Oakley Fish House
3036 Madison Road, Oakley
Oakley Square welcomed a deliciously nostalgic addition over the course of the pandemic, taking over the space formerly occupied by long-time eatery Habits Cafe.
Though Oakley Fish House, from the team behind Teak OTR, opened its doors in November, owner Chanaka Delanerolle says it took roughly 14 months to build out the space into their new home. The eatery takes inspiration from Delanerolle’s former Mt. Adams Fish House, which closed about a decade ago. Delanerolle also owned Teak, Longworth’s and Celestial Steakhouse in Mt. Adams, and Aspara in Blue Ash.
