    If you're looking for an incredible dining experience in Tulsa, go to Hemingway. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with smiles and genuine warmth. After being seated, our incredible waitress, Angel -- and boy was she an angel -- told us the table was ours for the evening. They truly wanted us to relax, enjoy the food, the company, and the entire experience. The atmosphere transports you into a sophisticated speakeasy with its dark wood furniture, stunning chandeliers, and intimate ambiance. Every detail felt intentional and inviting. Jessica, the manager, even came to sit with us to make sure our evening was everything we hoped for, which speaks volumes about the level of hospitality at Hemingway. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere unforgettable, the food amazing, and the employees made us feel genuinely cared for. If you're looking for one of the best steakhouse experiences with the most incredible staff, go to Hemingway. You will not be disappointed.

    Had my dinner here for my birthday the other night. Parking can be validated with the hostess/host (remember your license plate!). My first reaction after stepping into Hemingway was, wow, I love this speakeasy vibe. The main door is not obvious in an alley way, which led to a basement filled with beautiful wood and dark sexy vibes. 5/5 Wife had a cocktail that was strange, but pretty good! You could tell the bartender was talented. They started us off with bread and butter. My god, the butter was unexpectedly amazing. They mixed garlic and Parmigiano Reggiano into the butter and it was perfect with the bread! Note that if you are a ribeye kind of person like me, your only option is the tomahawk, which wasn't what I wanted so I ordered the dry-aged bone-in strip and shared a few different sides with the wife. The strip was on the smaller side but cooked perfectly. The seasoning was decent and overall a delicious piece of steak. The sides were served family-style and we ordered the corn, creamed spinach, and potatoes. The corn was a smash - fresh off the cobbs, the jalapenos offered a nice kick and the tangy tajin was the cherry on top. So good. The creamed spinach was good. Often times, restaurants can be heavy on the cheese, but not this one. Hemingway's tasted lighter and very nutmeg-forward so if you don't like nutmeg, I wouldn't order this dish. The potatoes were good. I don't have much to comment on it other than it goes well with steaks. Food 4.5/5 We had terrific service (thank you, Emily)! Our waters were always filled, and napkins were folded when we stepped away from the table. For a high-end steakhouse like this, I expected no less. Overall, we had a great time at Hemingway and would certainly dine here again.

    Wonderful dining experience for my husbands birthday! Felt like a speakeasy upon entering with the entry being on the side of the building; dim lighting with elegant decor inside. The steak was cooked perfectly. All the sides were delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly. No special item (like dessert) for a birthday celebration here though.

    Very small venue in a basement. Beautiful setting and restaurant. The entrance is hard to find, and it is on the side of the building. The address is a suggestion. Parking is validated. The service was outstanding! We had a party of 7. They don't have many tables therefore you really need to make a reservation. They can only handle a maximum party of 12, and there are only a limited number of tables and booths. You also need to make a reservation early because they fill up quick. We had the seafood tower (outstanding) and a variety of fish and steak. Limited menu options on choices but everything was phenomenal. We had a bunch of sides which are shared with the table. Carrots, corn, potatoes, Mac & cheese. Drinks were good, nothing top shelf or special. Absolutely a must visit for any special occasion. Realizing that they are $$$$ pricy. It will be $200+ per person easy.

    For my birthday dinner, my husband took me to Hemingway. We had reservations and were greeted by the host upon entering. We gave him our license plate number for parking and were walked to our table. A waiter came by with water, then our waitress arrived with fresh baked bread and butter. She gave us a minute to look over the drink menu. My husband had one of their bourbon cocktails and I had a glass of Merlot. We ordered crab cakes for an appetizer and asked about specials. Shortly after finishing our appetizer, we ordered our entrees. I had the New York strip and my husband had the filet. Both were cooked perfectly! We shared the creamed spinach and the potatoes au gratin for sides. Very good! We couldn't finish it all so the waitress boxed it up for us. I will say that we had previously been to this establishment about a year and a half ago and had a different server (which really made a difference). Our waitress this time was good, but not outstanding like the previous one. It really makes a difference when you are in an upscale environment as this. (For example, this time we inquired about specials and the last time we were told the specials.) And even though on this visit the waitress asked if we were celebrating an occasion, in which I told her it was a birthday dinner. I think she forgot because she never mentioned "happy birthday" or made an acknowledgment before we paid the bill & left. We will still return because we love the food and atmosphere.

