About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
Oaklawn Southern Dining offers chef inspired dishes, in a unique urban elegant atmosphere! We're minutes away from the popular Paris Landing State Park, and Land Between the Lakes. Our food has flavors from across the nation, featuring some of your well sought after prime steaks and seafood! We are intentional about dining and hospitality, and your whole evening experience from a girls night out, golf outing, date night, anniversary, and of course, helping you take the edge off with one of our Paris inspired crafted cocktails or maybe one of our many bourbons! We did not fall short from an excellent wine or champagne list for you to choose from to compliment your meal or special evening! We also think you will love the view from the old Oaklawn Home, built in 1954, but "remade" with dining and hospitality in mind. Finally, we've added complimentary valet parking with you in mind! Reservations are highly recommended! See you soon.

    I’ve been to Oaklawn a handful of times for both business and pleasure, with great experiences each time. From drinks, to food, to service, they do it right. Today, I had an important business meeting, and brought the group to Oaklawn. From the time we pulled up to the valet, to the moment the valet pulled up to us, the staff stood out. Welcoming smiles all around. The volume was at a level that we could all hear each other, which was obviously important. As usual, appetizers, food, and drink were top notch. The group was overall quite impressed with their experience, and are looking forward to their next visit. Thank you to Oaklawn & your staff, for a lovely evening. We’ll be back.

    They went above and beyond for our anniversary. From the valet attendant with an umbrella, to happy anniversary plaque on the table, complimentary dessert for us to share, suggesting a photo be taken. The experience was exceptional.
