General

What is “The Oak Reserve”?

“The Oak Reserve” is a restaurant located inside a wine cellar in Crete. Inspired by the Greek custom of «Παρέα», it brings people together at one table to enjoy a feast prepared by the host and share homemade wine. While we present it in a more formal setting, we make sure to keep all the fun!

Do I need a reservation? And how to make one?

Yes, reservation is required. You book online through our reservation page for 1-14 guests. For special inquiries please contact us.

Why do I need to pay online?

You won’t need to pay anything on the spot! The online payment is only to streamline operations and to not worry about payments at the end of the night!

Why is there only one time spot available for each day?

We host only one experience a day so we can give it our full attention & keep things simple!

What is your policy on children?

To keep the experience serene, small children are not allowed in normal reservations. Guests aged 14 and older are welcome to book as adults and enjoy the full menu, along with any beverages they choose. However, children are welcome to join if you book a private event!

I want to book the space privately, for a special occasion.

For any private event up to 25 guests, contact us! We can arrange it any day of the week and small children are allowed.

What type of dishes do you serve?
