“White Oaks Restaurant, Westlake
Est. 1928
When White Oaks Restaurant in Westlake opened in 1928, it was a speakeasy. A night watchman’s quarters kept an eye out for police, while patrons were served alcohol imported from France, Canada and Scotland. A photo wall filled with pictures shows the long history of the place, which was originally owned by Mike Spooner. Mike’s son, Byron, sold the place to Anthony Small in 1971, and these days his son, Michael Small, is the proprietor of White Oaks Restaurant. The fine-dining spot is known for its menu featuring beef Wellington (a specialty of the restaurant for over 40 years), roasted duck and bacon-wrapped filet mignon. 777 Cahoon Rd., Westlake 44145, 440/835-3090, white-oaks.com“
