Council Oak Steaks & Seafood

Went here with a group this weekend. The short rib and crab cake starters were amazing. The porter house was cooked to perfection and unbelievably tender. We added on the lobester and king crab. You get a nice bit of king crab, you get a lot of lobster for the price. The service staff were great, very attentive. You never had to ask for anything they were always nearby to see if all was well. Overall good experience here and I highly recommend checking it out.

This is probably the best dining experience we have ever had together. From the beautiful and relaxing atmosphere (and lighting- you can tell from my pictures which aren’t always the best, and how great they look here) to the attentive service, to the phenomenally tasting food- everything was perfect. We started with a glass of Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay, which was described to me as “exquisite”. I ordered a “Toasty Twist”, which I enjoyed so thoroughly that I ordered a second one. The bread that was brought out was a pleasant surprise, deliciously and heavily salted and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. We ordered a crab cake, which was also delicious, and the mustard aioli was just enough to set it apart from other crab cakes without detracting from the crab itself. I ordered a “Wood-Fired Specialty” Seared Tuna for my main, and the lobster mac and cheese side to share- because I’m always going to try a lobster mac n cheese if it’s on the menu . Both were fantastic. Zero complaints. The lobster mac had big pieces of lobster, and the tuna was perfectly seared and had a distinctly fresh flavor. He ordered a Filet Mignon Crab Oscar (because he’s always going to order a filet, as I will always order a lobster mac n cheese ) which he stated was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. He ordered it cooked to medium, and it was presented with a crisp, charred exterior with a juicy, red center. He couldn’t have asked for it to be cooked any better. We both added 1/2 lb Alaskan King crab which is just one leg - the perfect amount to add to an already large dinner. It was also cooked perfectly and served with drawn butter and a lemon half wrapped in cloth to catch the seeds. It was pre-cracked, so exceptionally easy to remove from the shell. I tend to prefer Snow Crab over King Crab, but that’s probably because I’m from Michigan, where it’s not as easy to get good King Crab. This was the best King Crab I’ve ever eaten. I snapped a picture of the table after we finished eating and before dessert to allow you to see how clean the tablecloth was after our server removed the crumbs. The service was truly exceptional. We were seated right by the kitchen, but the staff was so professional that it didn’t bother us at all, and actually added to the ambiance of the restaurant. We ordered the Chocolate Brownie Mousse Cake for dessert, which we ate half of and saved the other half for home- and we ate it the next day, and it was STILL scrumptious. We subbed the mixed berry sorbet that accompanied the cake with a cherry almond ice cream, which we commented at the time that we should’ve ordered another scoop. It was PHENOMENAL. Dinner was finished with some wet towels on lemons, which was appreciated after eating our crab legs ☺️. Seriously, if you can, visit Council Oak Steaks & Seafood. You won’t regret it!

I’m not the kind of guy that leaves a a lot of reviews but the meal I just had was … OUTSTANDING. The asparagus was juicy and tasty, my lobster mac n cheese was delicious and the steak was one of the best I’ve had in years. I had to walk slowly back upstairs to my room no stopping to play a game or anything and the aftertaste is still in my mouth and it’s good too I’ll post some pics but don’t think it was “plated” that way - I put it all on one plate and got busy. Nice view of the Ferris wheel at the steel pier too. They also took my military discount. HOAH!

Paula the server was amazing. Food was fantastic. Highly recommended.

4 of us went. 735.00 I felt prices were extreme. 22 for a martini? You purchase a steak for 75 dollars, and there isn't a veggie on the plate, not even a garnishment. Used to love it, but for what we paid , I can get the same elsewhere for 20 percent less

Heather was our server and she was great ! She was really nice and attentive. The other servers were also attentive and kept refilling our drinks. For the apps, we got the beef tartare, octopus, and short rib. The apps took awhile to come and they were all spaced out. We would finish 1 app and a few mins later, another came, and so forth. The octopus and short ribs were so tender and flavorful. The beef tartare was bland. I had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly. I had a side of chimichurri sauce and it was tart. I barely tasted the garlic or seasoning. The asparagus, lobster mac and cheese, and creamed spinach was very good. The crème brulee was very good.

Great place for steak and seafood dinner. The restaurant is spacious and right on the boardwalk. You can see the chefs cooking which is fun. Service was slightly slow but it was a busy night and everyone was very friendly. From bread for the table to entrees everything was delicious. We got the oysters, Burrata, scallops, and the filet mignon. We also did the Brussel sprouts and lobster Mac sides. The steak was cooked perfectly. The brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious. Definitely will return
