Description:
OAK LAWN. From starters to desserts, this upscale, iconic restaurant serves practically perfect meals. Salads are exceptional, especially a warm goat cheese version topped with sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. Generous main courses – from a Kobe/Angus filet mignon and a Cowboy Cut rib-eye to salmon and swordfish – never fail to please. The interior features dark woods, soft lighting, and a domed ceiling that showcases a colorful painting of Renaissance balloons. Terrific wines are a boon. |
