Date night dinner at Picasso in the Paseo. This is a very good restaurant. We have been dining here for years. Love their vegetarian dinners. However, I am really tired of their inconsistent approach to requiring identification when ordering alcohol. A few years ago we were there for dinner and we ordered wine. They asked for my DL and I produced it. They asked for my wife's and she didn't have it with her. When we go out she does not take a purse, wallet or phone. So they would not serve her. We left. Then a few years go by and they never ask for ID. Then the next time they want ID. Sometimes they ask for ID, sometimes they don't, and we are well beyond that time in our life where anyone would question whether we are 21. This is the only restrauant, anywhere we have had the ID problem for my wife. Maybe Odell's law is helping the situation. With respect to food and service for this meal it was all very good. They may have the best fish and chips in OKC. read more

I've been away from Oklahoma City for a while, so I was genuinely excited to come back and try some new spots. This place isn't your typical brunch destination at first glance, but that actually made me even more interested in giving it a try. Parking is street parking only. It is not the worst situation, but depending on the time of day you might need to drive around a little before finding an open spot. It is manageable, just don't expect to pull right up to the door unless you get lucky. Once we walked inside, my party was greeted almost immediately. We were seated quickly, and the space had a warm, inviting feel. It struck a nice balance between classic and modern, almost like a hidden gem that still has a polished, slightly upscale atmosphere. It felt familiar and comfortable, but still special enough for a weekend brunch. Our server was friendly and attentive. He checked on us several times, but always timed it well so it never felt like he was interrupting the conversation or the flow of the meal. I ordered the Okie Breakfast along with the Hot Stack Waffles. The standout item on the plate was the soft scrambled eggs. I usually don't think too much about restaurant eggs one way or the other, but these were genuinely delicious, even without cheese. They were creamy, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. Honestly, I don't think I've had scrambled eggs at a restaurant this good before. The brunch potatoes were equally impressive, seasoned well and cooked to that perfect balance of crispy edges and soft centers. The bacon and sausage didn't quite hit the same level for me. They were fine, but not memorable. The bacon could have used a little more time on the grill to give it a crispier texture instead of the softer bite it had. The sausage links were acceptable but didn't add anything special to the dish. They felt more like standard breakfast sausage rather than something that elevates the plate. I was really looking forward to the bacon biscuits and gravy, especially since most places serve it with sausage gravy instead. Unfortunately, this part of the meal fell short. The biscuits were quite thick, and the gravy itself felt a little too light. I think the dish would have tasted much better if the biscuits had been split open, buttered, and had the gravy poured over both halves so the flavor could soak in. Instead, it leaned on the dry side, even though there was gravy on the plate. As for the Hot Stack Waffles, they surprised me. The first few bites were absolutely delicious, but after that I noticed a caramelization on the outside that made them extremely sweet. It almost tasted like candy, which gave me a bit of a sugar overload. Without syrup, the sweetness was already intense, and with syrup it became too much for my taste. The texture was nice and smooth, but the sweetness was stronger than what I usually look for in waffles. Drinks were exactly what you'd expect. It's hard to go wrong with champagne and juice, and they were simple, refreshing, and enjoyable. Overall, I had a nice experience. The service was good, the environment felt comfortable, and there were definitely some standout parts of the meal, especially the eggs and potatoes. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to return during my next visit to Oklahoma City, but I do think it is worth trying at least once if you are local or nearby. There is potential here, and depending on what you order, you might walk away very happy. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Picasso on first Friday and sat at the bar. We were interested in the the crab CAKES, so we asked how many come with the order. The bartender responded 2, which was perfect for us since we were sharing the appetizer. We were shocked when we received only one! The bartender did apologize for her mistake. We looked at the menu again and it said cakes??? So we asked to speak to the Mgr to point that out. He basically said it was a typo and our bartenders are very knowledgeable, in other words we should have asked. We didn't want to get the bartender in trouble so left it at that and we didn't want our food to be comped, but simply was making a point. I don't feel this was handled correctly. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in the city . Their limited-time menus are always so fun and creative. A friend and I tried several items from the 1980s Winter Olympics menu, and everything was a delight. We had a great time and loved sharing a sweet lunch together. read more

