Voted Best Romantic Restaurant by CityVoters, White Oaks Restaurant has wooed patrons since 1928 with an upscale menu dished out in an elegant wood-paneled dining room. Warm up palates with the apple onion soup grantinee, slowly simmered spanish onions and red-delicious apples performing circus acts under a tent of golden-browned mozzarella ($5.25).
Carnivorous canines can chomp the steak au poivre, a pan-seared New York strip lathered in cognac and green peppercorn demi-glace ($31.95), or the New Zealand rack of lamb ($32.95) marinated in apple teriyaki. Fresh seafood selections such as the seared yellowfin tuna, flanked by wasabi crème fraîche and pickled ginger ($25.95), splash coyly before diving into wide-open mouths. Ice-cream-laden noshes dominate the dessert menu, with the crème de menthe parfait ($5.50) arm wrestling with the Tollhouse pie à la mode ($6) for the right to freeze over lingering hungers.
Peckish patrons feast in a dining room that boasts a lavish windowed wall that continuously unfolds a wooded, stream-laden view before their eyes. During chilly months, White Oaks Restaurant's six wood-burning fireplaces keep toes warmer than a baby in a fleece tuxedo.
Need To Know Info
About White Oaks Restaurant
White Oaks Restaurant began business in 1928, but its doors wouldn’t open until staff had spied visitors through a peephole, creating an aura of mystery that’s never quite left this fine-dining establishment. Proudly touting its history as a hotspot for imported booze and high-stakes gambling during the Prohibition era, the restaurant—voted Cleveland's best romantic restaurant by viewers of Fox 8 for the seventh time—now celebrates the legalization of spirits with a towering wine rack and solid-gold bust of Johnnie Walker. Six wood-burning fireplaces cast their crimson glow off plates piled with high-end American cuisine, from succulent seafood to creative game dishes such as venison. Elegant wood paneling spans the lodge-like dining room, where a glass wall on the east end overlooks an arboreal wonderland and burbling creek.
