"My husband and I had a lovely dinner. The service was good, and the salad and soup were wonderful. The entrees were not as exceptional as we were expecting, but still good. However, we ordered decaf coffees at the end of the meal and were shocked that the coffee was very weak. The waiter kindly replaced our cups, but did not check back to see if the new coffee was an improvement - it was not. Not a big deal in the overall scheme, but last impressions can be lasting, too."

"Not bad, quite good actually. We had a completely competent dinner with solid service. A bit on the sedate side but not unpleasantly so. This was a dinner with one of our two children and they were, as you would expect, very accommodating. We'd go back."

"The waiter (Euthemio?) was absolutely terrific, and made the experience very pleasant. He was attentive, efficient, knowledgeable, and personable (great smile!). He went the extra mile to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. He was sensitive to the fact that we were having a business discussion (and, thus, did not disturb our conversation), but was right there when we needed anything. BEST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD -- and this is said in the context of having had many business lunches at restaurants far more expensive in many cities around the world. (BTW, I don't usually take the time to write a review, but I just had to this time because the service was so good.)"

"My husband and I are regulars at Oakville Grill and, once again, the food and service didn't disappoint. Lovely tilapia and rockfish. We love Ida, the elegant-looking and warm hostess. The only quibble was that the upside down apple pie was cold and the bottom crust almost impossible to cut into even with a knife. But a nice dinner as usual nonetheless."

"There were 8 of us, and everyone said their varied choices were delicious. We were celebrating 3 anniversaries, and you offered up 3 or 4 desserts, which we all thought was very nice and thoughtful. The service was excellent. We had been there two or three times with one other couple. This was the first time we were with a large party, and our experience was the same, i.e., excellent.
My only minor complaint would be the noise level. It was a little on the noisy side. Other than that, it was great, and I wouldn't hesitate to make another reservation."

"We went to Oakville Grill for our anniversary dinner. We had mussels for appetizer and they were amazing! The restaurant is cozy and somewhat loud. We could easily hear conversations at nearby tables. The service was very good as our waiter was very attentive. They surprised us with champagne and strawberries after dinner to toast our celebration."

"Very lovely and enjoyable Thursday night and the staff was especially solicitous and understanding when our party turned out to be fewer people than expected. Tilapia, scallops, etc. were winners."

"Our two entrees were wonderful, and the fresh mushrooms on the white pizza appetizer were amazing. However, don't bother with the horrible bread. Why a restaurant of this quality would not serve decent bread is puzzling. It had the texture of week-old Wonder bread. We will definitely go back."

"Oakville was a good choice for a pre-theatre meal before heading to a performance at Strathmore. The service was a little slow and my lemongrass shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the portion sizes were generous. The food was a bit pricey even for the good sized portions. The atmosphere was very nice and we enjoyed the wine selection. Due to the slow service we did not have time for dessert - and this was a 6:00 reservation for an 8:00 performance. We should have had plenty of time."

"My family and I dined at Oakville for Easter dinner. It was a wonderful experience. The lamb was absolutely delicious. We like this place because it's small and quaint, and the staff are very friendly. We will be back."

"Excellent food and friendly prompt service. Our only negative comment is that it is quite loud, despite the fact we were seated by the window, which takes away from the otherwise wonderful experience."

"The Oakville Grille is in a small shopping center, and the store front is not impressive. But that was the only unimpressive portion of our evening. The service was impeccable, and the food was just as good and very inventive in its presention. I would recommend Oakville Grille for anyone who loves dining, as opposed to just eating."

"I have been going to Oakville Grille for many years and so glad to see how busy it is these last several times I have eaten there. I had to learn that service is much slower then in the past as it is really busy. Just know to give yourself little extra time and just enjoy the experience and food."

"We were lucky enough to have a good waiter at this really mediocre restaurant, surprsingly so. Nice ambiance. We'd read some reviews and were looking forward to the dinner. In a word, the food was simply not good, not adequate for the prices charged. There were three of us, and the bill came to $250, inlcuding tip and a $54 bottle of wine, which, was uninspired. The Lemongrass shrimp and trout were tasteless, mussels cooked in a brine a wee bit too acidic. Most things had hardly any flavor, no salt, no seasonings to speak of. The lamb chops were all right, though in a reduction sauce that was just on the wrong side of too sweet. The best thing was the calamari. It was seasoned well."

"Went to Oakville Grille and Wine Bar for Valentine's Day and were pleasantly surprised. It's located in a weird area but it is definitely a hidden gem. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for something gourmet with a versatile wine list.
Service was slow but I think it can be equated to being a holiday."

"I stopped in for a quick lunch and had a cheeseburger. It was better than expected with a nice char on the burger and good french fries. The service left something to be desired as they were not very attentative. All in all for under 20 bucks I had a great lunch."

"good wine by the glass selection for Montgomery County. The food presentation was well executed -- caesar salad in a vase formation. The food was fine but nothing extraordinary."

"I've never had a bad meal at Oakville Grille. The food and wine list are excellent (although a bit pricey). My husband had the seafood risotto, and it was really outstanding. It's very convenient to Strathmore, and the staff is always accommodating about getting our check to us in time to get to the show."
