Restaurants near Fort Donelson National Cemetery

Patti's is not just about the food but more about the experience. The over the top inside decor during the holidays as well as outdoors lighting, seasonal creations, photo ops and the chance to linger will set your mood for the better. Service is stellar and friendly. Food portions are large and flavorful. Expect to pay $20-$50 per entree on the average per person. That is without beverages or desserts. Most people were taking leftovers home with them. Weekends can be very crowded with guests being almost shoulder to shoulder in the gift shop and waiting areas. There are plenty of unique items to choose from in the various gift shops across the property including fudge, candy, pies, homemade breads and Patti's famous Strawberry Butter for sale by the pint jar. Special occasions are acknowledged by the servers with songs and lit candles in the desserts. Not overly showy but pleasant presentation without embarrassment. Be reminded to stroll through the entire restaurant and glance / take photos of the various dining rooms...all with their own theme. Some dining rooms can hold as many as a hundred and for more private affairs...a table for 8 or 12 can be found in their own dining rooms. I encourage you to check Patti's website or Facebook page to review the menu and pricing before you go so you can plan for your budget and visit.

We went here for my son’s birthday as he was visiting for the Holidays from New York. He has a very picky pallet and he was very impressed by the food and wine selections. We had to start, the king crab with a vegetable medley of corn and edamame with a succulent sauce. He had Chilean Sea Bass, his girlfriend had the Salmon and I had the Prime Rib, cooked medium and it was so flavorful it did not need any steak sauce. We also had the fall vegetable medley and asparagus, again, extremely delicious! We topped it off with a bottle of red wine. Meal was satisfying and our waitresses was very attentive.

We went to Oaklawn to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was a perfect event right from the start, from the valet parking, to checking my coat, the hostess and everyone working. The food was wonderful! It’s so nice to have a classy place to go and enjoy a fine dining experience without having to go to the big city. This is a new favorite and we will be back!

Our experience was nothing but excellent & the only noise was our group~ lol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
