We planned on trying a few other pasta spots for Valentine’s Day, but everything was booked solid. Ended up giving the new kid on the block, Oak & Reel, a shot—and I’m glad we did.

The veal-stuffed ravioli was unreal. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert—it’s non-negotiable. And the Banana Run cocktail? Dangerously good.

In a word, gratitude. We’re so grateful to have this place where we know we can trust the quality. This includes the staff, the food and the beverage offerings, and last but not least, Chef Jared.
Last night‘s gnocchi will be in my dreams until the next time! Thank you for the
⭐️special ingredient, and for treating us like royalty 🩷 Until next time!

Oak & Reel just set the bar way higher. The tasting menu + pairings? Phenomenal. I’m talking “look at each other after every bite in disbelief” kind of good. Perfect food, perfect pacing, perfect night.
If you haven’t been — go. Immediately. ✨