This was a great place for me and my friends to try this weekend. They have an incredible section on their menu of vegan and vegetarian dishes which one of my friends was thrilled about. We started off with the fried goat cheese appetizer and it was so good. Then we each tried different entrées, and my coleslaw ended up being spicy, but thankfully the waitress was nice and brought me fries instead because I could not eat the coleslaw. She didn't seem aware that it was spicy but my friends tried it and they said yes there's jalapeños or something in that slaw. One of my friends got the steak pasta and I tried it and it had an incredible flavor and now I wanna go back and have the pasta. I enjoyed my grilled chicken, avocado and bacon sandwich. The fries were really good and my friend enjoyed her black bean and quinoa burger. The decor was super cute and fun And it was a little loud in this place. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and we would go back. read more

Came here for breakfast last weekend and sat at the bar. It was busy and honestly I'm surprised it wasn't more packed. It was raining, however, so that may be why. First impressions: it's very cute. It's in the Paseo district so you know it's going to be nice. Lots of art on the walls, columns and old school floor tiles. I ordered a Bloody Mary which had the perfect spice level, but received warning from the bartender that the chili stuffed olive would be intense and I really appreciated that. I also got a cup of coffee and for drip coffee it was quite nice. I wish I had asked what region/brand it was from. For breakfast/brunch I ordered the Biscuit Debris which is a biscuit smothered with something called "cheddar cream" Which I was relieved is NOT cheese whiz or anything like it, it was quite nice and it was all topped with pulled pork and fried eggs. It comes over easy unless you ask to modify and I requested over medium. I would definitely come back. I'd like to try their beignets, but hit a wall pretty quick with two drinks and a huge plate of food. read more

Went to Picasso Cafe before hitting the Art in Bloom exhibit and it was a very pleasant experience in many ways. Lily was an attentive server who guided us to several menu favorites. We started with the Jalepeno Hush Puppies and Fried Goat Cheese appetizers and they were both excellent. I ate too much of the appetizers because I couldn't finish my Steak Pasta entree. LOL. I will be coming back again to try some of the items on the brunch menu. read more

I visited for one of their Vegetarian dinner nights that they have monthly and it was incredible! For $35, you get a four course meal with cocktails available for each at an additional cost. Service was excellent and overall vibe of the restaurant was great. Good spot for a date night or evening with the homies! read more

If you've been here there's nothing I can say you don't already know--- Picasso is an A+ for food quality, service, and ambiance. For those who've never been here, imma break it down. The menu is well balanced, with something for every palate. Exceptionally high quality ingredients, and the chef knows how to use them to put out some *awesome* courses. I could go on and on but imma just drop a few nuggets for ya here--- the espresso martini is quite literally the best I've ever had, full stop. Order it. Drink it. Love it. With regards to food, here's the true heat.... Every 3rd Tuesday they do a food event with a set chef's tasting menu. It's priced VERY reasonably for the quality of food and service. Ok I'm done ranting, if you come here you'll be very impressed, and glad you did. read more

I've had this spot on my list for a while but just never got the time to go. Took my daughter and my wife and my only complaint is I didn't stop by sooner! It was awesome inside and they have a really great outdoor space.. feels like neighborhood jam but better. Service is really good everybody was friendly and most importantly the food was actually really good. The brunch board was great and I'm thinking about taking a waffles but these were good. I might even say very good. The two and appetizer was great with the arugula it had the perfect balance. I definitely recommend this spot. read more

I was so disappointed with the roasted artichoke ravioli. I picked it up several times and it was phenomenal. The last time 1 week ago it was terrible. Not at all like previous takeout meal. The sauce was not at all the same. The ravioli was not tasty and the onions were slimy it was not at all the meal I have had numerous times. SO DISAPPOINTED and $4.00 more expensive. It had lots of artichokes but not a lot of ravioli. What happened to change the meal so drastically? read more

Delicious food and fun environment!! I went for brunch with my husband on a Sunday when it was very busy and the food came out within about 15 minutes! Each corner of the restaurant had its own feel while still being cohesive. They had both indoor and outdoor seating so the front door was open which was perfect on a nice day! They allow dogs & had legit dog menu!! Our bill came out to only about $30 for the two of us which was shocking for the experience and DELICIOUS food. We got Bananas Fosters and Chicken & Waffles, the flavor and texture for both was so rich & full! We didn't try any cocktails but they had an amazing/fun selection that we will definitely go back for!! This place will not disappoint, It's our new fav spot!! read more

Great little spot in the arts district, with parking nearby. Our group of 4 went for Sunday brunch and highly recommend making a reservation (the guy in front of us didn't and was given an estimated wait of 90 minutes). The decor is fun, tables close together, and environment generally bustling. We ordered a charcuterie board, veggie Benedict, and bananas foster waffle - all were perfect for sharing and delicious! We sipped on mimosas and Giggle Juice, both of which I'd recommend. read more

