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. Expect seafood-forward dishes with pastas made in-house daily like squid ink lumache with shrimp plus knockout Italian-leaning wines, all served in a rustic-chic space with lush hanging plants and exposed brick walls.

Jacques Pepin Dinner
Jul 17, 2025 onlyThursday, July 17th, 2025 Doors at 6:00PM | Dinner Starts at 6:30PM Join us for the 2025 edition of The Culinary Collective—a unique dining series hosted by Oak & Reel that celebrates collaboration and craft by bringing acclaimed chefs from across the country into our kitchen for unforgettable one-night-only events. This year, we’re honored to partner with the Jacques Pépin Foundation for a special dinner as part of its “90 Chefs for 90 Years” series, recognizing Chef Pépin’s 90th birthday and his enduring commitment to culinary education. For this special evening, we're thrilled to welcome two guest chefs with a shared respect for classical technique and a deep love of French cuisine. Chef Danny Combs, owner of Cincinnati’s acclaimed Colette, brings a globally inspired palate and a refined approach rooted in tradition. His work at celebrated restaurants like Sotto and Boca laid the foundation for his thoughtful take on modern French cooking. Joining him is Chef Dan Williams, Corporate Chef for Daniel Boulud. A classically trained culinarian, Chef Dan has led in some of New York City’s most respected kitchens, including Michelin-starred Lincoln Ristorante and Vaucluse, where he first met our very own Chef Jared Gadbaw. This collaborative dinner will be an evening of exceptional food, shared stories, and the spirit of mentorship that Chef Pépin continues to inspire. Please note: - Oak & Reel is proud to support the Jacques Pépin Foundation by donating a portion of the proceeds from this event to help empower individuals through culinary education. Enjoy a meal that makes a difference! Proceeds from the event help transform lives through culinary education, and we deeply appreciate your generous support. - All tickets are final sale, non-refundable & non-transferable. Final price is inclusive of food, beverage, tax, and service. - Due to the nature of this dinner, we are unable to accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions. - While Chef Pépin won’t be joining us in person for this event, his influence will be simmering in every dish.
