Oaks Kitchen owner aims to shift narrative on eatery
Juliet Comer became the eatery’s owner and general manager in August 2023.
As executive chef and now owner of The Oaks Kitchen, Comer calls back to her Filipino roots for the restaurant’s cuisine. She brings an Asian, American and French fusion to the menu that she said guests rave about. What to expect Comer aims to strengthen The Oaks’ relation- ship with residents, connecting with them by catering events, focusing on food quality and retraining sta . “We are nonstop working,” Comer said. “My chef, kitchen manager and I are working on a new menu. We’re trying to create a new menu that people can a ord, with entrees that are di erent from other restaurants.”
Juliet Comer said she believes in destiny when it’s coupled with dedication. The owner and general manager of Cane Island’s The Oaks Kitchen & Bar was the executive chef and the eatery’s rst hire when it opened in March 2019. She bought it from Cane Island’s pres- ident in August 2023 after considering the eatery’s then-sour relationship with residents. “You put e ort and all your hard work into [something],” Comer said. “And for me, I believe in destiny. If it’s destined for you, it’s for you.” The inspiration Comer’s passion for cooking began when she was young, leading her to go to culinary school in Australia and work at restaurants in Houston.
