I had the stone fruit drink and it was so good. We had chicken fried lobster and rock island calamari and shrimp. It was all perfection. There was a waygu special that I had to try. We had mushrooms, au gratin potatoes, and corn crème brûlée as our sides. We have already looked up copy cat recipes for the corn crème brûlée. I need to have this over and over again. For dessert the table split the red velvet bread pudding (we were stuffed) and I immediately started searching for copy cat recipes for that. It was decadent. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was elegant and dark and romantic inside. This place is a must if you are looking for fine dining in Charlotte.

I love looking at the meat counter and all the prepared meals/food they have available. We started off with the burnt ends which were pretty good, only complaint was the brisket was a little dry, must not have used the fattier cut. But overall a good dish. I got the steak flight which was excellent and a great deal for what you get. It's three different cuts of meat prepared 3 different ways, for only 23 or 24 dollars. One cut was filet, one was teres major, but I cannot remember the other cut. All had excellent toppings and were cooked to a great medium rare. Wife got the burger which was on sale this day of the week for $7! It was excellent, you can't find a better burger in charlotte at that price. The atmosphere is always very personal and cozy, it is a bar with table seating but just be aware it's not your typical dining room.

After a long, hard day of work, there's something special about sitting down, taking a deep breath, and enjoying a good meal. A perfectly cooked steak. Fresh bread. A glass of wine. And a moment to slow down and appreciate how far you've come. Life moves fast. Responsibilities never stop. Challenges keep coming. But every now and then, it's important to pause and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Not because you've reached the finish line. But because you've earned a moment of gratitude along the journey. Good food. Good atmosphere. Good conversation. And a reminder that hard work deserves appreciation too. Life's not perfect, but it's good. Peace.

If you are looking for recommendations, I highly suggest trying: The Meatballs: A fantastic twist on a classic, served in a delicious lemon dill sauce instead of a typical marinara.

Two of my personal standouts are the Beetle Juice, which incorporates fresh beet juice, and The Fishbone, which brilliantly highlights their house-made aquavit.

I sincerely appreciate your willingness to try to make things right. Unfortunately, the overall experience was a complete miss. The level of service was not only below expectations--it was fundamentally lacking. Despite numerous issues throughout the evening, there was never a proactive manager check-in or meaningful attempt to address our concerns. To my understanding, Ken was the manager on duty, yet he was noticeably absent during a time when leadership was desperately needed. What was intended to be a joyful 40th birthday celebration became an unnecessarily prolonged evening spent waiting for nearly every aspect of our dining experience, all while receiving little to no communication. Delays can happen, but a lack of communication and accountability is far more difficult to overlook. One of our guests even had a drink spilled on them, and shockingly, there was no apology or acknowledgment from the staff. While some members of the bar team appeared to make an effort to assist, those attempts were inconsistent and overshadowed by what appeared to be internal confusion and a lack of coordination among the staff. From our perspective, the restaurant has significant issues with morale, communication, execution, and overall service delivery. At its core, the hospitality industry is built on service, and that was the very element missing throughout our visit. Oak Steakhouse markets itself as an elevated dining experience, and we arrived expecting that standard. Unfortunately, our experience reflected the opposite. It is difficult to reconcile the expectation of premium hospitality with service that consistently fell short, particularly when an automatic gratuity is applied regardless of the quality of the experience. Gratuity should complement exceptional service--not compensate for service that was never delivered. I rarely write feedback of this nature, but this experience warrants serious attention. Without meaningful improvements in leadership, communication, and guest service, I would be genuinely concerned about the long-term reputation and sustainability of the restaurant. This was an incredibly important evening for us, and it's disappointing that the service became the lasting memory instead of the celebration itself. I hope this feedback is received in the spirit in which it is intended: as an honest account of an experience that fell well below the standard Oak Steakhouse should represent.

We had a reservation for a Monday dinner on my husband's birthday, which happened to also be 1/2 priced wine day (glasses or bottles up to $40). Maybe it was because of the affordable wine or the World Cup on TV, but the place was surprisingly bumpin'. We came with our toddler, and the staff were super friendly with her. She really enjoyed snacking on the complimentary crackers and cheese spread. My husband and I decided to share the dinner special for 2, which is a 10 oz filet mignon, 2 lobster tails, and 4 sides for $178. A delicious splurge! For our sides, we chose a Caesar salad, cheesy fried potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, and balsamic brussels sprouts. The steak was so tender and savory. Absolutely loved it. Definitely one of the best steaks I've had in the city! After our meal, our server brought a complimentary dessert, a layered mousse cake, served in a martini cake with a candle to celebrate my husband's birthday. Such a nice surprise, and the perfect end to a special family meal. Here's to 70+ more years of BnB in CLT!

Unfortunately, this Restaurant Week visit was nothing like the Eddie V's I remembered. I dined solo at the bar and actually had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu. I chose the upgraded lobster bisque (+$5) and Chilean sea bass (+$10), looking forward to treating myself. I rarely splurge on a nice dinner, so this was something I had been excited about all day. The food was mixed. The lobster bisque was flavorful, although the amount of lobster was surprisingly small. The mashed potatoes were outstanding, and the asparagus was very good. The Chilean sea bass was cooked well but lacked seasoning and wasn't the memorable entrée I expected. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. The restaurant was less than half full during my visit, so the extended delays were especially surprising. I waited an unusually long time for my entrée while guests who arrived after me were served first. Another surprise was that the only restroom I was directed to required going down to the basement, which was difficult with my mobility issues (I need my knee replaced). I would encourage the restaurant to make it clearer whether there is an accessible restroom available on the main floor, as this could be challenging for many guests. After another long wait for dessert, I asked to have my crème brûlée boxed because the delays meant I would now be walking back to my hotel after dark. I explained that I had intentionally walked there for exercise and had planned to walk back before dark. The response I received was simply, "Just call an Uber." That completely missed the point. I wasn't asking for transportation--I was explaining how the delays had changed my evening. To add to the confusion, I was given two desserts instead of the one I requested. While I appreciate the gesture if it was intended that way, it reinforced the feeling that no one was really listening. What disappointed me most wasn't simply the wait. It was the complete lack of service recovery. No sincere apology, no acknowledgment of how long I'd waited, and no effort to make the experience feel special. I've always thought of Eddie V's as one of Charlotte's premier dining experiences. That's exactly why this visit was so disappointing. I sincerely hope this was an isolated experience because I'd like to remember Eddie V's for the exceptional restaurant it has been in the past.
