‘Best of Brooklyn 2008′: Located in Brooklyn’s trendy Williamsburg, Oak Wine Bar & Café offers an intimate setting where rustic and fine food come together. Seasonal menus prepared daily using locally made and fresh market ingredients with an emphasis on Romance fare.

NY Mag says:

With seating for only eight pairs and a kitchen smaller than you’d find in a Manhattan apartment, this Mediterranean sliver of a restaurant guarantees an intimate dining experience. Originally conveived as a catering company, Oak only opened to the public in this narrow brick-and-bottle lined space in 2007. The menu highlights local, artisan and organic ingredients while taking inspiration from Spain, Portugal, Germany and France to parallel a European winelist. There are cheese boards and charcuterie plates, a mix and match bruschetta bar (the roasted grapes, shallots and goat cheese makes for a tasty combination), and entrees from stomach-fortifying drunken ribs with greens and mashed potatoes to eclectic fare like chicken rollatini with green beans and couscous. Recommended wine pairings accompany each item, but co-owner/sommelier Paula Maia is eager to field questions from behind the bar. Cliché desserts like crème brulee and flourless chocolate cake are more than well-executed. A fig tree drapes over the outdoor patio for grazing and tippling in warmer weather.
