| - I can't say anything about the wine which gives The Mighty Oak Barrel its namesake, but I can definitely say the food was delicious. Seriously high-quality appetizers and entrees for an appropriate price (a fellow diner I was with got duck, which was $22 for a smallish portion, but that's about the only overpriced offering I noticed).
I personally had the Jamaican jerk chicken, as well as a wedge salad, and both were truly phenomenal. The menu isn't huge but offers a wide variety of cultural cuisines with some sauces and sides that are a bit more elevated than your usual sit-down place, like ratatouille, green beans almandine, carrot cole slaw, etc.
Our service was outstanding. Our waiter balanced the art of checking on us too little and too much perfectly. He was very attentive , and also saved me tons of money by substituting someone else's salad for the iceberg wedge I ordered, which I greatly appreciated.
I would've dressed a little more nicely if I had known more about The Mighty Oak beforehand. It has low lighting and nuanced decoration, and is small/personal. It's a great place to bring a date! I thought it might be more of a casual place, but it definitely is more appropriate for a slow, quiet dinner with good friends.
The Mighty Oak Barrel is an all-around great restaurant with emphasis on quality and service. Definitely recommended!
