Deliveroo Plans to Make Its Own Food and Replace Chefs and Riders With Robots | Eater London

"The barbecue chain pulled its offering from the delivery platform in March last year over fears that orders via the app were cannibalising its direct trade; the outlet has since returned to the service." - Soheb Panja

Absolutely fantastic meal at Bodeans! Everything we ordered was spot on—started with the shrimp and lobster bisque, which was rich and flavorful, and the wedge salad was fresh and crisp. The crab cakes were some of the best we’ve had, packed with crab and delicious. For mains, the bouillabaisse fisherman’s stew was loaded with fresh seafood in a delicious broth, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!

I took my husband here for his birthday and he was treated so special thanks to the staff. Our waiter was amazing and took his time to explain in detail everything we have asked about the menu. The atmosphere was calm and romantic and the restaurant was clean! As for the food, AMAZING. Ingredients tasted fresh and the water provided was cold and always topped off. They provided my husband a desert for his birthday as well as the menu for the night signed by the chef that said “Happy Birthday”. Lovely experience, will definitely be back.

Last night, I had dinner party with a group of 10 in the smaller private dining room. From the moment we entered the building, the service was impeccable. The manager graciously took a photo for me and then escorted each of us to our room with enthusiasm and a warm smile. Our waitress flawlessly took our orders without writing anything down, and every drink was served exactly as requested. She informed us about the specials and expertly managed our meal service. The staff delivered all our dishes simultaneously, presented beautifully. Every dish arrived hot and delicious. For anyone craving superb seafood and steak, Bodeans is the place to go. The staff is not only friendly and accommodating but also genuinely committed to ensuring every guest enjoys the finest dining experience possible.

Had the most wonderful birthday dinner with my granddaughter last night! The staff is so lovely and the food was exquisite, atmosphere warm and welcoming. Don’t miss the opportunity of dining at this Tulsa legendary restaurant. I have had the honor of dining in some fine restaurants in NYC and beyond. Bodeans stands head to head with internationally acclaimed ding experiences.

Chef Swepston’s cuisine blends modern Cajun and creole influences, with a menu that evolves to highlight seasonal specials. During my visit, the featured dish was rabbit, showcasing the restaurant's creativity and range. Bodean’s aesthetic is a perfect blend of elegance, modernity, romance, and intimacy. The dark walls, painted in shades of black and gray, are accented by touches of blown glass and soft creams, creating a striking yet inviting atmosphere. Its layout, is reminiscent of a luxurious ocean liner. passionate and enthusiastic about Bodean. Overall, excellent service. Our water glasses were full, silverware and plating was swapped between courses. Chef’s Selection of Cheese & Charcuterie Arguably, Chef Swepston crafts the best charcuterie board in Tulsa—perhaps even all of Oklahoma. This is the penultimate Cheese & Charcuterie board, with an absolutely perfect balance of selections. His expertly curated array of meats and cheeses balances floral, salty, sweet, and tangy notes. Highlights included the Negroni Italian Blue, with its sweet vermouth and tangy blue cheese notes. Escargot Vol-au-vent This dish opens with bold notes of boozy red wine and garlic, transitioning into slightly bitter middle notes of escargot and herbs, and finishing with the rich flavors of puff pastry and butter. The balance of salty, sweet, and bitter is an good appetizer. Fried Calamari The calamari featured a well-executed breading and a unique spin on traditional sweet chili sauce, which was the standout element of the dish. Only the body of the squid was used, cut into rings without tentacles. The fry was expertly done, achieving a tender texture without being overly chewy. It is a good dish not at the same level or caliber as the previous offerings. Rabbit Confit with oyster mushrooms, kale, calabrese peppers, fig, and rabbit consommé The rabbit leg is cooked to perfection, tender enough to fall off the bone. Its delicate flavor is elevated by the rich, salty, nutty butter it was poached in for hours. The addition of fig brings a beautiful sweetness that perfectly balances the savory rabbit, while the Calabrese peppers add a tangy acidity to each bite. Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops with pomegranate, fried yucca, pickled fresno, butter toasted pecan, en nogada sauce Chef Swepston knocks on the door of borderline transcendent. The dish is a masterclass of exploration and flavors. The scallops were cooked to perfection, their delicate flavor never overwhelmed by the dish’s other elements. Sweet, sour, nutty, salty, and buttery notes were expertly explored. A borderline pièce de résistance dish. Stone Crab Stroganoff with house made egg noodles, duxelles, cream, sour cream, and parmesan cheese. Our final savory course continues to knock on the door of pièce de résistance. The rich duxelle and cream sauce delivered an earthy depth, with tangy sour cream notes rounding out each bite. The stone crab claw meat provided the perfect protein, offering a robust sweetness that harmonized beautifully with the sauce's slightly sour, slightly salty, and decadently rich profile.A dish on the high end of excellent. Chocolate Dome A Bodean classic, this dessert is visually stunning. It showcases a delightful contrast of textures, from the light and airy chocolate mousse to the crunchy, slightly sweet-and-salty chocolate cookie crust. Summary: Bodean continues to be the quintessential fine dining destination in Tulsa. Its offerings are sophisticated without being pretentious, its atmosphere upscale yet inviting, and its seafood remains unquestionably the best in the city. When Chef Swepston lets his creativity run wild with dishes like the scallops, rabbit, and charcuterie, the heart and soul of a "raging Cajun" are on full display, and all of Tulsa is the better for it.

