We had my son’s rehearsal dinner here. Very professional staff and the food was delicious. The menu for our guests gave them a choice of beef or fish, along with all the trimmings. Before dinner, there was a cocktail hour, with a beautiful display of fruit and assorted cheeses, as well as the house bruschetta, which is outstanding. The grand finale was their white chocolate bread pudding. Once you have that, your life will be complete!

Loved (again) the grilled Caesar salad and the bacon jam starter (it’s larger than I remembered). Tried the crab cake/fried and green tomato starter as my main and it was just right. My husband had the brisket over cheese grits - very tasty. I had the bourbon cocktail with Campari and he had the sazarac, both fine. Highly recommend this restaurant when you are in Tulsa, I always come here at least once per trip.

There was little by way not vegetarian food and vegetables in general; I contented myself with the fish which was average. The restaurant is a popular hangout so crowded and noisy but with booths and a very full menu. I was neither impressed nor unimpressed. Service, however, was very good.

Naples Flatbread Kitchen & Bar

Uniquely mainstream comfort foods served in an upbeat, casual chic atmosphere. We’re not like anyone else…Slightly Italian, lightly Asian, but definitely All American. A hot spot for Downtown Tulsa lunch or dinner, and perfect for pre or post-event drinks

Went here to get a takeout meal & ordered the lasagna. Got back to my hotel & tried to eat it, but it was almost completely dry with no sauce at all. Honestly, it tasted like it was leftover from the day before. I would never recommend this place to anyone!We apologize for your bad lasagna experience. We are always happy to re-make your dish or add more sauce. The lasagna is a popular dish and this is certainly not representative of our reputation. Thank you for your feedback, we understand your disappointment, but hope you will try us again so we can deliver a satisfying experience.

Mahogany Prime Steakhouse

This is a restaurant where steak is the star – where great steak is the rule, not the exception. Service will be outstanding but provided in a casual, less intimidating fine-dining atmosphere.

Reviewed By 4austin

This newly relocated Tulsa staple has shined up like a copper penny. The decor is modern and sharp and the building well situated amongst other trending locals. The menu, as always, covers your favorites with their extra Mahogany flare. The seafood appetizer is so delightful and plentiful that it is enough for several guests to share. Order your preferred cut of marbled beef, grilled to perfection, with three tempting dippings - if you like. The amazing sides are all available to choose from. Lobster mac’n’cheese, asparagus spears w hollandaise, all dressed mashed potatoes are my weakness. The service is exceptional. Several times over dinner on our anniversary we were congratulated by managers - each confirming that our dining experience was to our liking. They even sent a lovely dessert to our table. Book a reservation, and enjoy. Business casual to cocktail dress.

We had planned to eat somewhere else but roadworks and a GPS which couldn’t cope put an end to that. We had Nora’s down as another option and our GPS managed to get us there! And we were so pleased we ended up there. I had the Shrimp Creole and rice which was terrific with loads of veggies and great creole sauce. My wife had a dish with crab and shrimp which was equally good. Service was very good too.
