We ordered the 16 oz filet and Brussels sprouts and can't stop thinking about how good it was! Not to mention the blackberry martini... it's what dreams are made of 😍

Entire staff was great. They personalized our table and my wife's menu for her birthday, which was a very nice touch. Absolutely no complaints about service or food - all top notch.

Dining at Oakland Southern Dining is more than just a delicious meal; it is an experience to treasure! The owner and staff go out of their ways to ensure you feel special from the moment you pull into the drive to the moment you leave the restaurant. They call you by name, they are attentive without being overbearing, the food is superb, and the atmosphere is comfortable and intimate. What a delightful place to spend the evening!

The food was excellent and the service was top notch. The Diver scallops were perfect and paired with the brussel sprouts was a great choice. The asparagus with Parmesan paired with the fillet with mushroom sauce was Devine. The wine choice were great. Ending the evening with the bread pudding was also wonderful. The ice cream was firm and drizzled with caramel. We loved the special table with a rose, plaque, and special menu insert. Our water glasses were never empty. Staff checked on us regularly and everyone was extremely nice. Valet parking is also a plus. It was a wonderful experience for our Anniversary.

My son and I were traveling in Western Kentucky and saw the higher reviews of this restaurant, Joe the owner personally set our reservation and waited at the restaurant for us to arrive to greet us, Great conversation with him, And then comes the food, One of the best fillets I have ever eaten, Cooked to perfection, Our sides were the best in the atmosphere was beyond words amazing. Everything was reasonably priced as well, A big thank you to Joe and his entire staff. They even have complementary valet parking

We went for my husband's birthday. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating! Everyone really made us feel welcome. We are from Chicagoland and recently moved to Paducah KY. We are always trying to find that quality of cuisine and have been disappointed. We are so happy we made the hour plus drive to Paris TN to visit this little gem of a bistro! I had Chilean sea bass and he had grouper. Both meals were outstanding and I would definitely recommend this place. The servic, the food, the ambiance were all top notch!

My wife and I have been blessed that some incredible restaurants Across the country and some of the most populated cities, you can imagine. Oaklawn has become our favorite because not only do they have the best food around, but their service is like nothing. We have ever experienced anywhere and it’s not even comparable! They truly seek to serve you and seek to make your experience very positive! From the owner to EVERY staff member we have experienced, they are so welcoming, accommodating, Breaths of fresh air!

When it is time for our date night or about any other excuse, we can think of, we don’t have to think about where we’re going. Oaklawn is it for us!

If you are celebrating birthdays, marriage, anniversy, etc they make it really special!!! I had the best wedding dinner with my husband here. It was beautiful, i cried happy teara aa they did all the little things for us that mattered. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. The food is the best. Service is exceptional. You wont find a better place even for a normal date night out.

Jim Ward

Can’t say enough! This fine dining establishment is so out of place for the high end type venue it is! You would have to go to a major city in the USA or Europe to get something like this. From the appetizers, food , wine or spirits nothing is less than 5 star. Kiddos to Mr. Fain and his trained to perfection staff!

Our first trip was unexpectedly extraordinary. We were wowed by the complimentary valet service, warm welcome from the friendly staff and seated timely at a cozy but elegant table. Service was spectacular from our hot steamy artichoke mushrooms and exquisite ribeye entrĂ©es to the “to die for” cheesecake. Mr Joe was not just present but worked alongside staff to make sure every guests’ needs were met. Definitely the first of many dinner experiences for us at Oaklawn.

We had a wonderful experience For the very beginning at the valet parking until the very end. The service was over the top and everybody was very professional. The waitresses were very attentive, and even Mr. Joe stopped by our table and folded our napkins for us. We enjoyed the artichoke mushrooms along with the ribeye steak, brussels sprouts, and Gouda cheese grits. And of course we had to finish it off with cheesecake and the waffle ice cream sandwich. Thank you to Lacey and the entire staff for An exquisite experience.
