The Oak Café is a student-run operation, designed to give students real-world experience in the running of a fine dining restaurant. The service staff consists of students enrolled in the Dining Room Management course, while all kitchen staff are culinary students. 

The menu changes each week and is designed at the beginning of each semester by the faculty to teach students a variety of different preparation techniques and the utilization of the freshest and finest quality ingredients.
