Nothing I can write, nor any photo I take, will do justice to my experience at Oak Steakhouse in Rogers.
The big picture: It was the best meal I've had in a long time.
- The steak was perfect, the sides top-shelf and the service first-rate.
The vibe: It's on the sixth floor of Hotel Avail, so the view is better than most restaurants in Rogers.
- The dining room was warm and airy, a welcome change from a lot of other upscale joints.
- Good jazz for background music rounded out the experience.
The other side: Much as I don't like to review chains if it can be helped, Oak Steakhouse is part of a larger group that also operates Junto Sushi in Bentonville.
- There are seven other Oaks throughout the south.
Yes, but: The good news is that the other group is Indigo Road Hospitality, which was recently appointed as the new operations partner for Ropeswing, the hospitality group under Steuart and Tom Walton's Runway Group.
- Maybe Ropeswing's portfolio of good restaurants will get even better.
If you go: Reservations are recommended, and there's a dedicated entrance for the elevator left of the Avail lobby.
- It ain't cheap. Dinner for two, appetizers and two glasses of house wine came in just under $200.
Check it out: Dinner served Sunday-Thursday 4-9pm; Friday and Saturday 4-10pm at 4100 S. Pinnacle Hills Parkway in Rogers. Brunch and bar also available.
