    Hull and Oak provided a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and upscale, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. Our server Tanisha was warm, professional, and attentive. She made us feel right at home. The chef did an amazing job with the food; everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. I ordered the Illy’s latte, which was a bit bitter at first, but after sweetening it to my taste, it was just right. The mimosa was decent, though the choice of champagne could’ve been better. Even with those small notes, my overall experience was definitely five stars. I will absolutely be back!

    The restaurant was lovely but seemed short staffed. We came during brunch and my coffee was only refilled once, and it took over an hour for us to get food. I don’t think I could recommend it to others.

    Overall, my experience at Hull & Oak was positive. The person I spoke to on the phone prior to arriving unfortunately did not have the kindest tone but due to it being my birthday I was optimistic. Our server was nice and patient. We were seated in a private room which was nice but I would have preferred to be able to have music in that room as well. The restaurant was surprisingly empty and we had quite a wait for our food and drinks (the drinks came out after the food). The taste of the food in my opinion was great. I ordered the Hanger Steak with a side of baked mac & cheese. Two of my guests did not like the food. They reviewed that the Cajun pasta, short ribs and crab cake was okay but the presentation was lacking. The salads were great ofc.

    We went for brunch, the food was good and service was decent but the price was pretty high. $22 for an omelet is a bit high.

    Made a reservation. Walked all the way over with 3 kids (30 min walk) only to be turned away bc they weren’t seating people who hadn’t signed up for their Valentine’s pre fixe. Turns out they never turned off reservation making for normal tables on Open Table. Very poorly managed.

    The food was good for the price. I think my expectations for the ambiance was high so that’s the only thing that didn’t really meet my expectations.
