An Upscale Dining Experience in the North Georgia Mountains
WELCOME TO THE OAKS LAKESIDE KITCHEN
A Farm-to-Table Dining Experience
Conveniently located on the grounds of The Ridges Resort, The Oaks Lakeside Kitchen offers a rich, flavorful experience for all your senses. Lake Chatuge and the Blue Ridge Mountains serve as a tranquil backdrop that is enhanced by a natural, yet manicured landscape – offering colorful gardens and meandering walkways that are perfect for a before or after-dinner stroll. The inviting interior blends wood, brick and ironwork to create a casually elegant atmosphere.
The Oaks Lakeside Kitchen is celebration of the diverse and substantial traditions of American cooking. Remember the enveloping warmth of comfort food and the quintessential experience of eating, drinking, and laughing with friends and family – this is The Oaks.
Our elevated menus are approachable and not pretentious, dramatically presented and artfully plated, featuring Honey Dijon Pork Belly Bites, Whiskey Braised Short Ribs, Skillet Seared Salmon, and of course, mouth-watering filet.
The Oaks Lakeside Kitchen also has an extensive selection of hand-crafted cocktails, craft beer, and an American wine list.

What They’re Saying.
Zero complaints!! Everything was fantastic and we are so thankful The Oaks is back open! We can’t wait to go back again and again!
Love this place. Great atmosphere. Dakota at the bar is superb. Love Marsha, Mariah and Josh as well. Eric, the new manager, was one of our favorites at Marina Station. So glad he’s manning the ship! The shrimp pappardelle and the steaks are 5/5, the wedge is incredible…the best green goddess dressing ever. I am a tough critic. This place is strong.
This is an exceptional restaurant!! The service was superb (Thank you Michelle) and the food was exceptional!! Fresh ingredients used by Chef George and the menu offers a great variety! We will definitely be back !! Top quality dining!
I must say everything tasted wonderful and the service was top shelf! The beef short ribs and filet were mouth watering. your new menu is a completed success! It’s time to put this 5 star dining experience on your list!
Best porkchop I’ve ever had!
My husband and I went to dinner here and I had the best filet I’ve had in years. Tender, cooked perfectly with a wonderful glaze. The service was great, all the staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!
So glad this restaurant has re-opened. The food is outstanding. This is fine dining at a pretty reasonable price! A lot of chatter from happy people.
One of the best meals we’ve had in some time. The oaks have breathed new life into a great facility. We look forward to having a really great place to entertain our friends with. Congratulations on getting open. Keep up the outstanding work!
Absolutely amazing!! STEFFAN thank you! We went for the reopening and the food was fantastic! We had pork belly appetizer and filet and salmon for our entree. Service was close to the best we’ve ever had!
Excellent food and service. Thank you servers Summer and Stefan for two elegant Saturday night meals! The Oaks is a great venue.
We were blown away by the amount of food and service. My husband had the chicken and I had the braised short rib. We are looking forward to going back and trying the shrimp dish and salmon. If you get a chance you should definitely check it out.
Everything we had was delicious, Brussel sprouts, wedge salad, short ribs, and caramel cheesecake.
Staff went out of their way to keep us happy. The manager was delightful. My husband had the filet and loved it, I had the shrimp parpadelle and it was yummy as well. Great news for dining in Hiawassee.