If you like an intimate experience with good food, then you've found the right place. A reservation is recommended and very much encouraged (required). I decided to visit Bodean for my first time on what could be one of the busiest days of the year, Valentines Day. Keep in mind that this is also my anniversary to my wife of 8 years. Not only does the day alone mean a lot to my wife and I, but my father who passed back on Christmas 2022 wanted to take us to Bodean's to enjoy some of the best salmon he has had locally. Outside of the two major reasons of visiting, we were excited and love seafood. We had no issues with our reservation and were promptly seated. The place was dimly lit yet had lighting that focused directly on the table. White table cloth, quiet, and a fireplace with a fire flickering nearby. Our waitress promptly grated us with a smile. We simply ordered water's and no appetizers. After a short review of the menu, we knew exactly what we wanted. The wife went with the scallops while I went the sea bass. After a short wait, our entrees arrived. The food was not only prepared properly but looked like art on the plate. Freshness was the first thing you noticed, followed by the simple yet complex pairing of flavors. Scallops were seared with care placed in a light red plate of pureed strawberry sauce.

As a private chef, Im always looking for the best ingredients. Quality seafood is difficult to find in the mid-west. However, Matt and the rest of the crew at Bodeans have it figured out. Quality, fresh, delicious seafood flown in daily. The only thing better than their product is their customer service. Matt has gone above and beyond my expectations! And I set them pretty high! Highly recommended from one foodie to the next!

Just enjoyed a lovely evening at Bodean. Our server, Michelle, was outstanding. She provided great explanations about fish I was not familiar with and how it would be prepared. All of the food was delicious. We started with the shrimp & lobster bisque, which had plenty of meat along with an amazing, creamy soup. Entrees of king crab stroganoff and New Zealand Groper were excellent. I substituted the blue crab risotto for the mashed potatoes that came with the groper. The dining room is perfect for table conversation.

My husband and I love to go to Bodean's for date night. The ambience is very romantic. The food is savory and delicious. Their fish is always fresh, dessert is amazing, and the wine list is extensive. Service is perfect! The wait staff is knowledgeable about the menu, including the wines. My hubby and I highly recommend.

I got treated to a birthday dinner at Bodean's tonight. It was my first time and will definitely not be the last. The food and service were impeccable. We started off with Prince Edward Island oysters. My mom is obsessed with malpeque oysters and now I might be too. The flavor was the perfect sweet and salty, unlike other oysters I've tried. Other delicious appetizers we ordered: yellowfin tuna tartare, clam chowder, gumbo. My husband was slightly disappointed with the gumbo. Our waitress said there was chicken and andouille sausage but he didn't see any chicken. It's not a big deal but I guess he was looking forward to the chicken. For our entrees, I ordered a surf & turf - 8oz wagyu ribeye and 2 scallops. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus along with a Demi glaze on the side. I believe the glaze normally comes on top of the ribeye but our waitress decided it was best on the side. Good choice! I wasn't very fond of the Demi glaze. My husband and mom both ordered the sea bass. They really enjoyed the vegetable medley and fried leeks that came with the dish. At the end of our dinner, I was given a dessert to go because my goodness, I was so full! Still am, actually! We were also given complimentary coffee cakes. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a great night!

