It's so nice to have any sort of vegan offerings in the area and they have some great basic ones!…read more I ordered the tropical smoothie which was really nice but could have been bigger as I drank it really quickly and normally it takes me a while to finish a drink but I was done with it in less than 2 minutes. We also each got a really nice vegan cupcake and while it was delicious, it was very crumbly and made a mess on both of us. The frosting was fabulous and made up for the crumbles. We just went for a morning treat but we'd be back for some of their other offerings like the falafel wrap for example. Definitely worth a stop in if you're vegan and need a quick, clean bite but also of course many more options for non vegans as well.

All the tables were filled as was the bar with the exception of the table we were given. I lovely high top table. I realized at that moment I was sitting in what was Keri's Cafe Miranda reimagined and felt very sentimental and hoped that our meal would be as wonderful as the many many years of meals I had there. The wine and drinks were perfect. Our food arrived HOT which was a delight as it seems recently most food I have had out has come to the table Luke warm at best. My burger was perfectly cooked, and flavorful, the caramelized onions were nice, the fries were perfectly crisp and my beet salad was delicious as was the goat cheese "dip" yummy. My other diner had the penne Ala Vodka - which is not a dish I hav ever appreciated, but he loved it and was very happy with the portion size! The service was attentive enough for a leisurely dinner. I will definitely recommend 13 Oak to my friends and return. Enjoy...the garden opens in two weeks I think~

Overall I was unimpressed by 13 Oak. Not exactly bad per se but it fell well below my expectations…read morefrom reading other reviews. I do miss Cafe Miranda, the restaurant formerly in this location. After being brought to my table and offered water I was ignored for what seemed like a long time. But after that the service got better. My waiter once he arrived was fine and seemed to know the offerings pretty well. On the starters menu there was a Crudo, described as "local fresh catch. Chef's selection." I asked and it was scallop. Sounded good. It was, but I wasn't crazy about the texture of the raw scallops. (I've had crudo before but never scallop.) But I did like the heat intensity from the hot pepper rings, the sweetness from the mandarin orange slices, the pronounced flavor of roasted garlic, and the oily dressing with two kinds of sesame seeds. Biggest flaw: way too small for the price of $20. I had a cocktail from their small specialties section, "No Cap(irinha)": Cachaca (a Brazilian rum made from sugarcane), blueberry Cheong (a Korean style fruit syrup), and lime. It was refreshing, but very weak on alcohol, served in an inappropriate glass reminiscent of a cafeteria tumbler, and the ice was all wrong (too-small pieces that quickly diluted the already weak drink). Rather than take a chance on another disappointing cocktail my second drink was a glass of wine from the small but ample selection of by the glass. As for the other alcoholic beverages: the beer selection was very small, and the only hard cider was the undrinkable Woodchuck. My entree was also scallops. Described as "local scallops, mushroom, bacon risotto, parmesan." The scallops were tasty, heavily seared on one side and cooked medium on the other. The risotto was very good, without the heaviness of excess cream or cheese found in many risottos, and the rice grains were distinct and al dente, not mushy at all. The bacon may have been good in moderation, but this wasn't moderate. The large smoky bits totally overwhelmed the delicate scallops, making it seem like the bacon was the main event, the scallops merely an afterthought. But my biggest criticism is the portion: the 4 medium-large scallops were in no way adequate, and the price for what I got was insane. My rating is based not just on what I ate but what was on the menu and on other diners' plates. The menu was very small. Yes it is a tiny restaurant (just 9 tables and maybe 6 seats at the semicircular bar), but the former Cafe Miranda in the same location had a huge menu so it must be possible. I'm glad I didn't order the steak. I overheard the waiter tell another diner it was just the steak and a sauce and did they want to order sides (6 sides are offered at $10 apiece). That's ridiculous. An entree should be complete, with creative sides included as decided by the chef. For a steak, maybe some onion rings and grilled broccolini, for example? Add 2 sides at $10 apiece and your steak entree is now costing a whopping $60! And stealing some furtive glances when it arrived at my neighbor's table, it didn't look that special. I could be wrong though. I also saw a burger delivered. A 6 oz patty, with caramelized onion, black garlic mayo, brioche bun, and fries or salad. That's "or", not "and." 6 oz burger for a whopping $26! Um, no. No table bread! Grrr. This annoys me maybe more than it should. Sadly it's getting more common. Want bread? Order it for $6. No thanks. Going with the cafeteria theme (the aforementioned cheap-looking cocktail glasses) the silverware was provided wrapped in a single basic paper napkin, and the table was unadorned with tablecloth. Completely inappropriate for the level of restaurant I think they are striving for. Dessert menu was pretty small too. But I figured I couldn't go wrong with flourless chocolate cake. And there was nothing wrong with it, just unimpressive, the standard presentation of a slab of cake, a few raspberries and mint leaves, and an amorphous blob of whipped cream on top. Yawn. My water glass, after being filled regularly for the first 30 minutes (I was very thirsty), was left empty for the rest of the evening. Until after I had already paid and was about to leave, the water person came by and asked if I wanted water. Rather late, and a strange question. Why ask? Just pour!

I ended up gettin the mussels and scallop entree which paired together so well with the savory grits they come with. We also go the Tuna and Halibut specials and the steak frites which is always delicious. Amazing food as always. And our server Mark was super personable and fun we had a great time. We love coming to Franny's and will be back next year. Thanks for the great food and memories!

Don't let that fool you--this is a destination restaurant in its own right. A special thanks to our server, Nick, whose recommendations were spot on. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helped make an already fantastic meal even better.

**November 2025: Thanksgiving Dinner**…read more I made a reservation through Resy about a week before Thanksgiving and was able to successfully secure bar seating for two. We got a text reminder as well as phone call reminder leading up to our reservation. On the day of our reservation we were greeted with a warm smiled and directed to our seats. Since we visited on Thanksgiving Day it was a prix fix menu which included the following: -Bread and Turkey Jam -Winter Squash Soup -Chicory & Arugula Salad -Roasted Turkey Breast -Braised Short Ribs -Ilma's Maple Bourbon Pie -Pumpkin Budin This menu was specifically made for Thanksgiving so I imagine guests who have to wait until the next Thanksgiving to enjoy the fare. What I can say is that the soup was my favorite and the turkey breast was not in the slightest dry. The short ribs were my friends favorite and we both loved the pumpkin budin. Service was polite and efficient and te music was upbeat and lively, despite the restaurant emiting a dark romantic vibe. I'm really thankful that they had reservations available and that the food was delicious since many restaurants in the area were already booked out. Thank you Wayside Tavern for a delicious meal!
