Oakhart Social

Went in for drinks and apps.... Nothing disappointed. The wood fried oysters were delicious, the salad was filling, and the shrimp were fresh and tasty. It is a little load inside when the place is hopping though. Will certainly return.

Absolutely incredible experience. Definitely shared plate, shared experience place but service and food were spot on. Would definitely recommend.

Oakhart social is creative, comfortable, and casual. Take advantage of the small plate format - everything we had was as tasty as it was well-presented. A couple can finish 3-4 plates. The tuna crudo is an absolute must - wonderfully flavorful and complex. The fried chicken was definitely a departure from your standard fried chicken, with Thai spices and a fish sauce vinaigrette on the side. The indoor dining is at full capacity again, and the outdoor dining is well shaded. And great service!

Fantastic food -- roasted broccoli, beets, mushroom pizza... a complex symphony of flavors that Brahms would die for. Complimentary glass of bubbly for our anniversary was a nice touch. Great service (h/t Karen). Hoping to go back again soon.

My husband and I came here for our one year anniversary and we had the best experience - thanks to Jordan for taking care of us! The food was seriously phenomenal - one of the best meals we have had in a while. The timing of the dishes was perfect. The wine selection was great. Customer service was top notch. We can’t wait to come back!!

Great space with an intimate feel. Grab a seat at the bar (but save one for me) or a table, they have indoor and outdoor seating. When the weather gets cold the outdoor seating is covered and heated, you could also ask for a blanket that they have available for a little extra warmth! The staff is amazing, I travel alot for work and finding a place that genuinely makes you feel at home is so important. The flounder special is a MUST if it's available!

Had a wonderful meal at Oakhart! Everything was creative and fresh. Our server was just attentive enough. The beet dish was earthy, creamy, and crunchy. The rockfish was delicate and herbaceous. The food was so good we couldn’t stop eating and we only got a picture of our third dish, the most unusual and delicious fried chicken ever!

Romantic atmosphere and superb food. The pork belly dish was like none other. The pork melted gently in my mouth and even the kale garnish was crisp and tasty. The lamb shank is also a must have!

A great find in a city full of great finds!

I sat at the bar in their super comfy and Uber-hip red bar chairs and was very well taken care of by the friendly bartender.

I had the Tuna Crudo as an app (pictured), which included some legumes on it as well....a first for me, but they pulled it off. The flavors matched very well for a delicious, light appetizer.

For the meal, I took the bartenders suggestion for the pizza special, which was a work of art and also wish I unfortunately forgot to photograph in my excitement to get started. It had pickled tomatoes, squash, onions and a delicious cheese blend to match an equally delicious crust. Perfectly cooked and I savored every bite!

In a great food town, this place definitely rises to the top and I’ll be returning next time I’m here.

Had dinner couple times here. Always have a great experience. A must go restaurant when you’re in Charlottesville. Here are couple of my personal favorite from my dinner ,,,

Oakhart is one of our favorite places in Cville! Food, service, atmosphere are all top notch! Rowe & Albee are the bee's knees 😍.

Best beets we've ever had. We even had a friend with us that thought he didn't like beets until he tried the plate at Oakhart. Total convert!

I believe that everything they make is unique and perfectly executed! Love that the ingredients are locally sourced, seasonal and always fresh!

The food was incredible. The entire menu sounded amazing but I selected the wood fired oysters and fried catfish which were both excellent. The atmosphere was very cute and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend it.

With this part of Virginia having very little places with good food and vibes. This place is an absolute gem. A must visit for folks who are coming from out of town.

Best cooked oysters, tuna crudo, fried chicken, and pomegranate margaritas!

I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here and the planning process was very easy with Ben and he was super responsive. The food was AMAZING and the staff was great! My family kept saying how it was the best rehearsal dinner they have ever been to! I was not sure about the family style service when I first looked into Oakhart but it ended up being awesome!!! Perfect amount of food for everyone! I would highly recommend hosting an event at here!

We had a delicious dinner! We ordered the whole flounder and the mushroom pizza and both were excellent.

Really, really spectacular food! The fried chicken was insane (and I don’t like chicken very much). But the s’more bread pudding blew me away in complexity, texture and presentation! The carrots, pizza and scallion pancakes were just ok but highly recommend this place.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Oakhart Social the Friday night before our wedding. Ben Clore was incredibly helpful as we planned the event and selected the menu. He went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and that we had access to the space in advance to help in our planning process. Ben and rest of the staff at Oakhart made our night so special. The setting was perfect, the timing of events was seamless and the food was absolutely incredible. Many of our guests still talk about how delicious everything was. Thanks so much to Oakhart and we look forward to coming back soon!

A Charlottesville staple — we ordered the beet salad, roasted carrots, pickled shrimp and grilled oysters. Everything was delicious including our wine and cocktails.
