    Sushi roll
    Jay C.

    This place doesn't strike me with confidence. The food was OK but it doesn't operate like you would expect for the price point.

    Atomic Volcano Sushi

    The food was great, but the sushi was by far the best item we had. Service was fantastic and the only real complaint I'd have is the limited menu.

    Went to this place last night, got too hammered to leave a review! Found this place while roaming the damn good city after leaving the money grab. This place was connected to a renaissance hotel which made me very jealous since I was staying in the La Quinta with the EQ! The food was alright but this bar menu was something else! I tried their old fashion of course (3 of them ;p) . After I thought i'd see their take on the Massapequa iced tea, the water got confused so I told him I would make it myself! After this I got dragged out of the place by my ankles and lost one of my shoes. If anyone seeing this sees my shoe please contact me! Leaving the south today and dreading going back home to the Island and working at 4:30 am tmrw.

    Several people have mentioned Culprits to me, so I knew that was next on my list to try. The food is delicious, vibes are high, and they have an amazing mocktail selection. I ordered a steak and the flaming scallops and it was by far one of my favorite meals I've had since moving to OKC .

    We are never disappointed with our visits to this establishment. Their flaming scallops are always delicious. Our drinks were amazing, and the team was very attentive, friendly, and fun to be around. The ambiance is just what's needed for any occasion.

    The food was good but the atmosphere would keep us from coming back. The vibe is very hotel lobby and the main audience is the hotel guests - who are dressed very casual. We tried many things on the menu and a couple of different drinks. The oysters were fresh, the sushi was literally flaming hot (it came on fire), but the drinks were middle level and I had to send my first drink back.

    Saturday 11/02/2024 5:00pm I came in without a reservation and they were able to accommodate the 3 of us since most were reserved for larger parties. Interior was modern, dim lit, atmosphere was enjoyable. Definitely a good place to go grab a drink. Server- was good and knowledgeable of the menu We ordered Appetizers Chow Calamari- 1/5- batter was mushy and barely crisp, calamari was hard rubber, aioli was bland, sweet thai chile is basically sweet and sour sauce, feels like it was precooked already Overall-flavorless rubber Flaming Scallops-3/5- good sear, scallops were tender and sweet, presentation is nice, garlic butter was just regular butter Overall needed salt and garlic Atomic Volcano Roll- 2/5- tempura fry was crisp, decent flavor, rice was mushy, scallops were inedible, mostly cream cheese, coated with sweet and sour sauce Overall- I'll go to a sushi restaurant for sushi Entrees Chicken Fried Ribeye-1/5-gravy and tiny serving of Gouda mash was good, "ribeye" had texture of jerky and gravy couldn't save it, and creme corn was basically cold corn mixed with mayonnaise, and why put the mash on top of the ribeye and not on the side like the corn???? Overall- Flavorless and poor execution N.Y. Strip w/ Black Garlic Butter-2/5- asked for medium and somewhat tender, top section was medium well, middle section was medium, bottom section was medium rare from one cut of N.Y. Strip. Black garlic butter carried the steak and still lack salt. Overall- needs salt and bad execution Overall- Flavorless and needs more R&D Thanks for reading Hope your experience was better than mine

    The scallop appetizer

    The food and service at Culprits was fantastic. The restaurant is the ground floor of the hotel which makes it very inviting and makes you want to stay a while.

    My first visit to Culprits was perfect. From the friendly staff to the drinks and mouth watering meal! I was not disappointed. It is a smaller restaurant so reservations are definitely recommended. I will be returning when I downtown for an event.

    Love the choice in their signature cocktails and the names! They also offer the classics
    Lynne P.

    This bar/restaurant is located inside the sleek Renaissance hotel. We had been on a two day road trip and this was a beautiful place to unwind with a cocktail. The menu was unique with signature cocktails such as the "One in the Chamber" bourbon drink or the Hotsy Totsy Spritz - vodka blackberry drink. The service was slow at first but once the server came she was extremely friendly and attentive. We did not eat dinner or appetizers, but we had an excellent breakfast in the morning which I recommend.

    Tar tar, poke nachos, scallops
    Michael P.

