Absolutely amazing. The interior is beautiful, the staff are fantastic, friendly, and attentive. Great cocktail menu, and the bartender is one of my favorites of all time. Now to the food... AMAZING. So damn good! Got the house salad, the bread, and the special with lamb. Absolutely stellar. If you're in town this a must stop for a nice meal! read more

Such a great quiet place for dinner. We had the duck and chicken. Both were cooked to perfection.

Ate there a couple of weeks ago for dinner. For the good news, the restaurant is attractive and the staff very pleasant. The food was a disappointment. I had the lamb chops which were 75% pure fat. My wife had the trout which was rather bland but O.K. Our waitress agreed that the chops were awful and I was assured that we would compensated for this. Well, instead of taking off the price of the lamb from the bill they took off a percentage. It should be noted that this is an expensive restaurant. As an example, a piece of halibut is $65. Also the valet parking was $13 with tip. I took the time to write a personal letter to the owner expressing my concerns and she did not even have the courtesy of responding. I had eaten at this restaurant many times in its old location and one other time since it relocated, but I don't plan to eat there again when the owner can't even show the courtesy of answering my letter. read more

Food was still good- service was lacking to say the least. I'm so disappointed- I loved the French Hen and visited for date nights often... now I don't think I will trust them again with my free time. Bummed. read more

Three out of 4 at our table thought our entrees were too heavily salted. An ordered glass of wine was never served, but was charged for, although it was quickly removed when called to server's attention. The wait for decaf was way too long, and desert order wasn't taken until coffee served. Food was good, but a few bumps in the flow of the meal. read more

I chose The French Hen for an anniversary dinner, knowing it would offer some upscale food and a new dining experience for my husband and me. The setting is cozy. Passing the herb garden on the way in is a nice way to transition from the rather prosaic strip mall like location. Go past the Quizno's and you really do find a nice little niche. We had a table by a back window, which seemed like a nice spot, except that my husband was treated to a view of the kitchen staff stepping out the back door of the kitchen for a smoke once in a while. The restaurant might consider some kind of trellis to mask the break area. The food quality varied, but overall was more than average. I was happy to try foie gras for the first time, but even given the appropriateness of the berries served with it, I found the sauce oily and too generous and the overall presentation fussy. My husband found his shrimp cocktail only ordinary. Our second course was outstanding. My husband had the wedge salad, and raved about the quality of the Roquefort dressing. I enjoyed the French onion soup myself. The broth was tasty, with a faint note of what seemed to be cinnamon, and the bread still had a bit of crunch in the crusts. For our entrees, I chose the salmon with a pear and lobster sauce and my husband had the mixed grill with scallops, beef, and quail. The portion of salmon was very generous, and well cooked, especially given how thick the fillet was. The sauce was very light, and the pears still a little crisp. The rice that accompanied it had an almost risotto like consistency. The pairing of the fruit with the seafood was very good. On my husband's plate, all three of the protein servings were well cooked, but he thought the beef was the best, despite an overly generous application of peppercorn sauce. We both enjoyed the vegetables of the day, especially the tiny zucchini, which had been sauteed lightly enough they were still crisp to the bite. read more

Do not be fooled...this is not a French restaurant. It is an above average American restaurant with a smattering of dishes from Le Cordon Bleu and a barely adequate wine list. As others have pointed out, the service is excellent. No complaints about the attitude, enthusiasm, or professionalism of the staff. The manager never made it to my table, which is odd, but I'm not too fussy about that sort of thing. The cooking is fine, if unadorned. The ingredients are second tier at best. The spinach salad was semi-wilted, with Bleu cheese crumbles that could have came from Winn Dixie. Not that they didn't taste good, but not what I would expect from a fine French restaurant. My entree was the mixed grill, which turned out to be an utter disappointment. The tenderloin was a terrible cut, and overcooked far beyond my request of medium rare. The sausage was fine, but the shrimp were obviously from frozen. The sauce was lipid, under-flavored and over-creamed. And the worst sin, the accompanying veg mix was cold, pale, and tasted much like your favorite Bird's Eye frozen blend. Not at all the quality I would expect for the $42 Friday evening special. All in all, it was a fine meal, if this were an Applebee's. For a restaurant that styles itself as fine French dining, well, "ne pas assez, malheuresment". read more

Mi in-laws took us to French Hen for a special dinner. Lobster special was chewy. When asked about it waitress said chef indicated lobster was fr read more

Very good food. I enjoyed the foie gras and salmon. Unfortunately they ran out of sorbet and dessert wine. The staff was helpful, but a bit casual in their service. (But I may be a coastal restaurant snob. ; ) ) The only real negative is that French Hen is impossible to find. They have no signage. Look for the sign of a competing restaurant - Sutures - and go to the left down the alley about three doors. read more

Group of 6 went for Thanksgiving luncheon. My first visit. The others had been 15 - 20 years ago. It's a nice place with good food but there were too many glitches for the price. This place seats 96 but they weren't full. The waitstaff was pleasant, attentive and friendly but items were left off our order, tickets were mixed up, and they ran out of stuff. My wife and I shared a $41 bottle of wine and our ticket came to $120. I left a 25% tip. For that amount of money for lunch, I believe there should have been fewer glitches. read more

Came here on a weekday, we were seated right away. This is a cute little gem in Tulsa. I loved everything on the menu.

