"Always busy, always dependably delicious, Oak Long Bar + Kitchen, located inside the historic Fairmont Copley, has been serving dinner and martinis to Bostonians for over a century. Once a mens-only club, and also home to a merry-go-round bar (which has sadly been retired since 1978), the Back Bay space keeps the clubby history with coffered ceilings, plaster details, and marble everywhere. You're going to feel very important dining here."
"The burger ($27), topped with smoked bacon, red onion jam, and sharp Vermont cheddar, is a well-executed classic. The side of fries will make you very happy, and you can upgrade to truffle if that's your thing. Squeaky halloumi cheese ($22) is served with enormous bruleed figs and rich molasses, which makes for a starter that we'd eat for dessert"
"Oak's kitchen isn't precious about its wagyu. The beef is served as a mighty cut, served medium-rare over a rich, sweet potato puree with crispy Brussels sprouts ($78) We're almost always going to tell you to sit at the bar when dining at a hotel, but Oak offers something extra special and cozy - seating for two at either end of the bar. Grab a loveseat for two and a martini on a cold winter night."
Oak Long Bar + Kitchen occupies the Fairmont Copley in Back Bay and blends historic, clubby decor with long-standing dining tradition.