    For starters, I have been trying to make reservations here on and off for two years. Every time I call, I am always told that it is a 3 week waitlist. I don't know what I'm doing an hour from now so that always made it difficult. The other night I decided that I was going to go in and try and get a seat at the bar. Lo and behold, they had an open spot for me at a later time at 8:30 which I was cool with...and this happened on Mother's Day weekend, so I was shocked. I can't say enough how cool this place is. It has an awesome atmosphere; dimly lit tables surrounded by a wall of wines... it was really cool, not to mention it is downstairs in a speak easy style setting. For the atmosphere I would give 5 stars. The service was great and had no complaints there whatsoever. We were greeted in a timely manner et and started out with drinks and an appetizer. The service would be given 5 stars. Moving on to the food. As stated before, we started off with the Arancini. I knew that I was at a really nice restaurant and was expecting to drop some money, so that is what I did. The Arancini was $16!!! Now I will say this... it honestly was the best that I ever had. I couldn't ask for anything better, but the down side was that it only came with 3. In my opinion, 3 is an odd number to share, but regardless these were amazing! I ordered my self a dry aged 16oz ribeye while the wife ordered the 4 oz filet. With shared sides, we ordered the charred Brussels sprouts and the Mac and cheese. Breakdown of each item below. Bread and butter- you will receive bread and butter upon arrival...the butter is Awesome!!!!!! I even took some home with me. Charred Brussel Sprouts- probably my favorite part of the main course. They were extremely charred, buttered down, and seasoned nicely. Definitely a must if you go. Mac and cheese- it was good, but not my favorite. The Mac and cheese is done with a roux which was pretty good, but I was hoping for something a little better, this is just personal preference here. 4 oz filet- ordered and presented at the requested cooked level. Nice char on the outside, nice flavor, but not overly impressive. 16 oz dry aged ribeye- I was really hoping for this thing to blow me away, however it fell very short of my expectations. It had a nice outer char. It was ordered and presented at the same cook level, decently seasoned, but it was not a tender piece of meat that I was hoping for. I am a person that generally eats the entire steak fat and all, but I was unable to do so with this piece. Beer- I love beer and love almost all kinds. I ordered a special made beer from cabin boys that is exclusive to Hemingway. This beer was strong, but I wasn't crazy about the profile. If you're looking to spend a cool $25 on this large bottle of beer and get a nice buzz, this is it. Overall, I had a great experience, but I did not believe it was worth the hype that I was hoping. I may go back in the future, but this is not a place that I will be frequently attending. Enjoy the pics below.

    I heard about this place and had the bf make reservations in advance, as you need to. Parking and entry was simple. The entry is stairs so not mobility friendly (is an elevator but broke). The stairs are decorated beautifully though. At the end is the host and no seating while you wait. We were sat immediately and provided water and sourdough bread. We had a server in training who was the bartender. He was knowledgeable and provided excellent service. We ordered the devils on horseback appetizer. Think bacon wrapped dates but elevated. Highly recommend. My boyfriend got the filet mignon and really liked it. I took a bite and was a bit jealous. It came with an entire garlic in which we devoured. I ordered the braised beef. Think "not your mommas pot roast". Meat was incredibly flavorful and fell apart touching it with fork; no knife needed. The potato were yummy but favorite part was crunchy peas and broccolini. We opted for no dessert and no potatoes since we had a late lunch. *Friend raved about potatoes. We'll just have to come back for those items. Highly recommend for a date night. Oh! The drinks were on point!

