Had high hopes based on the looks of the place, but most important element - the food - was simply not good. Classic example of trying too hard to present the classics as something more elevated.... Too expensive for very mediocre cusine
Fort Oak did an amazing job of converting a former Ford
Fort Oak did an amazing job of converting a former Ford dealership into a cozy and spacious restaurant that can accommodate both large parties and intimate weddings. We loved the private room that they converted for the wedding that we attended. The
Had high hopes but food was only okay.
Fort oak is located on the edge of hillcrest. The restaurant has an outdoor area, bar area and indoor seating area. On a Sunday night the indoor area was pretty loud and dark. Service there is pretty good. They checked in on us quite a bit and our
First timer! It was an amazing experience.
It's a fun, energetic space with a mixed crowd and upbeat music. They have portable heaters if needed on a cold night, and is good for both small and larger parties. For us, we ordered a bunch of different items off of the menu and did it family

Went for a friends birthday dinner & enjoyed absolutely everything. I knew I was going to love it based off the fact that it's the same owner company from cardellino. Their charred broccolini was by far my fav & their sourdough bread *I
Fabulous, spacious restaurant (lots of outdoor seating)
Fabulous, spacious restaurant (lots of outdoor seating) tucked away in the neighborhood. Seats outside were comfortable. Service was fine. A little inattentive, but within normal bounds. Duck was ever so slightly overcooked (for me), but the bean
We came for the Oysters on Happy Hour Monday.
They were the best ever! we really enjoyed them. The ambiance was great, the staff courteous and friendly, the service good. Don't remember our waiter's name, but he had blue nail polish with an impeccable manicure. He was very helpful and
Stunning design incorporating real wood in the ceiling.
We only checked out bar portion of the restaurant leaving us in wow. Luckily, we also grabbed drinks during happy hour - extended hours are much appreciated and offerings are pretty fun. Come check it out when you have a chance!
The drinks and service here was really good.
They had a decent happy hour with decent prices. The food however was all really salty. The bean dip I will say was really good and this tasted great. Would get this again. The fries were really crispy and that was good but was salty. I love sa

First time here and it was very good! I was concerned it may be "too creative" but all the flavors really came together and it was executed well. The chicken liver mousse with hushpuppies was outstanding. The charred caulilini was great as

Another great happy hour at Fort Oak! Chicken wings might be the best in San Diego. Grilled oysters and burger are always a hit. Walk in and sit at the bar for a great night!

Oh my goodness!!! The best service and staff.
I couldn't be more proud to take my family here for dinner. Adam the AGM was phenomenal. Always showed up when needed. Love love love this place.
Mixed bag
Fort Oak has a lot going for it: great location w/a cool building and nice indoor and outdoor options. Most importantly, the food and drinks are both excellent; that's undeniable. However, I can't help but feel that it's seriously ove
Popular Dining Destination in Central San Diego
We shared the steamed clams and mussels ($22), tasty shellfish with Spanish chorizo in white wine, and herb butter broth, great for dipping with the grilled bread. The chicken fried quail shared plate is like an upscale Buffalo wings ($23) in a ligh
You can never really go wrong with the Trust restaurant
You can never really go wrong with the Trust restaurant group and Fort Oak is no exception. When you're walk in, you're greeted by a beautiful curved bar with pieces of driftwood suspended from the ceiling. The aesthetics of the place feels very invi
The drinks are great as well as the bar atmosphere.
Why the two star rating: There is a female manager with long brown hair (in a pony tail) that usually roams the restaurant and helps out at the front host podium. For a manager of a restaurant where you're supposed to be welcoming, cordial, and frien

If you're looking to go here for drinks and aps, definitely do it! Slightly pricy drinks but definitely worth it as far as experience and taste go, however, stay away from the entrees here. Had a few different drinks like the Whiskey Sour and Cadilla
Quite possibly one of the best restaurants we have been to.
The pork chop was worth every penny & bite! The appetizer was so good & was an explosions of flavors!! I forgot the name but it was seriously so good! Cocktails were nicely made! And our waiter was just great!! We didn't have a reservation bu

