About the restaurant

Oaklawn Southern Dining offers chef inspired dishes, in a unique urban elegant atmosphere! We're minutes away from the popular Paris Landing State Park, and Land Between the Lakes. Our food has flavors from across the nation, featuring some of your well sought after prime steaks and seafood! We are intentional about dining and hospitality, and your whole evening experience from a girls night out, golf outing, date night, anniversary, and of course, helping you take the edge off with one of our Paris inspired crafted cocktails or maybe one of our many bourbons! We did not fall short from an excellent wine or champagne list for you to choose from to compliment your meal or special evening! We also think you will love the view from the old Oaklawn Home, built in 1954, but "remade" with dining and hospitality in mind. Finally, we've added complimentary valet parking with you in mind! Reservations are highly recommended! See you soon.

Such a lovely dinner celebrating our anniversary. We had wonderful customer service from the time we walked in the front door to the time we left. Each flight we chose was delectable! We did the seafood flight for appetizer, soup flight, chef’s choice for the summer, and the old-fashioned dessert flight. Does she crab soup that was the soup for the day was tantalizing such a wonderful evening.
