It's named for the majestic oaks of nearby Presidio Park, but this Mission Hills eatery is no friend to trees—at least, not the ones that fuel its beast of a wood-burning hearth, through which nearly every item passes. Yet the arboreal sacrifice is a worthy one as Chef Brad Wise puts the flames to good use in his fresh and uncomplicated preparations. Think: French-style halibut with squash blossoms or Southern chicken-fried quail with redeye gravy.
Just don't let the fire fool you—Fort Oak is no log cabin. This historic, former car dealership space is bright and airy, complete with a glamorous horseshoe-shaped bar and sleek, mid-century vibe. Drop in for a casual brunch or happy-hour drink, before splurging on an intimate “chef’s experience” tasting.
