Black Walnut

We had a special dinner at the Black Walnut; it was a memorable experience! We initially tried to get a table for 12 hours but found it fully reserved. However, we decided to stop in and check- and thankfully, they had a seat for us in the bar area! We started with jerk chicken lollipops served with mango chutney-damn, it was so good! The Parmesan truffle fries were a great touch. For our main course, my wife had the Cast Iron Strip (12 oz. New York Strip with red wine mushroom reduction, crispy potatoes, and Brussels sprouts), while I had the English beef ribs. Each was cooked to perfection and tasted really awesome. The bartenders are really friendly, adding to the overall experience. Overall, an exquisite dinner at Black Walnut, we would definitely recommend it 😍😍😍😍

My work came here for a group dinner. I heard there was lots of prep involved in committing to a dinner for 16 people. We were instructed that there is a parking garage on the west-facing side of the building on Oklahoma Ave, so we found it, drove in, and found parking with no problem. Remember to ask for the code to get out when you leave. Walk to the elevators and go up to floor 1. There is signage that will take you to the hostess stand, where they walked us to our table. We were in a corner of the restaurant that was pretty secluded from the rest of the venue, meaning you couldn't see any other guests. It included a huge TV screen that simulated a fireplace. The staff, Chloe and (I think) Kayla were very kind and accommodating to us all night. They took out drink orders and instructed us that the bar around the corner held all of our hors d'oeuvres (pre-decided by our point of contact). The best one was the smoked mac & cheese bites. The bruschetta was pretty tasty. I personally didn't enjoy the fried green tomato bites but half of my colleagues did. We were provided with a limited menu and before placing our order, the waitress announced a change, one additional entree and one dessert replaced. I ordered a caesar salad, the veggie scampi, and the spice cake. The caesar salad was alright; they served it with a long, almost stringy type of lettuce I didn't enjoy. Not lots of flavor there nor did it make it easy to eat. My husband had a butternut squash soup that he enjoyed, but I did not. It was rather nutty, haha, but honestly, it was more of a bisque than a soup. I did not enjoy my veggie scampi. It was described as a white wine sauce with veggies, but the sauce was odd. Each time I took a bite - you know that feeling in the back of your tongue when you eat a sour patch kid? - those taste buds fired off. I can still feel it now as I type this, two days later. I tried to get acclimated to it but it kept getting worse. I do not recommend this dish. Thank the Lord that my husband ordered the English beef ribs and he was kind enough to allow me a few bites. Those ribs were delicious. The downside is that the menu advertised the dish as coming with four hush puppies and each rib dish I saw only had two. That was disappointing only because the hush puppies were so good. My colleagues loved their salmon dishes and the coconut curry dishes. I just had a bad luck night with my dishes. The great news is that I was able to finish the night with a super good spice cake. The cake alone was dense which is why I assume it's served with vanilla ice cream. Very decadent and enjoyable. Looking at the rest of their menu online, I am unsure if I would like to come back. If I do, I'm playing it safe and getting those ribs again!

Such a beautiful atmosphere. Very welcoming. The staff is incredible. We ordered the jerk chicken lollipops and fried green tomatoes to start. Both were delicious. The honey lavender chicken was tender and wonderfully seasoned. The perfect hint of lavender. The English Beef Ribs fell off the bone and the mushroom sauce was amazing. We will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and our server was so kind and attentive. The food was delicious although I wasn’t a huge fan of the salmon dish…. And it wasn’t cooked thoroughly. However the jerk chicken was very unique and delicious! I loved the flavor profile of that dish. I really liked the atmosphere but I would have preferred a different table, I probably could have asked though!

We were in town, as Alabama, to get our asses whooped real good in neighboring Norman. We hit LOTS of restaurants while in OKC, and found Black Walnut to be AMAZING. Great food with unique flavors and wonderful service. 10/10. Enjoy!

