About the restaurant

Oaklawn Southern Dining offers chef inspired dishes, in a unique urban elegant atmosphere! We're minutes away from the popular Paris Landing State Park, and Land Between the Lakes. Our food has flavors from across the nation, featuring some of your well sought after prime steaks and seafood! We are intentional about dining and hospitality, and your whole evening experience from a girls night out, golf outing, date night, anniversary, and of course, helping you take the edge off with one of our Paris inspired crafted cocktails or maybe one of our many bourbons! We did not fall short from an excellent wine or champagne list for you to choose from to compliment your meal or special evening! We also think you will love the view from the old Oaklawn Home, built in 1954, but "remade" with dining and hospitality in mind. Finally, we've added complimentary valet parking with you in mind! Reservations are highly recommended! See you soon.

The food was delicious! We went for my husbands birthday. They had him a card, and a dessert. It was quiet in there and a relaxing evening. Will definitely be returning!

Everything was good except one person's steak was not cooked correctly. When the waitress asked how everything was we told her and she took the steak back to finish it. It took 20 minutes to get the steak from medium rare to medium. We found out why when the steak was brought us by a chef who said they cooked an entire new steak. They did not ask us if we wanted to wait that long.
