The Oaks Restaurant at The Ridges Resort offers relaxing atmosphere and excellent cuisine

The Oaks Restaurant at The Ridges Resort is set in a casual atmosphere while offering world-class cuisine. Chef Darrell Boles, originally from North Carolina, has refined the menu to include lo- cally harvested items, local trout skillfully smoked in-house, fresh seafood, tender cuts of beef, pasta and salads that are local favorites, and a superb menu that caters to all tastes. Chef Boles takes great pride in the homemade soups, salad dressings, sauces and desserts that are created in-house. That great care and pride is evident to those who visit The Oaks. Though living in a small town may feel limiting to some, there is a wide variety of establishments in this area that are worth the visit. The Oaks Restaurant is top of that list.

The level of professionalism and care the staff shows their pa- trons is a testament to the southern values and general working atmo- sphere of The Oaks.

A simple, wholesome children’s menu is now available. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are available upon request.

Chef Boles is La Cordon Bleu trained and is innovative and fresh in his approach to cuisine. Chef Boles is working hard with the staff of The Oaks Restaurant and The Ridges Resort to imple- ment a “Greener” management of The Oaks Restaurant. An organic garden is being prepared for use in the restaurant as well as the use of Brasstown Beef, which is hormone free. All of this falls in line with The Ridges working to protect our community and our environment.
