With signature cocktails, prime steaks, tantalizing desserts and seasonal specials, your meal at the OAK room & bar at Oaklawn Hot Springs is more than food — it’s a luxurious experience.
When you step into the restaurant from the casino floor, you’ll notice that the decor is a perfect blend of classic and traditional. Hand-rubbed antique brass detailing and textured wallcoverings contrast beautifully with contemporary elements, enveloping a moody vintage parlor.
Begin your exploration of the Southern Low Country inspired menu with a variety of appetizers, from Oak Room Gumbo to New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. You’ve got options on the salad menu as well — keep it light with the Harvest Salad, featuring Brussels sprout leaves and a creole walnut crumble, or indulge in the Oak Room Wedge, topped with crispy-fried Louisiana crawfish, cherry tomatoes, smoked bacon, chinois egg and a cayenne-buttermilk dressing.
The main dishes do not disappoint. Try an elevated classic like the Buttermilk Brined Chicken, a fried chicken breast with chipotle cornbread, chorizo, Carolina gold beans, chili threads, house made pickle relish and smoked bacon dust. Or if you’re craving something unique, try the Lamb and Squash, with bone-in lamb loin chops, butternut squash cream, house-made pappardelle pasta, forest mushroom medley, Peruvian sweet peppers and fresh sage.
Or, choose one of the Oak Room Classic Cuts for daily specials, filet mignon, prime ribeye and more. Treat yourself to indulgent add-ons, like a cold water lobster tail or seared scallops, or make it Oscar with jumbo lump crab and hollandaise. An array of delicious sides complete your plate, from Smoked Three-Cheese Mac to Wild Brandied Mushrooms.
No upscale dining experience is complete without dessert, and you don’t want to miss it here. There’s something on the rotating menu to please every palate, like bread pudding, creme brulee, custard tart and chocolate mousse. Choose a dessert wine, port or cognac, and you’ve got the perfect end to a perfect meal.
The Oaklawn experience is full of luxury, and the OAK room & bar is no exception. Their highly composed plates, depth of flavors, unique cocktails and extensive wine list will keep you coming back for more.
