    Cannot give a restaurant like Oakley’s Bistro a rating of more than one. We made three different requests to turn down the volume of their background music. Oakley’s management ignored each of our requests, and did not offer a reason as to why the music could not be turned down. So, we had to put up with trying to hear each other over the loud music. They just don’t care. Obviously they must think the reason people visit Oakley’s is to enjoy their canned music rather than enjoy their food and time with those with whom they are dining. Hopefully one day they’ll learn to appreciate those who visit their Bistro rather than take them for granted.

    Food was tasty but salty, very well presented, and overpriced. The service was perfect.

    Hands down the best tasting food I’ve had locally in the past few years. All four people in our party agreed this was a high-end dining experience. Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff.
