Oak Steakhouse Restaurant Review:


A fixture for the city’s well-heeled, Oak Steakhouse has stood the test of time and weathered an onslaught of competition from other high-end establishments on the Charleston peninsula. Originally built in 1850 as a Savings & Loan, the three-story restaurant is the epitome of character and luxury entwined, the service first-rate, and the wine list as high-toned as the rest of the place. The Italian accents come out in a Gorgonzola fondue served with sweet apple slices and shatteringly crisp fried pancetta. Osso buco is a standout, and side dishes served family-style are uniformly rich. The steaks are consistently satisfying and accurately prepared, and are accompanied by a choice of sauces for those who are so inclined. Jumbo lump crab cakes pair with a pink peppercorn and Old Bay aïoli. Crème brûlée passes the classic "separates the men from the boys" test --- but it takes a passionate eater to take on such richness after a whopping steak dinner.
