I remember dining at the French Hen way back in 1980's at its original location in South Tulsa. It was always a solid choice and it seems the new location in downtown Tulsa is successfully carrying on that tradition. The decor is beautiful and the food is excellent. Four of us visited here on a Saturday night and had a great time. I had the Beef Tenderloin Special (blue cheese crust with mashed potatoes) while my wife had the Bouillabaisse. Our friends started with the Foie Gras and a Shrimp Cocktail and then split the Mixed Grill. For desert, the group tried the Banana Walnut Bread Pudding. We all agreed that everything was delicious. My only knock is that we felt like the service could have been a bit better. But our waiter was very friendly and it was a busy Saturday night, so not that big of a deal. I will definitely be back! read more

Second time we've had French Hen and it was so good again I'm leaving another review. This could be the best restaurant in Tulsa. The service and food are both incredible! read more

This has quickly become my favorite restaurant when I host client dinners. The atmosphere is so relaxing. The bartender is the best In OKC. Very professional, friendly, and the drinks are always perfectly crafted. The Food is top notch and they have a nice selection of wine. What a Gem! read more

I'm only giving a four star review because we were actually having a birthday party in the banquet room (a detached space just steps away from the restaurant's front door). We had three servers attending to our party of 24. Service was good but the three were stretched a bit sustaining the drink orders but the main server was quite knowledgeable and very helpful with the wine menu. Food might have been a bit slow getting to us but it was quite okay because everyone was having a great time. I would definitely return (it has been probably 15 years since we visited the restaurant proper) for a meal inside. (Also, if you're looking for a restaurant that will accommodate a large group like this, The French Hen is the place. The party planner had a terrible time trying to find a restaurant that would accept this large of a group with a private room on a Saturday night. The French Hen came through after many did not.) read more

French Hen - French Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Beautiful new location! The food was served hot and the presentation was beautiful. I took my moms on a date and we really enjoyed it. Only complaint was my mom ordered the seafood special and her scallops were really bitter. For dessert we shared a creme brûlée and it was fine. I prefer a thinner, glass-like caramelized sugar topping. Overall it was a wonderful time with family. read more

Everything about the French Hen is amazing! Food, ambience and the service is top notch. Highly recommend.

This is the spot that I plan to bring my family when they come to visit Tulsa. We parked in historic greenwood, walked past the baseball stadium and found The French Hen in a downtown building. We were able to sit at the bar, though next time we will get a reservation to get the full experience. With that said, the bartender was pretty great and very personable for such a 'fancy' place. The bar drinks were nice and stiff but also tasty. For dinner, we got the pan roasted brown trout and the seared diver scallops.....omg. Best food we've had in Tulsa, coming from larger cities on both coasts. I was still talking about the meal the next day, as was my partner. Also, portion sizes were great (we both took a little to go). For dessert, we tried the bread pudding with ice cream (togo of course), and even the next day it was delicious. I can't wait to go again! read more

I give this establishment 4 stars because of ONE thing, the owner did not wash her hands as she existed the bathroom. How did I know? I asked one of the employees. 5 stars for the food, drinks, service and ambiance, they were to die for. read more

My best friend and I go out for a monthly BFF foodie date and French Hen was up next. We had a fantastic time and our server was helpful, patient and sweet. The food was superb. We started out with the chef's small bite puff-pastry with beef Wellington dressed with vinaigrette, my goodness! For appetizer, we had the duck patte, delicious! It was so good. We got the duck dish and scallop creamy pasta, finished off with the creme brûlée. Our cocktails were yummy as well. A perfect evening. read more

