   This restaurant is exceptional! I am 67 years old and have dined at many restaurants over the years. Dining at Oaklawn is truly an enjoyable experience! I have never felt as welcome and appreciated at any other restaurant!

   From start to finish, flawless execution! The Angel Eggs were irresistible. My husband had the Surf n Turf special with smoked Gouda grits and creamed spinach. I opted for sea bass - which more than delivered! A nice sea bass is on par with the best steak and the chef delivered in every way! Served on a bed of creamy risotto and with a side of simple asparagus. Also if you are looking for craft cocktails: try the strawberry mule! Sweet and tart with a great balance! The service from the valet parking (completely unexpected) to checking out was unbelievable! Run, don’t walk to Oaklawn!

   The staff was friendly and attentive, yet not overbearing at all. They were very accommodating and even switched us to a booth when we arrived and they noticed we had a baby with us. It was our anniversary and we had a sign on our table, menus, and every staff member wished us a happy anniversary. The food came out at a reasonable pace, and was unique. Small menu, but everything was fantastic! Easily the best steak I’ve ever eaten. This is 100% going to be our anniversary spot moving forward.

   Oaklawn never disappoints. The curated menu the friendly and upscale service are amazing. They made my husband feel special with recognizing his birthday and handled us with care. The chef is at the top of his game and the drinks are trendy and well executed.
