Best Lunch Restaurants in Inner City Northside

Had a wonderful dining experience tonight at Flint! Beautifully appointed restaurant and bar which would be a perfect place for a date night or casual get together with friends. The crab cakes are actually the best ones I have ever had and I’ve tried them everywhere! They were so big and filling that two of us split an order. I tried a dish with spaghetti squash, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes in a cream sauce and added grilled shrimp. It was such a big portion that I couldn’t finish it but would definitely order it again. My husband had the shrimp and grits and said it was delicious. We ended the meal by splitting a slice of creamy key lime pie with fresh berries. I will definitely come here again next time we are in OKC !

Perle Mesta is where you go when you want to feel fancy fancy. The experience was absolutely top tier, and Chef Black? That man thinks of EVERYTHING. From the perfectly plated dishes to the surprise anniversary letter, I half-expected him to show up and personally sing “Happy Anniversary” to us. The food wasn’t just delicious; it was so beautiful I had to pause and ask myself if I was cool enough to eat it. Spoiler: I’m not, but I did anyway. Now, this isn’t your “let’s grab dinner because we forgot to thaw the chicken” kind of spot—this is where you go to celebrate life’s BIG wins. Worth every penny. Chef Black, you’ve officially set the bar so high, my regular Tuesday night tacos are offended.

Food was quite good. We had duck, chicken and steak. Steak was perfectly cooked, but not as flavorful as we expected. Asparagus and cauliflower were unexpectedly good. Rachel, our server was very good. Room was quite quiet unlike many of the other places we dine. We will return.

We had a wonderful dinner out at Tellers last night for my wife’s birthday. It was decorated for the holidays & was very impressive. Our server was very sweet and very attentive. She offered great suggestions as well as told us the history of the building. We had the bread, the fried artichoke appetizer, the short rib rigatoni, and the lobster ravioli. All were flavorful and delicious. We also enjoyed the Brandy Alexander and the the Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA. We stayed at the upstairs hotel which was equally nice. Highly recommend!

This was my first experience at this restaurant, and as with many of this type of restaurants, I was a bit skeptical on what our food quality would be. Well, the views and that part were on point and really spectacular and to my surprise, the food was equally on point and great flavor and quality! It was an overall great experience for all in our party with each of us having a favorite item to boast about. With it being Thanksgiving, my next fear was staffing, but once again, much to my surprise, it was totally staffed and with polite and happy team members. We engaged in pleasant conversations at the bar and table with them and a special touch was having the Manager Evan Askey come by to check on us and end up talking for a bit about the city, restaurant and other things to do in OKC! I would highly recommend this restaurant.