We were very disappointed with our meal. Everything at our table was overcooked and I mean everything. Unfortunately several of us had seafood. My son had the most expensive item on the menu, lobster tail, and it was so overcooked and rubbery he could hardly cut it with a steak knife. It was such a waste of a lobster. My husbands duck was close to being prepared correctly but still overcooked. The best thing we had was the bottle of wine my husband selected with absolutely no help from the waiter. He had no knowledge of the wine list or of wine varietals at all. We would never go back. read more

The French Hen used to be my number one favorite; now I may never return. 1. Entree was served an hour and forty minutes after we arrived. 2. One of the entrees was served hot, the other three were served close to room temperature. 3. They changed the cheese on the onion soup to brie. Not as good. 4. Service from the waitstaff was the bare minimum. 5. Definitely not worth the $400 tab. read more

My wife and I celebrated our tenth anniversary last evening and dined at the French Hen. We were expecting excellent food and service, we were not expecting spectacular food and service. I'll say here, I do not typically bother with restaurant reviews and when I do it is usally to warn the reader rather than compliment the restaurant. This experience was so over the top, I wanted to let the reader know they are in for a french cusine dining experience not just a meal. Our meal began with a tasty surprise of bruschetta on crostini to whet the taste buds - scrumtious. Shortly thereafter our appetizer arrived; Scallop, Shrimp, and Crab Cheesecake served in a pie wedge accented with small onion rings - I promise I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the finest foods to ever cross my palate. Absolutely incredible. My wife ordered the Grilled Duck Breast and I ordered the Pan Fried Trout. The duck was "melt in your mouth," and with the orange and cherry glaze, almost tasted like steak. The trout was equally as tasty with a pistachio crust and lemon capers; and more important was absent the "invisible" bones that inevitably show up in trout. We finished our meal with Espresso Chocolate Mousse served with a candle and coffee. Our server, Shala, had excellent timing with quick and efficient service. The ambiance was quiet and quite condusive to conversation. Of course, COVid precautions were apparent. Overall, if I could give the French Hen a "Six" I would do so. We have definitely tagged FH as a top choice for special occasions and will spread the word among friends and family. read more

My husband got a groupon for the French Hen for his birthday. You would never know we were there on a coupon from how our waiter, Craig, treated us. We had the most wonderful dinner! We had the duck pate and sweetbreads as appetizers, the bouillabaisse and steak for entrees, and drinks and the port poached pear for dessert. The food was just fantastic, especially the steak. The poached pear was the most delicious dessert I've had in years. My husband asked for a suggestion for bourbon, and Craig brought him a great one and left the bottle for him to read. He treated us like royalty. What a wonderful place! read more

I would have loved to have given this place a 5 star rating; the food was delicious and the service was prompt and courteous, but there were problems. There were *no* vegetarian entrees on the dinner menu! Can anyone say, "quiche"? Also, we found the prices too high, by $3.00-5.00 per entree, particularly since a simple salad was not included. Furthermore, if one claims to be a French restaurant, I would expect more French dishes. read more

LOVE this place. Lovely atmosphere. Authentic food with hand picked ingredients. Make sure you try the duck liver pate! For entrée I would recommend the lamb or grilled duck. Grilled scallops are also heavenly. Their wine list has many savory collection as well. And don't miss out on the chocolate pate for dessert. read more

The French Hen is a good place to eat, but the main issue we have is the lack of consistency. Sometimes we have a great experience with great food, and sometimes the service is lacking and the food is just okay. I recommend anyone to give it a shot, but if you are satisfied or disappointed is a crap shoot. read more

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. I will start by saying that it is a great spot for that kind of occasion. We started with the crab, shrimp and scallop cheesecake which was amazing. I would definitely recommend it. On to entrees, I had the rack of lamb and my wife had the salmon. Both dishes were great, my lamb and her salmon were amazing, but each plates sides were underwhelming. Service was good and the staff was super friendly. We would definitely go back. read more

