Funny how time flies – it’s already been five years since OAK Long Bar + Kitchen first opened in the Fairmont Copley Plaza. To celebrate the restaurant’s wood anniversary (is that on brand or what?), on Monday, July 24th, they’re offering a trio of wood-themed specials (a cocktail, entree and dessert) courtesy of executive chef Graham Lockwood and pastry chef Lindsay LeBlanc. For more information or to make a reservation, call 617.585.7222.
