Oak & Palm Sunset Beach

Took my wife of 11 years and my Valentine’s Day of 16 years there to celebrate for Valentine’s Day. We just moved here last summer, so didn’t really know what to expect. It was a last-minute reservation, but I know from reading the reviews that they were known for their view so I thought at a minimum well at least have something good to look at. When we arrive, we were a little earlier. Our plan was to hang out at the bar and have a few drinks. They accommodated us quickly and actually gave us our table early. Our server was kind and thoughtful gave great recommendations. My wife, he had the lobster bisque soup as a starter and I had the cheddar rice ball beef thing lol Hers was way better than mine, but mine wasn’t bad at all just if I could go back in time I would definitely get the s

Dinner for 2. We had 2 craft beers and a glass of wine. Started with the calamari. It was very good. Not the typical Italian spice marina style, but lemon pepper. Nice and light. 2 entrees blackened Mahi and the miso glazed grouper. Both were hot and delicious. Food here was excellent. TJ was a great server, but not over bearing, gave us time but was attentive. He spaced out our app and main meal so we felt comfortable. Manager checked on us and made sure our needs were being met. This is a higher end restaurant. Very adult. Be prepared to pay 30-50 for a dinner entree. Portions were spot on. Now the only suggestion I would have it the decor or ambience. Everything was cold grey floors, wall, pictures. Lighting was off. We sat under a bright light bulb at the bottom of the stairs. Not r

Let me tell you something!!! Everything absolutely everything was amazing!!! The calamari was seasoned perfectly and fried to perfection. The hush puppies are homemade. The Korean short ribs are out of this world. They are tender and sauced just right. The shrimp and grits have a great balance of Cajun spices and cheesy grits along with the salty ham. And the deconstructed s’mores OMG!!! Just try it and see. The atmosphere is amazing. Our server Skyla was so attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She made our dinner so special. Oak and Palm is a gem. If you are in Sunset Beach, do yourself a favor and stop by!!!

This place is AMAZING. My husband and I went there for my birthday dinner and lunch the next day. The apple and arugula salad is the best salad I've had in my entire life. The taste is phenomenal. The seared scallops were mouth-watering. My husband's burger looked juicy and delicious with melted cheese and a bacon jelly. The smores dessert was great too. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere of the place was wonderful especially with the views of the water. They have a great outside dining area as well. I 100% recommend if your near the Sunset Beach or Ocean Isle area. I'm pretty sure I'd travel even further for this food.

My wife and I had dinner here with high expectations based on other recent reviews, but not quite so high marks/enjoyment for us. We were seated upstairs in a large dining area, which had nice window views. However, the walls were stark and plain and the room was very noisy throughout our dinner, at about 1/2 to 2/3 full. (If ceiling tiles were to reduce noise, they didn't help much). Beyond the atmosphere, our waitress Skyla was very good, as was our meal service througout our dinner. We ordered a glass of Riesling and a Manhattan, with Basil Hayden. My Manhattan had a bit too much sweet vermouth. Our appetizer was the Calamari, with asparagus and piennoli cherry tomatoes, which was very good. We ordered the Blackened Mahi over aspargus and mashed potatoes, and their Miss Calabash that i
