    Well stocked bar

    We had a wonderful breakfast with Dawn a few weeks ago. I loved the tastefully landscaped and decorated environment, and of course, the Lake Chatuge view. It was mid-week and off-season, and Dawn served as hostess, server, and chef to create an enjoyable experience. We ordered The Oaks breakfast and everything was cooked to perfection and came out very quickly. The coffee was much needed and delicious. We will be back to see the incredibly kind, entertaining, and hardworking Dawn!

    Great service, nice ambiance and delicious food. Stayed at The Ridges on November 4th, 2025 and walked over to the Oaks Lakeside for a bite. We ordered a Caesar salad with Chicken, a Wedge salad with Salmon and a side of grilled asparagus. Everything was fantastic, the low light mood was a really nice vibe, and Danielle was an excellent server. She was very attentive and timely. We will definitely dine here on our next visit. Also, I LOVE the chandeliers in this place.

    Overall good meal. We started with a wedge and the green goddess dressing was delicious. The lemon chicken was yummy, but I prefer a less thick noodle. My guest enjoyed the blackened redfish.

    Staying in Hiawassee for work and tried out the Oaks Lakeside kitchen. First of all the restaurant is beautiful. The atmosphere is great. Second of all the food is amazing. Pork belly bites were perfect. I don't understand how a place in the mountains of Georgia can have the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. The service was also outstanding. This is a great little gem in the mountains of northern Georgia. Highly recommend. The only negative thing I can say is my table top was a little wobbly.

    The best Tiramisu I've ever had. Like litteraly to die for and it's all made in house.

    Our server was Lisa and she was the sweetest! So kind and checked in on us, she was just overall amazing, it made the experience so much better! The food was absolutely amazing. Tiramisu was bomb, litteraly the best I've ever had. Overall 110% amazing! It was also pretty fancy so you can definitely dress up!

    The brunch is amazing! Definitely will go back again! The service is fantastic and pleasant! The jazz music gives a comfortable atmosphere.

    fairly nice looking facility; Sunday brunch 11:30, only 2 couples there as we arrived. Checked their buffet, pitiful, minimal selection, best comparison a hotel breakfast. Ordered off the menu eggs Benedict for me scrambled eggs with crab & dill for my brother. delivered a truly horrible excuse for the benedict untoasted muffin, one egg had no yoke & both had raw uncooked white as to pool on the plate after cutting open. waitress did offer to have it remade but we had an appointment for golf & the time it took for the first one did not add up. Never saw the "manager" but waitress said he had it removed that and the fact my brother said his was good gets a 2

    Im so grateful for yelp , came to young harris town for a one night stay in the brasstown resort and looked for a nice restaurant to have a romantic dinner at and this place did not disappoint. Food was absolutely delicious! The music ambiance was super delightful and drinks were delicious! The view and restaurant itself is stunning! I would come back running to this place if i ever have the chance ! Service was spot on ! Worth every penny ! If you are in the area i highly recommend this pleasant spot!

    Great atmosphere for a date or a nice family meal. Southern food with a sprinkle of flair. The food definitely made my mouth happy.

    Very cool place. shh it's a secret. It's like you were…read moreinstantly ported back to the 1920's right in the middle of prohibition. A very charming unassuming little boutique store front with some tee shirts and souvenirs when you first walk in. Then you whisper the magic password and the gentleman escorts you through a narrow little doorway, a vestibule and door then opens to a perfectly recreated 1920's prohibition speakeasy. The motif is perfect from vintage art work on the wall to the hanging chandeliers and the big leather couches and chairs all in a very dark lighting. There is one way glass so you can see whoever comes into the store ( police or significant other) but they can't see you! Lol. And you can't leave through the front where you came in. You are guided to the back of the establishment to the back door which lets out into a narrow gangway then to the alley. I think Al Capone himself was going to jump out at me. lol. The bartenders/ mixologists further raise your experience by providing enjoyable banter and well made cocktails. Espresso Martini's and a Donut Raspberry Cheesecake were the drinks and dessert of choice and both were amazing. If you wind up going I suggest for you gals, a flapper dress with the beads and sequins with a cocoon coat and some tee strap heels. Guys your fanciest fedora and some two tone lace up oxfords. Either way you're gonna have a Roaring 20's great time. Let me know if you're interested and I'll tell the password or yiu you have dinner upstairs at The Roof, tell them you want the password for The Door.

    Come to ask a man about a horse…read more Such a cute secret speakeasy! Loved the light up menu, made it very easy to read. Alby, our bartender, was great, gave us little horses with our drinks We had espresso martinis. Interestingly, the coffee beans were served grated on top.
