Council Oak Steaks and Seafood

Council oak is the literal best restaurant in Northwest Indiana. All the steaks are cooked with precision and all the non steak items are all great ways to mix it up if you just don’t want steak. The seafood is always fresh and the salads are cool spins on classic recipes! I eat food here frequently and love everything I taste. The sides are all excellent. They just added a sweet potato mash in time for fall and it the best I have ever had. The service Matches the food the servers there are some of the most professional and talented. You feel like you are at a fine dining restaurant in downtown when you are there. If you haven’t tried this place I highly recommend!!!

Dining at Council Oak Steaks and Seafood was an incredible experience from start to finish. The seafood was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and my steak was one of the best I’ve had in years. The ambiance is classy and intimate, making it ideal for a date or celebration. The staff was professional yet warm, ensuring every detail was just right. I can’t wait to go back.

My party enjoyed salmon, steak, chicken, and pork chops as our entrees. The dinner rolls were soft and fresh. The sides were crab cakes, macaroni and cheese, and whipped potatoes. Dessert was carmel topped cheesecake. Ryan, our waiter, was very meticulous in his service. The restaurant is nicely appointed. The restrooms are individual and very clean. There is plenty of free parking,handicapped assessible entry. We unanimously agreed that Council Oaks did not disappoint! Yes, we plan to enjoy more meals there in the near future!

Came here for my birthday with my wife. Admittedly, we’re kinda food snobs but we went in with no expectations, as we’ve been disappointed more times than not. Well, we had nothing to fear. We’ve eaten at some pretty great restaurants but this was by far the best dining experience we’d ever had. Our server was Christian, who had extremely helpful suggestions and checked up on us just the right amount of times. We were shocked when we got the bill… it was almost $100 less than we expected. This place is a gem.

First time at this restaurant it was phenomenal felt good to have fine dining in town. Our server Ryan was great no complaints he was on top of everything. The food tasted so good definitely have to come back to try everything else I saw on the menu. We had the Rockefeller oysters, Lamb chops, bone in New York Strip, meat balls and Mac and cheese. Sorry no pictures I was excited to indulge!!

This is our second time here and the steak was cooked to order exactly like we asked. The sides were amazing. We had Mac and Cheese and Potato’s Au Gratin. The food is amazing and I always wait to eat somewhere twice and it didn’t disappoint the second time.

I used to come here every weekend to have drinks and enjoy the live band music. Now, their drinks are too expensive for my taste and they replaced the live music with DJs, so I rarely go now. Not that I dislike DJs, but the live music is what set it apart from other bars in the area. The atmosphere doesn't suit DJs as well as it did the live bands. If they're going to stick with DJs, it would be better if the bar was more separated from the main casino floor (like the High Roller room is). I've also eaten at the restaurant a couple of times and the food was delicious. I opted for the king crab both times.

My visit to Council Oak for dinner was a fantastic experience. This was our third time dining there, and each visit has been exceptional. The waitstaff were incredibly sweet, and everything was served promptly. The food is definitely worth the price. Although I’m not a gambler, I go to the casino just to eat at this amazing restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great steakhouse, even if it might be a bit pricey for some. Trust me, the experience is worth every penny—you won’t feel cheated. Eating their food brings me so much comfort because it’s incredibly flavorful and delicious. You should definitely try it today!
