The Oaks - Tehachapi

You left tonight. I had the main rib and it was one of the best ribs I ever had, and that says a lot.

There are pizzas from this world and the best in the state!

Pleasant staff, but my coconut shrimp was over boiled with almost black exterior and my rock fish was returned uneaten as it was much too salty. This was probably a product bought prepared and then heated so that the kitchen was not in control. Dinner ordered by my companion was a steak and it was good.

I ordered the Paprikasalat (fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil) yesterday evening and the cook added a delicious pesto on the page. Heavenly and healthy.

After 23 years of dining at the OTCC I can easily say we have never had a meal that wasn?t top quality. It has always been matched with great service. Since the long awaited reopening this summer, the menu, although limited still puts forth a tasty meal. The service on the other hand needs some brushing up. The staff is and always has been superior, but it is a very young staff. We really miss the mature waiter/waitress attention to detail, the details that make dining a true pleasure. The watchful checking on customers, providing amenities, making sure everything is filled or refilled, salads or appetizers served soon after the meal order is taken, not late where the entree arrives before you have finished, removal of dishes in a timely manner, presentation of the bill. The waiter/waitress/ table staff are what polishes off a great meal and makes you want to return. And no real sugar? Five different kinds of coffee sweetners but not a packet of real sugar in the whole building, come on?
