Restaurant Manager Alex Tuckwin and Chef Ty Armstrong created a personal, unforgettable evening. Each course was beautifully prepared, each wine pairing thoughtfully chosen. The flavors, the setting, the kindness-all exceptional. I didn't know my taste buds could be so astounded! We felt welcomed, relaxed, and truly cared for. It was a five star experience in the heart of a college town. A hidden gem we'll remember for a long time. The Oread is home to two true artists-Alex Tuckwin and Ty Armstrong- and we are so grateful to have experienced their work.

There are lots of daily lunch, dinner, and happy hour specials. I had a classic burger with fries and it was OK ($17). My wife had a taco salad with shredded chicken and ground beef on the side and it was also OK ($12, since it was the daily special). details: Dramatic, soaring space with lots of signage.

Our waitress was fantastic too: attentive, friendly, on top of everything all night. Where it fell apart was the patio. We were dealing with flies the entire meal -- I mentioned it more than once, and the response was basically 'yeah, we should probably do something about that.' This isn't a cheap night out, and for those prices, that's not acceptable. It's a fixable problem and it wasn't being taken seriously. Food, drinks, and service inside were all a clear win. Management needs to get the patio pest situation under control -- it undercut what would've otherwise been a great night out.

My family just ate here for a birthday and we were all pleased with the service and quality of food that was served. Let's talk about the food first. Now if you're ordering a steak, my rule is always to order a step down from how well you want it cooked. I prefer medium rare because anything past that is a crime, but I will almost always order a steak rare knowing it will be cooked past that and more on the medium rare side. That said, my steak was perfect. You want medium? Tell them medium rare. Medium well? Medium. Well done? Go to a shoe store and get yourself a leather shoe and get some help. Now, the server. We had Dowdy. He was attentive, quick, personable, and great at keeping up with our large group. We could tell he enjoys his job and we would definitely ask for him if and when we come back.

There are plenty of unhealthy options on the menu, but there are also some healthier options if you're careful. My sister did not join us because there's too many tempting unhealthy choices. So if you can't resist a good cheeseburger with fries, don't go here! I LOVE all of sauce choices! I love how they have them on the menu showing how they go from mild to hot. We ordered 20 wings to share with the table (5 of us), but I ended up eating 10 of them! They were so good! We got 10 Honey Siracha flavored and 10 Double Dipped. We all preferred the Honey Siracha. The double dipped didn't have as flavor. They add tortilla chips to the basket, but they didn't seem to have any seasoning on them. They were very bland so no one ate them. I got the grilled shrimp and a side of coleslaw for my meal. The coleslaw was pretty bland, so I ended up not eating it. But the shrimp was very tasty, and a healthy portion (and healthy option). The plate came with 2 hush puppies which I didn't try. They were pretty small and looked over cooked, but my niece ate them and said they're delicious! My daughter got the same thing but with fries. We got some fried mac and cheese bites. I didn't know they had jalapeño in them. I tried one bite of one. They were pretty spicy, but good. My niece got the shrimp tacos. They looked pretty good. They come with a side and she got fries. She was only able to eat one taco and took the rest home. Her daughter got to eat for free (from the kids menu). She got the mac and cheese with a side of apple sauce. I tried the mac and cheese. It was ok. She didn't eat anything, but kids are weird. Her mom took it home for her to eat later. My other niece got the boneless wings and loved them. Hers came with tortilla chips. Altogether our bill was about $65 before tip. We had water to drink. I might go back again. If I don't, it's only because I try to eat healthy and there's a lot of temptations here. I give 5 stars because most everything was very good and the server was very nice too. The restaurant is clean.

I had the medium rare bone-in ribeye for $49. It was slightly over cooked but not by much. I didn't like the taste of the rub/sauce on the steak as it tasted a little sour. I've never eaten a steak at a steakhouse with this taste. It was certainly unique. I loved the lump crab cakes though; very moist and creamy. The service was great. Our waiter was attentive and offered a free coffee cake for a birthday celebration. J. Wilson's has an average 4.3 stars on Yelp which is really good. However, the bone-in ribeye was underwhelming. I would rather pay $20-30 more for a more exceptional steak. P.S. my brother also could not finish his KC Strip.
