Our homemade Caesar dressing is vegan, made with fresh herbs, citrus, and cashews- it’s on point!! The 🌱vegan🌱 version comes with @rebellyous tenders. 😋 HOT TIP- the Caesar dressing is delicious as a dipping sauce for fries or tenders too!

Check out what the Oak team was up to this week… Jeff (Oak’s owner) set up a CPR class for the staff, and now we are pleased to say that at least one of us on staff at all times is adult/child/infant CPR certified!! As much as we really don’t want anyone to choke or go into cardiac arrest at Oak, we are super excited to have the skills to respond to such an incident! ⛑️

And thanks to Brent from Medic 1 for teaching us this invaluable skill!

☀️☀️☀️ - and we have a large outdoor seating area and a plethora of fabulous cocktails,mocktails, and delicious bites to help you take full advantage of this summer weather! 😎🍹🍔

We 🤍🤍🤍 this cauliflower from @riverrunfarm_sequim !!!

Veggies taste better when they go straight from the farm to your plate! And Oak is always searching for locally grown veggies to serve to you whenever available and possible!

We are using this perfect Cauliflower to make our current share plate special::: “Flower Power Wings” - Tempura battered cauliflower wings with house-made sweet chili sauce 😋

@riverrunfarm_sequim offers their veggies at Farmers Markets in multiple locations in Seattle, so you could also have this lovely cauliflower (or an array of other veggies)! 🥗

Looking for a delicious non-alcoholic beverage? Try Oak’s Shrub, concocted of house-made acidulated fruit syrup with soda! The flavor rotates; right now we are serving a very refreshing and satisfying Blueberry Lime Shrub. And if you were hoping for a more adult beverage, add a shot of vodka or gin to spice things up!

🫐 🍋‍🟩 🫐 🍋‍🟩🫐

SIDENOTE about shrubs - Oak’s shrubs are always of the acidulated fruit type, never the vinegared syrup stuff which is confusingly also called a shrub, but is arguably much less delicious though it claims health benefits. We will stick with the tasty strain of shrub here at Oak. 😛

New Special Dinner Salad! 🥗💚

“Tahini & Spice & Everything Nice”

—Organic baby kale and romaine tossed in house made lemon-tahini dressing. Topped with cucumber, radish, Parmesan, local and organic fried garbanzo beans in curry spice! Vegan version available with house vegan feta!

BIG THANK YOOOUUU to all who bought our fundraiser cocktail “Lovefool” during pride month supporting the cause!!! $938.25 was donated to Trans Women of Color Solidarity Network!! Waahooo!

Big news!! Oak (FINALLY!) has vegan vanilla ice cream!! It has been requested for years, and we have agreed that it would make a lovely addition to our vegan bourbon apple crumble (pictured here next to the vanilla vegan ice creams), or even the vegan chocolate cupcakes or the vegan chocolate chip cookies! However, the hunt for bulk amounts of vegan ice cream within Oak price range allowances has been the real challenge. We finally found a match, and we are SO very excited to share this news with many of our lovely Oak regulars who have waited ever so patiently for us to find it! 🍨 😋

We will be taking the day off on Thursday for the Fourth of July. See you on Friday at 4pm when we open! 🎆

Now on Oak’s Specials Menu - Spicy Southwest Blackened Chicken (OR Blackened Tofu as pictured here! 🌱) Sandwich — Blackened Draper Valley grilled chicken breast with avocado, arugula, tomato, house-made corn salsa, chipotle-garlic aioli and mayo. The Tofu version is vegan!! 💚

Father’s Day Sunday Brunch Special - 6 oz grass-fed Painted Hills Steak fried in Oak’s chicken seasoning covered with sage-sausage gravy. Served with 2 sunny eggs. 😎😋
