Came in for dinner, loved the food but our server was what made the whole experience! Emily gave great suggestions, was timely, and friendly! The drinks, food, and service were 10/10. Emily suggested the hummus and New York strip and boy oh boy was she right! Cant wait to come back!!! read more

Super good imaginative food. Wine list is exceptional for Tulsa. Service is meh. Maybe good for Tulsa , but not superior. So 4 stars for food 2 stars for service at high end restaurant). Set your expectations accordingly read more

fatjared say...there's a long version and a short version, but both messages are the same. The short version is this...This is the absolute best meal I have had in Tulsa in the past 18 months of living here. If there was 1 restaurant I would choose go to a second time before I moved I would choose this place. I could not find or think of 1 single complaint I had with anything or anyone at this establishment. Truly impressed and thankful!! Now for the long version...as a disclaimer, you can go back and read my other reviews and see I have stuck to my grading scale since day 1. I will never give a restaurant if I have any complaint at all!! 5 stars is perfect, and if I have a complaint that means it was not perfect. OREN WAS PERFECT!!! To start, we had someone there quickly to take our drink orders, and their bourbon selection is top notch!! High West is not a very well known bourbon, and it was a very fair price as well. The entire menu is fairly priced. I also tried my wife's Sangria, and it had great flavor as well. I am a HUGE foodie, and I like to try things. You can see on the menu how many options there are, and while it is PLENTY it's not too much to be overwhelming. This meal was only my wife and me, and we ordered... Course 1: Tapioca crackers and Beef Tartare Course 2: Charred Broccoli, Roasted Beets, and Spring Vegetables Course 3: Lamb Carbonara Course 4: Pana Cotta Course 5: You get a special treat special from Oren when you visit, so you'll have to come and find out what it is! :) Course 1...The crackers were not too chewy, you get a great portion size, and when you put the beef n the crackers it is an amazing bite. THE TARTARE...best thing we ordered all night. It is not in slices it is in small cubes. I would suggest eating with a spoon or on the crackers. It is a perfectly balanced dish. Umami flavor from beef, sour from lemon, bitter from arugula, and the perfect amount of salt. I was blown away!! Course 2: EVERY SINGLE DISH HAD BALANCE. The chef's here really know what they are doing. Read my menu pic and see what each comes with. My favorite were the beets. I mean a salty crunch from pistachio mixed with a citrus kick some more mint, beautifully cooked beets, and feta cheese; I mean WOAH!! It was so good. But every other dish had just as much flavor and balance to it. Truly impressed Course 3: Crab cakes check! Just enough crust, actual real crab, an amazing yogurt sauce with tomato to give it some earthiness, and the the arugula to bring it all together! The lamb carbonara as well. The sauce was amazing, noodles were well made, and the only suggestion I have if the staff reads this is a bit more lamb and a bit less salt. Not a complaint, but it was the least balanced of all our meals. Course 4: Pana cotta literally means cooked cream. That's all you need to know! Its silky smooth, great jelly with it, and a good portion size. Everything we ordered was just enough, not too much, and for the price it's amazing!! I literally can't say enough good things about this place. People go out of their way to make you feel welcomed, the owner walks around and helps and she is SO SWEET, and you leave feeling satisfied and happier because of the experience. LOVE LOVE LOVE. If you can pick 1 nice meal to go to for dinner, pick Oren. you won't be disappointed! read more

Incredible food and impeccable service! Hope to visit again whenever I'm back in Tulsa!

We visited for brunch and I ordered the Avocado Toast with nigella seed, pickled onion, radish and Badio Olive Oil and it was fabulous. The bread itself was killer--crispy, grilled in olive oil--and basically melted in your mouth. I added an over easy egg, as I do, and went to town. This is one of the most filling avocado toasts I've ever had, and I ended up taking half home. But holy crap. The Biscuits & Gravy, people. The flaky, crispy biscuits were served with an herb gravy, poached egg and parsley and the whole thing was simply incredible. The gravy was somehow super creamy, and the biscuits were square little slices of heaven. Order this dish, people. You won't be sorry. Be sure to ask for some hot sauce, too. Our waitress brought us two bottles of Baby D's Bee Sting sauce, the Original and the Sweet Stang. Baby D's is a brand out of Tulsa that creates all-natural, fermented, premium hot sauces; I'd never had their products before but thought they were top notch. The Original sauce sort of tasted like Tabasco, and the Sweet Stang sauce was basically a spicy honey. Add this to the Biscuits & Gravy for a flavor explosion. read more

