So on the outside the place looks pretty mundane. But as he walked in the front door, it’s a whole different experience. The place is really awesome inside. We had a great view of the lake and even though it was all frozen and cold and leafless, it was a great Setting. But the inside of this restaurant is very very cool. The food was very good as well. The only thing? The potatoes could’ve been seasoned but or nicely done regardless. Crabcake and the salmon Benedict were good. We’ll definitely be back for dinner sometime.

When I say this is a beautiful place to dine at, I mean it. I live for dining out at restaurants that offer a great view, great food and great beverages. When we selected to go to this restaurant I did not know what we were signing up for. But immediately after reaching the restaurant, I started capturing pictures of every corner. Everything looked so serene and peaceful. And when we did end up getting our table, our order was taken care of immediately. The food was amazing and the quantities were large. We absolutely enjoyed our time there and I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who searches for good food and good views. Kudos to the owners of this restaurant. Everything is gorgeous and amazing service.

My husband and I had a nice first experience at Oaks Lakeside for dinner last night! Although it was a rainy evening out half of our visit, the venue was pretty and welcoming. My husband loved his Blossom Salad, Pork Chop with cherries and asparagus. My French Onion soup was tasty and the Bang Bang Shrimp Skewers were very spicy, but still good. We look forward to another visit there this summer!

I could go on and on about my love for The Oaks. We come here often and it never disappoints! The food selection has something for every taste and each dish is executed to perfection. Love the drink menu as well! I always look forward to my next visit. The Mother's Day Brunch this year was also so special and beautifully decorated.

Our first time here to this hidden little gem!! Wow. We loved it. It's tucked away right on the water. The sunset from the dining room where we sat was breathtaking. The food was fantastic. We both had the pork chop. It was cooked perfectly. Juicy throughout. Excellent service. Such a cute place. Can't wait to go back and sit out on the patio that overlooks the water! I highly recommend! We will be back!

And again! This visit they had new items on the menu. The shrimp and crab cake macaroni and cheese was delicious. I had enough for three meals! As always, the in house made cheesecake was the best! We sat on the patio and it was beautiful. See the pics. Update: we went for New Year's Eve. They had a special menu and some fun surprises. Free champagne and some free appetizers (Salmon puffs and oyster shots!). The food was delicious and our waitress was above and beyond. They now have an in house baker for desserts and the chocolate cheesecake was amazing! Previous: Outstanding food and awesome environment. We love going there.
