My mom is visiting Oklahoma for the first time from Indianapolis. We just moved here from Columbus, OH and haven't been to many restaurants yet. We have, however, been to Waters Edge in BA. I was so excited to take my mom there because we loved the food, wine, and decor. (Service both times was slow but friendly.) This time was a huge disappointment. We were told to seat ourselves, so we picked a table out of 4 others that were open. There were 3 servers working, but wasn't overly busy. (About 2pm on a Friday.) A waitress came over after about 5 minutes and asked what we wanted to drink. My mom ordered an iced tea. I asked for a water and a taste of their driest rosé. (We have ordered bottles of Sauvignon blanc, so I wanted to try something new.) She walked away before I could tell her what my children wanted. I never got my rosé sample and we waited 22 more minutes without any interaction. Therefore, we sadly left. She never smiled at us, apogized for the wait or even said she'll be with us momentarily. It's like we were invisible.
We had two hungry children and (now) 2 hangry adults. We tried The Rooftop just down the street. We were sat right away and greeted within seconds by Arianna. She was personable, warm, and very welcoming. She recommended the pulled pork sliders for my mom and she was not disappointed! (I was actually jealous I didn't order them, lol.) I had a wedge salad with a side of French fries. My daughter had a scrumptious, gooey kids grilled cheese and my son had the kids pizza which was huge! (Only $5 for his pizza and his drink. Whaaaat?!) We sat outside and it was a lovely setting. The flowers around us were well taken care of, the entire restaurant/patio was clean, and every server was attentive. Our drinks were always filled. Arianna gave us lots of recommendations about Tulsa, and the food was terrific. I can't wait to bring my husband next time. Thank you for saving the day, Rooftop!