Bright and welcoming restaurant with no wait on a Friday night (well past 8PM). Started with the queso which was delicious! Right about of heat and large portion. Chicken avocado sandwich was huge as well.. I could barley finish the whole portion. Everything looked good on the menu and my friend said it was all good. I'd be happy to come back to try more! read more

Great service, food, & drink. They were even kind enough to change the TV so that I might watch the football match between England & Slovakia (Euros '24) This place has a great vegan brunch, dunno & don't care about the nonvegan stuff. I had the vegan meatloaf, vegan whipped potatoes, & vegan green beans. The whole thing was dank as hail. The house made cold brew was very good too. I do wish it didn't come in a plastic bottle, it seems an unnecessary step that generated unnecessary trash. If it is made in house, it's made in large quantities. Why decant that into a small plastic bottle that I then decant into a glass with ice? Why not bring a reusable container filled with the appropriate amount of cold brew that I might decant into the reusable glass filled with single use frozen water shapes? But I'm no restaurateur so who knows, maybe it's like performing MacBeth or being Terry Gilliam & trying to film Don Quixote. IDK, it's a mystery for the ages. Spousy enjoyed her victuals as well. She also don't know and didn't care about no nonvegan foodstuffs. She had the vegan breakfast scramble and was very pleased with it. We shared vegan biscuits & vegan gravy and vegan brunch potatoes. The biscuits existed and didn't offend anyone, the gravy was slobber all over delicious. Like whatever the eating version of ugly crying is, that gravy will put you through it. I love that they have Valentina salsa picante. Not nearly enough places do. This place is loud, like stupid loud. Tin ceiling tile, hard surfaces everywhere loud. It would be swell if this joint would put in some sound deadening/dampening mitigants but that is a trade of I'm willing to make because the vegan food is so good, so easy to spot on the menu, and so easy to order without having to play twenty questions-which is such a luxury in Oklahoma. I recommend going here with everyone you know and if they give you any lip, the folks who work there seem nice enough that they'd prolly help you get your lick back outside behind the purple building. We can't wait to return and try more of the delicious vegan offerings and still not give any squirts about the nonvegan stuff. read more

The place is a restobar and has a very nice ambiance, the service was very good. It took a little while for the food to be served, but we went during a weekend and it was a bit crowded as expected. There are also a wide range of vegetarian options. Would definitely recommend this place in OKC. The price is a bit high read more

Picasso is one of the best things about the Paseo. It's a super funky interior with food to match. When you go make sure you have the fried goat cheese. It's divine and you'll thank me later for it. We went for brunch this past weekend and enjoyed it immensely. I have the breakfast burrito and it's quite the handful folks. Stuffed a mile high with chorizo, beans, potatoes and other goodness I definitely enjoyed it and needed a big nap after. The whole menu is reasonably priced, offering a wide range of vegan and vegetarian options. 10/10 recomme read more

I really want this to be better. The service has always been immaculate and the ambiance is quite nice. I have one dish here that I was addicted to. The steak pasta used to be incredible, but the steak is chewy and overdone to the point of being inedible every time now. I even tried to ask for the steak to be less done the last three times with no luck. The pasta is amazing and I'll chew on the steak just to get the flavor of that sauce, but it's too tough to swallow. read more

Excellent sandwiches, wraps, appetizers (their avocado egg rolls are bomb) and very creative beverages like mixed fruit juices. Service was very prompt and attentive.

Open relatively late (11pm) on some days as well! read more

My new fav! Sat at the bar and service there was impeccable and fun to watch the great bartending staff! Had heard so much about the fried goat cheese & not really being a fan of goat cheese, I was reluctant. THANKFULLY I tried it!! Changed my life, haha!! Soft goat cheese, not very strong, crispy outside and served w arugula and honey, O M G!! My sister and I shared this good sized order along with the Smoked Salmon And Avocado Spring Rolls which were ALSO to die for!! Price was very very reasonable, not expensive. They even had a good Italian Sauv Blanc that I loved although I'm usually a snob for New Zealand! ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! GO FOR IT! read more

The service itself wasn't the best, the nachos were originally ordered with real cheese, but they ended up with vegan cheese anyways.

