Went with colleagues, weren't particularly hungry prob due to jet lag, so we ordered soem starters and a side salad to share, then some desserts.Most memorable dish was the potato fish cake, prawn and scallops. Risotto was norm and the walnut goat cheese beetroot salad a bit underwhelming. I had the apple crumble with hot custard, very traditional.It was packed on a Monday. Service was not bad.

Loved this place, fabulous food and a great wine list. An authentic Bistro and we will definitely be back, it's a real gem.

Had a fantastic lunch yesterday with my other half for her birthday. The staff were friendly, attentive, polite and accommodating. The food was amazing. The red wine jus that comes with the beef wellington is stunning and the crème brûlée was delicious. This was our second visit and we’ll definitely be back at some point.

This restaurant has a lovely ambiance and serves French-style food to a high level of quality. I had a very good steak and chips, and my friend had halloumi which I have ordered in the past and was excellent. Very good service.Dietary restrictions: OK level of accommodation for celiac disease (gluten-free).
Delicious food, perfectly presented. Great service!

Charming place near the centre of Cambridge. Food very good indeed - much better than your normal bistro - and the staff and owner were extremely welcoming. Beautifully relaxed and enjoyable evening.

Always delicious. The walled garden in summer is a particularly lovely atmosphere.

It pains me to write this review a bit, but here we go. Recently came here on date night with my wife. We had read about Oak Bistro numerous times so had been excited to try it for at least the last year. We’re both vegetarian, so this review can only speak to their two primary veg dishes listed as a main on their menu. We had the gnocci and eggplant parmigiana. To be totally honest, both were pretty subpar – and we’re American, not from Italy or anything. The eggplant was rubbery and quite undercooked, with an overall taste about 3 stars. Similarly, the gnocci was really mediocre and bland, and there was zero truffle that could be tasted in the dish, despite listing that it was made with black truffle. Perhaps the chef used “truffle powder” rather than real truffles, but you could definitely no truffle and the gnocci was definitely store bought, not home-made (e.g., relatively firm, not soft, and barely seasoned).On the other hand, the dessert was excellent – we had the sticky toffee pudding and I would say it was among the best we’ve had in Cambridge. The wine was also quite good, although the beer menu was severely lacking. Note to owner – why offer 60+ wines and only 3 really bad beers (e.g., Corona, Peroni) – the drinks menu could definitely be improved by offering customers a few decent craft beers. Service was good and the restaurant ambiance was nice, although definitely not fancy given the fairly high prices, especially for the meat dishes.All and all, we felt the food was about 3-3.5 stars (perhaps the meat is better?), but the dessert was excellent. I don't think we would come again.
The back garden is beautiful!
