Got to the restaurant about 15 minutes early. Had a few drinks at bar while we waited. Bartender was extremely friendly, recommended the prefect drinks and talked through the entire menu. Our waitress was equally friendly and very attentive. We ordered the octopus, a pasta plate, the swordfish and a chicken dish. All were very good. Paired perfectly with the garnishes. Overall great dinning experience. View all feedback.
What Huy Phan doesn't like about Oak Reel:
I was pretty bummed. I had high expectations for the food for the value. But now I know to expect to spend on food that tasted ????????????????????. The portions were very small even though I selected large entre sized pastas. Everything from salad, entre, and dessert were over seasoned! Salad was very fishy and unpleasant. Lamache was dry and looked and tasted like a bunch of leftover seafood was scrapped and thrown... View all feedback.
My wife and son went here for her birthday. What a most enjoyable dinner that I ever had. I opted for the chefs tasting menu while the others ordered the 4 course tasting. It was simply the best food that I ever enjoyed. We will be back for sure.
Great atmosphere, accompanied by attentive service! I would highly recommend having your date night, anniversary etc here. This is my second time visiting and everything I’ve ordered has been cooked perfectly and delicious! Thank you Oak Reel for a great night out!
A culinary delight! Didn't expect the fish to be so good but it was perfect! From exquisite flavors to great presentation, each dish was a delightful. The attentive service and inviting ambiance added to the wonderful dining experience. A definite recommendation for food enthusiasts!
Had high hopes. Heard good things. We were there for three hours. Waited 1 hour for first course. And about a half hour between others. We’re there for a celebration but it began to feel like a funeral. The food arrived and was not tasty. No one at the table enjoyed either course. The drinks were delicious ? yet!, they also took a very long time. We’d asked if they were understaffed and they said no…and they were only at ~40% capacity so we couldn’t understand the reason for the delay. The floor manager appeared to be available yet managed to keep avoiding us by sending over other staff.The experience was not worth the bill. Wouldn’t return.
