Our Story
A Family Tradition Since 2004
Founded by Leon van Zyl, The Oak & Barrel began as a small neighborhood eatery with a simple vision: serve exceptional food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Over two decades, we've grown into one of Midtown's most beloved dining destinations.
Every dish tells a story — from our 28-day dry-aged steaks to our hand-rolled sushi. We believe in quality ingredients, honest cooking, and treating every guest like family.