One word: AMAZING Stopped by after work at 7 PM and the place was packed. Luckily, if you have a party of 2 or less, you can sit at the bar without making reservation. The food here is delicious but portion size is rather small so don't expect to be full, maybe with the bread. I was told the popular items are oysters and Chilean sea bass so I ordered these naturally. The oysters are supposedly shipped from 3 different places: LA, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference as they all taste the same to me. I would say get the biggest ones because one of them is so small but all I could taste is the sauce. The Chilean seabass is the best I've eaten. Being seared is why I really like it. The inside is moist and sweet yet still has a strong texture to the meat. It's not too soft which is perfect to me. Everything else goes really well with it, particularly the fried leeks, amazing. The server asked me how the food was at the end. I told him "Delicious but I am still hungry and I can't afford any more money." He just laughed and didn't say anything in response. Honestly, you could skip the alcohol or wine to save money. You could get these at a lower price elsewhere. I plan to comeback and try the tuna.

People in Tulsa have been raving about Bodeans for as long as I can remember. Is it because of Jethro and Tulsa's love affair with the Beverly Hillbillies? Possibly. My parents tried it when I was in college and came back marveling at how the servings were so small they needed a magnifying glass--and the prices? Let's just say they weren't thrilled. Never one to follow my parents' culinary advice, I've gone a few times with friends. The ambiance is pure "classic yuppie date night," and the service? Always top-notch. But the food? Let's just say it didn't leave me speechless. For the money, it's not exactly what I'd call a bargain. Tulsa has plenty of better seafood joints, like Waterfront Grill and White River. I'd place Bodeans somewhere closer to Red Lobster than Bonefish Grill. So, if you're on the hunt for seafood in Tulsa, there are definitely way better options out there swimming around.

Always a treat to go to this hidden gem. Easy to forget about this place because it's kind of hidden away and they don't need to advertise. I also almost always eat the Chef'Special presuming that the fish is fresh. I was delicious and the service is on point. Bonus sister, stop by the market and get some fresh fish to go.

Bodean's has been a long-time establishment in Tulsa. I hadn't been in years so for date night my husband and I chose to come here. We started with drinks, then ordered the escargot appetizer. Although it's not the typical escargot with the warm butter, it was still very tasty. Our entrees were salmon and grouper. The salmon was fabulous!! The grouper was great as well, but if I return I'm definitely ordering the salmon. For a fine dining restaurant, the service was good not great. I think it was honestly just the personable demeanor that was lacking. But she did answer our questions about menu items and returned promptly with drink/food items. We will be back to Bodean's again!

There is plenty of parking for the restaurant as it is part of a larger plaza. You walk into the restaurant and are greeted by a medium sized fish tank. We had reservations for date night and were seated right away. The interior has dimmed lights and several booths with tables in the middle, a perfect date night setting. Our waitress was lovely and mindful when we mentioned different food allergies. The Caesar salad had a great dressing, one of my favorites creamy and the right amount of flavor. The gumbo was delicious, hearty and flavorful with 4 different meats. We both enjoyed our entrees. I had the salmon and the Brussel sprouts were excellent. It was an interesting pairing with the navy beans but I liked it. I had flowers in my Brussel sprouts which made my plate very colorful. My husband enjoyed the trout, artichokes and fingerling potatoes. During dinner we discussed when we would try on our next visit.

Easily the best restaurant I've been to in Tulsa. I'm from California and love seafood so I went in with low expectations having seafood in a landlocked state. But wow!! The scallops and tuna were cooked to perfection. Seasoned perfectly. The mousse was the best finish to the meal. They apparently take 3 days to make those with all the steps needed. Definitely coming back!!

Wanting to reiterate how great it is to have BODEAN in T-Town ... Their team strives to be the best on every front. And, if you have not already found their superb Tuna Tartare ... best appetizer in town, hands down! Go visit Jimmy, he's the man.

I actually ate here many years ago while visiting my best friend in Tulsa. I've been here twice, once we sat next to the kitchen and another was in the back room. We knew a fishmonger at the fish market, so that's how we knew to try this place. It is pricey, but very fair for the amazing seafood you get. On par with any seafood in Dallas, etc. Each time we like to splurge and get three courses each! Salmon, cod, halibut, seafood pasta, oysters, calamari, crepe brûlée, their specialty chocolate dome thing. All amazing. Can't wait to return!