Went there on a Sunday at around 12:30 for brunch. We made reservations for a larger group, approximately 12-14. We got there a little early and sat at the bar for a mimosa while we waited. Hostess was very friendly. Bartenders were great and drink were perfect. We sat down and Emily was our server. She handled the entire table and did an amazing job. She made sure to take time and describe what we were ordering and what was included, like toppings and such. Very attentive and delightful. Food and drinks were so very good. Exactly what everyone ordered. We will definitely be going back! read more

It's has been awhile since a restaurant has impressed me and Oren easily got 5 stars from me. Great service , a lighting fast kitchen, and each dish was was fantastic. I do recommend splitting all appetizers and entrees with a friend/date so you can try more. read more

1. First time brunch goers get a free French toast that is delicious and taste better because it's free! 2. On Sundays they have a set family style menu which makes for an awesome dining evidence with friends. 3. They have great cocktails and an impressive wine list! read more

Great brunch. May sound ridiculous but the biscuits and gravy here are the best. This is a bit hidden in Tulsa but I recommend finding it.

This restaurant provides excellent service and food. Talented chef provides gourmet food-scallops, duck breast, short rib rigatoni, beet salad, and carrot appetizer are a few of the standouts read more

My family and I ordered to go from here for my sisters birthday. It was absolutely delish! Everyone had nothing but good things to say about it! The salmon was cooked just right! The short ribs rigatoni was exceptional. The risotto was nice and creamy. Let me tell you, the crab cakes were PERFECT, nice layer of crisp with soft crab inside. The New York strip was cooked perfectly with amazing steak sauce! Bolognese noodles were the perfect density! The Hamachi was fresh and balanced. The corn croquettes were not what I had expected, but a pleasant surprise. The plums were very savory. The panna cotta was to die for! The chocolate mousse was a treat, can't leave out the candied orange peel to the candied hazelnuts, DELISH! Last but not least, the cherry crisp was better then any cherry crisp I've ever had! (We ordered a lot of food) read more

One of the best brunch places in Tulsa! The French toast was unique and to die for!! It's not crispy through out though incase you are looking for it. It's more spongy in the middle. The sauce is AMAZING and it's more like a dessert, light, and fluffy sauce that is poured over it. read more

Oren is an amazing restaurant and a must go in Tulsa, for those who can afford it. All of the food is delicious. We sat outside to take COVID precautions in our group. There are at least 5+ outdoor tables but you might need to call ahead to make sure you get a table. We got the duck and it was great. It was my first time having duck but it was so soft and tender that we didn't need the accompanying au jus. The bread was easily my favorite part of the meal, crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. read more

They tried. Probably too hard or this place just isn't for me. It seemed a bit pretentious. The menu is very small. I got the rainbow trout and the trout was solid but bland. It came with plain quinoa, plain avacado & "green strawberries". The green strawberries were the most flavorful thing on the plate. They were pickled or something. My husband got the pork tenderloin which was really good. It was like the taste of fall/Thanksgiving. The menu descriptions are more garnishes versus sides. When we ordered they asked if we wanted a vegetable & we did so we ordered the broccoli but they brought it as an appetizer versus a side. The broccoli was one of the best broccoli dishes I've ever had. The broccoli was nicely charred and the sour cream paired well. read more

My 3rd (and final visit) to Oren - I'm not sure I'm eating at the same restaurant as the other reviews. Yes, the food is good - not great. I've always had sub-par service, but I thought I would try on more time. On Saturday, I had guests coming to town and wanted to enjoy a nice brunch. We made reservations in advance. When we arrived, the hostess asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We had no preference, so we choose outside. I think this was a big mistake as the waitress was obviously double seated. As a former waitress, I understand this is problematic, and I wish the hostess would have appropriately seated us with a server who was available - or if someone would have offered to take our drink order while we waited - we would have enjoyed some drinks as we await the amazing service. No one brought water. No drink menu was provided to us. We sat down and waited. And waited - no one said, I'll be with you soon. We sat. Two other larger tables, near us, were leaving. The dishes were not cleared, food, drinks, and napkins sat on the table, so we assumed they were a bit backed up. We had hoped to have a bottle of wine or a pitcher of mimosas. Nothing was offered. The waitress finally came over and said, "what can i get you?" ... Some drinks, maybe? She said, "oh, you need a drink menu?".... yes, we do. We finally each ordered a "blood hound" and placed our food order (worried we might not have the attention of the waitress again). We wanted to try the mushroom toast, but they were out of it - at 1:00 during brunch. Our food arrived amazingly quickly. But - no drinks. The waitress said "your drinks will be out soon"..... we were more than half way through eating our meal, when our drinks arrived. As we are finishing our meal, the waitress said "are you ready for your check?" We were CLEARLY an imposition to the waitress. It wasn't her fault, she had too many tables at the same time. We would have enjoyed more beverages, we would have enjoyed dessert - but alas, it was not to be. More alarming was the fact that the two tables who left when we were seated remained untouched the entire time we were there. The dirty dishes, food remaining on plates, dirty glasses .... all remained on two tables. No one was bussing the tables, and that to me is both disgusting and not acceptable at a restaurant of this (alleged) quality. I guess the good news is we probably saved $$ by not having drinks offered. It's too bad, I really want to like this restaurant. read more

