Oak City Grille

Oak City Grille is a relatively new addition to the Royal Oak restaurant scene. Located on Sixth, between Main and Washington, it is always packed when we drive by. Our neighbors were interested in going out to eat, so we suggested this place since they hadn't been there yet either.. We wolfed down on the bread that came to the table, so we skipped the appetizers. Food Guy ordered the Pesto Gnocchi. Food Gal ordered Chicken Enchilada Soup and a Spinach Wrap. The food was filling, so dessert was skipped by everyone.

Food Guys says: This restaurant is always busy. After being inside, I can see why. The decor is nice and they have an extensive wine list. Since, we weren't drinking though, we had to rely on the food menu. This is where the restaurant is really lacking. They offer only about 12 entrees. This doesn't give you much choice when you compare it to other restaurants in the area. My food was excellent, though. The gnocchi were a good texture and the pesto, cream, and cheese were all excellent. And it was filling, I had to bring some home, which isn't a typical problem for me. I would have ranked this restaurant higher if they offered more choice. As it is, I won't frequent it because I can't get much variety. I rank this restaurant:

Food Gal says: The Chicken Enchilada Soup was good, but too spicy for me (my taste buds are extremely mild). If you enjoy any sort of spice, I think this would be a winner. The feta on my wrap was very good, although overall I thought it was a little on the bland side. The fries had a slight freezer burn taste. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice though, open windows, wood decor, bustling clientele. Service was good, our drinks were perpetually refilled. The menu itself was not very extensive. I don't know that I would be dying to eat here again, I think I would rather try somewhere else:
