Oakwood Restaurant and Bar

Treated my Mom and her friends to dinner at the Oakwood Restaurant. The trio could not say enough great things about their dining experience. Tremendous service, great cocktails and elegant dinner. The menu was what lead to the reservation versus other Green Lake restaurants, the result was a spectacular evening for them.

We stayed at the Heidel House resort in Green Lake on an overnight getaway. Eating at Oakwood was an easy choice and one I'm glad we made. Our server Rhonda was amazing and added real value and personality to our dining experience. My filet and my wife's walleye were both exquisite. The view of Green lake from our table made our dining experience complete

Not the greatest food. They had a large table over 20 people which may have affected the service and food quality. Generally lower than expected.

Chris, our server was fantastic. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was excellent. New Year's Eve is always a busy night for the food service industry. Good employees, like Chris, make the evening all worth while. A special thank you to Chris. She made our New Year a special memory.

We looked forward to dining at this restaurant as the culmination of our annual Family December Weekend. The restaurant had few patrons; therefore, service should not have been a problem. Our waiter was Chris. It took longer than usual for the drink orders to get to our table of seven. When they finally came, one beer selection was not available, Chris suggested another, which was agreeable. We were almost finished with our drinks, and the substitute beer still did not come. One person at our table went to the bar to get it. When Chris came to take our entrée orders, I told her that we had to get the beer from the bar. She apologized and said the bartender misunderstood and did not bring it to us. Since when is it the bartender's job? Chris is our waiter. We were served our entrées and Chris informed one of the diners that they were out of brussels sprouts that he ordered. This person was extremely upset and expressed his dissatisfaction. The lack of brussels sprouts should have been brought to our attention immediately when it was known, not when the plate was served. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meals; everything was delicious. To compensate for our displeasure, Chris informed me that 25% would be deducted from each entrée

Spouse and I ate here while staying overnight at the Heidel House. View in daylight was lovely over the water but as the sun set, the restaurant remained fully & brightly lit. We would have preferred dimmer lighting. We had filet and walleye with baked and smashed potatoes. The proteins were delicious but potatoes lacking. The baked potato was reheated and tasted old while the smashed version were cold. The seasonal vegetables were sauteed green beans which were fresh but slightly greasy. Dessert: No mention of gluten free options on the menu via our waitress and absolutely no ice cream (what fine dining restaurant in 2025 doesn't have at very least an ice cream option for the many of us who suffer food sensitivities- esp with ease of storing one or two good ice creams...in the "dairy state?!" ) Our waitress told us she could "maybe get you some bar ice cream?" but didn't make it sound too enticing. This was a somewhat disappointing experience, given the promise of the location overlooking the water and nicely appointed dining room.

Lovely setting. A bit too formal and hotel- like for our comfort. Food was just above average but well presented. Service was great. Table setting was spread out like for a board meeting. Just not the vibe for a warm family gathering.

I had the Firecracker Shrimp as appetizer, Prime Rib as main course and a little bit of my wife’s Key Line Pie as desert. Nice cocktail menu. It was all delicious. Only complain I have was my Prime Rib that I ordered medium rare was medium. Glad to finally have fine dining in the area again. On such a wonderful property.

Amazing food and great service. We were in town on a Tuesday when everything was closed and we were staying at the Heidel House so we gave the restaurant a try and it was AMAZING. Our bartender “super sweetheart but I forgot her name “ and waitress Sandra I believe made this visit A+++++++. Highly recommended

Exceptional dining experience at Oakwood! The food was great with delicious and the service was absolutely top notch - attentive and professional throughout. The ambiance was perfect, and the stunning lake views made for an unforgettable evening. Highly recommend for a special night out!

I think Oakwood restaurant is a well-kept secret. The ambience, food, and quality for the price are exceptional and far exceed the competition in Green Lake. The food is fresh, delicious and well-seasoned. The portions are perfect. The view is gorgeous. It's quiet enough where you can have a nice conversation or take grandma out to dinner without it being overwhelming! Great Job, Heidel House! Don't change a thing!!

We had an enjoyable experience here. It was our first time back since the Heidel House was remodeled, and it's gorgeous! Food and drinks were excellent. Servers were friendly and talkative, which we enjoy. My only suggestion is to offer something complimentary when guests are dining on a special. We were there on my actual birthday and indicated such when booking and told the waitress. We still paid for my dessert.

Beautiful restaurant and views of Green Lake. The service and food were outstanding. Drinks, appetizers, and entrees were delicious. My wife and I highly recommend the Oakwood Restaurant for a terrific meal.

Nice variety of menu selections. All eight of our party thought food was very good. Rhonda our waitress was outstanding!

There were 5 of us. Some had the barramundi, another pasta with mushroom sauce and another the Korean Bbq pork. All were very happy with their meals. Service was great, and you can't beat the ambience.
