4th time to eat at this highly rated Tulsa eatery. Service was outstanding, food not so much. Wife had the Halibut. She said it was tasteless. Cut up cubed fish boiled in a bowl. Roast beef special was promised to be tender. It was over cooked, so-so tender and disguised with a "funnel cake" on top of it. We were there at 5:00. Ordered 1 Negroni from drink list menu. Tried to order 1 more but was informed they had ran out???? The 2 appetizers we ordered were sub par. Unhappy to shell out $$$$ for very mediocre food. read more

They have amazing food here and a lovely, classy atmosphere. I ate at the bar where they are also doing all the food prep and cooking out in the open. The "Cod" special was incredible as was the French press coffee and peach ice cream with a blackberry purée. The waitress, Ashlyn is also top notch. Very personable and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. Nice walk back to double tree hotel. About a mile and a 1/4. read more

We were looking forward to dining here after reading all of the good reviews but in reality, it was disappointing. The food is okay but not knock your socks off good. The Sweet Potato Bisque was okay, no depth of flavor and it was lukewarm. The Kale Cesar Salad was good but nothing we haven't eaten before and then we chose a pasta. Our waitress recommended the pastas as being a highlight of their offerings. I debated between the Lasagne, the Whole Wheat Fettuccine or the Gnocchi w/lamb bolognes, she recommended the lasagne. Maggiano's has better lasagne than this place. I'm happy we went on a la carte menu night and not the pre-fixe dinner night because this was underwhelming to say the least. The staff were friendly and pleasant but the food just isn't that good. We won't be back, I'd rather eat at Juniper or Amelia's than this place. The ambiance is nice I loved the sketch of the dog on the wall but that's not good enough for us to return. Edit** after speaking with the owner/chef and hearing her concept for this restaurant, I've decided to give this place another try the next time we're in Tulsa. We will reserve the tasting menu and I will update my review to reflect the full experience of Farmbar. read more

Temperature checks and questions at the door. Take notes local restaurant owners. Farmbar is making people feel safe and social distancing. I was nervous about going out to eat but made an exception after calling to verify social distancing measures were in place. This team is doing what every establishment should be doing. Also, the food and wine were perfect...Oh and the cookies were just what I needed.. Your staff is hands down some of the nicest/best in the industry as well. Thank you for making us feel safe as we enjoyed a rare occasion out. read more

Great for the price! Nothing too crazy but nice for a quick meal. I loved dining here as the ambiance was very romantic for my boyfriend and I. The service/server could have been way better as we were left with empty drinks for awhile. read more

Food. Service. Ambiance. Amazing. I overlooked some of the past reviews and went. It was an incredible dinner. I went a la cart. Had innovative bread. A beautiful salad. Rib-eye. Those potatoes were WOW! And pecan tart with this incredible orange and cardamom ice cream really propelled me to write this review! Thank you for my dinner tonight; it was beautiful. read more

This place was full of great food experiences. We tasted things we've never had before. It was delicious.

So, so good...yes I said it twice. Perfect evening enjoying great food and great company. The food quality and preparation/presentation was exceptional. The staff/servers? Super attentive and super knowledgeable. The meal was not at all rushed and the dishes were timed perfectly between each presentation. We really enjoyed our evening and will for sure be back. Great job to all at Farmbar! read more

We love this place! Great atmosphere. Wonderful, welcoming staff. Excellent food and service. Fully recommend and will be back again and again. Wish I would have taken pictures but I was too excited to try the food! Great experience read more

