   Celebrated my husband’s birthday and had a wonderful dining experience. We were greeted with plenty of ambience and a birthday message at the table. We had a wonderful server and our food was fabulous. Enjoyed drinks at The Upright downstairs afterward where we were seated and served a hot toddy! Loved the jazz music and themed drinks! Highly recommend for a special night out.

   Overall fantastic experience! Service was truly top notch. Cocktails are on point - manhattans and espresso martinis were especially delicious. Our party of eight tried a few appetizers and table-sized pasta dishes to start. The pasta was some of the best I’ve ever had, although one of the dishes was almost a tad too salty for my taste. Nonetheless, overall excellent. The entrees were delicious as well and definitely large enough to share if enjoying apps and pasta or salad. We tried two of the desserts amongst the group, and they did not disappoint. We capped things off with drinks downstairs in the speakeasy - again, top notch all around. Definitely will be back!

   Food was outstanding; service was hit or miss. It was clear that our server was prioritizing another larger table; took a long time to approach us even for drink orders. The ambience was beautiful and festive but loud. We were seated by the bar and front windows. Front desk staff are aloof and not particularly welcoming.

   Great food and service. The prix fixe menu is a great option for dining experience as it allows you to try multiple different dishes as well as dessert. The octopus was cooked perfectly! The service was also very nice, every time you get up someone comes and folds your napkin. Then someone periodically wipes down your table. My favorite was the change in silverware. Excellent touch.

   Weve been here many times. One of our faves. Tonight was an off night. Service and food only mediocre. We’re big fans so no worries, we’ll be back, one more time. Hope it was a Fluke

   Fabulous Dinner. Every dish was perfection! Black Ink squid pasta with crab and shrimp simply divine. We split as an appetizer. Main course: we split Dover sole and choose the acorn squash as a side. Wine, fresh bread and Finished off with the chocolate mousse and bambalinos ( house made donuts). The flavors are nuanced and the culinary level a cut above. Service was excellent and the ambiance is relaxed chic and not stuffy. This is a pretty restaurant and we so appreciated being able to eat and converse at dinner. No loud pounding music, thank you, thank you Chef Jared for another memorable dining experience at one of the best restaurants in the “D”. This place is a must! PS Plenty on the menu is you don’t eat fish.

   Loved our dinner and experience at Oak and Reel! Food and drinks were great, service was outstanding and we loved the vibe! Only bummer was we couldn’t go to the upright before because it was closed for a private event :-(
