Seasoned Oak 

Perched on the 3rd floor of the Culinary Studies Institute at Oakland Community College, Seasoned Oak offers guests a one-of-a-kind dining experience with stunning views of downtown Royal Oak. This student-operated venue is both a teaching space and a dining destination, where OCC Culinary Arts students craft and serve dishes under the guidance of professional chef instructors. 

Guests can enjoy two unique dining experiences throughout the semester: a Fine Dining Experience and the Market Kitchen. Both are reservation-only and showcase the exceptional skills of our students. 

Please pay close attention to our hours and dates of operation as these change regularly.
