| - I'm terrible at writing reviews. I am also terrible at trash talking a restaurant too. I'll keep it short and simple since I do not have the gift of composition or writing.
White Oaks is stuffy. No worries we were dressed up in our polished shoes and dinner jackets. When I say stuffy I mean old folk, upscale retirement resort stuffy. I smelled brut cologne and white diamond perfume the whole time during my dinner.
Other than the scenic nature views outside the dining room window there was nothing romantic about our date night dinner.
Food- Ok this is why I felt compelled to write about WO. We ordered the escargo, ahi tuna, and cheese fondue for starters. The escargo was good and prepared just how we expected it. The ahi tuna was oh so freezer fresh and questionable whether it was frozen and then seared verses thawing the tuna and searing it. The cheese fondue was ok. it would've been better if the bread wasn't stale. The bread served for the fondue was white garbage bread that was so stale it should have been ground and made into bread crumbs. Before our salads arrived a platter of canned pickle relish, applesauce, cottage cheese, and more stale bread with margarine patties were brought to the table. Huh? Cottage cheese? Applesauce? Canned pickle relish? Yes, these items are complimentary. They automatically are served with entrees. No thank you. I don't want a plate of sweet pickle relish from a can (Heinz or no Heinz) and cottage cheese served before my dinner. I would much rather prefer non stale bread and butter or olive oil or whatever. The whole cottage cheese, applesauce, and relish should have been our cue to get the hell out of White Oaks and revisit fifty years later when we have dentures and bifocals. Salads arrived. We both upgraded our salads to the ceasar salad instead of the house salad that automatically comes with dinner. How do you mess up a ceasar salad? Easy! You chop up romaine lettuce, spoon some canned ceasar dressing on it, and garnish it with powdered parmesian cheese, and store bought croutons. Yuck! Entrees arrived. Again, we both ordered the same entree. Rack of lamb (34$). It was perfectly cooked medium rare and seasoned appropriately. Enough said. My potato choice was a mashed. J had a baked potato choice. The vegetable was zucchini and red peppers.
Libiations- don't expect any boutique wines or crafted cocktails. Most of the wines by the bottle are the same you find at gas stations or convenience stores. There was no Veuve champagne available by the bottle and nothing in $90 price range for reds. We just ended up drinking multiple Maker's mark and bottle beer. Speaking of beer. Don't expect a crafted selection either.
Never ever ever go to White Oaks $280 for two people. We were so sorry we didn't make the trip to Chez or Ken Stewarts, or Lola, or even Hyde frickin Park for a fancy night out. Uggh so frustrating
