I love Lindsey’s!!! We went at 5 pm, which I think is the perfect time because it’s not too busy or loud yet. Everyone in our party enjoyed our time at Lindsey’s. The cocktails are yummy, the food is delicious. And it’s on the river so you get a pretty view too!!

Short ribs were delicious and so was the lobster ravioli and shrimp. The desserts were just so so in that the butter cake was dry and fell apart and it would have been nice if it was slightly warm. The bread pudding was too dense and tasted like a soaked cookie cake would probably try something else next time

About the restaurant

2 hr table reservation time.

1 check for parties 12 and over,

In the late 1800's, the Townsend family came to Chippewa Lake and created the estate that is now The Oaks Lakeside Restaurant. Five prominent oaks that stood in a semi-circle on the front lawn gave the estate its original name: Five Oaks. The estate has operated as a dining establishment and bar since 1961.

The Oaks has become best known for the glorious wedding ceremonies and receptions held exclusively on the property. We are also well known for our traditional Easter, Mother's Day and Thanksgiving Buffets. We take pride in all of our social and business events that we host.

The Oaks offers the finest in al fresco lakeside dining. In the colder months, join us and have a seat next to one of our cozy fires or a lake view table to watch the fall colors or a gentle snow over the lake. No matter what time of year, the sunsets are always incredible. Our seats are often limited, so reservations are advised.

We had the most amazing girls night on Wednesday! Amazing cocktails, Kassandra was super helpful in recommending options and even making us specialty cocktails she was trying out for the menu. Food was excellent and we were able to snag an outside patio seat, which was perfect!
