on the bottom, crunchy broccolini on top of the risotto and the 14oz steak on top of all of it. Overall a disappointing dish. The "ribeye" empanada was fantastic, perfect buttery flaky pastry but the filling was ground meat. Maybe it was ground ribeye but who knows. My wife's "smoked" half chicken was really good, didn't get any smoke, but it was well seasoned and juicy. The crème brûlée was text book perfect. In summary, come for the atmosphere, great cocktails and dessert. read more

Service was good, food was pretty good, wine selection was very limited and not great, whiskey was damn expensive. I think the thing that got me is I wanted to start with appetizers while I looked at the menu for dinner but was told "Chef likes it all in at once", F@€k what chef wants! I was hungry and didn't want to rush my dinner selection. I had been looking forward to the bone marrow but it was bland, empanadas were great, steak was decent. read more

Our date night here was great!!! Waited at the bar for our table to be ready. Super cute warm ambiance. Mike the bartender was great super outgoing, as well as the gal with him. Our server Gwen was so friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and everything paired well together. I ordered the beef cheek with a creamy polenta and my husband got the NY strip steak. Nothing left behind!! Ian the manager I believe, stopped by multiple times to check on us to make sure we were taken care of! We can't wait to come back and also check out the lounge are which I believe is downstairs? This place is definitely worth a visit! read more

Oakhouse - Main course. Beef cheek with polenta and NY strip - Wine Bars Near Me - Auburn, California

Our new favorite restaurant in Auburn. We celebrated our anniversary here and from the moment we walked in, the service set the tone: warm, attentive, and never intrusive. Our waiter Shannon had that rare gift of knowing exactly when to check in and when to leave us alone. He made the whole night so special. The food matched the service. Everything was fresh, beautifully plated, and genuinely delicious. The menu has a nice range, from approachable dishes to more elevated options, and the prices felt fair across the board. The ambiance was also wonderful. Thoughtful details, and great lighting (rarer than it should be). We will definitely be back! read more

First time eating at Oakhouse. This location has turned over a few times for whatever reasons. I personally thought it was a funky space for a restaurant. A lot of ground to cover, with all the levels and Upstairs/downstairs. Makes it hard for staff! But this owner made it into two spaces. Downstairs more causal and upstairs more fine dining. Reminds me of the stone house in grass valley. Same concept. The decor facelift from previous restaurant makes it feel less weird. Very nice colors etc. brings it all together. The bar is cute but would need more appetizer food options and cheaper for me to want to sit there! The waiter was very nice and did his job well. We did however have to wait quite a long time for our food which seems to be the theme in the reviews. Drinks also took a minute, but again It's a big space so lots of orders coming through--Inside and outside. And understaffed. Now for the food: We were a group of 7, which this place can accommodate. But for a hefty price. For 7, you will pay under $600-$700 easily. Unfortunately, this price tag will possibly sink the ship. We did not order any of the steaks as the reviews weren't great there. But what we did order was not at all price comparable. One of dishes was a fried cheese (size of a iPhone 13) with 5 asparagus. $36!!! And that was it! See photo. The asparagus, egg and mushroom appetizer had more going on. But unfortunately the flavors were not working together. It was like having separate items on one plate. I had the lamb salad. Not what I expected. The lamb was like smoked shredded meat. A little tough and the salad dressing was too spicy for a salad! It took away all the flavors. Now, if you were to put this dish into a few corn tortillas, and call it a lamb tacos, it would have worked way better! But not for the price tag. I didn't get a picture of it but the elk was beautifully done. The best meal on the table with a wine/berry sauce. Overall price point is too high. Quality is middle. So you don't want to pay the high price. Sorry Oakhouse! read more

