What a treat! We stumbled upon this place when we were on a short weekend trip, and it will now be…read morea regular place I go to when I'm in the area. For those who need a wheelchair entrance- they had one setup in the front. The portions of food are generous! The staff is super kind. And, it has a very intimate vibe to it. There were musicians playing in the entryway when we stopped in. The cheese board and wine could have filled me up by itself. But, I also ordered a flatbread. I was amazed when 2 generously sized flatbreads came out. 10/10, definitely recommend.

They have a large selection of house wines as well as other brands. The server was kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the wine. All the dishes are enormous and meant to be shared. We shared the goat cheese with blackberry preserves and a Genoa flatbread and even with the three of us, we had a lot to take home with us. The duo and the flatbread were both incredible. The flatbread is actually two whole flatbreads and the dip was the size of a dinner plate. They were kind to get us an extra loaf of bread to go with the dip because we ran out. Their kitchen closed at 8 even though they were open until 9. That was about annoying because we considered ordering an additional dish but worked out fine since the dishes were so large.

Dark, moody, sexy...exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when you're getting dressed up, grabbing cocktails and catching up with a girlfriend. We grabbed seats at the bar and the bartender was fantastic. She welcomed us right away, asked if it was our first time, and gave us a quick rundown of the menu and cocktails. For our first drink, we both ordered the Black Widow...having absolutely no idea that it came with a whole presentation. Needless to say, we were entertained. The drinks here aren't just drinks -- they're part of the experience. For dinner, I ordered the gnocchi but swapped out the regular sauce for the spicy marinara they use with the calamari. GREAT decision. The spicy marinara worked so well with the gnocchi and I'd absolutely order it that way again. Pricing felt very fair for what you're getting. The food and cocktails were both high quality, but you're also paying for the ambiance and overall experience -- and Oak & Olive nails that part. Great drinks, great food, fantastic atmosphere and exactly what our girls' night needed. We'll definitely be back!

There's a secret entrance since it's a speakeasy, which is fun. Someone is always there to help guide you if you can't figure it out, haha. The lighting is low, and there are a lot of comfy spots to sit, which makes the environment feel very calm and cozy. We ended up all ordering a variety of espresso martinis. Mine was a crème brûlée one, which was divine, but they all sounded delicious! We also ordered the fig & pear pizza to share. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the flavors worked really well together! I'm hoping I can come here with my husband soon.

The crostinis are amazing, crispy exterior bread with soft interior with toppings you don't usually find on other menus. I ordered the Tuscan chicken, Brie and fig, and sweet and spicy goat cheese crostinis and all of the ingredients blended perfectly. My favorite item was the pulled pork and Brussels flatbread. The horseradish silo really tied the flavors together. There are indoor and outdoor seating options depending on weather, and just overall a great experience. Classy place.

Umbrellas are a bit unstable. While there one almost flew in to the lake. But we are here for wine. Walk in and you can smell the food. I did not have any food so I cannot comment. Smelled good though. People seemed to enjoy. They had a special on sangria so we went with that. They said it was a pint glass. But it's not a pint. I have had a pint many times and this was just a solo cup that is less than a pint. Not the red solo but clear with lid. Sangria was ok. Fruit was a slice of orange. A bit dry for me. Not horrible but not to my liking. They have a handful of other wines. You can try and taste just ask. The issue was really the employees. I thought they were abrupt and kinda rude. I am here to spend money and it seemed like my questions annoyed them. Never been here so I wanted to know what everything was about. Maybe I went on an off day. There were quite a few people there trying to enjoy the day. Overall i might pass next time. Good view. But so-so on the experience.

My wife ordered the Pirate's Platter comprised of broiled scrod, skewered shrimp and a crab cake. She said it was the best scrod she's ever had. She had a pumpkin pie martini which was cleverly garnished with a small piece of pumpkin pie. My entré was the Shrimp Scampies over rice with a side of au gratin potatoes. There were five large scampies and they were excellent. Both meals came with a dinner salad with your choice of dressing. The server was attentive to our needs without being bothersome. My only complaint is Arnie's, like so many other restaurants today, adds on a 4% fee for credit card use. All in all it was a great meal worth the drive.
