I have been to the White Oaks many times. I always look forward to going and visiting the view of the creek, the warm, oaky lodge atmosphere and the smoldering fireplace. However, every time I leave, I'm left feeling disappointed and a little ripped off.
The last time, we came with 8 people, and were given a teeny-tiny little vegetable tray big enough to serve two. One teeny-tiny veggie tray for 8 people. We asked for more, and received yet another teeny-tiny veggie tray. We had to beg for bread multiple times, and the service was astronomically slow when the place wasn't even half full. My parents suggest perhaps it was an off night, but for me it was the clincher. The menu is old fashioned and the so are the prices.
This place is beautiful but the last time I was there is likely the last-last time. The food and the service just aren't worth the price tag =(