We opted for a St. Valentine's take-out. Cannot express how perfect the food was as well as Jimmy at the bar helping out. At home, we dined on delicious Seared Yellowfin Tuna, Broiled Coldwater Lobster Tails and Wagyu Ribeye - without missing anything (it can happen in take-outs!). Thank you!

We are Midwest transplants from the west coast and we were missing good, fresh seafood. Bodeans' didn't disappoint. It was our 34th anniversary and they made it very special. I had the scallops. They were huge, buttery and melted in your mouth. My husband had the cioppino. It was loaded with all kinds of seafood. Oh so good. We had exceptional service despite the place being very busy. The ambiance was very romantic for our anniversary. We will DEFINITELY be back.

Well the hubby and I adventured the Bodean's for takeout dinner. It took a bit to find. This was recommended to us by a friend.(next time we will checkout the market side of the business). The company was enjoyable. Upon entering though, it is a little visually confusing, until you hear the staff at the host stand/desk. The restaurant was well laid out for the size space they have. On this adventure my husband chose the crab cakes and lobster pasta, and I got the cheese& charcuterie board & crab risotto to bring back home. It was definitely worth the price. Delicious all around, especially if you do not want fried items for dinner. Great beginning to Spring! (PS: this is a great place for anniversary dinner).

I think I got overexcited when I made reservations here on 2/29...I saw rave reviews on this place, picture perfect, appetizing photos, and hoots on the great service. Great service, yes.. We started with the cockles/mussels appetizer, which we thoroughly enjoyed since we are dippers-of-bread in the garlic sauce type of people. But I was quite disappointed when I ordered the orange roughy with the green beans/tomatoes and the king crab risotto. The roughy was good, not great....and the green beans were luke warm, like it's been sitting out awhile...and the king crab risotto??? Utter disappointment! Where the heck was the king crab?! My plate seemed like the food were all different temperatures! My husband ordered the Sesame Crusted Yellow Fin Tuna with the chilled soba noodles. He enjoyed the tuna, not so much the noodles cold, but warmed the next day. He also order a filet on the side with sautéed mushrooms. That was good! Overall, I was disappointed. I wanted the Ruth Chris experience where the caliber of great dishes are just a given. Oh well, I can't have it all! But I was told by our server that the menu does change daily...that sounds like a good thing ;)

We had a delightful dinner for our anniversary! The service here is always perfection. The meal was outstanding! They make the absolute best Caesar Salad and the toast point with olive is an excellent addition. The lo mein was stunningly delightful! Not for the feint of heart, it's got a serious (seriously delish) kick to it! If you're ever wanting an amazing private party, the most memorable birthday party I've ever been to was here! In a private room with 30 guests, the restaurant had 1 server for every quest. They lined behind our chairs and all set out meals down in perfect unison! And, with that many people, it was still absolute perfection!

Sorry. I wanted to like it. I was in town on a business trip. Heard great things about Bodean. Shawna our server was great. The crab cakes were excellent. Both of us ordered salmon. Both of our salmon was the driest, most overcooked salmon I've ever had. I really should have sent it back. For $47 & small piece at that, at least cook it right.

Our experience wasn't the best. Service was very slow at the beginning, but the staff was very nice and apologetic about the wait. The calamari and sea bass were good, but everything else was just okay. I don't think the quality or quantity align with their prices, but I would maybe give it another try.

Savory, creative seafood. Great ambience. The service staff find the balance between attentiveness and privacy. Great place to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. We ordered different things and it's hard to say which one I like better. The vegetables on each dish, cleverly integrated into the overall flavor, were seasoned uniquely, but deliciously. Recommended, if your budget allows..

Last night was shaping up to be a home dinner party disaster until Bodean's swooped in to save the day! Just as our guests were pulling into the driveway, we were scrambling to salvage the situation with an unusual to-go order. Huge shoutout to Kieron, Jimmy, and the kitchen crew. They whipped up our order in record time. So, here's to the heroes at Bodean Seafood Restaurant Tulsa - you guys' rock!

Bodean is the best place in Tulsa for fresh seafood. We frequent both the market and restaurant often. My favorite menu items are the oysters and the Bouillabaisse (fisherman's stew). The service is always friendly and attentive. Also, we have appreciated how well versed the servers are on the menu items. We sometimes like to sit in the bar area where reservations are not required.

