Oval Office

Holy Cow!!! I had never been here before and was extremely impressed... we only had appetizers... Brussel sprouts, mushrooms and meatballs... the meatballs were very good, but fairly plain... mushrooms were good and very tasty... but the absolute star were the Brussel sprouts.
I had never had them prepared that way before and they were awesome!

This a great place for some American/Italian combinations! The food is amazing for reasonable prices. It is small and very busy most of the time so plan ahead and make some reservations. Also the covered deck for seating is awesome when it is sunny so consider the weather. This would be a great place to take a date. It is classy with some rustic vibes.

I love brussel sprouts and these were hands down my favorite EVER! Everything else was good too. I will say that this is probably not the most vegan friendly restaurant due to the abundant amount of meat and cheese on the menu, but those brussel sprouts make up four that.

The Oval Office must be my absolute favorite local restaurant. While many would ignore the oddly placed building due to its small size, I recommend you give them every chance they deserve. The sister restaurant of The White House Grill (which, I strongly dislike, mind you) is just absolutely fantastic.
Now, I can’t say I’ve always had the most stellar service. Waitresses are scattered, the building is small and incredibly loud (like, you’ll be yelling across the table to speak to your date), seating is scarce indoors, you’re either seated in a spot that’s boiling hot or freezing cold (ALWAYS CHOOSE THE PATIO IF POSSIBLE). Minor annoyances aside, you came here for the food. So, don’t mind the kitchen, as it is the tiniest I’ve ever seen, because they know how to deliver when it comes to delicious meals.
Happy hour is where the deals are at. When we go with friends, we order a handful of items from the Happy Hour menu and share with the entire table. They definitely don’t skip on portions! My personal favorites have to be the Lamb Burgers, Indian Pizza, Curried Mussels, and the Gorgonzola Cheese Fries. Stay about a thousand miles away from the Onion Rings, that’s the only item on the menu I’ve tried and absolutely hated. They’re soggy, bland, and sad. Not worth it, so don’t try them.
When it comes to actual entres, my go-to is the Spinach Salad with Blackened Salmon… it’s… heaven. Also the Peppercorn Steak will be the best you’ve ever had in your life, and the Dijon Chicken is mouth watering.
The Martini’s are cleverly named and mostly politically based. They are not shy about making these drinks strong!!! You won’t be hurting for alcohol when you leave.
Overall, I give the OO a 5/5 and will always. Even on a bad day, they are still worth visiting, as your stomach will leave happy.
