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.

    Beautifully decorated for the holidays! Always a good restaurant for a special night out. If I had one negative comment, it would be that the wooden chairseats are very hard.

    The food was outstanding. We have been coming to The Oaks for dinner about every quarter. The servers are very helpful in selecting the right foods to eat.

    Would be great to have heaters or a fire source for warmth when eating outside. Staff was awesome, just a little slow checking on tables. Wonderful place and we will be going back for sure.

    This is such a beautiful, charming restaurant. Direct views of sunsets off their patio on Chippewa Lake. The service is wonderful. All staff are very friendly. Amber can sure mix delicious cocktails. Anna was our server and she is always perfect in her timing. I think they serve the best calamari with its sweet and spicy sauce. Truly a wonderful birthday celebration. We finished the evening at the bar watching CLE win!

    You are given a choice of vegetable and a “starch.” I ordered vegetable rice w/vegetables—it tasted like sbeef bouillon had been poured over it and veggies were minuscule. The crème brûlée was grainy and runny. The waitress was attentive, concerned and didn’t charge for the crème brûlée.
