    Great cafeteria style restaurant inside the Devon building which has sleek, modern, environmentally friendly interior design. The staff is friendly, the food is fresh and there's a great selection to choose from - sushi, sandwiches, noodles, protein, salad bar. I got the salmon dish last time with side dishes.

    Very good. $10 plus tax.

    I am not that reviewer who gives 5 stars away like jolly ranchers. I just wanted something healthy since I was in Oklahoma City for a short time. I am a fan. The Lady Executive Chef was so kind and she explained to me how it worked. When I got in line for Salmon, the big chef was so cheery and friendly. What's going on here? It's so awesome. Food was excellent. I loved the green beans and cauliflower. $10 plus tax. I cannot wait to dine here again.

    I am at a loss for words. I have lived in Oklahoma City all my life and started working downtown before I could drive. This restaurant, much like the building in which it lives, is a game changer for Downtown OKC employees. I worked in the First National Center (FNC) for seven years. The closest, fastest, cheapest options, were national sandwich chains and after so much processed meat, sometimes it was better to just not eat lunch. Kashi Go Lean bars became my go to. Some great little local spots were in the surrounding buildings, but you can only drink so many smoothies and eat so much chicken salad. And I love me some Ken (owner of the Chinese buffet in FNC- big ups, Ken!), but you can't get Chinese buffet on the daily, no matter how much you think it calls your name. So back to Nebu: Do this math: for around $7, you can have your pick of sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, sushi, or one of four or five daily specials. I think between the regular options and the specials, if you worked in this building and chose to eat here on the daily, you could have something different every day, all year. I posted a bunch of pictures because it literally has to be seen to be believed. I had the soba noodles in a miso broth. I got to pick from chicken, shrimp, tofu or a combo. Broccoli, asparagus, tobiko, peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms and more could be added, as many as you wanted, for the same price. Which (with tax) came to $6.88. I had a (free) cucumber water, but had about 100 different teas, waters and natural sodas to choose from. The meal itself was fantastic, as my lunchmate can attest because I ate with so much gusto I ended up with soup all over me and really did not care. I've eaten in one of the cafeterias at Microsoft, and I can tell you that this is so much better it is difficult to compare the two. I plan to work here from time to time, so let me know if you want to try it. They'll probably just think I actually work in Devon Tower!

    How can I explain Nebu? It's like an adult cafeteria. It's located in the Devon building and you really can't miss it once you enter the building. Nebu is open to the public, not just for the Devon employees. I had a friend that assumed that the cafeteria was just specifically for the Devon employees. They're only open for breakfast and lunch, providing daily specials. You can find the specials on their website, but if you don't want their daily special, they also have a lot of other options. I applaud them for having such a fantastic salad bar! That's another thing, if you're looking for a healthy meal, Nebu has that!! A tad bit pricey, but that's it.

    In downtown OKC for a meeting or jury duty try out Nebu for lunch. A full buffet and salad bar with a relaxing outdoor seating allows you to getaway with ease from whatever brings you to the area.

    Cool adult cafeteria! There are several options to choose from I grabbed salmon with veggies and cous cous. Plenty of seating and outdoor seating great for a relaxing lunch break!

    Salmon with chimichurri sauce, rosemary white beans, and green beans.

    I LOVE Nebu. Seriously. I can walk there and eat lunch with time to spare. They're friendly, and the options and variety is just incredible. I always get the salmon because honestly, they're one of the few places in OKC that makes a decent piece of salmon. The food is very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious.

    Plenty of delicious and healthy options but it can be expensive at times, so beware. I go there weekly for lunch, and there's plenty of unique and tasty dishes but the salmon, salad bar & BBQ offerings tend to be my favorite. It can be a bit crowded at times but the lines move quickly.

