About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    My husband and I went to Oaklawn for a date night! Great spot, cozy atmosphere, AMAZING FOOD, very friendly staff! We ordered the artichoke mushrooms, and will most definitely be getting those again! My husband had The Ribeye, perfect medium rare with a great seared crust. Bacon brussel sprouts were crispy and delicious. I had the scallops with risotto and asparagus, all which were fantastic. Finally for dessert we had the chocolate mousse and I couldn’t get enough of it!!! The valet staff were very kind and professional. The hostess took our photo before walking inside, which I loved. We were immediately greeted with smiling faces and a warm welcome. Our server, Gracey, was very knowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and professional. Overall, we had an amazing time dining here and will be back!

    Chilean seabass was perfectly cooked and the redfish good too. TVs aren't loud but annoyed me as they distract my spouse from what could have been a perfect evening. Overall experience very good with excellent service down to the valet.
