Oak Tree Ristorante
Oak Tree Ristorante is nestled in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains with surrounding redwoods, rivers, wineries, and the sounds of the steam engine in the distance. This restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends, family or that special someone.
Located on Highway 9 in Felton, just south of the entrance to Henry Cowell State Park. The newly refurbished restaurant has a warm and welcoming ambiance inside and out. Enjoy dining in a storybook setting, serene garden views, the gentle sounds of our fountain, and overhead, the sheltering arms of our spectacular giant oak.
Chef Nobile has created an excellent wine list; a selection of both local and Italian wines, making Oak Tree Ristorante the best destination in the San Lorenzo Valley.

"Some great friends of ours invited us to meet them for dinner at Oak Tree. I have to admit that when I read some of the reviews, I wasn't sure I wanted to make the drive to Felton for poor service and small portions. Surprise! Surprise! I'm not sure what restaurant others were reviewing, but we had a great evening with great food, great service and great anticipation to return. Makes me wonder if some of the bad reviews were written by competitors? We enjoyed tasty appetizers and delicious entrees. (I did skip on any meat since the steaks received the worst reviews - so I can't vouch for the meat). We had fresh, perfectly seasoned seafood dishes. As good as the service and food was, the setting was well worth the drive."

"We enjoyed a beautiful evening dinner outside. The setting was lovely. Before you eat, be sure to take a stroll through their redwood grove."