Been there several times for both brunch and dinner it is always top drawer in all respects , service and gourmet dishes , one of Tulsa's outstanding restaurants, read more

We had a great dinner at this place while staying in Tulsa for PGA tour. Our appetizers were aracina , pork ribs( THE BEST) and hummus !! Our entrees were scallops( absolutely some of the best I've ever had ) and spinalis ( Trust me it's to die for ). Service was great and very friendly!! read more

I can't say enough about this fantastic new restaurant! I went here with my in-laws to be and we just had a great service from the start. They got us right in on our reservation time and seated us in a cozy little alcove in the back near the patio. We all ordered several different dishes including the broccoli, the sweet potatoes, and the arancini. The arancini was excellent. It was crispy on the outside and nice and gooey on the inside with flavorful pecorino cheese on top. I ordered the gnudi and really enjoyed it. It was an interesting mix of ricotta and flour to make a gnocci type pasta. It was in this zingy Meyer lemon sauce . I almost licked the bowl when I was done. This is my second time here and I will definitely go back again and again! From the cooks all the way to the waitresses this place is top-notch. This is the type of imaginative food that Tulsa was missing. read more

I used to come here when this was Ming's Noodle Bar, the new decor is very open and fresh! I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much but I figured I would give it a shot. The staff was very friendly and attentive, although the patronage was a little stuffy. Cocktails and wine were very good. On to the food! To start the meal off we ordered the Corn, Shigoku Oyster and the Artichoke. The Corn was wonderful but we were told that it would soon be taken off the menu, bummer! Oysters were off the shell, topped with something that looked like caviar (I'm not as fancy as I like to think, okay?) and were great also. I wasn't a huge fan of the Artichoke, I found it to be a little bland but if you get some of the sauce at the bottom of the dish it does liven up the flavor. For our main dish we ordered the Pork Tenderloin, absolutely delicious! The celery that was in the farro underneath the tenderloin gave it an odd taste that I wasn't crazy about but I don't care for celery too much anyway. Lastly we ordered the Marble Potato and the Ricotta Gnudi. The buttermilk sauce with the potatoes was really good and then I tried the gnudi, easily my favorite dish of the whole evening! Super soft, creamy, cheesy and I could eat like 80 of these. Definitely will be coming back! read more

One of the only restaurants I can give wholeheartedly a 5 star review. The unique items are not just gimmicks but taste extraordinary, plus the staff and owner were kind enough to suggest other restaurants when they were closed. Truly a restaurant worth visiting once in your life. read more

Incredible food and service! Loved the array of options and the patio was perfection! They have heaters and a fire going for the perfect fall morning. Our server Tanner knocked it out of the park with his attention to detail and personable conversation. Will be back!! read more

I love the Chef's creativity with his menu. One time, he grilled a slice of avocado and I haven't stopped thinking about how good it was since. I've never ordered something from Oren's menu that I haven't adored. read more

Never been to Tulsa before and this restaurant would be the reason I come visit again! Friendly service and amazing ambience. The food is some of the best brunch I've ever had. It is extremely fresh and unlike anything I've ever tasted before. LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

I am so happy I ate here. The atmosphere is chill yet exciting. Service is stellar. Kudos to Jacquelyn for her excellent food, cocktail and wine recommendations. That young lady knows her stuff. As a solo diner, she really made me feel welcome. Try the Tapioca Crisps, Fennel & Burrata Salad, and the Short Rib Rigatoni. Very memorable plates of food that are creative and luscious. The meal best I have had in Tulsa this year! read more

Every single thing on the menu is delicious. Service is great, ambience is lovely, and it's the perfect place for date night or to bring friends/family from out of town. Also, do not miss their falafel appetizer. I could eat that for dayz. read more

Love this place for its progressive concept and clean decor. The plating here is on-point. I love how the owners and the chefs respect food as art. Food itself can range from splendid to a bit too heavy; but overall, the food here is delicious and decadent. Drinks and wine are amazing here. A plus for great service without feeling pretentious like a few other places at Center One/Brookside. read more