    10/10! My sorority sisters and I had dinner here while we were in town for a conference. They accommodated less than 24hr reservation easily and used a system I was already familiar with. We were greeted promptly and sat. Our server was Arthur and he was everything. Personable, knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. We had the shrimp cocktail appetizer and then I ordered the filet and spilt mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts with LS. I asked for a French 95 and Arthur hooked it up. It was so freaking good. My steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were amazing as well. We took pictures afterwards and the staff actually recommended areas that would be best to take them in. If you have a chance, go!

    Best waiter we have ever had. So courteous and kind. Food was excellent and the atmosphere is very welcoming. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely return.

    The food was excellent but the price is quite high. The price factor inevitably correlates with how critical i will be on the review. No complaints on service! They are experts in their field. Very friendly, attentive, respectful and helpful. All things desired with service. The Ambiance is cozy with a splash of posh! It is not overly dark but has the right amount of ambient light to create an intimate dinner setting. The food is well above average, my favorite was the sea food tower. Everything about it was excellent! The lobster soup was great, I liked more than the French onion, which was also very good. If I had one complaint, I would offer, not to get the tomahawk steak. Rather, opt for a different steak, all of which were very good. The tomahawk just lacked a crust and flavor profile that should be desired with any steak. Being the most expensive listed item on the menu, order a different steak and you will be pleased.

The shrimp were tiny and the sandwich was covered with a sauce I didn't like. It should have occurred to me that the fried green tomatoes might also be Cajun. We don't like Cajun but thought the sandwiches might not have all the Cajun seasoning. We should have asked. Another lady at the table got the same thing and she didn't like hers, either. She did ask for ranch dressing for the fried green tomatoes. I followed suite. It did make the tomato's easier to eat but they still were not good. We only got 3 slices each and didn't finish them. I left almost all of my sandwich. I broke off a piece of the bread hoping it might be a good rich bread that I could nibble on. No luck. My husband ordered crawfish étouffée. He said it wasn't warm and tasted like it had been under a heat lamp too long. It was also salty and he has to watch his sodium. He left nearly all of it. One couple ordered voodoo chicken and smashed potatoes. They liked it and ate it all. One person got a chicken sandwich that he said was good. The 2 children got hamburgers and Mac and cheese. They loved the Mac and cheese but barely ate any of the burgers. Their grandmother took a bite of one of the burgers and said it was good. She took the burgers home for the kids. They put the gratuity on the check without telling us. My husband was about to add a gratuity but his sister noticed it was already added and stopped him. They charged us to use a credit card. That alone is enough to keep me from going back. The ambiance was New Orleans decor and pleasant.

The hush puppies were good but I prefer just plain regular old hush puppies. These tasted like they had maybe jalapeño in it. They went spicy just a little kick to them. The serving size is a big portion for the combos. It came with three fish fillets. The fish was fried good but it lacked seasoning. The shrimp was good! We all actually liked the shrimp. The fries were good too there was just a lot. My son loved the onion rings. My husband ordered the jumbo shrimp combo and he loved his shrimp. They were fried perfectly. He also got a side of corn which was good. I saw this place on TikTok and that's what brought me here. Like I said it was good and I love the fact that it is made fresh right there,but it lacked seasoning. Oh and I also loved that it wasn't fishy, if that makes sense.

They definitely have their own twist on things. The sweet potatoes were good but a little heavy on the nutmeg. They tasted like a mix of apple and pumpkin pie. The mac and cheese was really creamy. I really liked the horseradish coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of collard greens but I still tried them and actually thought they were pretty good. For our mains, two of us had the brisket and one had ribs. Both were super good. There were 4 different sauces. I recommend trying them all. I wanted to try the sausage but they were sold out. I guess you need to get there earlier than an hour before they closed. We finished with a couple desserts. The banana pudding was probably the best I've had. Their seasonal cobbler was blueberry and very tasty! I was hoping for peach. Maybe next time. Yes there will definitely be a next time. It was a lot of food so we had plenty left over that ate for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is super friendly and really clean. Like most barbecue places I've been to there is no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal.
