Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Inner City Northside

The Pecan encrusted Trout was great. The amount of fish was more than I could handle, so I will enjoy it for lunch today. A guest ordered the steak and said it was delicious. Another had the Cod, which she often orders and said it never disappoints. Mixed vegetables were delicious. And, the shared Key Lime pie was rated as one of the best ever. Hefner Grill never disappoints

Great but not sure why I didn’t receive points for this?

Stella always is one of my favorites in OKC. Yesterday, however, the restaurant even outdid itself! Several new Fall menu items recommended by our perfect waitress, Nicole - all of which were absolutely fabulous. You just can’t beat the new softly fried calamari, shrimp, artichoke, mozzarella, lemon slices, olives and pepperochini with the aioli sauce - utterly delicious. The perfectly cooked brisket sandwich with pickled carrots on a perfectly toasted baguette was to die for and the chopped salad - magnificent. And then….the amazing risotto rice pudding - oh my! Service great, as usual, and the noise level much better than usual for a Sunday afternoon.

The hostess at the front desk is not friendly or engaging. We stood there for several minutes before the young lady, who was very friendly, escorted us to our seats, and the hostess NEVER said a word to us. She never made eye contact or raised her head. The lady standing before us asked a question and she basically ignored her. She is the first impression for your restaurant and it was not good. You were somewhat busy but not very. There was no reason for her not to welcome us. I noticed others were frustrated with her as well, and this is not the first time it’s happened when I have frequent your establishment. Just thought you should know. Otherwise, from the moment we were seated everyone and everything was excellent! Thank you.

Food was outstanding. The service was top notch! An absolutely enjoyable experience!
