Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jared Gadbaw

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Jared Gadbaw led NYC’s acclaimed Marea to two MICHELIN Stars, and that fine dining pedigree shines at this sophisticated coastal Italian spot named Hour Detroit’s 2022 Restaurant of the Year.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday and there was a happy birthday card on the table when we arrived…lovely touch to start the evening dining experience! It was our first time here and our server, Ashley, was phenomenal! She did a great job explaining the menu and her attention to us during our evening was flawless! We opted for a combination of some of us chose the 4 course meal, and some chose individual items….I’d say everything we had was absolutely delicious! Some of our favorites were the Burrata, Truffle Gnocchi, Bucatini, Ribeye, side Potatoes, and Chocolate Mousse Dessert. Honestly, everything was amazing! We will be returning to Oak & Reel again!

    Our second time visiting. Again, excellent. I believe it’s one of the best in the Detroit area. The appetizer selections were outstanding with a unique twist to every selection. I believe the uniqueness of the dishes is what stands out here. I also believe that having a parking lot is a value add for me. It makes it so much easier and painless to go to oak and reel knowing you don’t have to deal with parking or a valet. The meals and wine pairings were superb. A wonderful meal and overall experience.