I had been really excited to try this place, as I love French food, but overall the food was hit or miss, and we did not have the best service. Perhaps we made a mistake in going during restaurant week (although, we were not ordering off their special restaurant week menu), as they were extremely busy. Someone sat us at our table, but then no one came to take our order for over 20 minutes. I was almost on the verge of walking out but tried to be sympathetic to the fact that they were busy. It was just frustrating that staff and hosts kept walking by and taking no notice of us. Finally, someone came over and apologized. I think they must have called someone in for extra help because one of the servers was in sweats or something like she had just been working out and stopped by but got roped in to helping out. We started with the seafood cheesecake that friends of ours had recommended. Granted, it does not sound very appetizing, but it was actually really good. Extremely rich but good, and I'd order it again. The French onion soup was decent, but the menu overall seemed to be lacking a lot of classic French dishes--like steak frites or poulet frites, or beef bourguignon (which I think they do serve at lunch but haven't tried it). For my main dish, I had the pistachio-crusted, pan roasted trout. The fish itself was actually delicious, and the portion was quite large. Since I'd had two very rich, filling appetizers, I had to take some of it home. I really liked the crust on top, and the lemon caper sauce was nice. However, the vegetables it came with did not taste right at all. I had my husband try them, too, and he thought that the oil they were sauteed in must have been burned. I didn't want to send anything back only because we had waited so long and they were so busy, so I can't say how they would have handled that. In any case, the fish was the star, and it was good. But, when you're spending a little more than you normally would, it's nice for all of the components on the dish to be good, and not just poor to mediocre. I'd like to try their lunch menu before I decide if I want to go back again for dinner. read more

Solid French-cuisine restaurant. The interior has an intimate, sort of romantic hideaway vibe. Our group started with the Spicy Fried calamari, which was decent and not particularly spicy. I had the Dijon chicken, which was prepared quite well. The accompanying risotto was also quite delicious. Unfortunately, the vegetables (I think some sort of squash/zucchini mix if I'm remembering correctly) were underdone yet soggy. Not sure how you do that. The winner of the night was the grilled duck breast, which even when served well done (sorry, it was on request) was quite tender and flavorful. My husband's fish special wasn't so great. I was a little disappointed in the service for a restaurant with prices in this range. They don't bring you a food menu to start, and we waited quite awhile before anyone took our drink orders. Then long wait for food menus. Then long wait to order. You get the drift. Service was also quite impersonal, but our group was talkative amongst ourselves, so maybe the server was trying to stay out of the way. I can tell you that if it had been just me and my husband, the lag time between all steps would have been quite annoying. The menu isn't quite as authentically French as it could be. It lacked a lot of the bistro classics, such as sole meuniere, salade nicoise, mussels meuniere, souffle, steak tartare, coq au vin, etc. My thought when I see that is that they either have chefs who lack the skill to prepare these dishes to order or are not getting in enough really fresh ingredients to make some of these dishes well. But again, what they do serve is solid and deserves a 4-star rating. read more

The French Hen took total care of us for Thanksgiving. The food was so delicious!!!! The service excellent and made our family meal memorable. The baked squash and Brussel sprouts were both so yummy. read more

Very good in all respects. Nice setting; fantastic seafood cheesecake app; osso bucco was very good but served over pasta instead of risotto; brown trout was very nice; creme brulee to finish. read more

First time here, we aren't much for wine so coming here was a whim but it was well worth the effort. We had the special which was a spinach salad with walnuts, cantaloupe, and pineapple with blue cheese crumbs and it was excellent. Then Halibut with green beans and I believe rice that was also very good. Not cheep but definitely good value for your $$ read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. My service was incredible. Will be back. If your there for lunch, try the burger, it's insane.

Service was first rate. My wife loved her cup of French Onion soup. I had a bowl of the New England clam chowder, among the best I've had, loaded with strips of delectable clams. Her entree scallops were perfectly prepared and delicious, served on a bed of pasta. My NY strip came at my ordered doneness, medium rare. Delicious, although I was less than impressed with the accompanying pickled garlic sauce. Layered potato and sautéed veggies were perfect, although more than I could eat. I should have ordered the cup, rather than bowl, of chowder! Overall, a great meal in an established restaurant. read more

Always a dependable South Tulsa choice. Pleasant atmosphere. Nice variety to menu. Good wine list, cocktails and mock tails. Attentive service. read more

Romance and wonderful food. I love this restaurant and I recommend it for any occasion

The French Hen in Tulsa is a delicious, hidden restaurant. We love Paris and eat French whenever possible. We were not disappointed. The pate is authentic and excellent!! Bon appetit! read more

Although I've lived in Tulsa for 12 years, I recently visited the French Hen for the first time. I'm sorry it took me so long. The food and service plainly put this restaurant in the top tier of Tulsa fine dinning spots. As good as the food was, and it was very good, the service was even better. It struck that perfect balance between attentive but not obtrusive. Whenever we needed something, our server always seemd to appear, but let us enjoy a leisurely meal. While it is an expensive night out, the French Hen delivers great food and a experience. read more

Very nice, roast salmon a treat, pleasant staff. Nice atmosphere and wine list. Excellent place for romantic dinner.