If you are visiting or live in Oklahoma and like fish cooked PERFECTLY (and no, not fried freakin catfish)... GO TO BODEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not regret it! I am a self-admitted fish snob born and raised in NYC and lived all over the world, and THIS is the place to go for fresh fish cooked amazingly in Oklahoma!!!!!! Forget any "TV chef" that may open restaurants in the state... that fish is awful. Bodean wins all of my heart and tastebuds!!!!!!!!!!!!! The steak and other items are also outstanding! As I said earlier, GO TO BODEAN!!!!!!

Bodes 's food is always delicious. The Seafood is fresh and as good as you get on the East Coast. The service is fantastic, you're treated like a VIP, they're attentive but not overly interruptive as you are engaging in conversation with your party. I love the feel of the restaurant too, the tables are nicely spaced so even if you are dining at a table and not a booth you have privacy.

Quiet atmosphere, we could actually have a conversation. The food was excellent. We split the lobster dinner and we ordered an extra salad. The salad was wonderful and I could've made a meal of it. For dessert they brought out a large chocolate bowl with molten chocolate on the inside. It was better than you could imagine

Went for dinner last night and all I can say is WOW!! Hands-down some of the best seafood I've ever had, Unequivocally the best Seabass (Chilean) and scallops that were cooked to perfection. I had the Seabass and it had an excellent polymorphic flavor profile that straddled the line between savory and sweet nicely. The sea bass was juicy and topped with a wonderful maltaise sauce. The pan seared scallops were to die for served over sweet cabbage topped with tomatillo chutney and genovese sauce. These dishes were absolutely superb. Also had a oyster Rockefeller that was served on a bed of sea- salt (unfortunately some salt got into the oyster making it pretty much inedible, management was quick to replace the oysters). All in all great ambience, decor could be updated a bit. This would be be great for date night, Celebrating a special occasion. Wonderful dining experience, definitely going back soon!

Bodean's is a great seafood restaurant. But honestly it did not knock our socks off. It is good but we got the surf & turf special and for the price, the strip steak was not that great. The crab topping was good. They had a snag cooking it but brought out a shrimp appetizer which was very nice. The service deserves 5 stars for sure. I also ordered the Caesar salad- it's good. The dressing is not creamy just an FYI. As far as nice seafood places go, this is one of the best options in town but as far as good seafood and a good value - I'll stick with White River. One of the best parts of the night was our private room for our group. We didn't ask for it nor did we have to pay extra but it was great!

It was my b'day and I chose Bodean Seafood because, quite frankly, I hadn't been there since years ago as a group of parent chaperones we "borrowed" the limo from our partying kids and had a wonderful time at Bodean's. A friend declared that night, "Oh, let's do this every weekend!" Alas, life gets in the way. We were minutes ahead of our reservation, but were graciously seated tout suite. Derek was our waiter. Ask for him. He knows his job and has a sense of humor. In looking at the pictures and reading the reviews the menu is constantly changing which is the way it should be. The menu offerings for August 31st were outstanding. My table enjoyed the scollops, steak w/ gnocchi & the Halibut. We started w/ the calamari. There was more than enough for three people to share. This evening the scallops were served w/ a southwestern flair. It was incredible! Notice the heirloom tomatoes, corn & avocado. Perfumed w/ cilantro, they were seared to perfection. I tasted the gnocchi, it too was crisped. I had the Marcona almond crusted Halibut which sat atop a mushroom tart w/ a touch of caviar on top. Delish! I didn't really peruse the wine list, but it is hefty. However, I immediately found a Russian River Valley Chardonnay BTG on the back of the menu for $8. It was perfect. Service was impeccable. And we all laughed when an overly enthusiastic server topped off hubby's Pepsi w/ iced tea. I'd return in a heartbeat. Yea, it's a tad pricey, but you get what you pay for. And for this overall experience, it was well w/in reason. Almost forgot: they send you home w/ a complimentary coffee cake for breakfast, pristinely boxed and, wow, it's delicious!

I really like this restaurant. Their seafood is always fresh and very well prepared, but for business groups it's a crap shoot. The wait staff had no respect for the meeting and speaker we were listening to. It's like they didnt know how to be quiet when there's someone speaking. A large group of waiters busted into the room, clanking plates and talking loudly. IMO they could have waited 3 minutes for the speaker to finish talking. It was the rudest thing I've ever witnessed. They also kept leaving the door to our room open when they would come in and out.