Oakhouse - Amazing cheesecake - Wine Bars Near Me - Auburn, California

We went to the Oakhouse for the first time with a party of 8. We went downstairs, which is a really cool bar, to enjoy a cocktail before dinner and then upstairs to the restaurant where we were seated at a really nice table in the front. We were off to a good start. Our waitress came and told us the specials and updated drink orders while we looked the menu over. Pricing gets your attention right away. It's pretty pricey. They charge $3 dollars for bread service, which literally is a piece of bread about 4 inches long cut into tiny slices. We need several of those and then proceeded to order a variety of food. The service was inconsistent. Our server didn't check on us very often but the server taken care of water refills was doing a good job. When our food came, I think we all felt that flavor-wise it was pretty good. My husband ordered one of the specials, which was a Mandarin chicken with ginger rice. When the server took our order and he said that he'd have the chicken, she did not confirm whether it was the special or what was apparently their regular roast chicken so she brought in the regular chicken. When we brought this to her attention, she said "oh well note for next time". For the cost of the meal we were having that really should've been handled with a simple. "I'm so sorry I misunderstood. Let me go and get the rice for you," but she didn't do that. Very disappointing. One of the people in our party had a steak that she barely ate any of it. She didn't like the sauces that were with it. I had the rabbit with noodles, which was tasty. All in our group which of the experience about 80 out of 100. While we enjoyed an evening out with friends most of us said that was a one and done because we won't be going back. read more

Ambiance was nice. Higher end classy restaurant but many patrons didn't get the message with flip flops, baseball hats, & jean shorts (really??) Tacky people are not the restaurants fault. The pork belly with rice was very good but the bok chop didn't add any flavor; the mediocre Caesar salad isn't worth the price and expected better than average grocery store croutons and parm cheese. The bread pudding had too many very sweet raisins that overtook the flavor. The waiter was very nice and pleasant and tried hard. Appreciated it! read more

We just had an amazing dining experience at the Oakhouse restaurant in Auburn. The place was pretty busy for a weekday dinner and we really enjoyed the lively atmosphere. The service was simply implacable. We were so excited to try the food that we went a little overboard with the food order. Between the two of us, we ordered the bread service and the Caesar salad - both were fresh and delicious; then we split an order of the bone marrow and it was exceptional. Our main coarse consisted of the dry aged ribeye and a side dish of mashed potatoes- very well prepared. We even had a popover for the dessert and it was very tasty. Overall, I would rate our experience as ten out of ten. read more

Our server Carmela was awesome! She went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner extra special! We came to Oakhouse earlier this year and were blown away by the food. We made a reservation for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago and the entire menu was updated last Wednesday and everything we previously had was no longer available. The old menu and food were a lot better and it seems like the prices are higher now. read more

We had no reservations for Valentine's Day and the manager Sam got us in when the doors opened with 2 reserved spots at the bar. She is absolutely amazing. Now, about the food and service. The food is always out of this world fantastic and same with the service. Toby, our bar tender/ server is the best. He's entertaining and makes you feel like family when sitting at the bar. Overall, Oakhouse is definitely the best restaurant we've been to in Auburn and o e if the best we've ever been to. Thank you Oakhouse for always giving us a great experience. read more

We were the first arrivals on Valentine's Day. When asked if I had a reservation, I responded that we did not, but that I had called 9 days earlier and spoke with a woman who told me that all of the dining room tables had been reserved as it was going to be a holiday. She said that the bar seating would be available with the exception of 2 seats which were reserved for a regular who dines there often. I had asked at the time of the phone call if I should plan to arrive early in order to be able to get a seat at the bar. She assured me that they do not have a waiting line when the doors open, so getting that seat should not be a problem and I wouldn't have to plan to arrive early. We did arrive early and were the first diners there at 4:45pm. The hostess asked me to wait while she got the manager. I was left wondering if there was seating available. The manager listened to me and graciously offered us a choice of a bar table. This was our first visit here. The decor and design fits the restaurant well. The front door created a very annoying noise issue, though. Whenever a diner or the staff would open the door it would practically slam shut and make a loud noise which was very distracting. Our server, Carmella, was helpful, prompt and friendly. She was the best part of the experience. All of the food was under seasoned with the exception of the oyster (not a surprise since it's an oyster). The food just lacked flavor. There were no salt & pepper shakers on the table which I have no problem with as long as the food is seasoned properly. I rarely if ever add extra salt at the table. It's too late at that point and the food only tastes salty rather than flavorful. We were never offered freshly cracked pepper. The beef tartare was some of the plainest beef tartare we have had. It was also an extra up-charge from the prix fixe menu. My scallops were seared well, but again they were very under seasoned. Hubby's duck breast was also under seasoned, and the fat from the skin wasn't rendered down as it absolutely should have been. The timing of the meal was also slow. It seems the kitchen must have been off on their timing. The food runners also had to ask us who had what so they could present us with our respective dishes. That's a serving 101 error for a fine restaurant. After our entrees we waited a considerable amount of time before my soufflé was delivered. We had watched earlier as another soufflé was presented to a diner and it was still puffed up as a soufflé should be. When mine arrived, it was completely deflated as you can see in the photo. It also wasn't fully cooked. Hubby's never arrived. The manager came to our table and apologized for the delayed food and said that the chef had been too ambitious. For a dinner with a bill over $350 with a drink and bottle of wine that we ordered, this experience was a huge disappointment. We really had hoped for more. We won't be returning. read more

