ABOUT
We love food. We love to taste food. We love to eat and try everything. With that being said, when we go out to eat we have a difficult time deciding what to order. We almost always end up sharing an appetizer, salad and an entrée. That way, we can try several different things without being overstuffed or over spent.
That is the premise behind 116 Oak. Having tapas style dishes allows you to taste a lot of foods and flavors while sharing with your friends. Our passion for food and travel has inspired our menu and our love for great wines and specialty beers is illustrated in our eclectic wine and beer lists.
Our extensive menu has something for everyone. Our dishes are packed with flavors and are prepared fresh daily using seasonal and local ingredients. Our chef has created a wide variety of tastes including our classic southern pimento cheese, to the Thai taste of our organic salmon. Everything on our menu is easy to share or perfect for an individual meal.
