The Oaks Lakeside Restaurant at 5878 Longacre Lane, Chippewa Lake, Ohio.

One of my favorite places to go to especially when the school year is over. That's how I celebrate the end of the semester every spring. They have a wonderful selection on their menu of meats, pasta, fish, along with a wide variety of appetizers, sides, wines and desserts. It is a classic style restaurant and once you enter through there large brass door, you'll find yourself in a dining room with a wall of windows that overlook the Chippewa Lake, some beautiful gardens and grounds that you could walk through before or after dinner, and a large gazebo where you cab sit in the evening and just look out on the lake or reflect on the gorgeous view of that particular facade of the restaurant. The servers there are extremely courteous and very well informed of the menu and the feeling you get there from staff and hostesses is that you are truly welcomed to a very comfortable and lovely location. They also have a full-time bar within their restaurant and party rooms to hold everything from weddings to anniversaries, to proms, to retirements and graduations. It is truly a very charming place to spend an evening or celebrate an occasion. But be sure you make time to walk out in back and look at the grounds and take a picture of someone you love at the gazebo overlooking the lake. I guarantee it's a place you will remember and visit again.
