Ridiculously expensive and worth every penny. As a college student, it's rare for me to splurge on something like a French bistro (I weep for the loss of affordable Metro) or a fine hotel restaurant, and half the time you end up paying for food that you can't pronounce and won't eat. The Oak Room, despite its luxurious decor, feels downright homey, from the family style side dishes of mashes potatoes, to the (somewhat disappointing) tomato halves that garnish the plate. The tenderloin is the most tender I've had in my life, and the steak au poivre has a great sauce. Focus on the steaks, and skip the underwhelming soups & appetizers. This restaurant is great if you're looking for one special night to impress someone with, and the service was very professional even to a young couple like me and my boyfriend.
Pros: best steak, good service, T accessible
Cons: expensive, unimpressive appetize, a little too cozy?
