Only gave it a 3/5 because of management…not the servers or location.
What a beautiful place! We can here for the first time and had such a wonderful evening. Reservations are definitely recommended. Our service was good and the food is a bit pricey , but it was delicious. This was Friday evening, we came back on Sat….again we would have made reservations for their Mothers
Day brunch, BUT on Saturday we got there early and asked if we could sit outside, sure, but we couldn’t sit in the 1st row of tables, they told us they were all reserved. We were there 2 hours and nobody came, before we left, a group came and I asked them how long in advance they had to reserve….they told me they just walked in (!) As pretty as this place is, I will never come back, and this is coming from someone that would have gone three days in a row to this place. And to top it off, my husband went to ask, and the owner was very rude to him. This review has nothing bad to say about the servers, they were all great….management has a lot to learn from them.

it was our 19th anniversary. food was ok, the drink was good. they were out of steak… but the pork chops were amazing, however, mahi mahi had zero flavor. servers were yelling at kids instead of addressing the parents, but ours was kind. her name was Anna & she was super sweet. the view outside was beautiful. but the price for the mediocre food was just too expensive.

My husband and I had a nice first experience at Oaks Lakeside for dinner last night! Although it was a rainy evening out half of our visit, the venue was pretty and welcoming. My husband loved his Blossom Salad, Pork Chop with cherries and asparagus. My French Onion soup was tasty and the Bang Bang Shrimp Skewers were very spicy, but still good. We look forward to another visit there this summer!

Haven’t been here for years, and last time was a great experience and great food. Tonight, not so much; thought I would take my wife out for her 45th birthday to a nice restaurant, and it turned out very disappointing, not sure if they have new ownership or what, but the inside smelled like a funeral home and looked like it too, so we sat outside for dinner and the sunset. Our first table and chairs were covered in ants, we moved tables, and it took the server 15 minutes to take our drink menu, and 15 minutes after we ordered to bring us water. The calamari was clearly previously frozen and reheated; was chewy like rubber bands and had an overly strong fish smell. After waiting for another 15 minutes for our 2nd round of drinks, here comes my Cesar salad; was a complete joke, it was literally a stalk of lettuce with salad dressing; I started feeling like the chef must have lied on their resume at this point. Main course, I felt they couldn’t mess up the NY Strip Steak right? Wrong! It was cooked fine at Medium, but soo much grizzle, must have either been frozen or just a bad cut of meat. Then just waiting to pay the bill took so long, we just got up and walked our bill to the bar and paid there. Overall, $300+ later; this was a very disappointing experience and will not be coming back or recommending this place until it is under new management. Only positive thing I could say about it was the drinks were good, and the view of the lake and sunset were nice.

We came here for Valentine’s Day last year and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience. Because of that, we were hesitant to return but we’re so glad we did. What a turnaround.
This year, the food was excellent and the service was outstanding, even with it being a busy holiday. It was clear they made real improvements, and it showed in every part of the experience.
We truly enjoyed our Valentine’s Day dinner and appreciate the effort the staff put in to make it a great night. We’ll definitely be back.

When I say this is a beautiful place to dine at, I mean it. I live for dining out at restaurants that offer a great view, great food and great beverages. When we selected to go to this restaurant I did not know what we were signing up for. But immediately after reaching the restaurant, I started capturing pictures of every corner. Everything looked so serene and peaceful. And when we did end up getting our table, our order was taken care of immediately. The food was amazing and the quantities were large. We absolutely enjoyed our time there and I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who searches for good food and good views. Kudos to the owners of this restaurant. Everything is gorgeous and amazing service.

Went here for New Years Eve with a party of 6. Prime Rib was listed on the special New Years menu and I love prime rib!! However, when we got here we were told they were not serving it and instead serving a rib steak. Very disappointed as even on December 31 their website and facebook page said prime rib would be served. We were given oysters in some type of sauce and some different appetizers to start off with. Most of us did not eat the oysters and the appetizers were just ok. We were also given a delicious olive tapenade with our roll. We each received 1 roll and you were not able to get more bread at all even if you wanted to pay for it. This was just wrong!! Also you could not get a salad and in the past a salad was served with our meal at the Oaks…so this was surprising. But it looks like this has changed on their menu. Anyway we had a nice table by the window which we requested when making our reservations. I had the rib steak, mashed potatoes and yorkshire pudding. The steak and potatoes were good but the yorkshire pudding was awful. It was hard and tasteless. Two of our friends got the 14 oz grilled pork chop and both said it was very good. My husband got the shrimp scampi with 6 colossal shrimp and bucatini. However he only got 5 shrimp. It was busy and he just did not want to address the issue. He said it was just ok. Another friend got the manicotti crepes and they were not good. They were totally burnt. I felt really bad for her as we all thought she should send them back. But again it was very busy and she did not want to wait for another meal as we had already waited a while. Finally another friend ordered the whitefish with the Maryland style crab cake and said it was very good. The two desserts we ordered were the baked alaska and cheesecake. The cheesecake was good but the baked alaska was just ok and not worth the cost. I do recommend the Oaks Lakeside however, I would not go here again on a busy holiday night. I will wait and go back in the summer where I can sit outside and enjoy the view of the lake. I completely forgot to take the pics of our meal…but did get the appetizers and some of the decorations. Oh and we did get a small glass of champagne with our dinners.

Very Disappointing Experience
Our neighborhood group of eight went to The Oaks in Chippewa Lake for a holiday brunch, and unfortunately the experience was a complete disappointment from start to finish.
Meals came out at different times, with some dishes arriving very late—including a simple $18 salad and a waffle breakfast. My Eggs Benedict was served cold twice. I sent it back both times. On the third attempt, the manager personally brought the dish and stood over me, instructing me to eat it. I tasted it and pushed the plate away, extremely uncomfortable with how the situation was handled.
Things worsened when it came time to pay. Our server took our credit cards and did not return. After waiting over 10 minutes, I had to locate her myself just to get my card back—only to find I had been charged for the cold breakfasts I had sent back twice.
When I questioned this, the manager insisted that I “loved it,” putting words in my mouth instead of addressing the fact that I never received a hot, acceptable meal.
Our entire group left very disappointed. This was not the level of service we expected from such a well-known restaurant. We will be avoiding The Oaks until they get back on their game.

Still the best place around for a wonderful dining experience. The food is always excellent. The outdoor patio has an amazing view of the lake, there is a band on Friday night. The made in house cheese cakes are fabulous.

1st time there is absolutely 5 star. Our waitress Diane was very attentive and had excellent advice on their specials. Got salad and calamari for appetizers. Both were excellent. Filet, Chicken Paprikash, and Mahi Mahi all excellent! Highly recommend will return in summer for the patio.