I was not impressed. Our reservation was at 815, and arrived early due to it being NYE. We didn’t get seated until 830. The hostess seemed disorganized and clueless about what was going on. The restaurant was so loud it was hard to carry on a conversation. We ordered drinks and it took forever. We were informed that the bartender was new and that orders were backed up at the bar. When our food arrived, it was cold. It tasted good but it would have been amazing if would have been hot. I won’t be coming back. To spend that much money for a meal, I want my food to be hot.

my girlfriend and I finally tried this place and were both pretty let down, unfortunately. one of the dishes we ordered was the lobster bites, which shouldn't even be on the menu it's so bad. greasy, salty and dishonorable to lobster fans coast to coast. my English beef ribs were so overcooked they were basically the texture of wet dog food. on top of all that, the service was unforgivable. definitely not returning, and now have reservations about any of Andrew black's restaurants.

Black Walnut is maybe worth a try but not a place we would regularly come back to and might not come back ever. The service and people were super nice and friendly. We liked the atmosphere as well. The issue is the old fashioned that they make with black walnut bitters was not good at all. My wife got the paper plane and said it was pretty good. The food was kind of mediocre for us. The Mac and cheese bites came with marinara sauce under which we think wasn’t necessary and would be better without. The truffle fries with the chicken was decent but interesting dipping sauce. The lobster bites were so small that it was hard to know if it’s finger food or if you should grab a fork. Maybe worth a try but if you’re wanting to try a new joint maybe this will work for you.

What a thoughtful and well executed menu. We tried a bit of everything, but if you even kinda-like Brussels sprouts, the Brussels Caesar was the clear winner of the evening. Everything else was varying degrees of delicious, but hands down this is the dish to get every time. Everyone was friendly, the atmosphere is very intimate and I will most certainly be going back to try more of the menu. Only ding on the experience was how little the server really knew about the menu, asked about a dish's ingredients and guy was pretty well clueless. He was very nice but just expected a bit more polish from a restaurant of this caliber. Certainly still a 5 star review, he may have just be a new employee. In any event, what a neat little gem of a restaurant and honestly felt like the prices were a great value for the taste and execution the kitchen sends out.

Always great food! The servers are kind and responsive and with great recommendations. Located in the heart of downtown, the restaurant itself is beautiful and welcoming. My top picks were the lamb chops, macaroni, chicken lollipops and porkbelly. Highly recommend this spot for Happy Hour.

Here's the thing: this place is fine for OKC. It does try to give a twist on typical menu items, but I don't feel it hits the mark as well as it could. I don't think this place would survive being in the heart of a bigger city, but it works here. While it feels fancy, it also has room to be casual. Service is standard, especially since I was here at 6pm on a Tuesday, so only once other customer was there. The vida on the rocks drink is quite the sweet drink. The mango puree stands out the most. Make sure you lick the ancho rim to get the full effect. Not as complex as I would have hoped, but still an enjoyable drink. The mushroom dish should have been labeled as bruschetta, because it would have been more specific. When hummus was mentioned as an ingredient, I wasn't sure whether this was going to be mushroom embedded in hummus. The bruschetta was good, but a little more simple than I thought It would be. I do think they used just the right amount of goat cheese for each piece of bread. The bread was not crispy, and at some points, soggy like baguette French toast. I was ok with the overall experience of this dish, but it's not a huge wow factor. The pork belly was pretty good! Granted, I personally would have preferred a more seared/crunchy exterior to the pork belly, but it was still tasty. The apples were the most surprising factor, as they were super crisp and full of flavor, as of plucked from a tree. The red pepper was a nice touch. The mango puree did stand out a little too much, but I preferred to have more than less. The excess puree was the only thing I left on the plate.

Came here for a Christmas dinner and it was so nice! It took place in their private dining room, we had our own bartender and they created a menu that we could choose from. The servers were very kind. The restaurant is gorgeous, definitely new, clean and crisp on the inside. My favorite items were the tomahawk steak, the mac and cheese and vegetables paired with it were exquisite! I also LOVED the Mexican firing squad drink, delicious! The food coming out was a bit slow but I think it was mostly due to how large our party was. I definitely plan to return because I've heard their happy hour is great!

