7. Oakwood Club

Amazing!
Service at Oakwood Club is sometimes perfect--and sometimes less than perfect. In these tough economic times, service should always be perfect.

If possible I wouldn't give the Oakwood Club any stars. Our experience there was the second worst experience I have ever had at a restuarant. We made reservations for March 14, 2009 for a party of six. The reservations were made more than 4 days in advance. When we arrived at the restaurant we were told that they didn't have our reservation. We showed the hostess our cell phone where we had called in our reservation. She said she was sorry there was nothing they could do about it. Essentially she kicked us out of the restaurant. She admitted it was their mistake but offered no explanaion and did nothing, I want to emphasize nothing, to try and accomodate us. We were shown the door. The Oakwood Club boosts it has "...one goal - to provide the finest quality service and food to our customers...". I can only say it falls far short of its mark.

Best restaurant in Dayton. Great appetizers. They have the best seafood in town.....they alway s have a bout 3 fresh fish specials a day in addition to the regular menu. The steaks are delicious. Best food for the money!

Hands down, Oakwood Club is the most consistent restaurant in Dayton. It has withstood the test of time and continues to deliver on excellent food and outstanding service. They have a fantastic bar staff that make the most delicious Cosmos! For those of you who don't like the fact they don't take reservations - don't worry, there's a bar!

Hands down, best experience in Dayton. My family and friends won't go anywhere else in town because we have the best drinks, the best meals, and the best experience everytime we go to Oakwood Club. My family and group I always go with have nicknamed it just "The Club" because of the experience, which we usually talk about in the days following dining. We would go there every weekend if we could. Best restaurant in Dayton. Can't go wrong with a medium-rare filet with stewed tomatos and garlic mashed potatos, salad, and bread...not to mention martinis, cocktails and wine hours!

I think it's appalling they only accept reservations on Friday and Saturday evenings for parties of 5 or more. This policy should be changed immediately.

I am from Cincinnati and when we want steak, we head towards the Oakwood Club. Excellent value and quality is better than most expensive steak houses.
