New Restaurants in town

[joiei]

Lucky's - good food, a bit pricey.  I will go back,  it was only their second night to be open.  I plan on going back in a couple of weeks.

Lava Noshery - I had dinner there the other night as part of the Restaurant Week that is happening.  Had an excellent experience for $30.  A nice salad, a grilled salmon filet over artichoke and broccoli hash and a slice of cheesecake.  I will go back.  

KEO - My new favorite place to eat in Tulsa.  Upscale Asian with out being over priced or another cheap imitation of PF CHangs which I am bored with.   Try the sampler appetizer.  I had the shrimp crepe and it came with enough lettuce to wrap and was red leaf not iceberg.  The peanut dipping sauce was delicious.  Their iced tea is also very good.  I highly recommend you check this place out.

Could you post locations?

Visited Local Table at 44th and Peoria -- delicious and  great service.

If I may chime in on the new restaurant thread, I went to the Local Table for lunch today and it was great!  We also were doing our part with Restaurant Week.  I had the goat cheese and sundried tomato flat bread, trout with spinach and tomato, and strawberry shortcake.  Yummy!  I was happy to see it was quite busy at lunch.

I think Restaurant Week is a great idea and I hope it is successful.  Good way to raise money for the Food Bank and to try new restaurants you've been meaning to try.  Not to mention, supporting local businesses as most of them are.  Goes on through Saturday.  More info at www.tulsapeoplemagazine.com/rw

Regarding locations from the previous post:
Lucky's- formerly Camerelli's on Cherry St.
Lava- formerly Table Ten in Brookside
KEO- in the new Center 1 in Brookside

Where (more precisely) is Local Table?
Old Fuddrucker's locale?
What's the cuisine?

I was a bit confused by the advertising for restaurant week which said "please visit one of the participating restaurants and they will give to the community food bank, thank you"

Seemed completely devoid of actual information.

10% of all Restaurant Week food sales are going to the Food Bank.  Other restaurants involved in Restaurant week are
A Bar and Kitchen (which still looks closed)
BIga
Bodeans (if they got moved)
The Brasserie
The Chalkboard
Ciao
Dalesandros
Flemings
The French Hen
Fifty5 Degrees
The Garlic Rose
IN the Raw
Kokoa
Lava Noshery
Local Table
The Polo Grill
Osage (at Gilcrease Museum)
and The Melting Pot

From the website

quote: Restaurant Week is an opportunity to visit new or favorite restaurants and enjoy three-course menus at special prices. Participating restaurants are offering several prix fixe three-course menus at special prices: $12.95 for lunch and $29.95 for dinner. Each prix fixe meal purchased will result in an automatic 10 percent donation to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma to help fight hunger. The prix fixe offerings feature three-course meals with a choice of several delicious appetizers, entrées and desserts.

Oh, and Southerngirl, thanks for the help posting locations.

I guess I need to broaden my horizons, I haven't heard of five or six of the places on the restaurant week list.

Anyone eat at that new Irish restaurant down at 13th & Harvard yet?  Called McDonald's or something like that. []

I have heard of and driven by Bodeans, the Chalkboard, and I have been to a luncheon held at the Gilcrease Museum about 12 years ago.  

Never heard anything about any of the others on the list, other than what I have read here.  

On another note, to increase flow of potential customers to areas of Tulsa, one reason I discovered today that causes folks to work, eat and purchase goods in their home zone is ghe geographic barriers in Tulsa.  Best thing Tulsa could do about the Arkansas river would be to add more bridges running across it up by 49th West Ave and close to downtown connecting the north and south banks together.  

I found myself driving around 20 extra miles today just to get over towards Chandler Park and then back to Charles Page near Gilcrease Drive.  Had there been a bridge or bypass, would of cut off 16 miles from my round trip.  Not to mention a dozen or more traffic lights.

Has anyone tried the new Cheesecake factory restaurant?  I don't know anything about it, but the lines outside tonight was quite amazing to watch.  Is it just because we have a new place in town to try, or they're that good?[:O]

New place in town.  It'll die down soon.  It's just a restaurant and people will figure that out.

It's not like it's a new phone that people will wait in line for hours for and then never regret paying too much...

Cheesecake factory always has a wait in line, no matter the location or how long it's been open. That is actually their modus operandi. Keep in mind Texas Roadhouse has been open for years and still has 1-2 hour wait many nights. CF has been doing 3+ hours.

I've eaten at the one here and in other places. It's good food. Not worth waiting 3 hours, but still pretty good.

I'm sure there will be waits.  There are in any favored restaurant in town.  It will die down though.