Service and food were both amazing. Parking garage was a little trickier than I expected but it was Galentine's Day.

Great Service & Delicious Jerk Chicken Black Walnut has a creative menu that offers some standout dishes. The highlight of my meal was definitely the jerk chicken appetizer--perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat and depth of flavor. It was easily the star of the night. I also had the glazed chicken. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was great.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant so did for our monthly dinner with friends. The drinks were good and the beet salad was delicious. I arrived early enough so could park out front but friends parked in the connected garage. My favorite was the Mac and cheese balls.

Return visit. Loved our last experience here (for dinner and apps--it was a totally five star visit)! Our biggest disappointment is that they've discontinue their happy hour (which we specifically went for). We each dropped about $30 bucks a piece on one drink and and an app a piece. Still love those burgundy mushrooms and the mac and cheese bites were better this time. The shrimp and grits bites were good but one of our party did not like the sauce. At. All. Jerked chicken lollipops had a good kick. Please take the happy hour specials off your website though.

I had a very similar experience as another patron for New Years Eve, the service was slow, we had reservations however, didn't have to wait too long. The bar was staff challenged and I assume the kitchen was too as I couldn't see in the back and the hostess did her best. The drinks were mediocre. Come to think about it, the entire restaurant was staff challenged for a holiday. In particular our waitress was disengaged. Overall the place was clean. All of our appetizers were great. All of our food was tasty with the exception of the salmon. The salmon was a weird soupy couscous dish. Not at all what I expected. One individual in my party had the steak, which she loved and my boyfriend had the lavender chicken which I highly recommend. I would absolutely return but maybe not on a busy night. Oh and I did notice once the owner arrive there was some pace and intensity with the staff. Integrity and good help is hard to come by these days.

I loved this so much the first time, so my colleagues and I came back for happy hour, and were quite disappointed that they discontinued happy hour! But it's still on the website. No big deal, we still split several appetizers and had cocktails. I must admit that the cocktail nor the appetizer I ordered were as good as I had hoped. The shrimp and grits bites had this strangely bitter sauce that was not pleasant. And the cocktail was pretty, but tasted just okay. Service was good, but it was dead. Very empty inside compared to the last Thursday I had it. Plenty of open seating though. I'm still a fan, but was a tad disappointed overall.

Black Walnut lives up-to the hype! This James Beard award winning chef did not disappoint - the flavors were all unique and satisfying- you cannot go wrong with anything that you try! Darlene our waitress was great! She gave us wonder suggestions and new the menu very well - we appreciated all her suggestions- It is a bit loud in there so be prepared for that - You must have a reservation so don't delay...

We got the salmon dish which was very tasty. The waiters was also very helpful and the atmosphere was quite and personable for nice intimate conversation.

Thoroughly impressed with most everything at Black walnut. You're greeted upon entry and and my only feedback would be how long we had to wait for our table despite have a reservation for a long time. I believe we waited almost 45 mins before being seated. It seemed like the place was overbooked and bigger tables weren't leaving that quick. Nevertheless, the ambiance was great filled with local art and good lighting. Once we got sat the service was impeccable and we were treated well as a big table. The food was pretty amazing top to bottom. I don't have recollection of many dish names but we all shared appetizers that were killer. I really enjoyed the English steak that had plenty leftover with tasty, honey-glazed hush puppies. Highly recommend in OKC.

We were from out of town so decided to go to this restaurant. The place seemed cute and trendy! Service was pretty good especially given the group size we went with. There were some tasty items, but I wouldn't say they were jaw-dropping must-haves. I probably wouldn't come back if I was in OKC but good to try at least once. The lavender chicken seemed a little sweet for my liking. I did like the jerk chicken!

