Three Oak Steakhouse delivers: big flavor, great service, located in Easton, PA
When you visit the Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, you ask everyone about where to find good food.
Every foodie I’ve met gets a twinkle in their eye when they mention Easton’s Three Oak Steakhouse.
So I was excited to try it.
Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley is growing. And so are the food choices. People are demanding quality, service and ambience.
Does Three Oak Steakhouse hold up to these very high standard?
On a recent visit, I tasted their cocktails, caesar salad, 20 oz dry-aged Kansas City Steak, and a mushroom side dish.
Cuisine
Are the ingredients fresh? Is your plate well-made?
Exceptionally well-done. A wide variety of steak and seafood with high-end side dishes. The cocktails are mixed well. Balanced. The wine list is diverse with mostly traditional choices (Hello California Cab) and a few Old World and enough brave picks that would make a NYC wino grin.
My Caesar was crisp, slightly indulgent with house-made dressing. My 20 oz dry-aged Kansas City Steak was cooked perfectly, seared with a slight crust that provided just enough crunch. The mushrooms were extra juicy and prepared well to compliment my dinner.
Ambience
The setting is steakhouse perfect. Dim lighting. Wood tones. A selection of bar seating, smaller tables (think date night) and large tables for friends or business. The rooftop bar is a pleasant surprise and a fun hangout.
Service
Much like you’d expect from a high-end steakhouse, the service is exceptional. Fast, very knowledgable and helpful without being too “needy”. All the wait staff kept their distance letting you enjoy your time and yet magically arrive just when you need them
The servers, bartenders and wait staff are anticipating your needs and often a few steps ahead of you.
Hospitality
Does the restaurant deliver on the promise it makes to their customer?
Absolutely yes. Three Oak Steakhouse offers you an incredible night of excellent food and drink in a dramatic, cozy setting, with service that arrives just when you need them.
I can understand the smiles and starry eyes after my first visit. Three Oak Steakhouse is helping Easton and the Lehigh Valley establish themselves as an East Coast foodie destination.

Lehigh Invaded with Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is debuting scary-good whiskies this fall, with its first fall spiced Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon and the ability to customize your own whiskey for your Halloween festivities through its J. Mattingly 1845 craft your bottle program.
Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon is a play on the brand’s Bourbon 30 Bourbon brand and this limited-edition release was created for the Halloween season.
Bourbon 31 is a blend of three whiskies which have all undergone J. Mattingly 1845’s Double Staving™ process and the blend consists of 51 percent Bourbon, 29 percent Light Whiskey and 20 percent Rye Whiskey. Double Staving is a proprietary process used by J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery that gives the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color.
The Double Staved Classic Bourbon used in this blend has just scored a 96 from famed Whiskey Bible author Jim Murray.
The Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon was created by J. Mattingly 1845’s team of expert blenders to reflect the flavors typically associated with fall. “When we blended these three whiskies, we were looking for a flavor profile that reflects flavors typically associated with fall, such as pumpkin and cinnamon while matching the light-hearted fun we’re having by changing the brand name from Bourbon 30 to Bourbon 31 to celebrate the Halloween season,” said Harry Richart, president, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery.
Tasting notes for this bourbon describe it as having a nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and walnut, with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and fall baking spices on the palate. On the finish, pumpkin bread, baker’s chocolate and seasoned oak are prevalent.
Bourbon 31 is available online and at the J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Suggested retail pricing is $60 for a 750 mL and it is 98 proof.
J. Mattingly 1845 Custom Whiskey Program is the “Choose Your Own Adventure” of the whiskey world by allowing the buyer to choose between double staved™ bourbon, light whiskey or rye whiskey recipes, select their bottle shape, customize their own label, and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow! This program is available online and in person at the Distillery and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors. Imagine expressing your innermost devilish (or angelic) thoughts on the bourbon bottle you give your favorite boo.
Pricing for the custom bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle and shipping is available to 46 states.
About J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery

It all started in 1845, with John Graves Mattingly’s first distillery in Marion County, Kentucky, Registered Distillery #2.
In 2010 Jeff Mattingly took up the family mantle and started his own craft bourbon business. Today, Jeff’s son Cameron has joined the team as Vice President of Production, continuing the legacy into the latest generation for J. Mattingly Distillery 1845 in Frankfort, Kentucky.
