Just don't go here…read more I've lived here for 5 years and by far the worst restaurant experience I have had in Oklahoma, and if you see my other reviews I'm pretty forgiving and tend to give spots the benefit of the doubt. This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here. From the health violations and poor food safety I saw in the kitchen, the multiple tables I witnessed sending back food to the multiple parties puzzled as to why they weren't being sat or once they were entirely ignored... it was so wildly bad I was embarrassed for everyone else having the same experience. Again, don't go.

Redrock Canyon Grill - Lake Hefner…read more First visit--and I can confidently say this place just earned a spot in our regular date night rotation. We walked in to a packed house, which is always a good sign, but were seated immediately. From there, the experience never missed a beat. Beverly took care of us and was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do, and it shows. We started with margaritas, and when Beverly said they were "perfect," she wasn't overselling it. Smooth, well-balanced, and served ice cold. We're both olive fans, so of course we asked for extras--and they delivered without hesitation. Going in, we made a deal: appetizers or dessert--not both. After hearing about the pineapple upside-down cake with vanilla ice cream, that decision was made pretty quickly. For the main course, Beverly walked us through the menu and the weekly specials: * Rainbow trout with roasted peppers and cucumber salad * 14 oz peppercorn crusted steak with mashed potatoes, broccoli & parmesan I know my wife--steak was the obvious choice for her. I went with the trout. Both dishes were excellent. The trout was cooked perfectly with a light, flavorful sauce that didn't overpower the fish, and the vegetables were fresh and well-prepared. The steak was cooked just right, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes and broccoli finished with parmesan. What really elevated the night was the hospitality. Kirsten, the manager, stopped by to check on us and took the time to have a genuine conversation. She shared details about patio seating and upcoming live music nights, which we're already planning to come back for. Then came a surprise--she graciously covered our dessert. A classy move that didn't go unnoticed. And that pineapple upside-down cake? Warm, soft, topped with melting vanilla ice cream... absolutely worth skipping the appetizers for. The Bottom Line: Great food, exceptional service, and a relaxed but polished atmosphere right on Lake Hefner. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, this is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice evening out.

Large and lively establishment - I love how they had The Princess Bride playing on the big screen (muted). Definitely a good spot for groups.

The place is understatedly cool, with immaculate vibes. I honestly felt not COOL enough to be there. Nonetheless, we ordered a couple drinks, in which the classic margarita put hair on my chest. My partner ordered the carrot cake bourdon drink on the current winter cocktail menu and he loved it. If i like bourbon i would have loved it too. What a unique drink! We ordered the Ceviche and an order of street tacos each. All amazing dishes. The Ceviche actually had the perfect ratio of chips to dip - a feat - and both tacos were amazing too! I ordered the carnitas and my partner ordered the carne asada, both good but the carnitas were def a stand out! if you are looking for a chill, yet trendy spot, add Palo Santo to your list.

The patio space in the front was very secluded and lush, we had it entirely to ourselves. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. They even brought out a water bowl with ice for our pups. We loved our drinks. My espresso martini was boozy and not too sweet with a love whipped topping on top. Her Road to Hana was very refreshing and the pineapple tajin garnish hit the spot. Quick shout out to the dinner rolls and butter. I was starving so this held me over while our shareables came out. The Spicy Caesar was nice, loved the hit of heat that came with it. The Chicken Pepperjack Strudel, a signature dish, was really really good. Just wish it was warmer in the center but yea definitely order this. Juan's queso is not a typical queso dish. First, it's real cheese and it comes with a black bean puree, salsa verde, and avocado thinly sliced on top. We loved it, especially my wife. If you're in search of a higher end dining experience in OKC, Cheever's is a must.

I came here with a large group of about 8 of us with a reservation made early on. We were seated in a nice, private room and had an overall very lovely experience! First of all, our server Trey was just spot on with all of his recommendations. He recommended the crab cakes, the halibut, and anything that came with the spicy shrimp risotto. Our table got crab cakes to start, and this was probably my favorite dish of the evening! The crab cake was large, fluffy, and full of lump crab topped with a spicy and delicious salsa verde and pico. For the entree I ordered the halibut which was cooked well, but the side of spicy shrimp risotto definitely stole the show (as Trey accurately predicted). Most of our party ordered this and everyone was pretty happy with it! For dessert, our table shared chocolate cake and the coconut creme pie. The chocolate cake was very rich and was probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've had, and I'm not a big chocolate cake person. I still definitely preferred the coconut creme pie, which I would order again next time! Our service was fantastic for the evening, and when Trey tells you to order something, trust him and do it!

All secondary roads are still snow packed so at 11:30 there was only one other couple in the restrauant. The Press is in an old (1920's ?) repourposed building. The interior is comfortable, charming and a bit whimsical. We started with an order of cheese sticks. They were very good and large. I liked that the cheese sticks did not have Italian seasoning in the breading. Jan ordered the chicken fried ribeye with mashed potatoes, cream gravey and green beans. Jan loved it. I took a bite of the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. The green beans were very good. They were loaded with garlic, which I love, but if you're not a garlic fan, I would suggest another side. I ordered the grilled chicked sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich was good and the waffle fries were excellent. The portions are large and the food quality excellent. The prices reasonable. The menu has variety. You can't go wrong by dining at The Press.

My significant other is Korean and actually thought MAHT was even better than Birdie's, which says a lot. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

We tried to make reservations in January and the first available opening was for March 24th. The venue was previously the Drake. MAHT has definitely improved the decor with its modern elegance. It has an energetic vibe. The menu has breath and depth that will accommodate a wide range of tastes. The service is good. It was a bit noisy at times, but overall not too bad. The prices are on the high end. We started with a Cab Sav an order of Parker house rolls and the ceasar salad. The rolls are good but I'm not a fan of fancy infused butter (chili crunch honey butter). Just give me plain butter. We shared a ceasar. The ceasar salad was epic! Loved it! Liked the shaved romaine, loved the crispy chili chickpea crunch and the generous topping of finely shredded parmsean. For our entrees were shared the 12 ounce filet. It was lovely. Cooked to order, wonderful flavor and almost melted in your mouth. We finished by each getting an affagato. We were introduced to Affagatos while living in Australia. They are hard to come by in OKC, but some restrauants while not having Affagatos on the menu will have the necessary ingredients. If you are not familiar with affagatos An affogato is a simple, decadent Italian dessert consisting of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream "drowned" in a hot shot of espresso. In Australia they add a shot of walnut liqueur. Hazlenut liqueur is an acceptable replacement for walnut liqueur as it is hard to find, espically in restrauants. MAHT has walnut liqueur. The combination creates a contrast of hot and cold, bitter and sweet. Love affagatos. We had a great evening!

The chips and dips was great too. Loved the queso!!! I once had a fabulous portobello mushroom sandwich here but it is not on the menu anymore. I went with the Herbivore because I thought it would be similar. It wasn't. It was OK but was a super mess to eat and I really didn't care for the beets that were included on it. Messy sandwiches are kind of a theme here and is by no means a condemnation! Elote was the seasonal side offering and it was delicious with a huge dollop of mayo sauce and even more finely grated cojita! It was a pretty hefty serving and I should have just had that for lunch! Service was good for a busy late lunch. This is always a solid option in the plaza district.
