Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Inner City Northside

I usually get the crab cake or whatever the special is. Tonight I tried the pork chop and I think it may have been the best pork chop I’ve ever had. Service was great as usual.

This was the best steak I've ever eaten. It was cooked exactly as I requested. It was served on a heated plate to keep it hot and melted in my mouth. The service was outstanding. All the servers were knowledgeable and attentive but not bothersome. It definitely lived up to its reputation.

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.

Each of our party of four ordered different entrees which we all totally enjoyed. The crab cake and chicken dip appetizers were both fantastic. Sadly, too full for dessert this trip! Our server had an amazing job, as well!

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.
