oakhouse restaurant
8102 Zircon Dr, Lakewood
Oakhouse Restaurant and Bar is no longer a members-only restaurant. After a remodel this past spring, the restaurant now boasts a bright and open environment with fresh menu options. Located next to the picturesque Oakbrook Golf Course in Lakewood, the redesigned “come as you are” restaurant and bar is a welcoming place for the Lakewood community. RMG Golf Course Management LLC implemented the redesign and complete remodel after the partnership purchased the location in 2011. “We’ve created the perfect location for grabbing a drink with friends or a tasty meal for families,” said Jason Moore, vice president of marketing for RMG. “It’s not just for golfers anymore. Anyone can come and enjoy the view of the golf course while visiting the restaurant.” Inviting interior design updates give diners new reasons to enjoy the scenic views of the golf course from the large windows in the restaurant and bar. The upgrades include polished concrete flooring, new booths and seating arrangements, upgraded lighting, modern finishes and multiple flat-
screen televisions. The kitchen and the menu have also benefited from a new perspective. “Our focus is on fresh ingredients and quality Northwest menu options for any time of the day,” noted Brian Tholen, head chef of the restaurant. “We are especially excited about the full gluten-free menu.” A revamped menu invites visitors to stay and enjoy. It includes burgers, sandwiches, pizza, steak, seafood and pasta entrees. Pacific coho salmon with bacon, spinach and green beans stands out as a favorite showcase pick. A range of gluten-free choices includes Pacific salmon and spaghetti pomodoro, plus gluten-free pasta on the children’s menu. The Oakhouse bar menu has also been expanded to include such libations as the Godiva chocolate orange martini, Oakhouse Rita Spirit or Lakeside Splash. The word is spreading that Oakhouse is the new go-to place in Lakewood for those who seek a well-prepared, varied, modern menu at surprisingly affordable prices! LEAH GROUT
