Oakleaf

We came here for a dinner with friends. The food was pretty good and there was a nice variety of choices. The cocktails were tasty. I do wish there was more consistency between the portion sizes on the meals and appetizers. Pasta was very small and expensive vs some of the other mains. We will probably be back to try it again.

We went to Oakleaf to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and are so glad we did! We were planning on ordering the chef’s spontaneous tasting menu. It was graduation and Mother’s Day weekend, and it turned out the chef had taken the tasting option off the dinner menu since it was going to be so busy—but he made it for us for the occasion! Very kind and not at all expected. But we are so glad he did because it was absolutely delicious. It included 5 courses and 3 mini-courses and we got to try homemade ravioli, duck, and steak, among other things. Everything was cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. They sent out a candle and a little note with dessert, which was a thoughtful touch. We will definitely be back—soon!

The one thing I noticed that could be improved is the ability to make instant online reservations, like through Resy or OpenTable or a similar software. Right now you fill out a form and then they get back to you via email to let you know if they have the time you want available.

excellent food, and honestly for a very good price. highly recommend for a celebration - we went for a graduation dinner. everything is very fresh!

My wife and I have been going to Oakleaf for many years, since their Pittsboro days. It's absolutely our favorite restaurant. Everything is superb. They use fresh, local, seasonal ingredients and the menu is constantly evolving. The service is also excellent, as is the ambiance. I LOVE OAKLEAF.