    Culprits in a word can be described as elegant. The atmosphere and ambiance creates the perfect scenario for dates, anniversary's, and holidays. The menu allows for a stunning dinner or a lowkey snack and drinks. The only reason I can't give them 5 stars is due to the food not living up to my expectations. To be clear the food was delicious but at the price they ask I demand perfection. At the least, the menu can be called creative and innovative however they lost marks due to some hiccups for me. For example the tar tar was an incredible taste and consistency but loses points because the bread was soggy and a little over charred. Similarly the miso cookie was cool to try with a unique flavor profile but the added miso created a saltier dish than we expected. If I could I would rate them a 4.5 with only small complaints about the food. I will greatly encourage many to enjoy the pleasantries of culprit.

    Approaching the parking lot, I noticed cars parked in an area full of shops and art expos closed…read moreduring non-business hours. I got out of my Uber, and I saw a couple walking into the main building. One would assume that everyone is there for art and passes by thinking nothing of it, but I knew there was a secret entrance waiting to be found. I tipped my Uber and walked in. The couple was gone, and all that was left were closed shops in a long wooden hallway. In the Hallway was a man in normal clothes. He said, "The lounge?" Yes, I replied, and he asked for my ID. I showed it to him, then he pointed to a black box on the wall with a moon sticker on it. I pushed it, and the wall opened like an Indiana Jones movie. First impressions are important, and I was impressed. The hidden entrance established the secrecy and exclusivity that I expected from a speakeasy. The Lunar Lounge featured a 1990s retro space theme. This included decorations and art. They had their business logo on the wall, a mural of a naked women sitting on a crescent moon with long red hair covering her private parts. There was a robot-shaped snack machine with a mini tube television for a head, static on the screen with angry black electrical tape making his eyes and mouth. The music was energetic without overpowering people's conversations. Calling ahead of time, I met with a bartender who explained to me that they had no intention of becoming a speakeasy; they wanted to create a safe place for their friends who were part of the LGBT community to express themselves out of sight of public view without fear of judgment or discrimination. Basically, meeting every requirement of a Modern Speakeasy. The owner did a good job creating a convivial atmosphere. People were friendly and socially warm in this relaxed environment. According to the Annuals of Tourism, "Convivial atmospheres are powerful in that they carry with them a transformative potential in terms of individuals' openness to and anticipation of future encounters, and their attendant feelings"(Rokka). The Hosts, therefore, created an Atmosphere catered to their intended Patrons. Even though the secret entrance and the atmosphere made this speakeasy impressive, the focus is on the drinks. Now, a bartender does not need to be a master at mixology, but for the sake of the evaluation, there are a few things people tend to look for in a drink. I personally evaluate a cocktail based on the balance of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and aftertaste. According to the International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal, "mixologists, with their aesthetic approach, contribute to transforming mixology into a form of cultural and creative expression" (Creta). I ordered a sophisticated drink from their menu, wondering what they might do differently. I ordered their Cosmopolitan, a signature cocktail. Instead of putting one shot or two shots, the bartender put a shot and a half. This made the alcohol blend in with the sweetness, not too sweet, so that someone would not drink it too fast. With the cranberry juice, he added a space candy garnish shaped like the moon, and as it dissolved, it started to dye the drink blue. After I finished the drink, I ordered it again from a different bartender, and she made it the same way. I saw consistency; all their signature cocktails looked cold, full of artistic expression, and used high-quality ingredients. Now, an argument I would consider valid concerning Speakeasies is: "A real Speakeasy is a traditional hidden room within a restaurant or cave with formal attire and with jazz music." And to a point, I would agree, but at that time, cave networks were maintained, and Restaurants were a family business where you could make a secret room without corporate overreach or whistleblowing. Those places were modern at the time. Today, Speakeasy simply means to go somewhere to drink away from the general public to speak easily. This could be two construction workers getting off work to go to an exclusive place where most union workers go to relax after work, to a private room where two politicians talk shop out of earshot of the public, or to a restaurant turning into a bar after business hours and bringing in a DJ, karaoke or actual theatre. All of these activities meet the constantly changing environment that would and could be seen in a speakeasy. Ultimately, the Lunar Lounge succeeds because it captures the cultural purpose of a speakeasy, with secret doors leading to a convivial atmosphere and well-made cocktails. Based on my data and experience at the Lunar Lounge, I would consider it a modern speakeasy. The 18th Amendment wasn't just about stopping the sales of alcohol. It was about stopping people from expressing themselves in America and spreading cultural influence. The Lunar Lounge met my basic evaluation of a speakeasy, not just the physical building, but also the Freedom of Expression that its customers enjoyed.

    Fun entrance and vibe. The service was nice and friendly. Great location. Drinks were delicious. We…read morewill definitely be back.
