“The Oakville Grill & Cellar delivers the kind of dining experience that feels both elevated and effortlessly comfortable. The space itself is warm and lively, with a beautiful bar centerpiece and a dining room that strikes a perfect balance between upscale and inviting. We started with a variety of appetizers, and every single one was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with attention to detail. It set the tone for what turned out to be an excellent meal. For mains, we had the steak and the salmon, and both were exceptional. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and rich with flavor, while the salmon was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully prepared. It’s the kind of place where you can tell the kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the overall atmosphere made it a great spot for both a nice night out or a group dinner. Definitely a place worth coming back to especially if you’re looking for high-quality food in a vibrant, polished setting.”
“Everything I ordered was amazing except for the Gouda Grits…😔 they had absolutely no flavor, salt didn’t help. It would have been a 5 but when you say creamy Gouda Grits…we should taste the flavor. Other than that it’s a nice spot with great service and a great atmosphere. I’d recommend and I’d come back!”
“The wood fired brick chicken was juicy and amazing. And the potatoes were perfectly purred and the roasted garlic was perfect together. Our server was amazing. The grilled chicken paillard salad was delicious. The old fashioned drinks were solid. Great ambience and so beautiful.”
“This place knows how to do it! Eric was a great server and offered legit recommendations. We had the French toast, Costa Mesa salad with salmon, short rib hash, cinnamon roll and deviled eggs. Everything was delish. The French toast was huge and moist. The staff are so helpful too. Cat took a bomb diggity photo of our group on the staircase. She got all the angles and now we have a digital memory forever.”
“Service was great. The tuna tartare was fantastic. As an appetizer I could have had that for my meal it was so delicious. The rest of our menu items were a hit or miss on our personal palettes. The best brunch item was the French toast with apples.”
