Unfortunately, this restaurant has closed. I am quite sad.
I actually have been twice so far. Because yes, it's that good.
Although the real reason I didn't post earlier is because I went without Patience and I have not heard the end of it. Luckily, we celebrated Bethfest at Oaked so we could all try it out and now I can post ALL the pictures.
Please note that the menu is seasonal so not all the items will remain, but all the food is just gorgeous. I really don't think I'll be writing much... and just let the pictures do the talking. But really, just go. Although, I should note that it probably is a special occasion kind of place. Yet, you could still make a casual night out of it hanging in the bar area sharing a few starters.
You could probably just make a meal from the starters, but there are just too many tasty items. Try to go with a large group so you can try a good variety...or go more often.

I loved that there were a couple of cheese items to choose from, and I really could have used more avacado. Five crustinis are not enough!
 |
| Pork Belly |
 |
| Smoked Trout Cakes |
If you're a piggy fan, you definitely have to get the Pork Belly. It's one of those melt in your mouth kinds of dishes. And the Smoked Trout Cakes could easily be a main course. (You can add on any scallops!)
Now that you're warmed up and stretched, how about a salad course?
I loved the Tomato Textures...tomatoes three different ways!

Patience got her favorite green thing: Brussel Sprouts!

If you're still possibly hungry, check out the Duck with Foie Gras...I felt fancy.

The second time around, Patience and I were smart and split the 14 ounce Ribeye, but we added a scallop so we could take advantage of the add on as well. The Ribeye rested on top of a bed of corn and fingerling potatoes. You can also add on foie gras butter too!

Not full yet? Save room for dessert... you're going to want to. The desserts change frequently, but hopefully there will always be something chocolate and something cheesy!

Or perhaps a lemon tart instead?

I didn't even have time to mention the wine list. With a name like Oaked, you're probably expecting a lengthy list. Let's just say it's of biblical proportions! Luckily, a sommelier is on staff to walk you through it so have no fear.
I can't wait to go back.
