About the restaurant

'TILL THE COWS COME HOME
Our Inspiration is rooted in an Alpine tradition, where cattle adorned with oversized cow bells and flower crowns are led down the mountains by local farmers in early fall.

As they make their descent, townspeople greet them for a celebration of regional food, wine and spirits.

The food, service, and paired wines were all excellent. The kitchen was even willing to work with food sensitivities that my wife and I have, and the entire staff did a wonderful job of communicating any possible concerns. While the price may seem a little high, when you compare it to the quality of everything that you get, it is what I expected. They also had a dedicated parking lot, which was an added bonus. My only complaint was the noise level, which at times could be a little loud if you were expecting a quiet romantic evening. I would highly recommend Oak & Reel for a high-quality food and wine experience.
