She Said: Oak & Fork offers wine bar feel inside Ak-Chin Casino

Mar 26, 2018, 6:47 PM

When you think of a casino, you don’t think of a wine bar. When you think wine bar, you don’t think casino, but Oak & Fork inside the Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel and Casino will make you question everything you thought you knew.

Oak & Fork prides itself on focusing on wine and food pairings and making sure guests have a high-quality dining experience, which is exactly what was delivered.

Featuring local favorite wines and imported selections from across the world, the wine selection will impress everyone. Oak & Fork features wines on tap and an amazing bottle selection, most which were handpicked by the staff.

The food focus is mostly small plates and a charcuterie board that will be in your top favorites. Must gets on the menu included:

  • Burrata: hands down, one of the best burratas, ever.
  • Brussel chips: dusted with truffle and crispy capers, these are a must get.
  • Margherita flatbread: so simple and so delicious.

Other favorites enjoyed at the table included the scampi flatbread and the lobster crab dip.

This was an unexpected gem in Maricopa. I have dined at other casino restaurants and was not expecting for this wine bar to be any different than your typical casino eatery.

Next time you are looking for a perfect wine bar experience, head to Oak & Fork. It’s a safe bet.
