Amazing. I was recently in Tulsa for a weekend, and looking for a good steak. I was torn between a couple, and ended up picking Prhyme. I was really glad I did.
I went on a Friday night at 7:30p, and the the restaurant wasn't as full as I'd expect it to be. The bar area was bustling, but the dining area wasn't too busy.
Derek was our waiter, and he was awesome. Very knowledgeable and personable. One of the specials the night we went was King Crab legs, and my dining companion ordered those. They were beautiful and presented already cracked open in a plate with a bowl in the center for butter. I had a taste, and it was heaven. I believe him when he said they were flown in that morning.
I went with the prime ribeye with bone marrow butter. I'm normally a purist and don't sauce a beautiful steak, but Derek recommended a side of the veal demi to dip my steak in. I was blown away. It really amped up the beef flavor of the steak. My steak was cooked perfectly, and almost fork tender.
The sides were also amazing. The maque choux was my favorite, but the garlic smashed potatoes and bacon Brussels sprouts were also very good. It is hard to describe the maque choux. It is "creamed corn", but very different from the gross canned stuff. It is amazing, and I'm glad Derek recommended it.
All of this wonderful food, ambiance, and service does come at a higher price point than even the average higher end steakhouse. I think their extensive list of specials, wine list, and fresh seafood make it worth it.
Since we were visiting from out of town we asked Derek for some recommendations for some live music we could go to after dinner. He chatted with us about some places, and then came back later in the meal with a hand written note listing 5 places, the addresses, what they were known for, how far away they were, and if he recommended walking/driving/rider share to get there. That is service!
After our wonderful dinner we walked to the nearby Duet's that Derek recommended. It was a really cool space, however they were at capacity for the night.
We walked to the Hunt Club, and heard Grooveyard instead. Kind of an eclectic small crowd, but everyone was friendly and welcoming. We were on the patio, and enjoyed a really good time listening to some blues.
Thank you to Prhyme and especially Derek for a wonderful evening.
