Wood Tavern Menu (Update 2025)

Introducing the menu at Wood Tavern, a New American restaurant in Oakland, CA. Known for its delicious dishes and cozy atmosphere, this place offers a range of options for all types of diners. From the best pork chop in town to tantalizing risotto and juicy ribeye steaks, every dish bursts with flavor and is made with fresh ingredients. While the food quality is outstanding, the service may lack warmth, but it's efficient nonetheless. The Butcher's block for starters, ribeye steak for the main course, and citrus cheesecake for dessert are all must-try items. The bartender Wesley is highly recommended for his excellent service. While the prices may be on the higher side, the quality of the food justifies it. Overall, Wood Tavern is a great choice for a delightful dining experience.
