401 Oak

We came here for dinner after passing by and liking the looks of the restaurant. The atmosphere is awesome and very inviting. Loved the house music. The cocktails were excellent and the food was delicious. The salmon, hunter’s chicken, and kale salad were all incredible. The portions were generous and the prices very reasonable. The service was not fast but we were not in a hurry. This could be our new favorite restaurant in Iowa City.

Visited with friends for the first time. It’s a hidden gem. Was warmly welcomed and seated by the manager. Lovely and cozy atmosphere. Depending on seating, you can watch the cooks prepare the meals through their open kitchen. The food was delicious and elegant presentation! For the appetizers, ordered the Glazed Brussel Sprouts and Baked Brie. They were the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Entrees were Penne A La Vodka, Lobster & Shrimp Ravioli, and the Grilled Salmon Filet. All fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly with great portion size. Our server, Kevin, was wonderful. Ask for his recommendations. He gave great recommendations to our appetizers and entree, which didn’t disappoint. Was treated with some sweet treats. The coffee, lemon, and vanilla ice cream were creamy and flavorfu

Cannot recommend it enough!!!!!! Planned a large private event with my sorority at 401 Oak! The Venue is gorgeous with lots of room. There’s an upstairs and a lounge area which is so cozy! Very accommodating owners and staff willing to help with anything! I simply cannot say enough about how great their staff was and how personable the owners are. I met with Whitney to plan food, decorating and logistics of the event! Communication was amazing as well! On the day of the event both Server and Whitney check in with me throughout! They both served drinks as well- connect with their customers! Great people and will definitely be returning to 401 Oak for a date night! As for the food, it was so good!
