Oaklawn Southern Dining offers chef inspired dishes, in a unique urban elegant atmosphere! We're minutes away from the popular Paris Landing State Park, and Land Between the Lakes. Our food has flavors from across the nation, featuring some of your well sought after prime steaks and seafood! We are intentional about dining and hospitality, and your whole evening experience from a girls night out, golf outing, date night, anniversary, and of course, helping you take the edge off with one of our Paris inspired crafted cocktails or maybe one of our many bourbons! We did not fall short from an excellent wine or champagne list for you to choose from to compliment your meal or special evening! We also think you will love the view from the old Oaklawn Home, built in 1954, but "remade" with dining and hospitality in mind. Finally, we've added complimentary valet parking with you in mind! Reservations are highly recommended! See you soon.

    Another absolutely phenomenal meal. The pimento cheese app was delicious.The filet and red fin was ridiculously good. There’s nothing we’ve found in this area that compares to Oaklawn’s service and quality of food. 15 out of 10

    All the food was great! We had artichoke stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. My wife ate the Chilean Seabass and I had the blackberry whiskey, bourbon, glazed ribeye, and it was all wonderful. We were celebrating a friends 50th wedding anniversary and they did a great job making it a very special night thanks to Joe and all the staff.

    First visit: One of the best meals we’ve had in a while! A party of four and three different entrées with two appetizers and drinks. The whole staff from the complementary valet on drop off and pick up was genuine and hospitable. The owner walked around and checked in with people, we will definitely be back.

    Great overall experience. Joe and his staff never fail to provide excellent service. The wine recommendation was perfect for the meal. I can't recommend this enough.

    This restaurant is exceptional! I am 67 years old and have dined at many restaurants over the years. Dining at Oaklawn is truly an enjoyable experience! I have never felt as welcome and appreciated at any other restaurant!
