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.

Maybe one of the worst meals ever. An hour and half wait and the food was low grade. Asked for bread and they said they ran out. They need serious help in the kitchen. The rest of the staff was great.

Went to The Oaks for Sunday Brunch for my daughters Birthday. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Our server was very nice and efficient and even though it was a rainy day, the view of the lake and the ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful.

Reservation for 5:30. No hostess. Waited 10 minutes and went to find someone to seat us. Waitress brought menus and water and didn't come back for another 15 minutes. Waited another 15 minutes for the wine to arrive. Waited almost an hour and a half for our food. Only saw the waitress about 3 times. She said they had a big party in the other room, not my problem. When the food finally came, the chicken breast was sliced in strips and some of the strips were undercooked. The table next to us sent their undercooked food back as well. When you wait that long for your meal, it should at least be cooked. Overall the food was decent, but I would not recommend the restaurant.

The shrimp appetizer was fantastic - but spicy. The charcuterie board was massive - could feed 4 people. Love the white French salad dressing. We got a steak with no steak knife - the steak was getting cold by the time it arrived