We were so lucky to get a last minute reservation while in town. This was easily our favorite meal during our weekend in OKC. The vibe is perfect for a date night, the servers were so fun and friendly, and the food was incredible. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Yall this place puts Gordon Ramseys restaurant to shame. Hands down a place that separates itself from the pack, from a James beard award winning chef Andrew black this place should be an absolute must. For one its staff are very knowledgeable and polite, the waitress asked us how the first couple of bites were pretty cool to ask. The menu is in a category by itself of awesome, the food will make you make the O Face if you know what I mean haha. It's not cheap but it's worth every freaking penny that's on the ground in okc in a good way y'all ! Go here you'll be so so so so thankfully full of happiness that you did!

This place was a nice surprise while passing through Oklahoma City. Recently won a James Beard award so lucky to have happened across it. Service was impeccable from the moment we entered. The host/manager made us feel very welcome, Portia who greeted us and filled our waters was super friendly, and our waitress Sophie was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, never missing a beat with our needs. We had the chèvre appetizer, smoked oysters and fried green tomatoes for starters. All were amazing. Among our party we tried the English Beef Rib, Lamb chops on a hummus base (AMAZING!), Branzino, Strip Steak and Vegetable Curry. Everything was a winner. Not everyone at the table was a fan of walnuts, but that didn't stop the entire group from consuming the amazing Black Walnut cake at the end. Stopped just short of licking the bowl! I would make a trip to OKC just to eat here again! Good work Black Walnut!

The decor in the restaurant was elegant and simple. It's dimly lit but appropriate. The cocktails were ok but a little too pricey. The food was ok. I had the beet salad, there was far too much dressing and very little beets. I anticipated that the beets would be a little more roasted but they were more like a pickled beet than roasted. There was no goat cheese on the salad as advertised. It was just a one time experience for me. The server didn't know the menu or the cocktails. He wasn't able to make many recommendations other than just saying everything was good.

I had a business dinner here recently. The food and service were excellent. We had two of the skirt steaks and the braised ribs. We all tried the walnut old fashioned. It is a little two sweet but the walnut flavor was unique. They have an excellent selections of bourbons.

I was not impressed. Our reservation was at 815, and arrived early due to it being NYE. We didn't get seated until 830. The hostess seemed disorganized and clueless about what was going on. The restaurant was so loud it was hard to carry on a conversation. We ordered drinks and it took forever. We were informed that the bartender was new and that orders were backed up at the bar. When our food arrived, it was cold. It tasted good but it would have been amazing if would have been hot. I won't be coming back. To spend that much money for a meal, I want my food to be hot.

I was a huge fan of their fine dining experience at Grey Sweater, so I wanted to check out their original location. To be honest, I thought that a lot of their take on each meal I order was so unique that I definitely won't be forgetting it. Only adjustment for me was their saltiness in the food. Some of the items I would only take in small portions because it was too salty for me. I'm not the type to return the food, but it had me asking for refills after each course. Staff was awesome and accommodating.

This was a really exceptional dining experience. I tend to give all my reviews 5 stars (unless I really don't like something) and now I regret it; because on that scale, this spot should get 6 stars! The food was very unique! Jerk chicken popsicles were something I couldn't even have imagined! The accompanying truffle fries were delicious. The dip we had with the bread was so good that you had to slow down, pause, and just savor the flavor. The ambiance was upscale, classy, open & airy. Service was great. The appetizers were so filling and delightful that we didn't even order entrees! The dessert was so good I want to go back again for more!

