The Spot
Oak & Reel is a family-owned Italian restaurant in Detroit's Milwaukee Junction, run by Jared and Abby Gadbaw. The kitchen centers on an oak-burning hearth, used to cook fresh seafood alongside house-made pasta and seasonal dishes, with a wine and cocktail list built to match.

Swordfish and the pasta dishes come up often among what diners order. The dining room is designed to be upscale but unfussy, meant for gathering rather than formality.

Oak & Reel has been named to Eater's Essential 38 list for Detroit and has been reviewed by The Infatuation.
