Oakleaf - Carrboro

One of the best restaurants in Chapel Hill. If you don't have reservations, eat at the bar.

Food was and is always exceptional, however; the service tonight was horrible. My wife wanted to take me to my favorite spot to celebrate my birthday. The server was completely disinterested in serving. no refills, no banter, no explanation of menu, no water, literally dropped menus on the table and walked away only to return and ask if we had decided. This happened for the meal and dessert. My kind hearted wife decided to at least leave some tip but it was not deserved nor was it what we typically tip. too many other options in the area to suffer through this lack of service.

Casual, family vibe; food is not as good as the hype.

The pasta was amazing! I can't wait to come back and try other dishes. I also loved the tuna carpaccio

Truly exquisite culinary expression! The milieu was perfectly complimentary to enhancing the entire dining experience. The service was exceptional. The cocktails were uniquely and expertly crafted. Every course contained a precise presentation and portion that appealed to different parts of the palate. The combination of colors and flavors created a work of art, that was invigorating to all of the senses! The balanced mixture of subtle and bold details pulled everything together in the most satisfying manner. Every sip and bite was a true celebration of creativity and highest quality.