I would have given this place 5 stars had it not been for the weak main entrees. Ambience - very white and minimalist and kinda reminds me of some of the places in San Francisco. For me it lacked character but I assume it was intentional Service - very attentive and as expected for the price point Food: Oysters - they would have been better if they weren't drowning in so much vinegar. I couldn't really taste the oyster House ciabatta - very nicely toasted and served warm Arugula salad - this was a very simple but refreshing salad. Roasted avocado salad - I have never had roasted avocado but I have to say that I loved it. Also the other items were understated so that the avocado was the star of the dish Ricotta gnudi - this was like a ricotta dumpling. Very nicely prepared and the broth/sauce was really good Duck breast - this was a fail. The mushrooms n gravy were very heavily salted it was like putting a salt bomb in your mouth. The duck had a weird spam like texture perhaps from the method of cooking (smoking) and was really off-putting. The smoking also made the duck taste too much like smoke and nothing else. Pork tenderloin - the protein was pretty dry and for a pork tenderloin that is pretty embarrassing cheesecake - more like a deconstructed cheesecake but well executed. Chocolate mousse - also well executed and the chocolate mousse was not over sweet. The fennel meringues were also very interesting n a nice compliment to the mouse. read more

My new favorite place in T-Town. I chose the King Salmon and it was delicious!!! I sampled the scallops and they were prepared perfect. If you want a nice place with amazing food that's not too expensive this is it. Also it's not overly noisy when the place is full read more

The food and atmosphere are amazing. The cocktails are perfection. Sunday dinners are always a special treat.

Great unique vegetable dishes, steak was amazing, service was on point!

Oren, from the beginning, has been one of our favorites. Whatever the occasion or no occasion at all, it's one of the best in Tulsa. No such thing as bad food, service or ambiance. read more

Big fan of Oren! Visited with a large-ish group and was impressed by the delicious food, presentation of the plates and the attentive service. Will definitely visit again! read more

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. I ordered a Paloma and it was the WORST drink I have ever had in my entire life. Asked them to remake it and it was even worse!! Food tasted terrible and INCREDIBLY overpriced. One piece of advise: AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. read more

It was one of those restaurants you really wanted to be better than it actually was. Our expectations were high. Food was "meh." Scallops were cooked well but not at all flavorful. Hummus was solid though. Bread with the hummus was the best thing we had. Service was enthusiastic. Vibe and ambiance is nice. Probably not a repeat for us though. read more

It's decently good, it's nice and trendy but it's not worth what you're paying. I can't say that I loved my meal, and neither could anyone else at my table. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. We order oysters appetizers and you get 3...for $15 3 itty bitty oysters. Keep in mind docs is right next door and has amazing and reasonably priced oysters. The atmosphere was cold and not very inviting, better options on brookside. read more

Just okay. Salad is overpriced and subpar at best. Entrees we're roasted cauliflower, short ribs and chestnut. Chestnut was the tastiest. The other two were bland and lacked imagination. Located in a cool area. Better places to eat in town. read more

I've had 2 experiences at Oren so far and both have been delicious and interesting! While the cuisine is new American, the menu isn't like the 10,000 other new American restaurants around here. Everything is unique and inspired. The best part about the dinner menu is the selection of small plates. We tried everything on the menu and honestly all of them stood out. Brunch is particularly interesting because everything isn't a major carbo load but still satisfying. I had a dish composed of a savory Greek yogurt, topped with 2 perfectly poached eggs, crunchy granola and an Aleppo chili oil. It sounds super weird but was fantastic. Everyone I was with was equally happy with their meals. My only complaint is the space is a bit sterile. They need some soft materials to make it more inviting. It's still a cute ambiance but just needs a little softening. read more

I love that many restaurants are opening in Tulsa. My family loves gourmet foods and wanted to try Oren. Our opinion is that it is an ok restaurant. Good atmosphere, very European, good service but super-EXPENSIVE!!!! for what it serves. There were six of us. All together this is what we had: Three appetizers, three main entrees and three salads. Two bottles of wine, two beers and two juices. 400 dollars!!!! Ok, the two bottles of wine were 100 dollars. But still! 300 hundred dollars for small, ok, not so great food....? One of the entrees was returned because over cooked pasta. Ugh! Mushy spaghetti! They didn't charge for that though. So! We won't be back. There are other GREAT options in Tulsa!! read more

Mediocre. The atmosphere is upscale, clean, and modern. The food is pricy almost as if it's fine dining, but the quality resembles that of Applebee's. There are better places to go in Tulsa, but if you choose to go here, this restaurant has pretty good cocktails and steak. read more