Fabulous food and drinks. No other way to describe it. Everything we ordered was delicious. I recommend the lobster bisque, best I've ever had and I've had lobster bisque in about a dozen restaurants. Seasoned to perfection and just the right lobster mix. Started with the Trio; Appetizer of Spinach, Artichoke & Triple Cream Cheese Dip, Hummus, Kalamata Tapenade, Herbed Mozzarella flatbread. Quite satisfying. Our table enjoyed fish n chips, shrimp tacos, shrimp risotto, and a kid's grilled cheese. They also offer a great vegetarian selection and one of our party discovered their fabulous tiki Marsala. Everything was cooked to perfection and our server, Avery, was excellent and absolutely charming. Don't miss out on that fabulous dessert selection. We had the blueberry cobbler à la mode and it was warm and delectable. I'll be back for more; that's for sure. read more

We were out for the Art Walk in the Paseo area of town and purchased an amazing carving from the Wildflower Gallery and decided to step into Picasso for dinner. Quaint restaurant seated immediately. We started with Fried Goat Cheese & White Queso, which were divine. Our drinks were Queen Liz, Black Walnut Blvd, Desert Spoon, Plum Cobbler, and Grace O'Malley and every drink was perfect. Dinner consisted of Rosa Park Short Ribs, which I always order short ribs if they're on the menu. These were good and tender but more fatty than I've had in my other experiences. Others ordered Chimi Steak, Honey Cauliflower, Beet Tostadas & Steak Pastaa...everyone cleaned their plates so I would say everyone was satisfied and enjoyed their meal. Portions were generous and priced fairly. Somehow, we managed dessert - Molten chocolate which also was cleared from its plate. Service was attentive and expedient. Food delivered hot and delicious. Solid experience makes this a definite recommendation and a return when we travel through OKC again. read more

We went to celebrate some birthdays, and selected Picasso Café since they have a good variety of vegan/vegetarian options along with some non-vegetarian options. For starters, we selected the seared ahi tuna, fried goat cheese and the Trio - a spinach/artichoke cream cheese dip, hummus, tapenade and herbed flatbread. Also, a small sample of vegetables (carrots, cucumber and sliced peppers). The vegetables consisted of about 6 baby carrots, 4 small slices of peppers and 3 slices of cucumbers to a cup of spinach/artichoke dip, 1/2 cup of hummus and scant ¼ cup of tapenade. No bread/crackers - which was ok, but ratio of vegetables was WAY off to the amount of dip, hummus and tapenade. Unless we were expected to use the herbed flatbread (which also had cheese). All 3 starters were tasty (other than the ratio issue) and they wanted another $5 for more vegetables (which we declined since the ratio should have been better to begin with). You do not serve dips without something to dip into them. Just eating a dip with a spoon is, well, weird, or you are Oliver Putnam in "Only Murders in the Building". The highlight of the starters was definitely the fried goat cheese. Goat cheese with honey and fried? What is not to like?! Everyone ordered something different for the main entrée and we shared tastes all around. The September vegan meal is the Arepa de Picadillo, the description of which sounded wonderful to our vegan tablemate. This is the September feature - which would mean it was the highlight for the entire month of September. At the end of September, you would think the kitchen would know how many specials for a Saturday evening would need to be prepared. The item was ordered and once the orders were placed in the kitchen, it was reported back that they were out of the main entrée - at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night! The peak of dinner mealtime. Did someone in the back of the house make an error in ordering for a busy Saturday night on a highlighted special? Was there a secret PETA convention in town that ate them all? The vegan tablemate was very disappointed but changed her selection. Taste of the entrees? Good, but not "knock your socks off Martha" great. Pasta dishes were good, skirt steak ok, salmon with sweet mustard sauce was waaayyyy too sweet. The sweet completely overtook any hint of mustard in the sauce (actually scraped most of the sauce off the salmon since it was so sweet). For dessert, some beignets. Very dense and completely immersed in powdered sugar. A beignet should be light, airy and lightly dusted, not immersed like a powdered doughnut. There was so much powdered sugar you would have thought we were hiding some drugs in the room. Atmosphere - we were in a small room to the side of the restaurant - and were able to view the outside, which made for some humor both inside and outside. Those outside sometimes checking out what we were doing and dining and for us - great time photobombing those who took pictures/selfies outside the window where we were eating. Not sure how many photobombs we managed to sneak in during our meal, but it was fun! Can't speak about the rest of the restaurant since we were in our own little bubble. Service was great. Very attentive, but not overly so to interrupt our visiting and meal. Overall review is - while it was nice they have a good ratio of vegan/vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, if the highlight of your meal is a starter (again, yum to the fried goat cheese) and nothing else it will just be a spot to visit if everywhere else is too busy. Not a place that I would say - you absolutely have to go to while you're in the area. read more
