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.

This spot is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Bonus: I found out there's going to be a DJ every Saturday night for the foreseeable future.

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!

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.

They have an extensive menu a very interesting and fun drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. Many of the drinks reminded me of something that I may find at a tiki bar. Although we did not try any of these drinks this time, I would definitely come back to explore the menu further if I was looking to have drinks with a friend. The real reason we came here was because my friend had heard that a woman comes on Monday nights and serves homemade Thai dumplings. This was in fact, true, and we split two orders of dumplings. We tried the traditional dumplings with meat, and the vegetarian dumplings. We received.Five dumplings per order, that were served quickly. The price was fairly reasonable. We both agreed that these dumplings were very good,. My friend enjoyed The traditional dumplings the best, whereas I loved the vegetarian ones even though I typically don't enjoy vegetarian options. The servers checked on us frequently and left us with a small picture of water so that we did not need to keep asking for refills. The interior of this bar has a great ambience that I would recommend for a meet up with a friend or a date. They do not serve many food options, in the night we were here the only food that they had was the dumplings. I would be more inclined to come back if they offered other snacks or appetizers. I would however definitely try this place again.
