Scott M was our server. He was knowledgable and guided us from the perfect wine choice to entree. I am still thinking of the halibut a day later. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our experience. My adult son requires assistance due to a brain disorder. He does not appear to need assistance until he is asked a question. Scott was kind and patient without condescension nor did he need an explanation. My faith in humanity and exceptional food has been restored. Thank you

We went to Lakepointe to celebrate a birthday while taking in water views. Lakepoint impressed every step of the way. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, clean, quiet, and had an upscale ambience without the price tag. The staff was extremely welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Service was exceptional and our waitress always ensured our questions were answered and our glasses were full. The food was delicious and we could tell great care went into the menu creation and great pride went into the preparation/execution of the dishes. We could not have been happier with our experience and greatly look forward to return visits.

Food was excellent, as always, from the colossal shrimp cocktail, wedge salad, baked potato, filet mignon and top it off with three desserts for three of us. We got the tiramisu, the multi layer chocolate cake and the pecan pie. I can’t pick a favorite, they were all to die for! The best part, our server and dear friend, Terri!!! I can’t give The Red Oak steakhouse anymore than 5 stars! I would give 1,000,000 if I could. Thanks as always, Stacy, Nan and Jan

Due to not living very close, this was my first visit to what I've called my favorite Arkansas restaurant since the change of ownership and must say: This is still my favorite restaurant in Arkansas. Excellent service and to be specific the crab cakes, lasagna and tiramisu were all the best in their category. Special thanks to our server Angie.

Wife and I had dinner with our son and his wife and it's was a great experience. We'd been to the restaurant for a special event but this was the first time for a regular dinner where we ordered off the menu. The Grouper and Walleye were wonderful as well as the Chicken Fried Steak (the collard greens rocked). The prices are reasonable for the food and while wine was a bit pricy the Emmolo Merlot was delicious with our food. Service was on point and very attentive so we'll for sure be back as we live in NLR and love having this quality of food in our neighborhood!
