White Oak Kitchen and Cocktails Review

Really tasty food everything was delicious except the catfish ramen which was a little too fishy.

Excellent eating experience. Great food at a great price! Meal was served hot and excellent taste. Server was very friendly and helpful.

We were in the area and decided to use our Dining Out book. If you don't have one of those books you should seriously look into it.White Oak is fancy by not pretentious. The decor is beautiful and the menu pricing is decentI ordered a Malbec, which had a nice smooth taste and the pour was generous.

After being seated, I was disappointed by not being greeted by our server. I watched another couple sit and begin to order with their server after us. Our wait was about 10 minutes and it was unnecessary because it wasn't overly busy... I went back to the host to question why no one had come to our table. From that point things got much better. The appetizers were ok, not impressed with the deviled eggs at all but the Beignets were excellent! Entrees were pretty good; absolutely loved the collard greens. I spent what I expected but the overall experience fell a little short. Even still, I would be willing to drop in again.

Stopped in for cocktails and appetizers and was not disappointed! Every dish is well balanced and thoughtful prepared; the beer and cocktail menus will satisfy any palate.

One of the nicest restaurants i have been to the place is beautiful. The staff is friendly and food was great! The fried chicken was my favorite. Parking wasn t bad for being in midtown. They have so many private rooms would be perfect for events.

They don't spilt checks, no parking lot, food is just ok. A little too pricey for me.

Good food reasonable prices great service could have more comfortable chairs

I really enjoy this place. The food is always great and the drinks made well and come quick. It is also great to see a nice spot right on peachtree here. Getting to see different areas of the city is nice, so that is part of the benefit of heading to White Oak. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed the restaurant a lot. The short rib was delicious, very tasty and tender. Our server was most helpful in our selection.

First impressions at White Oak are of a subtly stylish and inviting atmosphere of a finely designed dining room. The host is kind and sets you at ease with a friendly welcome. The service is lively, well-paced, and if you're lucky enough to encounter Louis, full of positive energy and thoughtful suggestions. The chef, Meg, is a magic maker - we were delighted by superbly crafted mac and cheese, a salad deliciously balanced by flavorful veggies (as if fresh from the market) and a complementary vinagrette, and a chocolate mousse bomb we can't begin to describe. All told, an excellent eating experience!

Very classy, food on point, nice selection of drinks, Staff very friendly, Richard is a great host!

Great drinks, delicious food, and great atmosphere! The service was excellent!

White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails is a nice big area with a lively atmosphere. The short rib and shrimp beignets were both excellent.

Delicious food, I had the fried chicken and my best friend had mac & cheese with crab. The service and the drinks were amazing!

Interesting, well made cocktails. The duck was great as well.

The food was very good. It got busy and service slowed to a crawl. But I would go back and give it another go.

Tolu Masha is the best server anyone could ask for. She deserves the best guests.

Nice place. Order today and maybe you ll get it tomorrow.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and especially appreciated Shawn's (spelling?) attentiveness and attention to detail. My party was able to really focus our discussion without unnecessary interruption and with timely service. All staff paid attention to service. The ordered broiled oysters (temperature was luke warm), scallops (great texture and even a bit of a crunch along the edge) greens (excellent), and beignets (different welcomed twang) 5 tut 5 6. Enjoyed the meal. But it did not make me dance (family litmus test).

Our waiter was so knowledgeable about the menu and actually stayed to talk us though our drink and food decisions. The pork shank might be the best dish I've ever had at a restaurant. All for a reasonable price. The bar also has really cool decor. Love the lamps around the bar with old telephone pole insulators (I have family in the electric business.) I would highly recommend.

Ordered the Old Peachtree. Was soo good I had a second one! I'll be back for sure!

This restaurant and staff did not disappoint. Our server Bridgette was super sweet making recommendations and ensuring we had the best experience. We started with the Mac n Cheese and pimento fried green tomatoes. Both were excellent. As our man we split the fried chicken which cooked to perfection. To end the night we shared a piece of butter pie which was also very good.

Very nice. High end. Excellent service.
A bit pricey but you're in the heart of Atlanta. Free parking.

Yes not the most budget place, however the beautiful setting great food and even more significant the amazing staff make this place a must stop. Was walking along from visit to world of coke and came in for lunch. The food was great, but for this type of service I'll come back.

Selling tickets to your bar during dragon con is costing you money. I used to love this place now just disappointed.

In town for a work conference, my friends had gone there the night before for dessert and drinks. They casually mentioned beignets, that got me interested, and they took me with them that night. Upon walking in, the hostess recognized my friends and welcomed them/us like family. We interacted with the hostess, server, bartender, and manager (owner?), each one treated us like old friends. The dessert was great, the drinks were great, the atmosphere was great. It's an easy walk from where we were staying at the Marriott Marquis. We will definitely be back the next time we pass through ATL.

The food here is always good. All of the chefs creations are wonderful and exciting to eat. Yummy, yummy.

Good food. Not much offered on menu, but what is offered was prepared well.

The service was excellent. We had a large group and they were on top of it. We had a variety of food and everyone loved it. I had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly. I will definitely bring another group back.

I'd hate to base this on one visit but it was on dragoncon and quite chaotic. Took an hour to get our food. Food was not up to par.

I'm sorry to say that the food quality was not enough to justify waiting an hour for it.
It wasn't bad, but it just failed to impress. I kept wondering if the restaurant was understaffed as everything seemed to lag behind a dining room that wasn't even half-full.
Perhaps it's better if you're already planning to lounge and drink for a long time.

I cannot comment on the food but the beer selection was decent. The interior decor is nice, but the bar stools are made of metal and extremely uncomfortable after a period of sitting. Maybe the shorter chairs are better.

