This place is beautiful. We came for Sunday brunch and the food was fantastic and outdoor space was lovely. The set up for brunch was a little crowded inside, and if I had been seated among the brunch service it would have not had been as enjoyable. Outdoor location is perfect.

We meet friends from the Eastside and we came from the west. Perfect place to enjoy great food, drinks were very good and our server was super attentive and knowledgeable. Food was hot and fresh. I had sliders and I am very picky about getting them cooked rare and they were perfect My husband had a huge chicken sandwich. But again the service was excellent

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.