I traveled in from LA for the holidays and to take my mom to a nice birthday dinner. The French Hen did not disappoint! We started with the seafood cheesecake which was the star of the night! It was also a bigger portion than I expected. The French onion soup was also excellent. For main dishes we had two of their specials which included excellent duck breast, pork chop, and scallops. Every bite was cooked to perfection. Runner up for my favorite dish was the sea bass with crab risotto. Excellent. We finished with the chocolate creme brûlée. It was tasty but I would choose the berry one next time. My only complaint was that the vegetables were slightly underdone and not tender, but great flavor/seasoning. The service was also attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Three of us were in town on business. I had read reviews for this restaurant and had never been to a "french" restaurant before and gave it a try. Monday evening, not many diners. One of my companions was interested in the duck. I've tried duck once before and didn't understand why people liked it. Beth, our waitperson, first delighted us with a surprise of bruschetta on crostini. When she asked if we had any questions, we inquired about the duck and was it greasy. She said no it wasn't and that it was one of the two dishes that people would drive many miles just to order. The companion interested in the duck decided on the special of the day grilled pork chop with a mushroom sauce, the other companion went for the beef tenderloin rossini, so I decided that I would be the adventurous one and order the duck. We also order the french onion soup, daily potato soup and spinach salad. We all said ours was very tasty. The entrees came, I was the first to taste my dinner. OMG I have never tasted any dish that good. The duck was not at all what I was expecting. At Beth's recommendation I ordered it cooked medium (I usually order my beef medium rare, but had never been asked how I wanted my poultry cooked, so I deferred to Beth's recommendation.) The breast was sliced served with potatoes au gratin and fresh aspargus. Beth had put both sauces that you could order on the side, so I could try both. I loved everything about the meal - and couldn't decide which sauce I liked better. The guys both raved about their dinners as well. I have a few more days in Tulsa and plan to go back and try another dish that Beth recommends. read more

French Hen - duck breast - French Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

0/10. The place does not make Black and Brown people feel welcome. I felt unwelcomed and dismissed the second I walked in. I spoke to the owner about my experience with the bartender (both white) and was met with "that was not my intention" and "sorry you feel that way." Both statements are not apologies. The owner was dismissive and pretentious. I am disappointed as other than this place, I have loved visiting Tulsa and considered it surprisingly friendly. read more

We went there last week to celebrate both of our birthdays. We had a reservation. The food was superb. The service was awful. After we placed an order for the bar we waited 20 minutes before anyone came back to our table. The bartender was chatting with a couple at the bar. Our waiter was going back and forth but we were invisible. At one point someone told us they had a big group in another area. Fine by us but could we please have a moment? Our waiter was neither friendly or interested in our experience. He gave us info and seemed dismissive. We were an inconvenience. Weirdest eating experience I have had in a long time. I called the next day and spoke to the manager who said she was sorry and that she would buy me a glass of wine when I come back. It will be a Long Long time before I return. read more

I drove into Tulsa today to see my boyfriend for the weekend, and we wanted to eat somewhere nice with food we don't have in Fayetteville, AR. We were seated right away, given water from the hostess, but weren't greeted or acknowledged at all for at least 5 minutes, then who seemed to be a manager (a woman in a colored blouse when the other servers were in all black) came and took a wine order. This entire time we haven't been given food menus, so we couldn't even fire off an appetizer order (we were starving). 15 minutes go by, with just a glass of wine and no menu, starving hungry, we're not starting off on a great foot here. I've worked in fine dining for years, and the service here was just absurd. When a different server came over, he told us the features, and we were able to get some food going. $43 for the haddock feature was *way* high for what you got (fish that tasted just like cod, 4 pieces of asparagus, and very meh risotto). My boyfriend got the duck, which came with (more pieces of) asparagus and potatoes gratin, he at least enjoyed that. We got a couple desserts, which were okay, but all in all I didn't feel like this place was worth the money, or worth returning to. They didn't have a guest-centric customer service attitude, it took 2 hours to get through our meal, and the restaurant was *maybe* half full. read more