Wow. A really, really bad experience. We waited an hour after our reservation for our table to be ready Once seated. We ordered. The waitress got one persons order completely wrong. The appetizers came fast. Mac and cheese balls were good.. no better than most places tho The worst thing of the night was the fried lobster app. Remember the crunchies you used to get at long John silvers. .. basically fried batter that dripped off the fish into the basket. That is what these resembled.. just not as tasty. They really seemed like residue that was pulled out while cleaning a deep fryer After the quick appetizers.. the entrees. Took forever. I mean. Forever. If they were good, then ok .. I had the ny strip. Was cold. And tough. The side dish was bad as well. Like roasted potatoes and brussel Sprouts that were stirred together with some shrooms. Others took pics .. so you can see for yourself how unappetizing it looks Partner ordered the fish. Let's get a crispy skin and put it ina sauce so it can get soggy. Perect.. cause who doesn't love soggy flappy fish skin The salad looked nice. Our diner who got the chicken said it was good, but the pancake with it was a throw away. (I didn't try it) Needless to say. Won't be back What a bummer of a meal. We were celebrating a birthday, the entire experience took so long, it was almost time to celebrate another No pictures. I wasn't inspired to take any

The service the decor and the food was fabulous! What more can I say I was looking for a good bbq joint and from the appetizers down to the dessert it was melt in your mouth. Anything u order here you can't go wrong.

Went thinking is was the same as a Texas location. Different companies,‍. It was a great place to take a date. Nice location just north of Bricktown. The food was delicious. The have parking so call and get directions to the parking lot. Wonderful service, polite and efficient. I will return in the near future

I had an outstanding meal at the Black Walnut while visiting on business. Sat at the bar, and met their great bartender, Brooks, who gave me some good recommendations. Started with an old fashioned that Brooks concocted from his own lavender bitters and rye whiskey recipe. Smooth and tasty with a nice, light and spicy (A). I enjoyed the English Beef rib plate. The beef was excellent (A) with a tender, short rib texture and a medium, wine flavored mushroom sauce. The kale salad (A) was fresh and light. It had tangy apples in it which gave the dish a nice balance. The last accompaniment were lightly glazed hush puppies (A)...delicious! I enjoyed a glass of Sangiovese with the meal that was also recommended by Brooks. Highly recommend this restaurant and sit at the bar if solo.

Fantastic! I went here with a group of colleagues thanks to my fellow Yelpers, and we couldn't be more thrilled. We ended up sharing multiple appetizers because we couldn't make up our minds. All the appetizers were scrumptious with plenty to share! Then I shared the lavender chicken dish that was A-MAZ-ZING! We left with full and happy tummies.

The ambiance was great the Drinks wet exceptionally well made , they even make their own on house bitters, which gave a twist to their old fashion

Fantastic amazing dishes. the lavender chicken was indescribably good!! Every dish the 5 of us got we all tasted and we loved it all! This chef has something special going and kudos to him for the James Beard award Best Chef in the Southwest for 2024. He earned it! A delightful evening with warm staff. who showed interest but also gave the right amount of space,

If you are traveling and you need a place to try, this is the place to try.. The customer services is amazing and the food is great.. I really enjoyed the bartender and the recommendations from her.

We are in love!! Fan girl in the biggest way possible with this restaurant since our first dinner. The food and cocktail program is terrific. What really makes the experience special is the amazing team that works here. We were lucky enough to have Darlene walk us through the menu. Brooks is a fantastic mixologist who made sure that our drinks worked wonderfully with our meal. Black Walnut is a comfortable and fun environment with outstanding food and the best craft cocktail program in the city. We're looking forward to our return visit.