If this were a food review, the title would be You Must Learn to Walk Before you Run a Marathon It completely breaks my heart to write this review. I had read all about the chef and her work and her farm before coming, we were so excited to eat at FarmBar when visiting Tulsa. To begin with it's a very hip, beautiful vibe when you walk in...with an open kitchen. However, the giveaway might have been that there were a lot of empty tables, and only two staff running the kitchen, one of whom was the chef. They told us the tasting menu was available even though our reservation said it wasn't. We're super foodies/cooks from SF, so very happy to let the chef cook for us. We also asked about our daughter who is vegetarian and they reassured us that they offer a tasting menu for vegetarians too. The two lovely parts of the ENTIRE meal were the amuse bouche (fantastic) and a spinach and potato soup (excellent). Also, one dessert was a good effort with a pavlova over a creme pat... but literally everything else they served I would be ashamed to have served to friends at a casual weeknight dinner at my house. And the vegetarian dishes were simply ridiculous...none of them were thought out and there was no protein outside of three or four very tiny, dry, granular beans served in a "hash" (which we were also served in our menu). It was completely an afterthought. My daughter commented that what should have been a marinara sauce tasted like tomatoes from a can... I didn't believe her but tasted them and was so sad for the chef. Our first course was a line of three separate bites. First, the pieces made no sense together...meaning it wasn't a plate, it was disparate pieces. Each piece was awful. One piece was entirely cold, one was lukewarm and one had been recently warmed...nothing had been just cooked. And all of them were tasteless. Early in the meal I asked for some kosher salt because nothing was seasoned properly. They brought out a course kosher salt...after so much discussion in the open kitchen. EVERY chef's kitchen I've even been in has fine kosher salt. They might use a course kosher for soups or things cooked more thoroughly, but fine kosher is used for salting things where the salt must dissolve quickly. It was already an embarrassment that they didn't season things in the kitchen, but then a coarse salt for table salt?? In my life I've never asked for salt anywhere that offers a tasting menu. They made a ravioli and though the filling was fine, the ravioli was undercooked and thick and super tough...homemade pasta that is thin and delicate is so easy...this should have been an underhand pitch... We had a course with monkfish, which I normally love. The fish had been cooked and either hadn't been patted dry or allowed to drain or properly defrost because the inside was spongy and watery??? How can this happen at a restaurant that offers a tasting menu? We were served a piece of filet, that was half fat (and I love fat because it's where the flavor lies) but it was chewy because it was served with the muscle sheath still attached?? A properly butchered piece of filet and a $75 sous vide stick and you can serve the most delicate filet pieces you've ever tasted...so easy. One course had a thick sauce that had pieces of smoked bacon...but when they smoked the bacon on some of the pieces they didn't cut off the pig skin? It's thick, rubbery and in that state inedible?? How did this happen in this kitchen? These are just some of the obvious pieces. At some point I think the waiter thought I was a food critic and at the end sent over the chef who asked how our meal was...we just sat in silence, not knowing how to tell her how bad the food was...to someone who was pouring her heart into this food? I explained gently that I was sorry to tell her, and mentioned the highlights to soften the blow, but there's no easy way to explain and I just stopped, it was heart breaking. With tip (only ordering 2 cocktails and a soft drink, with tip it was $500...even though my daughter's meal consisted of less than $5 worth of ingredients. THEY CHARGED exactly the same for the vegetarian tasting menu that consisted of nothing upon nothing. This is in a city, where gas is under $3/gallon and everyday food is a fraction of the cost in San Francisco. This was one of our all time worst meals ever. Before you can offer a tasting menu, you have to get the easy things right...totally perfect. If the chef had tasted all those things she sent out that night, she would have NEVER sent them out. I was so disappointed that we spent that much money on a horrible meal and wasted that whole evening. We cooked at home for the rest of our trip. We couldn't imagine a lower bar. read more

Wow. Tulsa needed this place. The food, the atmosphere and the service were all top notch. We had the beets for an app. Honestly could be improved by using a variety of beets. We also had the local shishito pepper app - terrific. Roast as an entree was exceptional as well. read more

Just as lovely as it could be! The service, the wine, the food! Do yourself a favor and book a table and experience it for yourself!

