Oakhart Social

“We loved dining at oakhart social. It was a really fun experience and very festive atmosphere cuz we were surrounded by laughing and celebrating people so we really enjoyed our dinner as well as the atmosphere. We had a round robin of all different varieties of entrees appetizers and you name it and everything was good. The whole table was very happy. Highly recommend”

“This restaurant consistently ranks top three for me for all restaurants in the Charlottesville area. Their cocktails are incredible, each dish is absolutely perfect (I recommend their shaved salad, the roasted carrots, they’re fried chicken, and it might not sound fancy, but their pizza as well). My one recommendation is that our server was really low energy and did the bare minimum.”

“Enjoyed a lovely dinner at Oakhart Social this past Saturday night will visiting Charlottesville for the weekend. We got a reservation at 8:15 and were worried it would be too late - since the restaurant says it closes at 8:30 - but they assured us that this was just the latest they accepted reservation. We stayed until 10 and it was still populated inside. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating, and gave us a ton of great suggestions. We ordered the chopped salad, smoked carrots, 5-cheese pizza, and hangar steak, and finished the meal with the key lime pie parfait. Everything was great, with the salad and carrots being the standouts. We were told to get around 2 dishes per person, and this was the right amount of food (we were stuffed and had some leftovers). Definitely recommend this place. Great food and staff.”

“We had no reservation, but we still went to see if they had any open seating around 5:30pm, and we got seated right away in their heated outdoor patio! The restaurant gives very cozy, rustic vibes - very warm. Service was great, the waiters were super attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious! They serve family-style, and they recommended ordering 3-4 items for 2 people. Hanger Steak - If there's one thing you must order, THIS IS IT! Paired with the chimichurri and aioli sauce, it was **chef's kiss** Grilled Oysters - Oysters were well-balanced with garlic and cheese and tasted super fresh, no surprise being right next door to public fish and oyster (hehe) Roasted Mushrooms & Polenta - This was the surprise of the night, where the oyster mushrooms had a citrus/tangy taste, and the polenta almost tasted like baked mac & cheese, but WAY better, especially paired with the chili creamy sauce! And don't get me started with the dessert & cocktails! The s'mores bread pudding was a unique take on s'mores and it was not too sweet approved! And all the cocktails we tried were good!”

“We finally tried Oakhart Social after hearing about it for years. We dined at the bar, it was a bit loud and service was not very attentive. As for the pros, we enjoyed the salad and broccoli. We ordered the “seared salmon” and were alarmed when it came out more than half raw and uncooked (as in the photo). Checked with the bartender who seemed to suggest that was normal and that the partial sear “cooks through” the salmon, however, nowhere on the menu was it noted that the salmon was left half raw and uncooked. I would not have ordered it had I known and the bartender didn’t offer anything to accommodate. It was gross to eat. The mushroom with polenta is also heavily smoked and came with a heavy cream sauce that wasn’t for us.”
