Restaurants near Atkins Park

We come back a couple times a year or two that side of the state just for this restaurant. The ambience. We’ve always had great service from the staff. We celebrated two birthdays tonight. The waiter went out of his way to make it a very special night for us and we appreciate that! At some point once the night time lights came on outside there’s a flood light that Cheyenne straight into the restaurant that you really cannot escape and it’s very annoying to the patrons in the restaurant because everybody has to shift around their table or move tables because it’s so bright. I would hope that there must be a way to Move that light at least while the restaurant is open for dinner and then turn it back on again afterwards.

It was delicious. Worth the price. Our server, (Willow B), was excellent very attentive to our needs kept table clear drinks filled and kept checking on us!!

We enjoyed a delicious cocktail, shared an arancini appetizer and had the walleye. Our dishes arrived at a good pace, were beautifully served and cooked to perfection. The server was knowledgeable, kind and efficient. After dinner we went to the bar for a bespoke peppermint cocktail, prepared for us by the creative bartender. A delightful evening.

We chose to eat at Oakwood because Green Lake is halfway between us and another couple. As a resort town, Green Lake is quiet during the winter so the restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday night. We ordered shrimp havarti and potato skins for appetizers, and ribeyes, beef bourguignon, and gnocchi as entrees. The shrimp havarti was delicious and the steaks were large and cooked perfectly. The only complaint is that the potato skins were just that: potato skins, like large not quite done potato chips. We expected them to have toppings like cheese but there was nothing on them.

Food is always great here. Prices are in the higher range, but the food and beverages compensate!