We were so excited to try Farmbar after reading the rave reviews. In our experience, the food was a 4/10. The atmosphere was a 3/10 due to broken air condition (it was sweltering and miserable to eat warm food). The service was a 7/10 - polite but not super friendly.) There is only a prix fixe menu, which is fun, but what I didn't realize was that there are a handful of core ingredients featured throughout the evening. So if you dislike one ingredient on the list, you are likely to dislike most of the 10 course meal. I dislike goat cheese in almost all forms. I'd been dreaming of my visit, which was a birthday splurge (the meal is $95 per person, plus tax and tip). We opted not to purchase the wine pairings for an additional $50/person, but we should have because the wine would have made the food more palatable. My heart instantly sank when I saw the menu. I'd been pouring over social media pics of old menus and food. I had seen no ingredients I dislike. The menu I was presented with contained my least favorite food (goat cheese/goat's milk) in multiple dishes and revolved around some of my least favorite vegetables (beets and tomatoes). It also featured my least favorite meat, pork, as the main dish. I tried to remain open-minded as I've enjoyed all of those ingredients when well-paired, but first bites often generated an involuntary gag. It wasn't just the ingredients; it was the way they were put together. I kept wondering why they had ruined a perfectly good plate of food by adding seasonings or ingredients that just didn't work together. Instead of the cacophonous tastes "dancing on my tongue," it felt like they were doing a battle match with my taste buds as the casualty. The blackberry-basil sorbet (as a palette cleanser) would have been excellent on its own, but topped with a generous helping of brown salt ruined it. The same sorbet was featured later in a cookie shell with pecans, fresh basil, and three sauces that ranged from quite good to shockingly polarizing (smoked blueberry). I would have liked all these things on their own, but they didn't work together. It was reminiscent of the milkshake experiments we used to make as kids where we combined ingredients we like on their own to make something disgusting. The pork chop, which was the main dish, had good flavor on its own, but the beet sauce was off-putting. It was also unevenly cooked; half was white inside, and half was bright pink. My husband's was white or light pink all the way through. I did truly enjoy one dish, a roasted cauliflower that was quite yummy. Because you are served 10 courses, most come in teeny tiny ramekins, so I only got a few bites of it, but it helped a bit to have one dish I actually liked. Most dishes were edible, but not enjoyable. Some I couldn't eat and handed off to my husband, who will eat anything (although even he was discussing how he didn't like the tastes). The best way I can describe the meal is that the flavors were so strong - and polarizing - that nothing was subtle. It felt like going to a play and having the actors scream in your face for 2 hours. I am guessing we might have enjoyed the food more with the wine pairings - or on a week when the menu has core ingredients we like more. read more

I still have a Farmbar glow almost a week after my visit, like I had the best first date ever. The staff made my solo meal feel more like I'd popped by for dinner with friends. I feel like sending them flowers. The food could hang in the West Village or Silverlake, but why would it? Tulsa's vibin! Can't wait to come back for more. read more

One of the worst dining experiences of our lives. For a special event, we made a reservation one month in advance and selected the 10-course prix fixe menu. Despite the reservation, upon arriving on time we waited 1.5 hours to get seated. Once seated (after the 1.5 hours), it took another 20 minutes to get service. We were told there would be 10 courses, but there were 9 (and one of the 9 was a scoop of ice as a palate cleanser). We were willing to wait for nearly 2 hours because we were so excited for the food. Unfortunately, the food was bland and uninspiring. By no means worth the price. Moreover, the service was slow and unprofessional. Plus, the patio had just one heater for six tables during the winter. Brrr! We recommend avoiding this restaurant due to the well below average food and unprofessional and disorganized service. In summary, it is NOT a five star (or any star) fine dining restaurant or experience and definitely not worth any price. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our total dining experience at Farmbar last Saturday. It exceeded all of our expectations. We have experienced some great food in Philadelphia, NYC and Washington DC at some of the top restaurants, but rarely have been enjoyed the food and atmosphere as much as last Saturday. The 10-course menu was creative and sitting at the Chefs table allowed us to interact with your staff. It was obvious that your team enjoys their work, love the creative and sustainable approach to food and feel a part of the process. Our meal was memorable, portions perfectly sized and flavors amazing and surprising. Don't expect large portions, heavy use of butter, salt and sauces to mask the flavors of fresh, high quality food. Do expect serving sizes that showcase flavor and careful preparation. read more