I've seen this building when in Mission Hills a couple of times, but finally went into it to try Fort Oak! We visited on a Monday night and we were surprised by how busy the actual restaurant was. We sat at a bar table and were served the entire nigh
I came for the $1 happy hour oysters with a friend.
I recommend getting there early or making a reservation. My friend and I arrived at 5 pm and didn't account for the wait to get seated and to order the oysters, so we ran out of time to order a second round. This would be perfect for a date night!
Got sick on their oysters during the holidays.
When I notified the restaurant, they were very rude about it.
The food is very good as is the service.
Not sure what the price is because I was hosted but my friend didn't seem concerned. I will go back.
I am pleased that we got to eat here.
The drinks were great and left us feeling nice! Our service was excellent, best service ever by Miguel. If you're fortunate enough to get Miguel then you're in for a treat. He was attentive, pleasant, patient, and kind. He explained the answers to th
First time here for $1 oysters Monday.
Amazing service! We got 3 dozens of oysters, delicious & definitely not the buffet kind. Added the salad, sourdough bread and the fried fish shareable were good as well! Definitely coming back for dinner since everyone raved about their pork chop
Great restaurant.
I love the vibe and feel of Fort Oak. We went here with a reservation on a Saturday night. We got here a little early and sat at the bar for a drink while we waited for friends. The menu wasn't super extensive but the dishes we got were absolutely am

Loved this place, I've been wanting to come here for their treat they share once a week, dollar oysters on Mondays 4-6 at the bar/high tops. Of course I got the oysters, a dozen. They were Mexican oysters (I think and I'm sure we good now) I also had

There's only one negative and that this place is a little spendy . So likely not for the casual outing but great for dates or a bit bougie hang with friends. The food is so good and the presentation and diversity of ingredients and interesting plate

Received a gift card to this restaurant from our friends and enjoyed a very nice dinner and drinks here - the cavatelli was very tasty and all our drinks were solid too. Cool ambiance and quick, friendly service. Honestly would probably not come back

This place was great! Came for the $1 oysters on Mondays; they did not disappoint. The ones served were from Mexico. Very tasty! I had three of their cocktails, all with Mezcal. Bartender knew what he was doing as all three were delicious. Their hotd
Legitimately one of the best pork chops I've ever had.
Pros: Came here as a recommendation from a friend and I'm sure glad we did. Great atmosphere and they helped celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Was so impressed by how delicious the pork chop was. It came sliced which is something you don't se
Excellent and Pricey American Restaurant
The location is beautifully decorated. The bar makes excellent drinks. Service is very professional. The menu has several sharing options to start, and all are delicious. The main courses for the price are a bit meager. Wine list is good however
Awesome Friday night
This place is the most happening spot in SD. A nickey duke must dine....Julio and Cristina blew our mind, freshest drinks and incredible food. Whoever left a 3 or 4 star totally Karen's out. 5 stars all day!

Fort Oak misses the mark for customer experience
My wife and I returned to Fort Oak for another helping when we were looking to celebrate her birthday this past weekend. Reservations secured, we looked forward to a Friday out as a couple, sans young children. Upon arrival we were alerted that the
Great service and quality food.
The cocktail choices were also very impressive in addition to a few off the menu items. Great for a special occasion or random Saturday meal. The oysters were some of the larger ones I've had in the San Diego area, which was an added plus.

Came here on oyster Monday.
Service was great but sorry to say the food was awful. Oysters were tiny and every single one had broken shells in them which was the worst feeling in my teeth. Then I had the gem salad...it was bad, like really bad. The server explained about the &q
Best most consistent restaurant in San Diego.
I've been more times than I can count and the god and service are on point. It's definitely pricy so be prepared for that. The one area they could improve is dessert. Delicious.
I took 9 work colleagues here for a dinner this past Monday.
They were so impressed and would not stop talking about it. They had the greatest time. We ordered seafood towers, bread, broccoli, lamb kefta, and a few other apps I can't remember. All amazing. My fav was the scallop augachile from the tower, and t
Food quality is fantastic and tasty.
Seafood is very fresh! Veggie plate came with very creative taste profile, and most important tasty. Worth the price!
I went here for my birthday in the evening.
I enjoyed the apps the most and the hard cider- very yum. Going with family it's always nice to share bites of unique food which the apps were perfect for. Their food is indeed unique and yummy, I found some dishes to be just slightly too salty for m
Connect with users posting reservations for Fort Oak San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Fort Oak San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Fort Oak San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Fort Oak San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Fort Oak San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Fort Oak San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