Excellent food and wine. The steaks were wonderful, the French Onion soup delicious. Our server, Weston, took excellent care of us! Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to go on a date, and saw the sign for the French Hen in passing one day. We looked it up online and decided to give it a shot. We made a reservation, but arrived very early and were seated promptly. Our waitress was very pleasant and approachable with questions and requests. She brought us complementary hors d'oeuvres and bread with butter while we looked over the menus. The bread tasted so very fresh and delicious that I wouldn't be surprised if it had been baked shortly before opening. We started with the Forest Mushroom Tart. It was very tasty and an appropriate size for a shareable appetizer for two. I ordered the Grilled Duck Breast, and my husband ordered the Fried Quail. I also ordered a Prosecco, which was delicious and respectable quality. We enjoyed the brief time waiting for the food in the ambience of the restaurant. It was very busy, but hardly noticeable. It felt quiet and private even with the many others. All the tables had fresh flowers and tea lights, which heightened the experience. When our food arrived we were taken by the presentation. It was all very beautiful. Everything tasted even more divine. I'd like to say that I've never had duck before and was so excited to try it for the first time. I couldn't have picked a better experience and am so grateful to have had such a wonderful meal. It was gloriously decadent and rich. My husband also enjoyed his meal and was generous in sharing some of his quail with me. Absolutely delicious. We finished with sharing both the chocolate and vanilla berries Créme Brûlée's. The chocolate was very delicious and the berry one even more delicious. The French Hen is by and large one of the best restaurants in Tulsa. Thank you to everyone who served us for our date, and we will definitely be back again and again to experience the great quality of your restaurant. read more

Been here a bunch of times and they really have gotten a great handle on French cuisine. It's all in the sauces, and the French Hen does them right. The oysters have a creamy sauce with an anise kick to it that compliments them perfectly. The sweetbreads have a buttery sauce that brings out the flavor in them so nicely. The Scallops and Shrimp were cooked to perfect, seared on the outside in butter, and tender inside. Full of flavor, and the cream sauce with the pasta was on point, not the alfredo-y goo you get at some places. The menu is fantastic and highly recommend the food. The decor could use an update. Feels like a place only old people go to. I think they are moving to downtown and my advice for them is to do an overhaul on the decor. read more

The food is pretty good, but some dishes can be a bit too heavy. They forgot puff pastries in one of our dishes and cranberries in another. Great selection of wine and cocktails. Good service as well. The ventilation here is not good and it can use remodeling, but I heard they are moving to the new location; which I can't wait to try! read more

My friend and I had been out running errands on a Saturday and we wound up looking at hunting and fishing gear. That made me hungry and I thought duck would be nice. I looked on line and found this place. When we arrived, we made it as far as the foyer and we could see that the patrons were dressed for a nice Saturday evening dinner, and not wearing the shorts and tee shirts that we had on. We decided to try this place on another night. We only got about 15 feet away when the manager came out and called to us. He assured us that our attire was fine and welcomed us in. I was quite impressed with this and frankly, a bit surprised. We were given our choice of tables (he wasn't hiding us away from the other diners) and our waiter soon came over. Rather than just having the duck, I opted for the mixed grill, which included duck, sirloin and lamb. I swapped the mashed potatoes for sweet potatoes and everything was perfect. My companion had the quail and he couldn't stop raving about it. The meal was excellent. If anything, it was too much (I had to take some home with me). The prices are high but that was to be expected for a gourmet restaurant. The place is a bit hard to find. Look for it. It's in the back of a strip mall on the southeast corner of 71st and Yale. Keep walking and you'll find it. It's worth the time it takes to get there. read more

They don't care about there customer in fact I have been waiting on my food for over 30 mins for know one even came and asked if I was good.. then I went up and asked were my food was and the lady said maybe another 20 min... and still hasn't came back to my table and there is only one other person here. So sick of this happening read more

Yesterday my girlfriend and I went, and we both found it to be very nice. Our waitress had a lot of knowledge of the menu, and was a nice meal prepared very well. I got the special, which was the halibut (fish), it was amazing. The portions were a little small but who really wants to pig out at a elegant Resteraunt? It was a little difficult to find, but overall I was very pleased with our service and food. Although readers beware, even dinner for two can be slightly expensive. read more

A gem!!! Party of 4 enjoyed a tremendous and delicious lunch. Nestled near the rear of a row of unassuming buildings- the French Hen caught me completely by surprise. Beautifully decorated quaint restaurant with excellent staff. We started with an appetizer of fried calamari and calves liver (yes calves liver over mashed potatoes-absolutely the best I have ever eaten in my life). We then enjoyed the scallop salad and French hen burger. We concluded our meal with a chocolate creme brûlée's- oh my - just enough to finish off a meal to remember for a long time. read more

Husband and I went here for a date night, and we were not disappointed. We got the fried oyster appetizer (amazing) and the mushroom tart. Then the French onion soup.