This is the 2nd time we've been to this restaurant! First time was a great experience sitting at the bar. Last night, we were greeted by the hostess at 4:51pm and she basically told us to go downstairs that they are not opened yet. Our called-in reservation for 4 people was for 5pm. When we returned to the hostess, she basically said we have to be out of there by 7pm to accommodate a party of 13. We even felt the staff was rushing us! We are foodies and frequent our favorite restaurants weekly. I guess we don't need to return to Oakhouse! I hope it was worth the party of 13! read more

Wow, huge shout out to all of these employees for braving this weather to serve us! We had never been in and tonight was the terrible storm. Still, there was not a single employee who did not greet us with a smile and excellent service! Our server was Lacey. (I hope I spelled that right) and she curated such a lovely evening for us, she was AMAZING! We both had the ribeye and it was hands down the best in the area the Bourguignon and the red chimichurri paired so well with the steak but it honestly didn't need it, it was just a nice addition! I understand why it's busy! Thank you! read more

The Oak House is one of those rare places that gets everything right--food, atmosphere, and thoughtful execution. Every dish we tried felt intentional and beautifully balanced. The elk loin was a standout: perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and rich without being heavy. It's not something you see on every menu, and The Oak House does it exceptionally well. The beef cheek bourguignon was pure comfort--deep, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth. Mary's chicken was anything but ordinary--juicy, flavorful, and cooked with real care. Even the sides impressed, especially the leeks, which were prepared simply but elevated, letting their natural sweetness shine. From start to finish, the meal felt thoughtful and refined without being pretentious. The Oak House is the kind of restaurant you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates elevated, seasonal cooking done right. The service was also very good. The poor waitress had to put up with cheeky Brit's and she did it very well. read more

We went to Oak house for the 3rd time this evening. We sat at the bar for dinner as there were no reservations available. The menu is very limited! The first time we dined there they offered fried chicken which was amazing but dropped it from the menu?? My husband ordered the ribeye charred and medium rare on the inside. It came out blue! Cold and raw. They took it back and re fired the same piece of meat which never works. The sides were amazing we had the beets, carrots and Mac and cheese. The service at the bar was also excellent. Our bartender was Mike and he was attentive and very friendly. They need to add more entree options like chicken beast, prawns or bring back the fried chicken! Sam the general manager is amazing. They would be lost without her. We live down the street so would love for this place to be better! read more

We have been to Oakhouse 2 times before and it was exceptional. The service and the food was great. i made a reservation for 5 for one of our good friends birthday. We were so excited to share this gem of a place with them. We were seated at a large table in the bar area. It seemed that there were at least 3 or 4 servers attending to the dining room to our right yet we barely got any attention. Took forever to get our drinks and the food was mediocre. So disappointing and for a special occasion even more so. read more

From the cocktails in the bar downstairs, to the staff, to the ambiance to the food just. 10/10 all around. This honestly is one of the best meals I've had in the Sacramento area in quite some time. The menu prices are well worth the dining experience - the food was absolutely and the presentation exquisite. The frisée salad with fresh goat cheese and local mandarins was absolutely delicious and the halibut served over a cake of rice with puréed celery root was magnificent. Others at our table said the grilled elk and seafood was superb. A place to celebrate! read more

