Oaklawn Southern Dining

I have eaten all over the entire world, and for American fine dining, this place ranks above places in Vegas, Boston, Sydney, and even SA. The taste of this food is so unique. A+ Highly Recommend. Our waitress was MIA- she was a doll! Joe has this place in a league all of it own. I got the Blackberry Whiskey Ribeye with Smashed Potatoes. The wife had scallops and veg medley. We started with a seafood sampler. The blackberry old fashion was a nice was to relax after a hectic week. Give this place a try! You'll be amazed!

Beginning to end a fantastic experience. We started off at the bar for craft cocktails served by our amazing bartender Dani. Great conversation and drinks. For dinner I had the bone-in blackened ribeye with roasted glazed carrots. The wife had the lamb chops. For dessert I had the bourbon pecan pie and she had the chocolate mousse. The staff attention was top notch down to the free valet parking. The ambiance was relaxing. Joe the owner is a great guy. If you are in the area you need to go!

Celebrated our anniversary at Oaklawn and it was fabulous! The attention to detail was noticeable. The food was outstanding, I had lamb with blackberry sauce and it was delicious, husband had scallops and WOW! What a great experience, I highly recommend!!!!

What an amazing dining gem! We were celebrating birthdays and they provided an extra special experience. The service and food were terrific.

The food was amazing again! Cre'me bru^-le'e was excellent! Definitely recommend this restaurant. Brussel sprouts and sweet potato casserole and cheesy rice...yum! Great to compliment the sea bass! The atmosphere is wonderful and the waitress was very attentive and helpful. Their steaks are aged and dried and come from a local butcher shop.

Went with a group here. Small town but very high-end Valet Parking and Host was gracious. I'm a fan of shrimp and grits and their's did not disappoint. My friends ordered a variety and there were no complaints. My friend and I split the Chocolate cake - the best I ever put in my mouth. Come hungry. Not a cheap place to eat, but worth it.

From the moment you pull into the parking lot for the complimentary valet service, you are greeted with exceptional service from Every. Single. Person. The owner came over to our table to speak to us and was so very kind. I has the best pork chop I've ever had and my wife had the grouper with cheese grits. Both were just so great. The whole experience was as good or better than meals I've had in Nashville or Memphis.

This is certainly not the kind of restaurant you'd expect to find in a small town such as Paris. The restaurant lies in what used to be a single level home. It's been converted to a quaint, modern, beautiful little eatery. We've been here twice now and both times were absolutely fantastic. I had a steak both visits and both were incredible and cooked to perfection. The sides were great, and the service is friendly and welcoming. Dress appeared to be anything between T-shirt and jeans to collared shirt and slacks. Parking is free valet.One of our visits was for a birthday and they went out of their way to make it a very special occasion. Highly recommended.

If you are passing thru definitely recommend stopping in here. Atmosphere and ambiance are top notch and make you feel at home. Food and service were excellent. Worth the money and definitely a great experience.

Last night was a great night for our Supper Club. We visited Oak Lawn Restaurant in Paris. To start with the service was perfect. There was always someone paying attention to our table. The owner visited a few times and was on top of the operation all around. The drinks were perfect though the entire menu was heavy bourbon. I tried the White Russian with touch of Pecan and had a second. The boys enjoyed their bourbon and Old Fashioned.The appetizers were a hit. I ate grits. I hate grits, mainly texture, but the flavor with the New Orleans Shrimp was fantastic. The Fried Green Tomatoes were perfectly done with a nice aioli on them. The Seafood Taster, with scallops were a lot like crab cakes which I don't like but managed to get through one of these little balls of happy. I also had the Crab Soup, which frankly was my favorite part of the meal, it was so smooth and rich. I had the Blackened Redfish, which I'm fanatical about its preparation and this was spot on. I wish it had a little more spice or heat, but it was the best I've had in a long time. Christy said the Grouper Imperial was great with the crab topping taking the dish to the next level. Josh said his filet mignon was the best he'd ever had, and his lobster looked divine. Dan agreed. There was a mix up on Minnie and Kandy's steaks, but I get it, they both got butterflied but Minnie gets hers well done, which probably gave the Chef a stroke and she just plated them wrong. All of the sides were excellent especially the green beans and the luxurious sweet potato casserole, though the garlic mashed potatoes needed a little more flavor.
