Reviews for Oakes & Evelyn in Montpelier, VT
Perfect day for light brunch fare topped with a few glasses of Prosecco! Service was excellent also! The boas were spicy but... delicious. Vermont tomatoes….so fresh! Read more
The soft shell crab bao is terrific. My steak was good but it was cooked a little beyond the medium rare that I ordered. They... have outdoor dining but they won't reserve an outdoor table however they will put a note on your reservation that says you wantit. Read more
Soft shell bao bun was excellent, I enjoyed it very much. Scallop and pork belly was good. The steak was slightly overdone (not... medium rare as ordered). Chocolate desert was a mousse with strawberries and raspberries for nice ending that was not toosweet. They have a nice outdoor area - 4 or 5 tables under umbrellas. They protect from the sun but not rain. Read more
It’s one of the best places to dine in Montpelier. The food was good. The staff was super friendly and they even helped me... customize my dish as I’m a vegetarian. It’s a decent size restaurant with a good decor. I would recommend the Spicy SzechuanShakshouka and also the Local Mushroom Toast. The coffee was super nice. I don’t usually like coffee everywhere but they hadgood ones. Read more
Outstanding food, ambiance, and service. A refreshing gem in a fading world of cuisine. The owner spent as much time cooking... as he did checking on customers. It was so great to experience someone at the top of their aptitude. Worth every penny, willbecome a fixture for our celebrations. Read more
We loved this restaurant so much that we went back for dinner after having brunch at the same day. We were happy surprise by... every dish we ordered. The ingredients are fresh, and every element of the dish is creatively put together that makes it uniqueand flavorful. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in Vermont. Read more
Wow this place is absolutely amazing! All of the food was fresh and in season, as well as prepared with extreme attention to... detail. Chef Justin has an incredible palate, and was really able to execute on all of the flavors. It’s really hard to choosetwo favorites from everything we had, but I would have to say the crispy octopus and the fontina tortellini. 10/10 we will becoming back here. Cannot stress enough how friendly and welcoming the staff was in addition to the high caliber food. EDIT:It’s now August and my partner and I have been here a few times since our first review. I have to say I’m am thoroughlyimpressed with Chef Justin Dain’s ability to present seasonal dishes at a highly consistent level each time. The gnocchi issome of the most delicate and flavorful I have ever had. At this point I have been here enough times to say this is is truly thebest restaurant in Vermont! Read more
Outstanding! Parking was easy and free right in front. Amazingly, we walked right in without a reservation and we’re seated... immediately. This place is busy and they accommodated us seamlessly. We tried several dishes, shared them all and each keptgetting better. Service was excellent (esp. Vanessa) and the food was well worth the price. Highly recommended! Read more
