We had a celebration at Oakley's last night. A pre-bachelorette/bridalshower weekend dinner. The service was wonderful. Steven, our server, not only gave us superb service but had a great sense of humor with us. The food was wonderful. There were assorted dishes tried from the Shrimp corn-dogs for starters, to Duck-Duck, to the filet. In fact, I think each of... more

Was treated to dinner and it was my 5th time to Oakley's. Waiter was not cordial at all. Ordered a $10 glass of wine which looked very skimpy. Questionned waiter on portion and he immediately told me ALL ARE MEASURED. So then I asked "How many ounces" and was told 4 oz. Boy, let's get 6 glasses out of a... more

Food is well-prepared & well-seasoned, but not worth the cost. Tables meant for 2 are too tiny to be useful & they were reluctant to let us sit where we wanted. If you choose to sit outside, you'll be breathing fumes from traffic in/out of the stripmall. Restrooms are clean & nice. Parking is free & ample. For a better... more

This is a restaurant for foodies and one of Indy's most important dining establishments. If you appreciate fine food made with creativity and attention to detail, you should have a meal at Oakleys (but bring your wallet!). Most of my meals here have been truly outstanding, although there has been an occasional misfire (a small price to pay for the... more

We had been going to Oakley's since they opened and were very impressed for an Indiana restaurant. They appeard to have it right...great inovative food, spot on service and competitive prices for high end food. Our last two visits there have shown that this is not the case any more. The food, still good, but has gone very standard fare... more

WE LOVE IT HERE!. The food is fabulous, as is the service and atmosphere. This is a restaurant you could eat it regularly. The chef has a WONDERFUL way with soups--there are always 2-3 available each day and they are fabulous. Sometimes we just go and have soup and salad--a simple meal and affordable. Other times we go for the... more

I travel a lot for both business and pleasure and Oakley's is easily my favorite restaurant. To get the same quality of both food and service, you would usually pay twice as much anywhere else. I eat at Oakley's about once a month and have never had bad food and bad service only once -- which happens everywhere from time... more

Recently had dinner at Oakley's and remembered why even though this restaurant is less than 1 mile from my home I never go there. There are just too many better choices. We were there on a Tuesday when they have their "wine tasting". Sat at a table a few feet away....& when asked for a taste was told all wine... more

This review might be a little biased since we live outside of Chicago where there are some of the best restaurants in the country but overall we were not very impressed with the food and the overall service of Oakley's Bistro. After reading the reviews we were very excited about trying this place but for us it did not live... more

I stumbled on this restaurant (it's in a nondescript strip mall) while in Indy on business. It is incredible. Wonderful menu, excellent presentation and taste, not to mention prompt but unhurried service. Try the meatloaf! I have been able to go back three more times and Oakley's has yet to disappoint. One tip: Get there before 12:30 p.m. for lunch... more