Had a reservation for our 15yr anniversary was very excited to experience. Unfortunately our experience was not great. We were seated in the corner of joining windows during the brightest part of the day for that spot. We were told during the middle of our meal that the air conditioner had gone out 1 hour prior to our reservation. The restaurant was only about 20% occupancy and they could have sat us else where knowing they had no air conditioner in that area of the dining room. It was so hot that sweat marks had made it onto clothing when we left. As For the food, Cesar salad was eh. Bread eh, but the butter was good. We both ordered steak meals. They made a mistake and mixed up our cooking preferences. So we ended up with a filet over done and a flank that was way undercooked. They offered to cook the flank more but it was too late considering we were burning up and trying to move things along. Also the flank was not the typical flank style I was expecting, it was thick and rounded. The side veggies were just ok. The risotto was amazing that we had the filet with. They did come back and offer us dessert on the house after they discovered their temperatures were off. We preferred it to go as we were so hot. We ordered a cheesecake and it was just ok. The cocktails were the best part! Very good! Overall we won't be returning. The price does not match the quality and the experience left us disappointed. We were just very grateful to have a night out together. read more

Beautiful ambiance! Delightfully friendly hostess + attentive and caring server. Unique menu items including bone marrow, elk and beef cheek. I recommend you park in the back of the restaurant. The side lot is quite steep. The entrance needs signage; we and others were confused where to enter. Pricey, but expected. Flavors could be enhanced--or at least provide salt and pepper on the tables. Our server brought extra sauce without us even asking. Awesome job! She must of known. This helped. This place makes the drive to Auburn special. read more

PERFECTION in Auburn! I have not had this kind of dining experience in a very long time. Service was fantastic and we were seated immediately with a reservation. Cocktails to start were on point and generous. We had the shishitos and salmon starters as well as all of the seasonal salads and I could not choose a favorite although I was thoroughly impressed with how finely the brussels were shaved. I had the herb crusted elk loin-chefs kiss, wouldn't change a thing. Left it up to Chef Chris to choose how it was prepared and which sauce and he knocked it out of the park. The halibut, ribeye and special beef wellington were also ordered at our table and there were zero complaints from anyone. All cooked to perfection with amazing flavor profiles, paired perfectly with your choice of sauce. We ordered every side (except Mac & Cheese) since we could not choose just one, again-well seasoned, tasty and veggies done right. Made room for one dessert for the table because how can you pass up s'mores crème brûlée? Again-outstanding in every way. Love this openness and flow of the restaurant , there is an upscale yet casual vibe going on-servers were attentive without putting pressure on, portions were generous and food was served in a very reasonable amount of time. Cannot wait to come back here and sit at the bar and try the steak tartare. Wish I had taken more photos but too busy eating! Save your money and give this place a try! read more

Went a couple of weeks before Christmas with my son and our daughter-in-law. They're from Manhattan and used to fairly high prices. So, they weren't put off by the oak house prices. Then again, this is Auburn not Manhattan. The food was good. However, one entrée (my wife's) was not delivered. Once that was sorted, we ended up with a credit on the dessert. However, this shouldn't have happened. Maybe, they were just still in the learning phase. As to prices, they're pretty high. I like to have a martini when I go out for dinner and even in Manhattan I'm not charged for the olives and at 80 years of age I've had plenty of martinis and have never, until going to the Oakhouse, been charged for olives and no, they weren't stuffed. They were just olives. Probably will not go here again. read more

My husband and I went to the Oak House for the first time Friday night. WOW what a lovely, lively place. The service was excellent and so was the food! We had the ribeye steak and the halibut which were delicious. Don't miss out on the side dishes, the roasted carrots were amazing sweet with blue cheese sprinkled on top, and the creamed spinach was the best I've ever had, The portions are large so next time we will share. It was a lovely evening never felt rushed. We will be back. read more