    Yelp keeps prompting me to review Nebu so now I finally am. I have 92 check-ins there and I'm not a Devon employee. At least once a week, frequently more, I make the walk from my office in Bricktown to the Devon Tower for lunch at Nebu. I really appreciate Devon opening their employee cafeteria to the general public and also that they serve lots of tasty, healthy choices along with the normal not so healthy lunch choices. I have to exercise to get there and then I eat healthy when I do so that's a win-win day for me. The one benefit I miss by not being a Devon employee is getting the 50% discount they provide to their employees on their healthy choice items. I don't eat the healthy items only because they are healthy. I eat them because it's food I love and can't get anywhere else downtown for lunch at such a reasonable price. Seafood and fish are some of my favorites and you can get big pieces of quality salmon and mahi mahi at Nebu. The exact offerings vary from day-to-day and sometimes week-to-week. I have signed up for the daily email of the special offerings but you can also check it out at www.cafenebu.com where you can see the Daily Menu for items they have every day as well as the Weekly Menu that shows the special items in each section for each day. If you check this out in advance, it will make it a little bit easier when you get there. You will just have to see if they still have the item you want. I am a late lunch eater so I sometimes miss out on my first choice but always find something worth getting. They close at 1:30pm so don't be too late but around 1:00 pm you miss the big lunch crowd. I glanced through some of the other reviews. I noticed one lady complained about how much she assumed her small soda cost but that she couldn't check it because she didn't get a receipt. You frequently do have to request a copy of the receipt from the cashier but two copies are always printed out. Nebu keeps the first copy & the second copy is for the customer. I always get one. I don't think I have ever paid for a drink at Nebu. They have dispensers of cold water, one always has lemon slices in it and another cucumber slices, that are free. Just get a glass and fill it up. About every other week, Nebu has carved turkey breast at the bistro station. I love turkey but I don't cook and I didn't get to have turkey at Thanksgiving (we waited too long and had to have ham). I was happy that this was turkey week so I went Monday and had the carved turkey breast. The serving is always a large two slices and the bistro has an assortment of toppings available for the meat and fish offerings. In keeping with my belated Thanksgiving theme, I got the cranberry sauce topping. The turkey is always moist and tender and the salmon is also delicious. Their turkey meat loaf is so good and popular that I have only managed to get it once before they sold out of it. The bistro items come with a choice of two sides which vary day by day. I won't go into detail about what all I have eaten there. As of now, there are 80 photos on Yelp for Nebu. I am guessing that the majority are mine. You may be surprised that I am only rating Nebu at 4 stars and not 5. Well, with experience I usually make good choices but I have had a few not so stellar selections as would be expected in a cafeteria setting. All of the staff working there have always been very friendly and helpful. I am definitely a fan and will be back at Nebu eating lunch again soon!

    Before a single dish arrived, this restaurant had already won me over starting with the air itself…read more Walking in, I was met with a clean, refined fragrance that perfectly matched the room's energy, upscale without being cold, polished without being pretentious. The kind of place that knows exactly what it is. The hospitality was exceptional. The host made me feel genuinely welcomed, and my server was knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about the chef and the menu. Not a rehearsed performance, real enthusiasm. That's rare. I ordered the chef's signature: sea bass with black rice. The fish was perfectly executed, delicate, flaky, with a sear that gave the skin just the right amount of texture. The black rice was earthy and dramatic, the ideal counterpoint. Every element on that plate had a reason to be there. Some restaurants impress you. This one made me feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Come for the sea bass. You'll be back for everything else. 10/10 -- Return without hesitation.

    To be honest, really disappointed. When we walked in, staff was so friendly, the place is…read morebeautiful, and the ambiance is great. But the food was really subpar. I got the tomato pasta which ended up being a weird collection of pasta, tomatoes, olives, and edamame that frankly didn't blend well. My fiancee got a strip steak and it was undercooked and tough to chew. The mushrooms, brussels and tiramisu were all good however. Our server was very kind but they seemed understaffed so service was slow. Overall, the food was definitely not worth the price, and I don't think we will return.

    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.

    This was our first time to Raven but it wont be our last. It was the perfect Valentine's date . You…read morewould never guess what's waiting inside from the looking at the outside. It's so much larger and open. The bar is good size as well. We sat upstairs and loved being able to take in all that was happening, bartender, chef, staff it was great. Our food was amazing! The salad was simple but delicious, steaks were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese was a little dry for my liking but was good. Our drinks were unique and very good but the show stopper was dessert .... The bread pudding! I've never had anything as good. Raven has mastered bread pudding. It takes 20 mins so order it early on.

I was delighted to find out that our hotel was only 2 miles from this highly acclaimed restaurant. Upon entering, I immediately felt the welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the host. The inside is lovely, modern and well laid out. It's perfect for date night or hanging with friends. The host chatted with us, explained the restaurant concept, and answered all my questions. We got the Baked Chèvre for our appetizer. It was layered with flavor and a most delicious and perfect bite for a cold evening. My entree was the Rainbow Trout. The fish had crispy skin and was moist, flaky, and well seasoned. The broad bean mixture served with it was equally delicious. The hubby had Honey Roasted Lavender Chicken which he declared to be one of the best chicken dishes he's ever had. He even raved over the vegetables that came with it. Of course I also had to try dessert. I loved my warm spice cake with a scoop of ice cream and swirls of buttery caramel rum sauce. The cake was so moist and paired perfectly with the sauce and ice cream. Our wait staff was friendly and professional. I forgot to jot down names so I could give them a shout out. Excellent staff is always a part of an excellent dining experience. This was just a delightful experience. The host even gave us the name of some nearby live music venues that we enjoyed later that evening. We will certainly return here the next time we are in OKC. If you are ever in the city, make a reservation and stop by for a fabulous experience.
