As such, we will do our best to accommodate these requests, but patio seating will remain first come, first served, and we will not be taking reservations for the patio.

Born out of our love of fine wines and culinary excellence, Village Martini and Wine Bar has become the top hybrid Wine Bar/Restaurant in Chagrin Falls, OH since 2012.

The food and service are consistently excellent at the Martini Bar. We had the Halibut seafood special tonight. This is definitely our favorite meal from Chef Jeff's broad range of offerings. The chocolate-caramel bread pudding finished off a perfect meal. The Martini and Wine Bar sets the standard for fine dining in North East Ohio.

Overall it was good experience. Our servers were great, however the food was okay. I got a cease slas dna d the croutons were stale, it was impossible to chew them. My partner also wasn’t impressed with the food, he got the chicken and mashed potatoes, which were also very mediocre. The drinks were great. Maybe it was just not the best day for the cook, we will go back again.

Food and drinks were great, our server was amazing - I can’t remember her name but she had great recommendations- and whoever was in charge of the music was on point with all the early 2000’s jams. Vibes were right and would absolutely recommend!

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.
