About this restaurant

Charming
Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions

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.

Oaks is a lovely spot especially if seated by the windows looking out on the lake or on the patio. Somewhat disappointed in menu choices. Fewer menu choices than I remember with no seafood options like shrimp or scallops. Also no lamb. The Brie appetizer presentation has changed & is not nearly as tasty as the one with preserves served previously served.

After reading the reviews for Valentine’s Day I was hesitant but thought maybe they were ill prepared for the crowd. This wasn’t the case. The service was not good and the food had a home cooked feel to it definitely not the level of food one would expect for the prices. The spices on almost everything were very heavy handed. We won’t be making a return trip.

Easter brunch: inedible food, half of buffet was empty, what food was there was cold. Thr bacon they had was totally raw! If i could post a pic here, i would! Charged $60 plus added tip of $32 even though we didn't order drinks. We left not eating anything. Would never go back and never would recommend.

We picked the Oaks because we went to the Thanksgiving buffet, and it was spectacular. This time, we had a total of 6 guests for Easter, and it was a great value and outstanding food. We would HIGHLY recommend the Oaks.

Our dinner was excellent. I had the blackened mahi mahi dinner, I would have liked a bit more of the pineapple salsa that was around the plate to complement the rice pilaf. The menu right now is between winter and spring. Anna was our server and we love her enthusiasm and service that she always provides. Thank you. The views of Chippewa lake are stunning.
