Restaurants near Germania Wet Prairie State Natural Area

Everything was excellent; three of us had the bone in Ribeye with the bone marrow butter and all three steaks were cooked perfectly. Another one of our group had the filet which was also perfect. One had the a spicy shrimp over linguine dish which was also very good. The ONLY slight disappointment was the strawberry schaum torte. It seemed to be tackier/chewier than the last time I had it. It was sticking to my teeth which I don't recall from the first time I ordered it.

The wait was less than 2 minutes. We did reservations weeks in advance. The staff was absolutely amazing. The food was served quick and hot! Everything was 10/10. Will definitely go back.

100% recommend for a special occasion or something with someone special, as it is on the pricier side, however it is far worth the money to spend. I do ALOT of cooking with steaks and this one blew me out of the water so tender juicy and melt in your mouth. The seafood was also incredible and I am someone who is almost always on the fence or dislikes lobster and crabs but not here. That staff was very friendly and helpful. Would go back time and time again

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.
