oak at fourteenth

foodie's delight!. our table of 3 enjoyed a seafood saffron risotto, a ravioli and the sole with kumquats (pictured). each was savory, impeccably prepared and immensely satisfying. thestaffwas prompt, professional and tended to our needs beautifully. we were just a bit late for our reservation, due to 2 traffic accidents on the way over, but a call to inform them resulted in a very understanding and accommodating response. it was a delightful evening out!

had a wonderful lunch at oak, food was delicious andstaffsolicitous. i had a reuben sandwich which was above my expectations, everything was fresh nicely warm and full flavor.

second time i've visited this place i thought they might have been able to turn their service around but unfortunetly was met with an annoying and unhelpful waitstaffand hostess that was rude. the menu looks good but the service ruins it.

great food, loud, too many waiters and a bit pricy. the food is interesting in a very good way. the rest of the dining experience was much less impressive. the place is packed and very loud. at times it was difficult to hear the wait staff. i was annoyed by the number of different people on the waitstafftouching the items on the table. the value was just not there.

oak at fourteenth is without a doubt one of the best places in boulder. i've been there a number of times for midday snacks and cocktails, but just went last night with out of town guests who were, like me, in the mood to try a number of shared and small plates. we had fried pickles, braised meatballs with burrata, roasted cauliflower, rock shrimp, roasted brussel sprouts, shaved apple and parmesan salad,the pear and treviso salad, and some wine. not only was every bite of food fantastic, the service was impeccable. thestaffat oak pay attention to every detail of your dining experience and make it worth coming back again and again.
also, as a predominantly vegetarian diner, i enjoy the vegetable options on the menu (which changes weekly). oak is a restaurant with a menu just big enough to have something for everyone, and everything is worth trying.