Simply the best restaurant in Tulsa. It's not even close, and there are lots of very good options in the downtown area.

i really want to rate this place as horrible and terrible JUST so it doesn't fill up--and i can still make a reservation! i can't lie though, just to make sure that i have a spot at the chef's counter. with absolutely no hesitation, i can say that you must go to Farmbar. don't put it off, go immediately. the food is fresh, creative, perfectly cooked, elegantly seasoned and exquisitely presented. the artistry that goes into each and every detail of the tasting menu is a real treat to any regular person off the street--but is a massive turn on for real foodies. when you ask what my favorite course was, i can't really decide. each and every one was so different and took me on a revitalization of my tastebuds. flavors, textures, colors, temperatures--they were all varied and somehow were sewn together with the finest of threads, to make an amazing tapestry of culinary euphoria. the staff is amazingly warm and helpful, and will do their greatest to make your visit one to remember. trust me. go. read more

See all

Pretty good but ridiculously expensive for the food served. Dinner for 2 with an average bottle of wine was over $400. We can say we tried it. read more

I WISH I COULD RATE IT LOWER I went to this restaurant a couple months ago with one of my friends and ordered a couple apps and a couple entrees as that what the restaurant tells you to do. We had higher expectations, all the pictures I saw looked good, and the dishes seemed creative, both of these things ended up being incorrect. The apps were okay not bad but glorified baked potatoes I wouldn't order them again. And then the entrees were just lacking basic fundamentals of cooking, little or no seasoning, burnt pieces of meat. I don't consider myself a food expert in any way, but I eat out a lot and I'm always eating different foods at different restaurants, I've been to almost every restaurant in tulsa and okc and love trying new foods, and farmbar at first glance it just a mediocre restaurant hiding behind their fancy "techniques" and "plating". But I've eaten at other restaurants before I didn't like the first time and I've came around on, so I decided to go recently with my s/o to their burger night. My burger was fine normal burger not bad, not good, not as good as the burger me and my partner make at home. But very shortly after only a bite or two it was clear that my partners burger was completely undercooked, raw in the middle. And I'm not talking rare ( I order everything medium rare) this burger was completely raw in the middle so raw it was almost cold to the touch. I felt really bad as my partner got all dressed up and was excited for this date night and I ate most of my burger so quickly that she didn't get that much food just the rest of my burger I gave her which honestly was a little too pink in the middle as well, as the texture got a little chewy towards the middle but we just ate the outside of it. I was so disappointed we just decided to pay quickly and leave, leaving the raw burger on the plate as we leave. And go get fast food on the way home. I'm not the type of person to write bad reviews in fact this is only my second review ever I've wrote, but I'm I big fan of restaurants and the restaurant community and this place is fooling people with its aesthetic, they want to be tasting menu, expensive ingredients, but can't even cook a burger or serve an entree. Their menu might look impressive reading it but it is a disguise. I will not go back. read more

Everything about this meal was exceptional!! The food and wine pairings were exquisite. TULSA is beyond lucky to have this type of restaurant!! Don't overlook this place. I Just can't say enough. Thanks for a wonderful and delicious dining experience. read more

This is hands down the best food I have ever eaten in my life, and I have eaten all across the country at numerous James Beard award winning spots. Still blown away the day after eating here. Thank you to the staff, and compliments to the Chef. read more

lucky enough to eat in some of the finest restaurants in the world and now count farmbar among them. the 10 course tasting menu was fantastic with wine pairing - highly recommend read more

Overall a good experience. Staff were awesome and we were there nearly 3 hours. My main complaint is that both my wife and I left hungry because the portions are very small. The cost for two after tax and tip was over $200. Stinks to leave hungry after spending so much. read more
