Oak Bistro

Delicious scallops on butternut squash grits! Also loved the mocktails. Ambiance is fun and pleasant, a place where you can have a conversation.

I've been slacking on writing reviews... I even missed writing one for this place the first time I went, but better late than ever. Better yet, I'll keep it short and sweet: This is not just a Cambridge/Somerville food destination, it is a Boston metro destination. I'm not sure exactly what it is, I mean sure the food is outstanding, the atmosphere is nice and the service is delightful and engaging... but also, the sum is greater than its parts as it is really special experience. Try all the small plates, try the (cauliflower) soup, get the gnocchi, get the duck, get the Tia Maria (drink), thank me later. The corridor from Inman to Union has so many great options and this is easily in the must-try category among those greats. ...Also they stay open till 2AM with full menu till 1:30 for some reason, and god bless them for it.

We were hungry vegans roaming around Inman Sq. Cambridge, MA on a chilly, drizzly day looking for a satisfying, nourishing meal when, to our surprise we found vegan items on the menu in the window of the Oak Bistro. We are in! Our server Amelia is an amazing, kind and super helpful person who answered all our questions and offered suggestions. We ordered the Winter Bliss Farro Bowl made with local beets, roasted sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, baby kale, cranberries all lightly coated with a maple cherry vinaigrette that was stunning! We had a side of Garlic Roasted Broccolini and an order of Grilled Asparagus in Meyer Lemon vinaigrette……it was a party for the taste buds!! The vegetables all were bright green (except the beets/sweet pots) and flavors complimented each other beautifully! Highly Recommend!

All I can say is WOW. Oak bistro is delicious. We walked in on a Tuesday night and were fortunate enough to get sat right away. From the drinks to the dessert we were impressed with everything. We ended up sharing a number of shareables. Top recommendations are definitely the potato pave and short rib croquettes. Also, lots of gluten free accommodations. Definitely check this place out! I can’t wait to come back and try more. Adding to my review because I came back! This time we tried mains & we loved them’

Great service, great food & drinks. They were super accommodating when we had to add an extra person to the reservation last minute.

The food is OK, not worth the price tag, in my opinion.

I love this place the price is right and delicious food... two up. I recommend this place.. first time tried bison burger...loved it
