Oakwater Bistro - Granite Bay

Okay. Let’s leave off the distractions like misspelled words in the menu and undertrained waitstaff that other reviewers complained about and talk about the FOOD which is AMAZING. Fresh pasta made in house? Yup. Farm fresh kale and pomegranate and squash and corn? Yup. House made potato chips to die for? Yup. Pet-friendly patio and indoor booth seating? Yup. Temple coffee served in a French press? A thousand times yes. They even have gluten free and vegan options. Do yourself a favor and go for dinner. Try their seasonal pumpkin cake, it’s so delicious. And then go back for lunch. I’ll probably see you there :

My family held a 30+ person party in the side bar area of this facility. The service was amazing, the food was high quality and good prices, great portions and did I mention high quality? I would bring a relaxed date here to eat lunch with a beer, or have a fancy night out in one of the best areas Granite Bay has to offer! The beer variety is extensive with light to dark and everything in between. We couldn't have chosen a better place to come for the party since everyone was extremely impressed with the entire atmosphere and food. Thanks to this place for such a fun day!

Oakwater offers a chef's table at a reasonable price. The wine list offers quality choices also at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is cozy. We have been there three times. Each time the waitstaff seems to be training. Plan some extra time. Honestly, it is nice to have some time to enjoy being out with friends and family.

Staff were on point. Lasagna was wellmade and fresh even on an early tuesday night. Beer selection is mostly local with a good variance of styles, all bottles no draft but not old. Bit pricey but still cheaper and much quieter than hawks. Lunch menu looked more interesting than dinner, looking forward to it.

Oh my gosh, this restaurant is a hidden gem. We love love the Bourbon Bacon Hamburger! Have been there several times since we discovered this place, and never have been disappointed. We really enjoy sitting outside, it's so relaxing as you can see and enjoy the view of the water. My new place to eat. Thank you for the great food!!! We will be back!!!
