Executive chef: Jared Gadbaw

    Wonderful experience! After a disastrous Valentine’s Day at another restaurant, my fiancée and I needed a make-up date—and Oak & Reel did not disappoint. They exceeded our expectations and made our evening truly special. From the impeccable attention to detail to the punctual kitchen staff and expert service, every aspect of our experience was unforgettable. We will certainly be back!

    We had Amanda. Amazing service. Very attentive and great recommendations. On top of absolutely everything. A little pricey, but fair for the quality of food. Everything was very good. Have zero complaints. A good belated valentines night out

    We went on Valentine’s Day. Service was very good. It is a gourmet menu. We liked most of the food, including dessert. Cocktails were OK not great. We felt the cost was a little excessive but understandable with such a gourmet type meal. Including tip $365 for two. Sorry we won’t be back.

    Fantastic experience. The food was amazing and the service was great. Very attentive staff. Surprisingly not overpriced for a "fancy" night out. Actually, quite fairly priced. We will definitely be back!
