What makes this restaurant unique: Upscale, innovative cuisine in a modern setting on Brookside

Tell us about your experience: Went with three others on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm.  It was pretty empty when we arrived but quickly filled up.  It's a small space, very minimal like the other businesses on the west side of Peoria between 34th and 35th Place aka The White District.  The kitchen is literally in the middle of the restaurant, and there is a small store that sells beer in the back.

The wine list is small, so if you're expecting a wide selection you will be disappointed.  The menu is also small.  The few options that they do have are interesting though, and include risotto (VERY heavy on the garlic), salads (the warm apple salad was excellent), prime rib, and duck (which I had, and it was very good).  The prices are a bit steep but not too bad for an upscale place in Brookside.  They change the menu often, so I hear.  

Definitely recommend it.  Good to see innovative restaurants like this in Tulsa, and hopefully they are successful.
