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.

Everything was great, except our waitress. How to ask two or three times for anything we needed and she would disappear constantly.

The Oaks is such a beautiful place to dine. The views are perfect, whether you want the coziness of the inside or the sunsets on the lake. The menu has everything from steak to pasta to seafood. I ordered the pork chop and I can say it's one of the best I've ever tasted. We love The Oaks.

The atmosphere is beautiful for sure. We were able to sit outside and had a lovely view. The food was very good tasting, a little over-priced for what we got. Our service was ok... it seemed like it took a long time for our server to come back and refresh our water, check on us, take our bill, etc. But it was a lovely dinner.

As always, the view and atmosphere of “The Oaks” was amazing. The food always excellent, the waitress must have had too many tables to accommodate. She paid so little attention to our table, that at times I thought she had forgotten about us. We will continue to frequent The Oaks and hope for a different server. I won’t let her inefficiency to turn us off from one of our favorite restaurants. Especially for special occasions. We will return soon.

The ambiance of the Oaks is always wonderful. Went for the brunch and felt the food was just mediocre for what we have experienced at other previous dining experiences at The Oaks. Hopefully it was an off day. Will go back for dinner, but for now will pass on the brunch.