I came here with my family as a special treat while visiting them in Tulsa. The place had a nice ambience and the service was generally very good. We started with the oysters, which were ok, but it was hard to taste them under the sauce and they resembled any other fried dish. The french onion soup was good, albeit with a tiny portion size, and was a bit too sweet for my taste. For my main meal, I had the calves' liver. It was well-cooked but was lacking in flavor- I had to allocate the onions charitably to make it palatable. My grandmother's dish, which had salmon, was very good, and in general the seafood seemed to be an improvement over the meat dishes. The dessert was standard mousse for me, though from my relatives I heard that their peaches and their bread pudding were excellent. A good four-star meal if not for the prices, which are relatively high. 3.5- if you've got money, you'll like it much more. read more

I'm not kidding you when I say this is the best meal I have ever eaten from start to finish. Seriously do not pay attention to the other review because this place is fantastic. The boyfriend took me here for valentines day this year and it was well worth our very pricey bill. We started off with soup, I got the french onion and boyfriend got lobster and crab chowder and both were devine. I ordered the beef tenderloin cooked medium and he got the ribeye special cooked medium. The plates were beautiful and everything was cooked to perfection. My cut of meat was so tender that I could have cut it with my fork. Boyfriends Ribeye was incredible. The fau grois is really good though interesting. The sauce is amazing and everything was like fireworks in my mouth until the last bite. We got a bottle of VanDuzer wine (Pinot Noir) that our server recommended and he was spot on with what we wanted out of the wine. Since it was valentines day I was being spoiled and was allowed a dessert and got sorbet which was excellent. I would go back here everyday if I lived in the area and could afford it. read more

The best restaurant in Tulsa! The menu has a great variety from steaks, French dishes, amazing grilled duck breast, and more. The wine selection is one of the best. The service is great also. A must try!!!!!!!! A unique variety of appetizers and salads. Fried oysters, crab cheesecake, salads with fresh fruit, and the citrus blue cheese wedge! Yumm! read more

Not what it once was. French onion soup more akin to miso. You'll find far more authentic at Panera. Concur with other reviewers that the steaks are sad. Can't comment on the bread as our table of 6 was offered none. Although the wine list offers few whites, we managed to select one that was not chilled. 20 minutes in the ice bucket solved the issue, but, cmon now. Room remains bistro-y and on this Friday night was boisterous, and that's ok. Service ranged from attentive to AWOL, likely due to the house being nearly full. Overall, a disappointment, especially in light of what is being offered in Tulsa at this price point-- or less. read more

My husband and I dined at the French Hen for our anniversary. The atmosphere is perfect yet the location is hidden which makes it special. The service was perfect. Our server suggested our bottle of wine to us, which ended up being the best red wine. The name of it was Earthquake. The server provided us with a variety of specials for the evening along with a menu. We decided for an appetizer to have friend oysters which is a must from now on. For dinner my husband had the grilled duck breast and I had the tenderloin simple. Both our meals were cooked perfect and the flavor was great. Our whole experience at The French Hen exceeded our expectation by far. read more

We had dinner last night (10-5-2015) with a group and all of us were disapointed with the experience. Maybe Monday night is just an "off" night for the restaurant. I ordered a ribeye steak and it was certainly not prime meat. For $38 I expected better. It had a lot of fat and it was somewhat tough. The onion soup was not very hot. They brought bread to the table of six. It consisted of three pieces of french bread and three pats of butter. When we finished that plate of bread, I asked the waiter for more. He brought one more piece of bread. When I asked for more butter, he brought two more pats. I was not excited by the wine list. It was all expensive. My bottle of rather ordinary cab was $38. All in all this made for a very expensive meal (20% tip was automatically added to the check). I don't think we will go back. However, I thought the service good if you ignore the bread issue which was probably more of a management issue than a waiter issue. read more

This was not my first visit to this restaurant, but it was by far the worst experience I have had there. We barely saw our waitress, and our drink glasses sat empty for long stretches of time throughout the evening. We were there 45 minutes at the restaurant before we managed to order our meals, most of this time was spent waiting for our absent waitress to make an appearance. When the meals finally arrived, the grilled duck was fine, but the strip steak was overcooked and served with a different side than had been promised by the waitress. The person who delivered the meals vanished instantly, and we didn't see the waitress again for a good ten minutes. When she finally returned, no alternate side was offered, but she did offer to remove only the steak from the bill. Another staff member asked how the meal was, and when we told her that it was a very unsatisfactory experience, she did not respond at all and walked away. I am appalled by the unapologetic responses of the staff, and am sorry that this is the way I chose to spend my money on a meal. read more