Food-5 stars Service-eh....hmm.....sigh.....2 1/2 stars Ambiance- More a a night time feel which makes since, since they are usually only open at night. Our trip was a Sunday afternoon for Mother's Day. It was way too bright and felt like we were eating in the food court at the Mall. I can,however, see how it could look lovely at night. But since they didn't make any adjustments, I have to give it a 3 stars for Ambiance. I'm sure the night time vibe is better. Now....let me explain Food. Excellent. I'm certainly not a food critic and cannot tell you about the hints of this and the subtle flavors of that but I do like what I like. I had the English ribs. Sooooo good. The small salad that came with it was a perfect and nice balance to the rib flavors. It was a great way to cleanse the palette between bites so you can get the full experience again. The hush puppies were very good as well. The other items at the table were the king salmon which I was told was delicious. The lavender chicken I also was told was great. I did sample the little pearl onions that accompanied it and they were great. Sweet but not too sweet. And the onion was soft but not too soft to be a mush in your mouth. The other item was the house salad which looked yummy for a house salad. Service. My rating of 2 1/2 stars I think is generous. Upon sitting it was close to five minutes before we were acknowledged by our server and this was in passing. Then another 2-3 minutes before water. The drink menu was on the table but wasn't pointed out and I missed it (maybe that was my fault) but I feel a server who makes contact should point out the drink menu, let you know they will be right back with water. This did not happen. Disappointing. Our server presented the menu in a very efficient and professional way and came back to take our order. As I said food was awesome. After dinner we waited for an extended period of time (with dirty dishes on the table) to be acknowledged. When we finally were we asked for a box for the leftovers. Next thing I know we were handed a box and the check????? WHAT YOU DON'T OFFER COFFEE????? DESSERT? I don't get it. Server training 101....up sale!!!! Just terrible. IMO. The final blow was the bread. I'm used to restaurants having bread, offering bread, bringing bread.....something. This restaurant and this server didn't. When we asked for bread the server said she can bring some but it will be $2. What ever, I'm about to drop $200 for this meal what do I care about $2. I took a picture of the bread. IT WAS TOAST. LOL. And I will point out only toasted on one side. If that is the bread you offer, just say 'NO We do not have bread'. My over all rating is a combo of excellent food which was diminished by terrible service and embarrassing bread.

Stopped in while in town for work (was walking distance from office). Great spot with fun cocktail and dinner menu. Started with the cardamom roasted beat salad (FYI it's a dinner portion not an actual starter). Ate little over half as was saving room to enjoy the honey lavender rosted chicken. That was so wonderful. 1/2 a chicken over a bed of braised root veggies. Flavors were light and not over powering. Can't wait to come back and try the lamb.

This is the first place that I visited during my stay in Oklahoma City. Food/Drinks: Ordered the Mexican Firing Squad and the Jerk Chicken Lollipops. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Service: Sat at the bar, the bartenders were friendly and inviting to conversation. Ambiance: I visited late in the evening, after dinner. I found the environment to be: cozy and intimate. Would love to visit again!

I heard such good things about Chef Black (if you're reading this Chef Black congrats!) and his restaurants so I went to check out The Black Walnut. The food was very very good I loved the way the menu was set up by flavor profile. We had the Chevre which had the best goat cheese ever and we also had the oysters (I know getting oysters in OKC can be scary but these were the best I've ever had!). The English beef ribs were amazing as well, the meat was super tender and the hush puppies were not too sweet but just perfect. The tagliatelle was also super good, I recommend that dish if you're looking for something not as healthy. It was also a cute restaurant inside it wasn't too big but it was a tad loud but I did enjoy the noise. The reason I didn't do five stars was because I thought the service wasn't anything to write home about. It was awkward at times because we wouldn't have silverware while food was on the table or we didn't have plates when our appetizers were out. Overall I would go back for the food! I look forward to trying the Grey Sweater!

On my first visit to Black Walnut, I was surprised how stark the restaurant was. It's has plenty of wood accents but still seems a bit cold and sterile. The food however is great. I sampled the beet salad and the bacon slab. The slab is more like stacked, pieces of thick cut bacon but still good. Branzino with couscous entree was nicely prepared.

Very overrated. The whole ambiance feels very cheap and the service was mediocre. Food was just okay, wouldn't go back. Overall very underwhelming.

Hi...return visitor from many moons ago. I've been planning a date with my man for SO LONG to get the tomahawk steak. We made it happen on a Wednesday night! And I will say we enjoyed literally everything other than the main course. Don't get me wrong...we are filled to the brim with tasty food. Highly recommend the OYSTER APP (we could eat 100 if we had the money) and the PORK BELLY APP (super sweet and tangy). Also highly enjoyed the Lobster bites as an appetizer (ask for extra lime to squeeze on top). We believe the steak would have been better served intact so we could slice the medium-rare meat and savor the juices. The mac'n'cheese was perfectly creamy. The veggies were sweet and tender. And the DRINKS-- whiskey fans should get the House and the Paper Airplane. Coffee lovers should sip the ESPRESS-YO-TINI to round off the evening. Lastly, let's shout out Mr. Neff and Ms. Kat who rocked the bar like they owned the place. We will return!