French Hen - French Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Upon walking into the French Hen and noticing the attention to detail from the entry, the seating arrangement, and to the bar, I knew that if this place looked good, the food was going to be good. The service was great, our waiter explained every item on the menu, and checked up on us on numerous occasions. Then there's the food. Coming from California where every city had amazing food to offer, after being in Tulsa for three months, I am glad to finally find a restaurant where the food meets my expectations. The food was great and delicious, the fish was cooked to perfection, and the duck was mouth watering. My favorite dish has got to be the Shrimp Scallops & Crab Cheesecake, it was so good! So glad to have picked the French Hen out of random as a place to try, they did not disappoint. Plus the place doesnt break the bank, either! Definitely coming back for more! read more

A friend told my husband and I about this place, I had the trout which was probably the absolute best fish I have ever eaten, and then I had the espresso chocolate mousse for dessert, it was such an amazing meal I can't wait to go back! read more

The Valentine's Day dinner was enjoyable overall. We began with the seafood cheesecake appetizer, which had a good taste, but given the price, I would have preferred more seafood. The soup was brought to the table through an auction process, which I found to be unacceptable for fine dining. My partner ordered the French onion soup, which he sent back to have the cheese toasted, and he enjoyed it. I had the lobster bisque, which was flavorful with chunks of lobster, but it was 50 percent more expensive than the advertised soup of the day. We then had salads - the Caesar was a bit heavy on the anchovy, while the field green was pleasant with a goat cheese cake rolled in crumbled walnuts. As we were getting full, we shared the pan-roasted chicken, which was split in the kitchen and came with a delicious mustard cream sauce, but was slightly tough. Overall, the dinner was nice, and our waiter did an excellent job. read more

Great little find. Food is fresh & tastes great. I had the grilled cheese with the tomato bisque soup. Phenomenal. Really rich & different take on a classic. Fried oysters are very good as well. Unique cream sauce served with it is excellent. Service was top notch. Waiter explained their concept, how they go about making things & was very on top of our table. Worth stopping in. read more

The French Hen surpasses any restaurant in Tulsa by a mile. The escargot was perfectly cooked - not chewy, with just the right amount of garlic - paired with the perfect baguette for the mopping of extra sauce. The beef bourguignon en croute was amazing. Not exactly en croute - there was a little square of puff pastry - however, the lightly fried onions on top added just the right amount of texture and perfectly complemented the deep richness of the red wine sauce. To top it off, the creme brulee was, just as everything else, right on the mark. The service was impeccable. Kathy is very involved with customers and the staff are attentive and pleasant. I will frequently revisit this establishment, and I encourage all of you to as well. read more

We spent our 55 th wedding anniversary here and found it to be okay... I guess I expected better service for the prices we paid there. The steaks were good, the cheese potatoes were okay, the angel hair pasta with scallops and shrimp was very good, although I thought the scallops overly salted and needed another minute to cook. Also, the Osso Buco had a heavy mustard sauce over thick spaghetti, with no vegetables.. I thought it was okay, but again salty... I will say they gave us a hardy amount. The onion soup was not my cup of tea... they used a cheese that took over the onion soup taste to me... they asked if we wanted bread, and brought us a fresh loaf of bread with good taste but was the size of a bread stick for four people. The restaurant is nice to look at , the staff friendly, but parking is on the street... the waiter left the wine list on the table the whole time we ate, and was slow to get back to us with water or our meal. The desserts were fine... I think I will try to go back for lunch time prices but never for dinner. It was a little noisy because of a party next to us. read more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed an amazing brunch here! The live music was so fun- musicians were very talented, took requests, and contributed to the light, airy ambiance. My croque madame was delicious! Perhaps even better than the one I had in Paris :) I also had an espresso martini, which was equally scrumptious. We will be back again soon! read more

We had an awesome anniversary dinner here; great place for a nice dinner. The scallops I had were the best ever, cooked absolutely perfectly.
