Reviews for Oakwood Club in Dayton, OH
The Oakwood Club used to be our go-to for special occasions, anniversaries etc. for probably 30 years or more. 2 years ago... during COVID we made reservations for our anniversary. They sat us at the last booth by the women?s restroom and the kitchen, we asked for a different table, were told that was all they had. Well, we should?ve left but we didn?t. My usually delicious primerib was tough, I sent it back, we spent our dinner watching people come in and out of the restroom & kitchen, the server wasgreat but we swore we wouldn?t be back. Fast forward 2 years, we decided to try it again. I requested a booth not by therestroom & kitchen, guess what- that?s where they sat us. Yes, we could?ve left, we didn?t. My wife enjoyed her meal, mine notso much. The server came back one time to see how our meal was, once to refill our water. That was it. It seems if you aren?t aregular customer, they could care less if you eat there or not- particularly the maitre?d and hostess. They knowingly put uswhere we asked not to be without even asking if the table was ok. In the past, we?ve had great food, atmosphere & wait staff butthe last few years it?s changed. We won?t be coming back- there are too many other restaurants we can patronize. Read more
Always a great meal. Had the petite surf and turf and it was fixed to perfection. One of the best places in Dayton to get a fine... meal!!! Read more
Dining out doesn?t get any better than this. My husband and I had dinner there while visiting from out of state. It was the best... meal I?ve ever had. Everything-food, service, variety of food options, atmosphere was perfect. Read more
The Oakwood Club always has great food! I love their prime rib. My daughter & her friend both ordered the shrimp & tenderloin... and both really enjoyed their food. The onion straws are always a hit, I shared mine. They take reservations Tues thru Thurs, Ithink. They seated us promptly. Great place. I perfer it over the Pine Club! Read more
Best restaurant in the Dayton area. The ambiance and old school dim lighted look makes for a perfect evening out. Highly... recommend, worth every cent. Read more
Cool place. Ribeye was great. Shrimp cocktail was decent. Server was knowledgeable except when it came to knowing whether an... item was gluten free or not. ?I believe so? doesn?t generate any confidence to a celiac who will go to the hospital if yourbelief is wrong. Cool ambiance. Great food. Friendly staff. What else can you ask for? Read more
Nevermind the legendary steaks, and the melt-in-your-mouth oysters...and all of the scratch-made sides. Let's talk about the... burgers, because they are amazing. I built my own with sauteed onions & mushrooms and Swiss Cheese, and my mouth is wateringjust thinking about how well-made and tasty it was. It cost me a little more than their on-menu burgers, but it was well worthit. I highly recommend The Oakwood Club. Read more
This was our second trip to The Oakwood Club. We were warmly greeted on a busy Saturday night. We were quoted a 1.25 hour wait... and caught a seat at the bar after about 10 minutes. The drinks, atmosphere, ambience?all perfect. A whiskey sour with a littleextra sour, that was quite possibly the best I?ve ever had. For dinner, I tackled the ribeye with crispy hasbrowns and stewedtomatoes. (Don?t skip the bread and salad. The garlic peppercorn may change your life). I paired the steak with the houseCabernet wine that Angela recommended. I was lifted out of my seat after every bite. We don?t treat ourselves often to dininglike this, but I will never chose another place when the opportunity presents itself. The after dinner peanut butter pie waslegendary. I ate too much. But I could not have been happier with my experience. Read more
