A converted car dealership in Mission Hills that traded showroom gloss for a horseshoe bar and a live-fire kitchen. Fort Oak is an upscale steakhouse that leans hard into the flames, with a mid-century room bright enough to undercut any wood-smoke mystique. The menu is built for sharing, moving from raw seafood to grilled cuts, with the heritage pork chop making a strong case for the grill over the range. The apple crisp arrives in a cast-iron skillet, which feels earned rather than theatrical.
