| - The first time I went to White Oaks was for Valentine's Day this year. Of course, being voted the most romantic restaurant in Cleveland, we could not get a reservation last minute, so we showed up at 5 when they opened and squeezed in at the bar, which is first come, first served.
The atmosphere was everything we'd hoped for. The restaurant has a cozy, cabin-at-the-lake feel with several separate dining rooms, fireplaces throughout, and an entire wall of windows overlooking a creek in the back.
The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. There was not a very extensive beer selection, so we chose to go with martinis, which did not disappoint! The food was amazing, from the bread and relish tray they bring out at the beginning to the filet mignon that was served with a salad and 2 other sides... you could never leave this place hungry.
My boyfriend and I have since gone back and had dinner in the dining room, where we also had a great experience. I would highly recommend White Oaks, especially for a date night or special occasion!
