White Oaks Restaurant

Loved the relish tray, bread and twice baked potato included with the meal. Great ambiance and food was very tasty.

We had four 25 year olds in our group that were very impressed with the history and ambiance.

Seems like the portions are getting smaller but the price keeps going up.

Food was delicious. But could have been warmer. It wasn’t cold, but not hot either.

They were loud, obnoxious and after a few drinks, more than intoxicated! After a short while, my wife got us and asked the people at the front desk to re-seat us which they did (she explained why to them). After we were re-seated two other tables got up and did the same thing. Unfortunately, they seated us at a table that was both cold (next to a window) and dark (not well lit), so after the table for 6 left, we asked that we be re-seated (if possible) to our original table. My question is: why didn't management do something about this and why didn't they comp us (at least a token comp)? Neither suggestion here was done. This is why we rated our dining experience a 2!

My husband called ahead for reservations, when we arrived, we were seated immediately. My husband and I sat at our table for over 15 mins before the server came to our table. Once our server came over to us, she got our drink order, explained the specials and then returned. I asked her what entree she preferred out of the two I narrowed it down to, she seemed irritated, answered me, and asked what I would be having . I then chose my entree. My husband on the other hand knew he wanted a ribeye so that's what he ordered. Once the ribeye arrived it was too pink in the middle so he sent it back to be cooked more. When the ribeye was returned to the table the ribeye was so chard that it was not edible in his opinion. My husband notified the waitress that his steak was really chard and she said that's what happens when you send it back. The cooks are unable to tell how cooked it is. So my husband said nothing else and just asked for a box. In the meantime, while all this is going on, we were not offered refills, we had to ask for our own refills. Originally we were not offered bread we had to ask for that also. At the end our waitress brought out our check and never asked if we wanted dessert but the people around us were offered dessert menus and actually got their food before we did even though we were there before them. Once our check was dropped off to the table the waitress noticed that we had our certificate for $25 off restaurant coupon, then was really annoyed and rude. I've never felt like such a bother. I guess that will be the last time we go there. Read more Read less

For some reason we thought that we would receive prompt attention. At least 10 minutes went by before menus were brought to the table. We made our selections and at least another 10 minutes passed before the server returned. (What would it be like if the restaurant were busy?) We settled on the Lobster Bisque for a start. It was AMAZING!!! The warm Parmesan-crusted bread was a lovely complement. Instead of dinners, we opted for a selection of appetizers, all of which were underwhelming. What a disappointment...the Grilled Flatbread, Bacon-wrapped Scallops, and Panko-breaded Shrimp all lacked flavor.(And the Shrimp was over-fried.) Time for the chef to kick it up a notch in our opinions.Had our experience ended with the Bisque and Bread, it would have been wonderful and a 5-star rating would be appropriate.

Beautiful setting: we watched a total of 8 deer and dozens of ducks feed in the riverbed while we ate. The food was fabulous: their rack of lamb is the best I have ever had. You get more than the average restaurant: in addition to the entrée, we were served a relish tray, cottage cheese, a salad, fresh baked bread, vegetable and the house specialty-twice baked potato.
