    We had to wait 20++ minutes for our table even though we arrived at the exact time of our reservation and there were clearly tables of five (5) available. Most of the dishes we ordered were fine but the Dover Sole seemed a bit off. The service was OK but not superb and it is quite pricey but didn't live up to all its hype as Tulsa's top new restaurant of 2024.

    First time to Baron's, excellent service! Menu was interesting and offered unique flavors and preparation. Definitely has set itself apart from the usual 'steakhouse' concept and is likely to become our new favorite fine dining option. Exceptional restaurant!

    Food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. Try the tomahawk steak if you can’t decide, well worth it!

    We visited Baron’s for the first time to celebrate a birthday. The ambiance is beautiful and we could tell everyone there was having a good time. My husband ordered the antelope, and although it was a small piece of meat, he said it was very good. The chopped salad was shared between two of us at the table and it was very fresh and the basil vinaigrette was delicious and not overbearing. Theee of us at the table ordered the filet. It was a good size steak (a little bigger than the antelope). I ordered medium rare and it was more medium (actually wasn’t as pink as the medium ordered by another person at our table) but it was still delicious and very tender. The whipped potatoes and asparagus that came with the filet were very flavorful. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. She gave the birthday guest a choice of desserts and they chose the chocolate ganache, to be shared at the table. There were 3 piece of ganache that resembled the size of a Kit Kat. The ganache was creamy and perfect, but the table agreed the pear marshmallow on top had an odd flavor. Two of the guests ordered the Baron’s Old Fashioned (had a smoked ice cube) and agreed the aftertaste was like ashes, and not pleasant. There is only one bathroom each for men and women, so the wait time to use was a little long at times. We will definitely visit Baron’s again. Beautiful restaurant with a lively vibe and delicious food.

    The service was extremely disappointing. We were excited to try the restaurant for the first time and we were celebrating a friend's birthday. Arrived 15 minutes early for the reservation so it was not a problem that the table was not ready. We sat by the hostess areas where there is a small waiting bar and we were told we could order a drink there. We waited for 20 minutes to get someone to take our drink order (we asked the hostess at one point if someone would be by to take the order and she said they would). We ultimately got the drink order because a waitress passed by that knew our friend and put the order in at the bar. It took about 10-15 minutes to get the drinks. We had to ask about the status of our reservation and we were given no estimate, no explanation, and no one expressed any concern or apology for the wait We finished our drinks, tabbed out, and still no one from the restaurant approached us and said a word. Again, we were sitting right in front of the hostess stand. After being there nearly an hour past our reservation, we left and went to Yokozuna. The one star on the food was only because we were required to select a star to complete this review - we never had any food.

    Don’t waste your money on the table side Tomahawk Steak. I’ve never had a steak with that much fat in it, disgusting.

    We sat in a booth and the table is placed too far away. We had to lean forward the entire time - Quite uncomfortable.
