The eggs were perfectly cooked soft and buttery. And the sour dough toast with that perfect sour dough tang was the perfect edition. Even the coffee in the French press takes the coffee to another level. But talking about Oak & Reed flair the signature waffle was possibly one of the best things I have eaten. The waffle with that pearl sugar is the way a waffle should be made but then they have that waffle filled with Dutch caramel and that mascarpone on top is perfect. The tang, sweetness, butteriness, the crisp yet fluffy waffle it all was an equation for an amazing breakfast item. I could eat that every time I go. Truly amazing. The staff in Oak & Reed is always amazing attentive and kind. Live the open kitchen concept. Especially with my two year old currently in a Ratatouille kick so she wanted to see the chefs while she looked for Remy cooking. All in all Oak & Reed never disappoints.

THE ARRIVAL We…read morewalked in. Jenna saw us. And in that moment, something passed between us -- an understanding. Jenna knew. Jenna knew I was a man who would need extra napkins, and Jenna knew it before I did. Do not ask me how Jenna knew. Jenna does not explain Jenna. THE SEATING (5/5) Jenna sat us at a table. Was it a good table? Friend, every table is a good table if Jenna walks you to it. Jenna could have seated me in the dumpster and I would have said "great light back here." THE SALAD BAR (5/5, but really Jenna/5) I approached the salad bar with the confidence of a man who has approached many salad bars. But this salad bar had been touched by Jenna. The croutons were dry. The chickpeas were plentiful. There was not a single sad, weeping cucumber in the entire assembly. I looked back at Jenna. Jenna gave me a small nod. We both knew what we had done. I went back four times. Jenna did not judge me. Jenna has never judged anyone. Jenna, if you're reading this, I went back a fifth time when you were in the kitchen. I think you knew. I think you always knew. THE ENTRÉE (Jenna) Ordered a burger. Jenna said "good choice," and Jenna meant it -- I could tell, because when I asked about the fish, Jenna paused. That pause said more than any Zagat guide ever has. Jenna will not lie to you, but Jenna will let you find your own way. That's not service. That's parenting. THE REFILLS (Jenna/Jenna) My Diet Coke never once dipped below the halfway line. I tried to catch Jenna in the act. I stared at that glass. I looked away for one second -- one -- and it was full. Jenna operates outside of linear time. I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think Jenna might be the only thing holding Middletown together. THE CHECK Jenna brought the check. I did not want the check. I wanted to live at this Ruby Tuesday, in a small cot behind the salad bar, and be near Jenna. But Jenna, in Jenna's infinite wisdom, knew it was time. Jenna said "no rush." JENNA SAID NO RUSH. After everything Jenna had done, Jenna gave me time. I tipped like a man who has seen God, and God's nametag said Jenna. FINAL VERDICT * Food: Good! * Ambiance: There's a Ruby Tuesday in it * Service: JENNA * Would return: Only for Jenna * Parking: Ample, and Jenna had nothing to do with it, but I bet Jenna would if you asked Five stars. Ask for Jenna. Demand Jenna. If they say Jenna isn't working, leave. Go home. Sit in the dark. Wait for Jenna.

Arriving during lunch at a late afternoon we were immediately seated. The waitress was a little flustered and initially rushing to get our orders and appeared distracted.

The food is above average for casual dining for great prices. Will definitely come back.

When we sat down the wait person didn't acknowledge just for 10 minutes even though there was only one other table in the section. She finally reluctantly came over with a scowl on her face and asked if we wanted drinks. She later came backs and slammed down 3 waters and a coke. She never asked if we knew how the restaurant works or if we wanted hot pots. She left to stand in the back looking like she was given a life sentence in the worst prison around. Next came the tasteless unappetizing food. Everything looked over cooked or sloppy. But the worst was it was tasteless with no seasoning and the sushi was mealy and did not taste fresh. Supermarket sushi tastes better. For the price go somewhere else. Definitely delete this place from your list.

It was fun watching it cook, then eating it. However, it made our table very cluttered. The waitress was very attentive and helpful. I liked that it was all you could eat. I had ordered steak and shrimp for my main coarse and grilled them. I found the shrimp difficult to peel after grilling it. They did not have cocktail sauce on their menu for my shrimp so it wasn't as good as I wanted. they did suggest another sauce that was spicy but it wasn't way to hot and spicy for my liking. All in all it was a good experience. I may try it again sometime. I had to ask for a fork, as they only served chopsticks. And I had to use scissors to cut my steak. No steak knives.

You can choose all-you-can-eat hot pot, Korean BBQ, or both, with separate pricing for lunch, dinner, adults, and two kid age groups. The ordering process was easy. You select your broth through your server and then use an order pad to request meats, vegetables, and other items throughout the meal. Orders came out at a very reasonable pace, and I was impressed by the huge variety of options available. The two-hour dining limit was more than enough time to enjoy everything. The staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful, and parking was convenient with plenty of spaces right in front of the restaurant. Overall, a fun dining experience with great value and lots of choices. I would definitely go back again!

Definitely don't let initial impressions be the judge and stop you from trying this legit dining option of real platters and not fast food.

I got a seat at the sushi bar and ordered the Sashimi Dinner and a Hot Green Tea. The Sashimi Dinner came with a Miso soup and House Salad which was nice but were both pretty disappointing. Unfortunately the Sashimi dinner was quite a disappointment as well. Very soggy, soft, falling apart texture from lack of freshness in the all of the fish, not to mention the flavor. I also have to add this was one of the gamiest tasting, smelling & textural salmon sashimi I have been served. Overall a 3.7/10 quality of ingredients were all fair at best, staff was not very welcoming & it was generally just a bit sticky everywhere.
