Oak Room in Boston - anyone?

I am going to the Oak Room this Saturday for dinner and I was
wondering if anyone here had an opinion about it. I've heard mixed
reviews about this place so I am a bit apprehensive about going. Some
say it's perfect, some say it's unreliable, etc. Anyone here have any
advice on what to order, etc?

OoooK. No help.

For posterity I am posting this:

Expensive. 2 drinks at the bar while waiting for our table cost $32.
That's just plain stupid. Sat us in the small side room - not the
main dining room. I didn't like that. Felt isolated from the actual
restaurant. Food was great - chateaubriand cooked perfectly to order.
Deserts were a little off- Baked Alaska was really nothing more than
rock-hard ice cream surrounded by whipped cream. Pre-made, anyone?
Was all right though. I'd go back.
