The Long Overdue Villa Ravenna Post

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about Villa Ravenna.  Ask anyone I know – coworkers, family, friends, randoms on the street, and they will tell you if I’m ever asked where do I LOVE to eat, I will always reply Villa Ravenna. It is undoubtedly my favorite restaurant in Tulsa. In [...]

Jennifer’s Birthday Celebration at The Melting Pot!

To celebrate the birth of my awesome sister, Jennifer, we decided to take the lovely Leo on a special night out at The Melting Pot.  What screams birthday love more than hot, gooey cheese and rich melty chocolate?  I really can’t think of anything.

“Lobster for Breakfast” at Bodean Restaurant (Freaking Amazing)

Next week is Eric’s birthday so for an early celebration we decided to have dinner at one of his favorite places – Bodean Seafood Restaurant!  We typically only make it to dinner there a couple times a year, and those times are for very special occasions.  You could have a dinner at Bodean’s without breaking [...]

SMOKE on Cherry Street – Woodfire Grillin’ & Classy Cuisine

SMOKE on Cherry Street has been on my radar ever since they took over the vacant building which once was the Bourbon St. Cafe.  While it lay vacant with a for sale banner I pondered what it would become.  My first thought was a bar, or better yet a restaurant.  The folks at SMOKE took both [...]

An Ultimate Feast: Surf & Turf at McGill’s!

Special occasions, like Friday night date night with my sweetie, deserve a very special meal sometimes.  After a particularly long work week I was hankering for a really good meal with great service.  Having been to McGill’s quite a few times and never disappointed by both the quality of food and waitstaff that’s where we decided to go.

Brady Tavern – A Pork Lover’s Paradise!

Last night was our first visit to Brady Tavern. It felt a little weird pulling up to the spot where Lola’s once was to find a new Tulsa hot spot.  The food and service at Lola’s was hit or miss but I will never forget their amazing chocolate & raspberry cake and the unique Dia de los [...]

Osaka Steakhouse of Japan: Hot Flames and Cool Drinks

Osaka

My family and I recently checked out the new Osaka Steakhouse at 11016 East 81st Street for a tasty and entertaining meal. As with most Japanese table-side steakhouses, we got a huge meal and our chef kept us laughing and in awe of his shrimp tossing, fire making, onion volcano building skills. While we waited for [...]

The Brasserie Restaurant and Bar – Tres Magnifique!

The Brassiere

My husband and I were married on a crisp Autumn day in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  One thing in particular that sticks out from that magical day is the amazing menu we had: a fresh seafood bar, cheese & fruit bar, steaks with crab, chocolate ganache cake and bubbly flowing from every table. Since we were unable to [...]
