Had really high expectations after reading the reviews and seeing the menu. Loved the ambiance and the menu was diverse with many choices to our liking. Our service was fantastic. The menu and prices also lead to high expectations. While the food was good, I did not find the outcome was at the level I’d expect. We eat at higher end restaurants with similar pricing and get a very chef driven experience that wows us. Good not great on the entrees. The butter cake was a knockout!

Went for brunch on a Sunday. Got there at 10 and there was already a line. Finally got to the front and found out they wouldn't seat me until everyone in my party had arrived. So walked around their store for a bit (quite overwhelming). Once seated, service was pretty quick. It's very unique on the inside, all the tables are irregular and there are hidden spaces everywhere. Pretty quirky little place. Tried to order the fondue but they were out. Ordered the bruschetta instead and it was delicious. I ordered the French toast and asked for the compote on the side, but they put all the toppings on the side, which was fine. My friends ordered the apple pie pancakes and the shrimp and grits. My friend said they were the best shrimp and grits she's ever had. Took a bite and they were delicious. My other friend also liked her apple pie pancakes. I ordered a Bloody Mary and had to send it back because all I could taste was celery. Overall, a good experience, but it's quite far away so don't know if I'll return.

My mother treated me here for my birthday this past weekend. The Shrimp and Grits were delicious, as were the Blood Diamond Margaritas. Our bartender and waitress, Meredith, was attentive and personable, which added to our overall experience. We are looking forward to visiting again soon! 🥰💕

Love the vibe.
Olivia was amazing and her suggestion of the Shrimp and Grips was perfect. The grits were nice and creamy. The little kick was awesome. The shrimp were big and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be back

We went to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious and was the right portion. The atmosphere was great. Saeid took great care of us and the rest of the staff is welcoming and friendly. The only downside is that their mugs are stained and makes them look dirty.

Take the time to visit the shop and buy some of their unique items. All in all, a great experience!

The White Oak Cottage was the perfect spot for our Girls Luncheon. We were able to chat and catch up while enjoying cocktails. Service was amazing. Thank you, Val, for your patience and excellent service. The food and cocktails were excellent. Three of us had the combo soup and sandwich, and one had soup and salad. The portions were perfect, and food was yummy. The atmosphere was cozy and very enjoyable.

Stunning! Breathtakingly beautiful dining area and cottage store. My new favorite place for girl’s night!! Get the tea. I won’t even ruin it, but get the hot tea! Lattes were superb. Excellent menu variety!

I am not going to lie, we had a big party for brunch on a Sunday and we waited a long time for a table. That did not stop us from having fun. There is a bar you can walk up to so our group got a couple of bottles for mimosas and waited outside. Once we sat, the manager took care of us and was so nice. Our waitress was great as well and the food was amazing. We had the oak board, whipped feta and bruschetta as appetizer, all amazing! I had the burger bowl and the flavor was out of this world! 10/10 worth the wait and would definitely recommend!
