Bistro at the Oaks

For a memorable culinary experience join us for lunch at The Bistro at The Oaks, a contemporary restaurant featuring affordable bistro cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. All items are prepared on site. The menu changes weekly and menu items are seasonally influenced and created using fresh ingredients from local suppliers. Lunch patrons will select from one of two daily entrees, select a side salad or soup, enjoy our freshly baked bread and indulge in a complementary petite-dessert all for one inclusive price.

The Bistro at The Oaks is a part of the Hall County"s Lanier Charter Career Academy (LCCA), a new state of the art Teaching, Culinary Arts, Hospitality and Conference facility. Students receive real-life experience and insight into opportunities available to them in the food service and hospitality industry. The bistro is staffed by the culinary and hospitality students of LCCA under the management of Instructor/Chef Dara Lavallee.

"This was our first time at the Bistro. We had heard wonderful things about it and were not disappointed in our food. Our reservation was at 11:45. Everything went well until we had finished our entree. Our servers had vanished. There were three servers in the dining room and they all seemed to be waiting on other tables. No one checked on us to see if we needed anything. After quite a long wait I finally flagged down a young man man at the register. He removed our plates and someone brought us dessert. She sat the dessert down and walked away without any comment. I had to call them back to ask for coffee for two of our party. No one ever came back to ask if we needed more coffee or anything else. I would have loved a second glass of water,"

"As always, Chef Dara Lavallee, Chef Hester, and all of the students put on a great spread. Everything was absolutely wonderful!!! A definite hidden gem - too bad they are not open year round - only during the school year!!!"

"Always professional and always done in a top notch manner. The students at the school are learning so much about how the world operates by being able to be a part of this element of life. The care and effort put into my meal and experience is always better than I could have hoped to have."
