We have been to the Oak three times, and I have nothing but positives to report. First of all, the setting and ambience are truly stellar. The beautiful restaurant is situated amongst trees and horse paddocks, and the floor to ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of sunset and hills and horses. Very romantic and relaxing. The food is classic American high-end cuisine, including: steaks, salmon, chicken, pork chops, etc. Sides are very well executed pastas, potatoes, that sort of thing. They have a full bar, and a good wine list. Last time (Valentine's Day) I indulged in a couple of champagne cocktails, which they made without a quibble, and which were very good. Service is excellent, 10/10, highly recommend. They offer gift cards, which is how we went the first time, it was a wedding gift. Perfect for date nights, family celebrations, or to take out of town guests you want to impress. read more

Great food and staff. The interior was very nice and clean. $$$$ for 2. My wife had the prim rib and was cooked perfectly. I had the New York strip and was cooked perfectly also. Get Long Island ice tea. read more

Called for a reservation for our 15th anniversary. They were busy. I'm sure they're good. They were busy and I forgot to ask if they took walk ins or if they only took reservations. When I called the second time the lady answering the phone was really rude. We went somewhere else. read more

First time there and it was great. The food was wonderful and the views were as well. We will definitely be going back. The pricing was good, not to expensive, but there is a little bit of a wait for the main course to arrive, but appetizers came quickly. Our server was spectacular, she keep us up in tea and would always come by and let us know where we were on our food time. read more

Absolutely everything was fantastic. Great food and great people. All around ridiculously good.

I had no idea this place existed until a few months ago. Between the online reviews and the people we've asked about the place...we had to give it a shot. So glad we did. We had some great conversations with the family that now owns it. This place had been shut down for a few years and renovated and reopened in 2017. We came here in January on a Friday night. It wasn't crowded so we took our time ordering and enjoyed the music. This particular musician wasn't overpowering and played many popular hits. The food was fabulous. Our waiter Alex (owners son) was funny and informative. The ambience was fantastic too. You can see the oak tree from every table in the place. Supposedly the menu is ever changing. We had the cornmeal green tomatoes, baked Brie, filet, a waiter recommended French toast dipped pork chop, Caesar salad with actual real anchovies, and ended the meal with a bananas foster bread pudding. All yum! After speaking with the owners, I'd recommend following them on FB because they have a lot of wine/beer (and even heard they have a jack daniels) pairing nights. They usually have live music most weekends. read more

We we're staying at the Pipstem State Park resort and this was the only nice restaurant within miles. Terry the bartender/co-owner was knowledgeable about their bourbon selection, which was quite extensive for being so remote. The food was really good but about average for fine dining. Our server was excellent and very entertaining. Overall a good experience. read more

Beautiful country restaurant with amazing food. The steaks are always great but don't be afraid to try the specials which are inventive and delicious. And you are served by a friendly and helpful staff. read more

While visiting Pipestem state park we decided to venture out for a nice dinner. We discovered The Oak and we're so happy that we dined here with our family! The restaurant is on a beautiful farm, the service is friendly and dinner entrees included rainbow trout, fried oysters, steak options,and appetizers and scrumptious desserts. Everything seemed to be made fresh with local ingredients, they also had a nice wine list as well as a cocktail list :) Just a note, the restaurant was only open Thursday through Sunday, and reservations are required. So a quick call the night before to make the reservation was easy to do. If you're in the area, come out to The Oak to enjoy a wonderful dinner with a casual setting! read more

Ate here Thursday night in party of 10 for college graduation get together. Took us 3 hours to eat and food was very so so and very expensive!! What was worse was we were the only people in restaurant. Beautiful property and grounds though. Only saving grace. Sorry but would not recommend. read more

One of the best dining experiences ever! Rachel took great care of us from beginning to end. Great atmosphere. The food was terrific. The details matter. The Oak got it all just right and then some! Thank you for a great experience. read more

This is probably if not the best place to dine in West Virginia. High attention to detail the best food and service there is!!! Have eaten here many many times and have never been disappointed.

It was our first visit, and I have to say we absolutely loved it! The steak was perfect, along with the fried green tomatoes! This is our new favorite date night! 10/10 read more

We had a delightful dinner with a lovely view of the fields and the horse! The filet and the rainbow trout were both delicious. Emily was a wonderful server - couldn't have been better!! read more

A really amazing place! Came back three times in a week, the Brie was fabulous, both as a dessert or a appetizer. The escargots were also very buttery and very very good. The pasta contains every ingredient I like, and the flavor steaks was also perfect! Loved every single entree. The creme brûlée was also a must try dessert! Glad we came here as a large group so we can try a lot of entrees. Would come back again if have chance. read more

The Oak - Seafood Near Me - Pipestem, West Virginia

Place is very charming and elegant. Food was amazing. I've had a lot of filets but this one was up there with the very best. For a filet it was massive so that was nice! We were staying at pipestem and the food there was awful so we were pleasantly surprised to find this place with great food. We will definitely be back if we're ever in the area again. The tree is beautiful. read more

We came here for date night. This was our first time and it was amazing. The food is great as well as the service. And the view is beautiful. And they had live music. We have decided this will be a regular dinner choice for us. Compliments to the chef, owners and wait staff! read more

The Oak - Escargot. Sorry I forgot to take pic till after we ate them. Lol - Seafood Near Me - Pipestem, West Virginia

What a wonderful holiday night out with my guys! The food was perfectly prepared by Chef Matt Gillespie. Our table had escargot, beet salad, fillet mignon, prime rib, and a Philly cheesesteak. As scrumptious as the entrees were, the red cabbage soaked up the flavor of the red wine demi-glaze from the filet was extraordinary! This was my first trip to the Oak in over 25 years...under new management and an amazing addition to Pipestem's culinary offerings. read more

