    Duck with Rice Pilaf
    Dianne M.

    We had a birthday celebrations for my sister's here on Saturday. What a lovely experience! The service staff was professional and friendly and the atmosphere was classy. We sat by the windows and were able to watch the ducks on the creek and even a wild turkey! The food was outstanding. My sister had the lobster tails, her friend had the duck, my husband had the chicken Marsala and I had the pasta and shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly and very tasty. With crème brûlée for dessert! Perfect evening.

    The legendary, and ancient White Oaks was enjoyed by me and partner on our 20th anniversary. Partner's prime rib - the classic Saturday night special - was cooked perfectly. A great $48 deal including salad and sides, unheard of at steak houses with their "family style" $14 baked potatoes and $16 asparagus. My Delmonico was excellent also. Service is old fashioned and fine. Only problem is the place needs to close down for 2 to 4 weeks, scrub everything down, new carpet and tables and chairs. Bar area is a beautiful throwback.

    Ok, this is my follow up with another review on our 26th anniversary Fantastic meal, we both had the Beef Wellington which is a filet mignon inside of a pastry puff with a moonlight mushroom deme glaze. We had lobster bisque and a bottle of wine Our Server was very pleasant and food came out timely. The ambience is a trip back in time. Add to it the old fashioned decor and beautiful nature view with a large glass windows overlooking a creek/nature type setting. We saw deer, a fox, ducks and many other animals while dining. I'd recommend you check it out, it's worth a drive for a excellent dinner. Our tradition will continue with #27 next year, god willing!

    For twenty years we have been coming to White Oaks for our aniversary and sometimes just because we wanted a really good meal. Oh what just happened? Our meal started off fine with the warm crusty bread and delicious soft garlic chive butter. Our drinks came and I remembered they use to bring a vegetable platter. My husband asked three waiters and it was finally brought out with another tabels. My husband ordered prime rib and I ordered surf & turf. I was told they had no more lobster and when my husband asked to substitute it with shrimp the waiter said " No substitution " buy it could have grilled garlic shrimp as a side dish. The prime rib was small, overcooked and tasteless. Instead of a really baked potato they now have the half cheddar twice baked that comes frozen. Vegetables were still on the raw side. My filet was smothered in demi glaze sauce, and completely inedible. I left it for the garbage. The manager was notified and didn't even bother to come out to talk to us about the food. . My filet was taken off the bill but I would have rather had my meal. The shrimp had a strong fish taste and was $13.99. We noticed a lot of diners had coupons...White Oaks rarely advertised coupons, I wonder if it's because it draws in diners now that the food quality has diminished. So heartbreaking.

    Beef Wellington

    The worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. Server didn't come to our table when we sat down until 15 minutes. My gf ordered the beef Wellington they say they only cook it medium rare. Look at this picture!!!! We ordered an appetizer of fondue and it was an hour before I asked the server where it was and he said "oh I thought that came out already to you" The manager just walked over to our table and stared at us, didn't even say a word. I had to explain our situation and he said he could just make us another one. No thanks, our food took 45 minutes! Gave us some crappy 1/2 off an entree next time we come in. Not good enough b/c I'm never coming back in! I cut my steak in half and split it with my lady, then we paid and left. Atrocious

    Bar/lounge area.

    I love the bar/lounge here. It's old school upscale but still comfortable. The service feels very high end and they are super attentive. Dark wood, cool woods and stream out the back windows. I watched a deer cross the river. Best best best lobster bisque in town!!!!! Great cocktails and clubby style seats in loung. The menu and food I. The restaurant is great too, a little old fashioned. Super place for a romantic night out or just a relaxed cocktail date.

    Husband and I have a tradition of celebrating our anniversary at a popular west-side steakhouse. We love it and my husband waits all year for their special tomahawk steak. The price of that steak went from $88 to $140 in a year and money is a little tighter this year, so we wanted to check out a new, old spot. We had a restaurant.com certificate to White Oaks, so we made a reservation for a Thursday evening. I cant believe I'd never been here before, because this is my kind of place. Old, authentic, full of character and classic charm. My heart fills thinking of all the things that must have been celebrated here over the years- what a rich and treasured history! I love the decorations- 6 fireplaces, wood trim/ panels/ bannisters, antique photos on the walls. We were seated in the looney bin, which is a room at the back overlooking the river. It was lovely. I mean, looney. We started with the baked brie appetizer, which was missing a little something, but I couldn't quite determine what. It was warm and gooey, so that's not so bad, right? Husband ordered a Milky Way cocktail which he really liked. My fresh brewed iced tea hit the spot. They bring a small relish plate of olives, carrots, celery, and cottage cheese. I thought this was strange, but maybe it's an olden day traditional starter? I also ordered a lobster bisque soup. It was to die for. Perfect, flavorful broth. Nice chunks of actual lobster meat. This is one of the best lobster bisques I've had. Very impressive. White Oaks also serves a lovely baked garlic bread. The butter was a little sweet for the bread, but separately they were both satisfying. I ordered the bacon-wrapped filet with a lobster tail. The filet was very nice- seasoned well and cooked exactly how it should be. The lobster tail was a true stand out. It was so plump and fresh and delicious. Really made my day. It was served with a creamy, delicious twice-baked potato and a medley of vegetables. Everything on my plate was superb. Husband ordered the steak au poive, which I was jealous of (he always orders a better steak than me!). The sauce was so good,he was sopping it up with potato. After the certificate we had, we ended up paying a little more than what his tomahawk Waygu would have cost at the other place. I was very pleased with the value, ambiance, and taste. Our server was excellent- we never had to look around for a server or refill. She was a true professional and contributed to us having a fantastic anniversary meal. We can't wait to go back.

    We celebrated a special birthday here on a Tuesday evening around 5:45 PM. It was quite crowded for a Tuesday night (which is a good sign). We requested a table near the windows to enjoy the creek view and was happy we arrived early to be seated at one. It was so very special and nice. Our server was friendly and welcoming. Her nice attitude and professional behavior made our dinner extra special. We ordered the chicken Marsala and lobster bisque soup. All were delicious. The complimentary cottage cheese vegetable plate was a pleasant surprise. The warm bread was tasty and delicious. During the cold winter months I heard they have all of the multiple fire places lit for extra ambiance. I can imagine it's beautiful. The restaurant is in need of some repairs since it's almost over 100 years old. Years & years ago the maitre d' used to greet you in his tuxedo but that era is long gone. Parking can be limited when the restaurant is crowded. I was told that you can order sandwiches if you sit at the bar. We enjoyed our evening and delicious dinners. It was nice to celebrate a special occasion at this legendary restaurant,

    This place always seems to be busy…read more I got an ahi tuna salad ($18.99), which was filling and tasty. The vegetables and slices of tuna were fresh, and the crispy wonton pieces added a nice crunch. I think they went a little overboard with the vinaigrette, but I still happily munched on the salad. I also ordered a sparkling black cherry refresher, which was essentially Topo Chico with black cherry flavor. Refreshing and pleasant enough to drink, but overpriced in my opinion at $6.49, especially since it didn't come with any actual cherries. My server was fantastic. She checked up on me a couple of times and was very friendly.

    We visited this restaurant on a busy Friday night to meet up with some friends. This is an upscale…read morecasual restaurant with an expansive beer menu and food menu. There is something here for everyone and everything is delicious. We tried the poke nachos which had the perfect balanced flavor and was really good. For our meal we tried the Szechuan Beef Noodles which was nice and spicy with crispy beef which tasted like heaven. We also tried the lobster garlic noodles which were outstanding. I really enjoyed Yard House and I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.
