After 12 years. Sad to see them go. Always thought they punched above their weight and always had a good time when we went.

One of the few legit ‘nicer’ restaurants in Harahan/Elmwood. Real bummed to see this.

Well that sucks we liked that place. Easy and satisfying dinner after a flight home for sure. Respectable pizzas and outstanding pastas

It's a bummer since the Ridge and Harahan don't have a large amount of decent stuff

Their pizzas were fantastic - I'd forget how good they were since they were closed on Sundays.

Sophie's covers the Italian part of things now, but those pizzas aren't easy to replace.

We really liked oak oven through the years. Except that one time the waitress tried to convince me I ordered something else when she got my order wrong. shite happens but dont tell me what I ordered after I been dreaming of what I actually ordered for a week.

This place is always packed to the gills and a tough table to get. I'm not sure financial difficulties are the culprit here. The frutti de mer app is one of my favorites, and the Shrimp and Crab pizza never dissapoints.

This place was a little generic, sure

But also very very solid in kind of a restaurant desert

Will be missed