Just wow is all I can say about Black Walnut. Ever since thing we ate was phenomenal. Flavors were so spot on and by far the best place I've eaten at here in OKC. Service was great. Ambiance was lovely and quiet. The bar was super nice. I liked that it wasn't a huge place, it made it seem more intimate. Prices were also great for the quality of food. I cannot wait to be back!

My coworker and I went here just for the tomahawk steak. What a treat and what a great restaurant. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was juat as nice! He wanted the steak and I was just going to get something else but why let him have all of the fun?! Lol The steak was succulent and juicy and flavorful..just a great cut of meat. It came with veggies and mac n cheese. I stuck with eating the veggies since I'm low carb these days. So delicious!! If I'm ever in OKC, I will definitely visit. The food was that good!

Great friendly place, A must if you in Allen Tx area. Always enjoy a great brunch and staff always friendly.

To start off, I got the char grilled oysters and the jerk chicken lollipop. The oysters were mid only because I wasn't a fan of the Thai vinaigrette. As for the chicken lollipop, I did like them although if you're not a fan of spice, I wouldn't recommend getting them.. They are spicy!! As for my entrée. I got the iron medium, though it was cooked medium well with a side of mac & cheese, which was good but could've used a bit more flavor overall was pretty nice and filling!

We had a hankering for some dinner someplace that we knew would offer something new. Black Walnut immediately came to mind. This was our fourth or fifth visit to Black Walnut. The food was excellent. The chef consistently delivers on a menu of items that change with the season. Nothing way out in left field in terms of ingredients. The quality of the items and the unique preparation deliver a great meal every time for us. We shared the chèvre, a brussel caesar, and the cast iron strip steak. All three were outstanding. We also had a couple of cocktails. They were good, but focused almost exclusively on vodka variances. I preferred the drinks we ordered that are standard fare over the two that we ordered from their menu. They offer several unique cocktails, but they are almost all based on vodka or flavored vodka for now. The service was good for us. The overall dining experience can be somewhat distracting if you have a view of the street due to the total confusion of people trying to figure out where to go. The host stand isn't by the street side door (which isn't clearly labeled), it's across the restaurant by the elevator from the underground parking hallway. Additionally, people are always walking around outside confused because they are trying to go to the Grey Sweater (in the same building), but pulling on locked doors that look like they should go somewhere. The hostess ends up chasing them down outside as they wander up and down the street trying to figure out where to go. Go for the food, laugh at the crappy logistics, and order that favorite drink you have in your head. You won't be sorry!

Ah-Mazing food, service, atmosphere Make your reservation Ask for Portia! You won't regret it!

Food was delicious, but we went here expecting this to be more of a date night place. It's very echoey in here, and there was a very large party with a few kids there right in the middle of the restaurant. So it just made for a very loud experience. Service was great, drinks and food were awesome, but there should be somewhere besides the middle of the restaurant for larger parties, especially if you have kids with you.

Phenomenal atmosphere, food, drinks, and service. Warning.......the food portions are huge! We had some old fashions and appetizers. All were excellent. Both of us went with salads. The house salad is basically a head of lettuce. Justin had the strip and I the Beef ribs. Holy cow so much food! I really liked the honey hush puppies. Definitely a must visit.

The food was delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive. We didn't really love our first drinks, they made us new drinks which were great! We had a late lunch and we dined in the bar area it was clean, beautifully decorated and lots of natural light.

This was amazing! New favourite place in all of OKC!!! Went for our wedding anniversary staycation dinner. Best meal of the weekend.
