Ripon Restaurants

We come back a couple times a year or two that side of the state just for this restaurant. The ambience. We’ve always had great service from the staff. We celebrated two birthdays tonight. The waiter went out of his way to make it a very special night for us and we appreciate that! At some point once the night time lights came on outside there’s a flood light that Cheyenne straight into the restaurant that you really cannot escape and it’s very annoying to the patrons in the restaurant because everybody has to shift around their table or move tables because it’s so bright. I would hope that there must be a way to Move that light at least while the restaurant is open for dinner and then turn it back on again afterwards.

It was delicious. Worth the price. Our server, (Willow B), was excellent very attentive to our needs kept table clear drinks filled and kept checking on us!!

We chose to eat at Oakwood because Green Lake is halfway between us and another couple. As a resort town, Green Lake is quiet during the winter so the restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday night. We ordered shrimp havarti and potato skins for appetizers, and ribeyes, beef bourguignon, and gnocchi as entrees. The shrimp havarti was delicious and the steaks were large and cooked perfectly. The only complaint is that the potato skins were just that: potato skins, like large not quite done potato chips. We expected them to have toppings like cheese but there was nothing on them.

Food is always great here. Prices are in the higher range, but the food and beverages compensate!

My mother and I dined here on Easter and we had a most magnificent time! Our server Marty was wonderful, caring, and humorous. Thank you for his service. I noticed that this Red Lobster could use a makeover. The carpet looks worn and dirty, and the bench we were sitting had torn fabric. Also, the dust on the ledges was quite noticeable.
