What an enjoyable dining experience, the food was superb! I came in with my husband and we loved the professional yet joyous attitude of service! Our server was not only very friendly but very attentive as well. The Restaurant was professional enough for a business dinner and friendly enough for a family occasion. Silver Oak is a small intimate space where laughter, warmth and cheer fill the air The menu offered so many intriguing items that we decided to get several dishes and share. We decided to start off with their Cajun Escargots E’touffe, it was just a melt-in-your-mouth delight. We were taken aback by that unbelievable spicy zing the Escargots had after our initial bite. We then ordered the Rich Man, Poor Man and the Lamb Four Ways, as our main course. My husband and I were both in awe when the dishes were served. The presentation was not only fantastic but very creative! The food looked just as good as it tasted! The Lamb had a wonderful blend of flavors and the goat cheese bread pudding was just the right touch to compliment the taste of the lamb. The Rich Man, Poor Man’s grilled monkfish and lobster were cooked to perfection and were a palate-pleasing delight! Finally we finished our meal with the Granny Smith Apple Pie. The whole pie was made from scratch and was topped with homemade ice cream, let me just say that it was to die for! I was so impressed with each and every dish that I immediately called all my friends and neighbors and just raved about this great new addition to Ridgewood. Silver Oak American Bistro has a very fresh and exciting aura about it! It is unlike any other restaurant I have been to in Ridgewood and has something unique to offer in every dish on the menu and has a commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! Absolutely recommended, and will most definitely return! less

In a town full of restaurants, this newcomer stands out. I have been to Silver Oak five times. My first visit was with two friends. They have both gone back with other friends; word-of-mouth has made other friends insist that we return with them, too. To eat at the Silver Oak is to experience a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with fabulous food. From the beginning to the end, the dishes are delectable. Soups - a wonderful blend of vegetables, meats and spices, sometimes spicy, always smooth. Appetizers - the Crabby Chicken and the stuffed chicken wing are outstanding. Entrees - there is something for everyone. One friend will not order anything except "Rich Man, Poor Man, " a combination of lobster and monkfish. I have tried chicken, steak and fish, and loved them all. Their lunches are especially nice - there is a price fixed option that includes an appetizer, soup or salad and the main dish (sandwich, salad or entree). I am not a fan of macroni and cheese, but will be ordering it the next time I visit at lunch - my friend's serving was that good. The bbq sandwich was also a winner. As one person said after her first bite, "It's like a party in my mouth!" less