This is a great place and has some wonderful craft beers and drinks. The food is also great and reasonable priced.

Open and airy. Solid food. Service was better at lunch than at night when they were busier but still acceptable. Nice wines. Had the crab cake, sauteed mushrooms, kale salad and she were delicious. Also had the chocolate mousse dessert which was the bomb!

Had an amazing time! The staff was accommodating. Our server made great suggestions for us. We will definitely be back!

Great food and only complaint was a little slow. The flights for bourbon and rye are on point. The fried green tomatoes are on point. Plus as always make room for dessert.

i came here for a quick dinner. they have a separation of fine and casual dining, but dont tell you what is available on each menu. I sat at the bar where you get all the menu options and I went with the fried chicken and the cheesecake. The chicken was interesting, it came with cheddar rice which was really well made but i wouldnt recommend this dish itself. I would definitely recommend the cheesecake though, its not a slice, but is really well presented and looks wonderful. It's all these little cubes of cheesecake on a platter, with a variety of other desserts around it as well. Also tastes great! I had the devils haircut to drink, really great option, i would recommend this if you are a whiskey drinker. I would say the prices are a little steep but I had good service and good food so I would definitely go back. $50 with tip for everything

Stopped in on a recommendation. Had a drink I asked for an Athena which they were out of stock ok the server suggests another sour beer it was fine. However, I didn't realize the beer he suggested was $21 dollars. I have no problem paying that if its something I wanted I though it was something close to my original beer purchase that was 7 bucks. Nearly 40 bucks for 2 drinks?? Once looking at the menu it said market price which if I was the server I would have informed the customer what that price was. We were planning on eating but the menu was so limited we decided to go elsewhere. The atmosphere was nice and balcony was perfect but overall disappointing experience.

Our waiter seemed to be intoxicated. Forgetting things, slurring his speech, wobbling while standing, unable to focus when reaching for the glass.

Great ambience and the food was outstanding on both our visits. The devilled eggs have to be tasted.

walk into a very understated elegant and modern restaurant. giant wood chandeliers add to the ambiance. starters and entrees are delicious. food is cooked to perfection. be careful of the service. they sneak in an extra dessert on your to go bag.

From out of town and was told to go for souther comfort food. This place is not southern comfort food, however it was good. It's pricey and you need to plan to order something for each course or you will still be hungry.

Easily handled our group of 200 people without even stressing the situation. The most excellent wine selection I've seen in Atlanta.

So good! I had been here once before for a work function and they just served some hors d'oeuvre. I was happy to go back and try this place for lunch/dinner when I was in the area again.

I was not disappointed. It was a bit pricy but overall a good food. I really enjoyed the Solstice Soup. It had a great light texture. I had the short ribs for dinner. The whole dish worked really well together. We ordered some seasonal dessert that was only so so. I would be willing to try other things though.

My rock shrimp salad was barely lukewarm while my companion had a nice hot po boy. The latter was tasty while mine was okay.

It's a neat spot. Was barren of customers when we went. The beignets I got we're way too chewy

No only was the food amazing but so was the service. The attention and attention to detail was impressive. Highly recommend.

Great cocktails. Food was pretty good. Very expensive for the portions. I d only recommend going for a drink or two and then heading somewhere else for dinner.

My company hosted a private event here and couldn't have been more pleased. Guests raved about the food, and service was top notch. Staff were a pleasure to deal with. Private rooms are spacious, though rest rooms are shared with entire dining room (but also fairly large so waits an unlikely). Highly recommend!

This was hands-down some of the BEST soul food I've ever had!!!! The fried chicken was to die for and left me dreaming about having more! The sides were equally good. I should add that the food wasn't greasy, which is hard to find with good soul food. The food is reasonably priced and all home made. The desserts were home made and good as well, though I found the banana pudding too sweet. (I am not a big sweets fan anyway.) The decor leaves much to be desired. The restaurant is in an office building and has about 10 tables for 2- 4 people each. The walls are covered with pictures of celebrities who have eaten here or had catering from here. It was interesting to see the faces.

This is an amazing place and really captures the essence of Atlanta. I had researched this place weeks in advance and it did NOT disappoint. I had the fried chicken and the bourbon pecan pie for desert. Both were absolutely out of this world and as someone who grew up in the south, I can say this was authentic and delicious southern food. Our server, Darius, was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our food came out in perfect timing and the atmosphere was fun and chic. I give it a 10/10.

Fish was not that good, but the appetizers were great

Good beer list and cocktail options. Amazing staff. The beer we wanted had run out so they worked to find us a suitable alternative.

Very disappointed in the host/hostess service. Not at all helpful.

Food was delicious and although a little pricey, was definitely worth it. We had the shrimp bites and was highly satisfied! The service was less than desirable since we waited almost 30min just to get the check and leave. However, the server was kind and helpful. Food came out fast and great!

Great service. Share the sides.
Redfish portion was small but with all the side dishes, plenty to go around.
KC steak was bone in, nice size.

Happy hour craft drinks were great and complimentary snacks were very much appreciated (and needed)

Good service. Interesting variations on the menu. Very nice atmosphere.

I was here for an event as part of a conference. The staff were friendly, there was great service, and the room was nicely decorated. The appetizer buffet was really good, with the favorites being the mac and cheese and sweet potato tots.

Food was a little disappointing this time. The Rib Eye tasted more like a filet. I like filet but...

Poor service, long wait, hour plus for food - then waiter states they do not have half of the food in the back to complete our order. Very poorly managed. Times have changed here. Wouldn't recommend to my enemy.

Scott was fantastic. He made sure we were happy! Definitely will visit again!
