The Oakroom, the flagship restaurant in the glorious, century-old Seelbach Hilton hotel, has a sterling reputation. Patrons have included F. Scott Fitzgerald, John F. Kennedy and Al Capone. The cuisine, described as "international Kentucky fine dining," is exquisite — firmly based in regional ingredients, but with significant global influences. A continually changing menu revels in creative surprises, balanced flavors and gourmet twists on comfort food.

"Collard greens accompany a duck “trifecta” in which the bird is wrapped in prosciutto, smoked, and twice-cooked. Diver scallops share the plate with parsnip purée, local mushrooms and caviar from Kentucky paddlefish."
