Seafood will be a popular choice on the new menu. Among the appetizers is seared togarashi ahi tuna on a fried rice cake with micro greens and wasabi butter. Baker also made it a point to select calamari steaks, rather than the tentacles or tubes, which are fried and served with a garlic, asiago, chives and chile cilantro sauce.
The entrees include barbecue salmon, crisp black cod and a brined pork chop (with housemade applesauce, roasted root vegetables and a cherry balsamic). Customers might expect a new menu in mid-to-late November. The menu
isn't the only change to the hotel's restaurant. The Oak Room was
redone in March and now features a chef's table that seats 10 and is
available for semi-private dining.
On Thursday, Chef Baker shares his recipe for spicy grilled prawns
-- a version of the offering on the current menu, but suitable for
cooking at home.

He didn't last long, I think the Chef de' Cuisines at the Oak Room last at the most 3 months, maybe!? Their last Chef lasted 8 months, the longest Chef de' Cuisine to work under Chef Chris Hall. The Intercontinental needs to look at replacing him! If no one can stay at the job because of the constant harassment, both physical and emotional abuse, and when your entire kitchen staff does not respect or like the Executive Chef, that is an issue. You need a team to run a kitchen, not someone calling you fat, lazy, worthless etc. The food quality will go down once again now that he is solo. I mean quality food starts fresh not frozen! Good luck Intercontinental! You need it, especially the HR group, when you have complaint after complaint on a single person, and physical violence you ignore, OPEN YOUR EYES, or do your job. You are smart enough to know where the problem lies! Chef Chris Hall needs to learn how to treat people with respect and maybe take some more cooking classes if you want the Oak Room to survive!
I've been there and he was the Chef on duty. The food was WONDERFUL and I will be a customer again! Keep up the great work!