The Oak - Seafood Near Me - Pipestem, West Virginia

Much improved since our last visit. The trout was fresh, the chicken very tasty, and the service was classically impeccable. Your going to spend over $35 per person, but it's worth it for a special occasion. The views from the dining room are of beautiful farmland. read more

Outstanding dining in a spectacular setting! The restaurant is named for the huge ancient oak that graces the front lawn and is said to be 600-800 years old! And the food is marvelous -- fresh, innovative, and beautifully prepared. The Baileys (owners) have created a superb dining experience. Highly recommended! read more

We have to reduce what would be an across-the-board 5-star rating. Certainly the food and service rate a 5. Unfortunately, this self-titled supper club chose to make the dining experience only tolerable. We were unable to have a conversation during our 7 p.m. Friday evening dinner date due to live music in the dining room. Please know that the musicians were good and the music selections appropriate; but electric guitars and microphones were too much for this small dining room. The restaurant has a smaller dining room (lounge), off the bar, on the other side of the building. Perhaps that room, with a dining option for either room, would be better. read more

The food is good, the view of the large oak tree is special and the dinner music is pleasant, but it is to LOUD. It makes table conversation very difficult. Keep the live music going, just kill the electric guitar and use a flat top. read more

We had a 7pm reservation for 2 people. We sat for 35 minutes before we were even offered water... finally took our order.... waited an hour and 5 minutes and asked for our appetizers, they were out of the ones we ordered. Finally got some bread, had to ask for it. After waiting 1 hr and 45 minutes, we got up to leave and the owner was extremely rude to us. We put money on the bar to pay for our drinks and she chased us out to the car and threw it back at me. Will never go there again. read more

We had dinner with the great people at The Oak today it was a great experience. Great food, Great Service and Great Music. Thank you so much! We will be back soon. read more

We took our 2 sons and daughter out for a celebratory meal last night at the Oak and had the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. My husband ordered the prime rib and my son ordered the filet. Both ordered medium rare. The steaks came and both were over cooked- no big deal. Sent them back and were having a fun family conversation. A woman holding her purse approached the table and asked what was wrong with the steaks. (We had no idea who she was). We said they were overcooked. She said she looked that them and they were not overcooked to her. We said ok, but they were to us. She said something about being tired after traveling three hours to take care of her mother- a little confused we said 'sorry to hear that', but then she began to argue about the steaks. The waiter came back out with new steaks- my sons filet was completely raw. The waiter began to join in with the woman arguing about the first steaks. He said things like 'I just ate that last steak- it was fine' and 'I can't believe you all are so picky.' My husband mentioned that he is from Chicago and has eaten a steak or two- and the waiter yelled 'does it look like we are in Chicago!?' My husband said 'please leave- we will just take these steaks' as the woman and waiter became heated and continued to argue. My older son finally said 'go away!' The woman (who finally yelled that she is the owner) told him to 'go away' and my younger son started to cry. We ate the edible part of the meal and paid our $178 bill and left. If you are going to charge Chicago prices, you had better not just be able to cook a steak properly, but also be able to handle a customer that is not satisfied with their meal. I know the climate of the service industry is tough now and we are always kind and respectful to our servers. The way we were treated was beyond anything I have ever experienced. We did not let this experience ruin our celebration of our son, but it was certainly a rude interruption to our family time that we value so much. read more

Had not been here in quite a while, but so glad I came back. The place is under new management & what an improvement. This is the place to go for good food & wonderful atmosphere. Service was great & you can hear the people at your table. I will return again for more great food. read more

This place is incredible! I would highly recommend coming here - the food is delicious, the service is great, the atmosphere is incredible, and the people here are unbelievably welcoming and kind. read more

My wife and I had dinner here tonight, what a great restaurant! Our server Lexi was great and very attentive. I had prime rib with fingerling potatoes, green beans, and broccoli. Absolutely delicious begins to describe our meal. Dessert was a key lime tart with fresh berries, it was phenomenal. My wife was also given a rose when we left. Nice touch. read more

The owners were personally very helpful in accommodating us. They saved us a handicapped parking space and helped get my 92 yr. old mother in and out of the restaurant. Everyone in our party of five throughly enjoyed the delicious food we ordered! We'll definitely be back, whenever we are in the Pipestem area again. read more

We're so glad we made a reservation at The Oak after reading reviews. We stayed at Pipestem for the weekend for our anniversary and dinner at The Oak was the highlight. Beautiful setting, delicious roasted chicken and trout, and the best Brie appetizer. We can't wait to return to this special spot! read more

My friends and I looked over the menu online and already had figured out what we wanted. We were a large party so we only got to pick from 3 entrees and one appetizer, which is fine, but once we got the meal it wasn't as good as anticipated and didn't even fill us up. We all had to keep changing our drinks because nothing tasted right. Most of us were overall disappointed and recommend eating something other than the 3 entrees we were offered. It was not worth the bill. read more

Excellent food and service !!! The ambience was of course nice too. We had a group of 6 people and everyone cleaned their plate. We will be back!! read more

Our table for eleven was served without problems. Food (including prime rib, filet mignon, and salmon) was excellent, service was courteous and friendly, and the live music (singing guitarist) added extra fun for our group. A hidden jewel; highly recommended. read more

Absolutely amazing, best around for miles and we will return again and definitely recommend to anyone.

My parents took my sister and I here for dinner during our vacation. The prime rib my parents ordered was dry and lacking in flavor. My sister ordered their $30 filet and it came back so small that she was hungry by the time we returned to the lodge we were staying in. My crab cakes were minimal at best and the dinner rolls they served were obviously store bought. The servers were more interested in socializing with one another than serving the customers. To put it simply, the dinner was supposed to be the highlight of our evening and we left unsatisfied. read more
