    All four of us had a cocktail (those perfectly clear square ice cubes are awesome!) followed by the Tuscan tasting menu and wine pairing. We had all been to O&R several times before, for both regular dinners and tasting menus. The entire experience has always been exceptional, and last night was no exception. The food, atmosphere, service...everything was terrific. We commented that it is our favorite Detroit restaurant, which is saying something given the revised Detroit dining scene. Simply Wonderful, as usual!!

    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!
