| - This is my first visit to the White Oaks and was initially lured in with a $50 groupon for $25. It is very dark, could definitely use a remodel with a professional decorator. My group of 3 was the youngest group dining late on a Thursday night. There is a large sign suggesting a dress code and a pretty conservative crowd. Another sign asks customers to refrain from using their cell phones.
We started out with cocktails, split of champagne for my girlfriend, I had the apple martini and other friend did the long island iced tea. All the drinks were fine, nothing special.
We only did one appetizer, the chicken skewers. This way a great start to our meal. The meat was tasty, tender and grilled to perfection. Something I would definitely recommend. So yummy, my girlfriend placed another order for her entree. Along with the tomato and mozzarella salad, she said she was satisfied with the food and pricing. She did eat all her food, which rarely happens with her.
I had the filet (8 oz) cooked medium and I did upgrade ($3) for the demi glaze sauce. The sauce reminded me of a thin BBQ sauce, which I wasn't expecting. All in all, it was a nicely seared and seasoned (cooked perfectly) and the sauce was good. Not sure if the sauce was necessary, but it wasn't bad at all. This comes with a twice baked potato (just OK) and brussell sprouts and carrots (veggie of the day). I do like brussel sprouts, I didn't necessarily like these particular brussel sprouts but I ate them none the less.
My other friend did the strip steak with the same sides. His steak was yummy, cooked well but perhaps a little under seasoned (for his taste). He hates brussel sprouts, and the twice baked potato got some attention (not too much though). I think he was the least pleased with his experience out of the three of us.
The service was 5 stars. Our server did a wonderful job and was very friendly and insightful. The view was great and I loved finding out about the history (open since 1928 and used to be a speakeasy).
One thing I will add, we were the loudest table and a little buzzed as well. The staff was very gracious and didn't seem to be bothered by our liveliness. Not the best place to go for a fun dinner, but we sure did enjoy ourselves. Even if the other patrons were annoyed, I don't think I care. It seemed like they could use a little action in their lives anyway.
