F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- What is the dress code at Oak & Grain?
- We do not have an official dress code, and we want you to be comfortable here. Many people visiting our restaurant are on vacation and dress accordingly. For the most part, our guests tend to dress business casual.
- We heard you offer a prix fixe 5 course dinner. Do you offer an alternative?
- We changed our format back in the spring of 2020 to an a la carte menu. Now you can reserve a table when you'd like to dine and choose off the menu what you'd like to eat. If you only want an entree, no problem! If you miss our 5 course format, we do offer it as an alternative, which also allows us to offer wine pairings with your meal.
- Do you still offer a cocktail hour?
- If you'd like to enjoy a beverage on the lawn or in our living room prior to your reservation, we are happy to serve you. If you have a reservation to dine with us, please arrive before your reservation time to allow for a relaxing cocktail before you are sat.
- Why would I choose the 5 course vs. the a la carte?
- This depends on your own preferences! The 5 course is a prix fixe menu, where you have choices for most of your courses with the exception of the Intermezzo. The format allows us to pair wine with your meal, as we know your courses ahead of time. It is something many of our long term guests enjoy as it is reminiscent of our past signature experience. That being said, if you are not sure what you will want when you arrive, stick with the a la carte - our menu was designed to be coursed out!
- I’m a vegan with a gluten-intolerance. Will there be something for me?
- We got you covered! If there is not something on the menu that suits your dietary needs, our culinary team is ready, able and excited to make something accommodating for you that lives up to the reputation of all our menu items.
- Are you open to the public, or only to inn guests?
- We are open to both! We love to have our inn guests dine with us, but we are equally happy to see our neighbors, friends, new friends or travelers staying locally. We offer a wonderful, personalized experience we are eager to share with you!
- I would like to sit at a specific table. How do I do that?
- Due to the nature of our restaurant, we are unable to guarantee specific tables. Let us know your needs when you reserve and we will do our best to accommodate you. However, we design the tables each night based on the current reservations to allow everyone to have a nice experience. We do assign tables in the order the reservations are made. Occasionally, due to size, you may be limited to a specific table.
- I am interested in hosting an event at Oak & Grain. What do I do?
- Send your requirements to [email protected] and we will get right back to you! We host events of all shapes and sizes and are happy to speak with you about your needs.
- Will Oak & Grain be serving on the Patio this summer?
- Yes! Our plans are to open the Patio for Memorial Day weekend, when the weather is reliably warm. Please be aware that the patio is not covered, so if it is raining, the patio will be closed. Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee indoor seating in case of rain, so please plan accordingly.
